It certainly has use cases, but they’re more marketing oriented. It can help people who’re not fluent in English write better copy, it can do low key reporting work by writing articles from press releases, it can summarize or classify text, or do sentiment analysis. There are probably a couple of billion in revenues in there with various APIs. But it just isn’t the next big thing as we’ve led to believe the last few weeks. The kind of technology that could give Microsoft a fighting chance against Google.

- elorant 4y agoI didn't said journalism, I said reporting. A lot of the stuff in news outlets are copies of press releases.
- wpietri 4y agoI think "reporting" is a term without an agreed definition outside of journalistic context. But I'd be happy to argue that it isn't reporting either. I agree that there are plenty of outlets that might qualify as news-shaped, or perhaps news-flavored. They might use AI-rewritten press releases. E.g., CNET's private-equity slide into untrustworthiness. But these things are basically parasitic on actual journalism. So although this is technically a use case for ChatGPT, it's a societally negative one.

We applied this insight in creating TikTok videos. https://medium.finclout.io/everything-in-this-video-is-generative-ai-f468573dcdae https://medium.finclout.io/everything-in-this-video-is-gener... And while a lot of the basic parts of creativity can be handed over, the implementation of the higher parts of creativity are still firmly in human hands.
