Two very different things. I could never really see crypto taking off without massive political changes. ChatGPT, on the other hand, is already my daily assistant. The utility is here and now.
It's rarely perfect, but it gets me 90% of the way there, then I tweak the output.
How good it is depends on what you're using it for, as with anything - I don't think it's really a good fit for something like a search engine (yet) as it's terrible with facts.
But scaffolding code, summarizing text, expanding outlines - it's very good at those kinds of tasks, often astoundingly good.
- panarky 4y ago> it's terrible with facts It's terrible with specific facts, and frequently hallucinates dates, math, book titles and citations to sources. But it's awesome with ideas and concepts. Today I spent an hour chatting about the competing ideologies, groups, motivations, objectives, and foreign allies and adversaries in Spain leading up to the 1936 coup and civil war. I cross-checked many of its assertions, and it nailed some pretty esoteric stuff.
