You couldn’t be further from the truth.
This is the single greatest leap in productivity we’ve had in the last 100 years.
Last week, I used GPT-4 to write my code. Later, I used it to analyze 100+ websites and come up with a personalized pitch for a relevant plugin/product idea - something that would have taken me 100+ hours.
- uxcolumbo 4y agoHow did you use it to analyse websites? Did it go scrape stuff for you or did already have the data or did you paste in the website data?
- hallway_monitor 4y agoIt has plugins now. It can search the web. It's connected to Wolfram. Zapier. It can do things. Even before that you could hack something together. I told it how to request an image be included in responses - it includes [fluffy unicorn], I parse that out, feed it to another GPT to get a better description, then feed that to DALL-E to get the image to include
- mach1ne 4y agoYes, but it hallucinates sometimes. /s
- Gigablah 4y agoI mean, that’s exactly what it’s being used for — hallucination.
- nsomaru 4y agoHow did you provide the info for those 100 websites to GPT?
- csomar 4y agoIf it makes you feel better (or worse?). I am using it daily and extensively. It is a productivity boost but not something that will propel me to god-level and the more I use it (Codex in particular) the more I discover its limitations; and that's where my conclusion has came from: It is too limited beyond the local scope it has. It is not clear (and there are no indications) it can make a jump from that local scope.
- nullsense 4y agoIt seems then that it's usefulness depends on the intersection of what you want/need to do, what the model is capable of doing, and what you're capable of getting the model to do. In some cases the impact might be enormous, and in others perhaps less so. One thing is for sure, the models are getting more capable, and along with that people are investing time/effort/money into improving their capability to leverage what the models can do.
- rrrrrrrrrrrryan 4y agoAre you using GPT-3.5 or GPT-4?
- skummetmaelk 4y agoIronically you've proven you have no value add over GPT-4 by choosing to use it to complete your tasks.
- roer 4y agoThat seems like it supports his point pretty well. If he can use it to basically replace most of his work, then it doesn't seem like a bubble at all
- nullsense 4y ago1000x this.
- spaceman_2020 4y agoWhat it does is it makes you multidisciplinary. You might be a coder who struggles with writing social media posts and blog headlines. GPT fills that shortcoming. It’s also a massive skill multiplier. It can turn someone with a 3-6 months knowledge of a discipline equivalent to someone with 2-3 years (or even more) in the field.
- kolinko 4y agoHow did you make it analyse 100+ websites? Scraping html and pasting it to gpt, or some other way? I'm doing similar things, and wondering how other people handle it.
