Exactly. It’s similar to someone saying Google can do a superhuman amount of work.
“All I had to do is search for a sample product launch email and POOF it appeared! Just had to fill in the company name.”
It’s the same thing with the minor code snippets being “written” by Chat GPT. Any real programmer knows that Google could give you pretty much the same thing. And they also know how complicated their actual job is that goes well beyond the simple prompts people are using that everyone has been googling for over a decade now.
It’s all hyperbole. This technology is just an evolutionary improvement on Google.
- dTal 4y agoThat's one application. You don't find it at least a little jaw dropping that the same program that is "an evolutionary improvement on Google" for programming tasks can also translate text, write (bad but improving) poetry, give reasonable relationship advice, creatively answer questions of the form "what do <x> and <y> have in common" for even radically different x and y, and correctly solve analogy puzzles? All in fluent English?
- copperx 4y agoEnglish? I've been prompting GPT-4 in Spanish all along, and it responds in impeccable Spanish. I can ask it to change the writing style of an essay to famous Latin American writers and it does it admirably. Translating back and forth between English and Spanish respecting meaning and context, even subtleties, no problem. Better than DeepL. If y'all have been focusing on GPT-4 coding abilities, I ask you to try it with literature-based prompts. GPT-4 is an exceptional writer, summarizer, and style corrector.
