Ask HN: What's your favorite GPT powered tool?

263 points by surrTurr 3y ago

There have been many tools powered by GPTs coming out over the past few months. Too many. Which ones are actually worth using?

ChatGPT. No point in adding an expensive middleman on top that’s usually just a few clever prompt tricks. Side note: having gotten access to Copilot Chat, it’s disturbing how quickly the ChatGPT UI has become established in my mind as the standard. Copilot Chat, despite being integrated into VS Code, feels clunky and alien compared to ChatGPT in a separate window. Funny how fast new things become the standard by which others are measured.
- laratied 3y ago
  Same for me. I think this will only be more true once I am using plugins as standard.

I built a tool that gives GPT a Docker container to run commands in to accomplish a particular task. I find myself using it for things like simple file conversions (it mounts the current working directory into the container). It can install software in the container so it’s like a chatbot with the entire apt universe at its disposal. https://github.com/drifting-in-space/botsh https://github.com/drifting-in-space/botsh

  I think it's OK for there to be multiple definitions for a TLA (Three Letter Acronym, but also Tennessee Library Association, Temporal Logic of Actions and quite a few others.) I had genuinely never seen GPT used for General Purpose Technology until I followed your link to Wikipedia.

Raycast AI (now Raycast Pro). It makes using GPT more accessible and user-friendly by bringing it right to where you need it. Also their take on AI Commands is quite useful. You can create commands with a custom prompt and the prompt will additionally contain the currently selected text. Some example AI commands that are built in (you can of course create your own commands): - Improve Writing - Change Tone to Friendly / Confident / Professional / Casual - Fix Spelling and Grammar - Find Bugs in Code - Explain Code Step by Step - Explain This in Simple Terms https://www.raycast.com/pro https://www.raycast.com/pro
- swah 3y ago
  Downside is that you can't select GPT4 for now - probably because users would associate the slowness with Raycast then.

Phind is a GPT powered search engine optimized for developers / technical documentation. It searches the web and tries to aggregate results from multiple web sites. Although there are instances where it references outdated versions of libraries, on balance, it significantly reduced my time spent on technical research. https://www.phind.com/ https://www.phind.com/
- cik 3y ago
  +10 for phind. It's the only GPT tool I find that works well - for me currently.
- cnity 3y ago
  For me, the beauty of Phind is that it will wade through the ad ridden web 3.0 hellscape to get an answer for me in plain text. I am not sure exactly how much of that process is to do with the language model per se. Probably basic vector store distance measures and traditional indexing paired with text extraction would do the job "just as well". I don't really need the natural language spin on top (I think).
- oefrha 3y ago
  Yeah, Phind has replaced Google for half of my searches. My only small complaint is reliability — occasionally I get “inference service not available” (paraphrased) and have to regenerate once or more.
- unshavedyak 3y ago
  I wish Phind would "autoGPT" a bit more, though. It often feels like Phind just grabs the top X results and makes a reply from those. If i was searching and those results came up i'd often skip them. Strangely i use ChatGPT4 every day but am using Phind less and less. When i have something to search the web for, Kagi is faster for me. When i want to search GPT4 (thoughts/whatever) ChatGPT is faster for me. Phind is cool, but kinda feeling like the worse version of each.. if that makes sense.
  - addandsubtract 3y ago
    It doesn't just pick the top result though. I was given an answer from SO that wasn't the top voted and not the "approved" answer, either. But it was, imo, the best answer it could've given me. I was pleasantly surprised.

News Minimalist: > It uses AI (ChatGPT-4) to read the top 1000 news every day and rank them by significance on a scale from 0 to 10 based on event magnitude, scale, potential, and source credibility. https://www.newsminimalist.com/ https://www.newsminimalist.com/
- testHNac 3y ago
  Most of the articles in top 10 seem to be about Ukraine. I understand the war is significant, but 5 articles in Top 10 ? 3 articles in Top 20 about Israel ? They should work on how exactly is the significance determined, and significant for whom ?
  - rkangel 3y ago
    Significance is obviously subjective, but you can definitely make an argument that "major world power is trying to take over a country" is significant. It's been going on for a while which makes it harder to feel like it's so important, but it really is.
    - yakhinvadim 3y ago
      Hey, author here. That was the initial idea. Significant events don't stop being significant once we get tired of hearing about them. But there's definitely a problem of duplicates. When separate news sites post about a similar event it get rated relatively similar by ChatGPT, which creates clusters like we see today. I want to solve this soon by combining similar stories into single block with one title.

        That's another problem I had noticed from a bit of a play (similar problem with boringreport), so I'm glad you're already on it! I've signed up for premium.

  Interesting. Is there a way to shape it to topics you care about? It's all about Sudan and Ukraine, which while globally important I'm much more interested in local (Australian) news / tech news.

    I'm not a paid user (yet?), but it seems on the pricing page that you can pay $10/mo for shaping topics to your prefs.
  - yakhinvadim 3y ago
    Hey, author here. Yeah, the initial idea was to uncover globally significant news, but a lot of people are asking for ways to find "locally important" or "industry important" news. So I'm shifting my direction a little bit. It's currently possible to filter news by broad category in a paid version (health, science, tech). I plan to expand the list of categories, so it's possible to go deeper. I also plan to add news in other languages (translated) and add country filters, so it's possible to see only news related to individual country/region.
    - unsupp0rted 3y ago
      Thanks for building this! One thing I'd love is for there to be fewer duplicates. The top 6 stories at the moment are duplicates of a single story: 7.7 - Russia launches intense air attack on Kyiv, Ukraine claims to have shot down all 18 missiles. 7.1 - Series of explosions heard in Kyiv as Russia attacks. 7.1 - Massive Russian missile strike hits Kyiv in attempt to destroy Ukraine's new air defence systems. 6.9 - Kyiv targeted by dense Russian missile and drone attack. 6.9 - Russian drones and ballistic missiles attack Ukraine's capital after President Zelensky secures new arms pledges. 6.9 - Russia launches intense air attack on Kyiv with drones, cruise missiles, and possible ballistic missiles.

