GPT-4 has helped a rank noob like me build an app that's far beyond my capabilities.
Maybe the code isn't perfect, but all I wanted was to take something live, and it's accelerated that process by months.
To me, it already feels far beyond a cool tech demo.
- Retric 4y agoThat’s exactly the kind of task they excel at, they can also help someone write school essays. My objection is the end quality seems stuck at that level. They’re great at crossing the just barely acceptable level but make it harder to reach excellence by for example having many subtle bugs. Which I suspect comes from their training set. Their training sets are simply dominated by amateur efforts.
- spaceman_2020 4y agoHow can you assert that the end quality is stuck at the same level when we literally had a massive leap in quality within 4 months? chatGPT with 3.5 was released in November 2022. 4 in March 2023. Massive leap in quality between the two relases.
- pmoriarty 4y agoNot just school essays. They're already outcompeting professional writers[1], to list just one of countless examples where people are finding them useful.

- Retric 4y agoAI has already replaced a lot of writers when quality is irrelevant. The AP started doing so in 2014: https://www.ap.org/discover/artificial-intelligence https://www.ap.org/discover/artificial-intelligence “Today he emailed saying that although he knows AI’s work isn’t nearly as good as mine, he can’t ignore the profit margin.”
