After using ChatGPT 4 extensively for a few days, I think we're probably only a few years away from the first generation of truly conversational assistants ala Jarvis in Iron Man. Between LangChain and existing voice recognition software, we've already 95% of the way there, it just needs to be packaged up into a UI/UX that makes sense.
These local models are absolutely critical for that to happen though. I'm hitting daily situations where I have to reconsider my use of ChatGPT because what I'm asking would leak very private personal information or somehow trip its morality filter.
Just swapped in a 2TB nvme for a separate /home mount and reinstalled Arch just so I could have enough disk space to test a dozen models locally. I'm so ready!
- meghan_rain 4y agoI pray to the AI gods that OpenAI will fail at calibrating the censorship layer and will continue to overcensor, which in turn will hopefully lead to many usecases requiring local LLMs, which in turn would increase the incentive to build them.
- barking_biscuit 4y agoOnly a few years? Nobody can predict accurately in years anymore. Feels more like "only a few months" away.
- pmoriarty 4y agoI'm not so confident. The speed of recent advances may be due to picking low-hanging fruit. Soon there may not be much low-hanging fruit left.
- barking_biscuit 4y agoTrue, though perhaps maybe "low hanging fruit is all you need?" :P
- alfor 4y agoGPT-4 training was finished last summer. Karpathy is working on a JARVIS there. I think they already have something quite good for internal use, maybe trying to make it "safe" before releasing it. My guess: we will have a competent JARVIS(minus the holograms) this year.