  You're using a language model to give retail investors that don't know any better financial advice? This is a horrendous idea that will probably get you sued if you act like it's an investment strategy. Financial advice, like legal advice, is not something you can trust an AI to give out as if it's complete advice. There's a reason you need a license for this.
- messe 3y ago
  Oh wow. Every sentence in your comment just makes it progressively worse. What you’re creating is outright dangerous if not actively malicious. You’re targeting inexperienced retail investors, and giving them financial advice that you’ve pulled out of an LLMs arse. Somebody is going to get hurt, and you are without going to get sued over it. It’s not an if, but when. EDIT: s/ u/ i/
  - greggsy 3y ago
    I’m sure they have a ‘this is not financial advice’ notice, which is likely to be about as effective as those offered by the finfluencers currently being targeted by the Australian Tax Office.
    - messe 3y ago
      I'd have a bit more (still not much) sympathy for them if they hadn't said they're actively targeting inexperienced investors. That's just inevitably going to fuck someone over. And yeah, a notice like that is about as valid as a warranty-void-if-removed sticker. I took a look at their site, and it seems like they're pushing NFTs as well, and although their site doesn't seem to mention blockchain, their investor pitch deck does seem to. So many red flags. It's times like these I think that maybe software engineers should need to be professionally licensed.

  fyi, he self-identified as GPT-3, and did not seem to be "aware" that he was specialized in science, but in "a wide range of topics". Edit: and I strongly suggest you create a "Delete your account" page or at least a way to contact the person responsible to do it :).
  - oersted 3y ago
    There's not a even a logout button yet :) Noted, you are right. Yes interestingly GPT-4 identifies as GPT-3, and you need to be quite explicit about asking it to search for the answer in papers (see collapsed prompt). But it is excellent at using the content of papers to ground itself, it is really hard to make it hallucinate or provide evidence for scientifically incorrect claims. And it is so much faster than searching for whole papers and reading through them. We are focusing on the core value of giving it access to scientific knowledge right now, but we are working hard to mature everything surrounding it too.

I'll mention one which I didn't write, which I found pretty cool. iOS app "Friday" lets you use to talk to ChatGPT.

softwaredoug 3y ago
Just ChatGPT itself. It’s my therapist, stackoverflow, Wikipedia, and many other things. Best $20/month I’ve ever spent. I’m skeptical of most prompt-based tools. I’d rather just get to the source and tweak ChatGPT to talk about exactly what I want.
- softwaredoug 3y ago
  I see chat very similarly to how I see spreadsheets - a computing paradigm for non programmers. As such they provide a very specific abstraction for broad range of tasks. The moat for most prompt based tools is very small. These tools are similar to the moat of a spreadsheet template. At the end of the day whether it’s a spreadsheet to track my mortgage or a tailored prompt, I typically want to fine tune it for just me.
- muzani 3y ago
  I still use the "vanilla" stuff. GPT-4 has been superior to Phind in my experience, especially on technical questions. And the web browsing beta closes all the holes remaining. Downside is speed, but it's a fire and forget thing. I tried AutoGPT and the like, but found the self-iteration not very helpful when tackling real world problems. GPT-4 gives enough step-by-step instructions to do anything I need it to do, without it being wired into my file system. Prompt engineering seems to be a thing of the past with GPT-4 too, though you still need to give context, which "prompt engineering tools" don't help with. Plugins are also pretty powerful. It seems to hallucinate a lot with Zapier, but it's still the best tool by far.
  - softwaredoug 3y ago
    Agree on AutoGPT. It’s more useful for me to share what happened and ask follow up questions. Also sometimes it simply is bad at something, and putting it in an AutoGPT loop just makes things more confusing :). At that point I just use google.

  Nice solution with the search and replace blocks to edit code. I spent quite awhile trying to get regular patch files for stuff to work consistently. Then I switched to having it use sed which was better but still not totally consistent. Can you add a license?
  - anotherpaulg 3y ago
    I just added Apache 2.0. Thanks for the reminder, I've been meaning to add a license. I tried `sed` as well, every variant of `diff` output, various json structured formats, etc. The edit block syntax I chose is modeled after the conflict resolution markup you get from a failed `git merge`. I find it's very helpful to ask GPT to output in a format that is already in popular use. It has probably seen plenty of examples in its training data. Asking GPT to output edits really only works ~reliably in GPT-4. Even then, my parser has to be permissive and go with the flow. GPT-3.5 was a lost cause for outputting any editing syntax -- it only worked reliably by outputting the entire modified source file. Which was slow and wasted the small context window. Both 3.5 and 4 seem to be able to think more clearly about the actual coding task when you allow them to use an output format they're comfortable with. If you require them to output a bespoke format, or try too hard to ask for "minimal" edits... the quality of the actual code changes suffers. The models are used to seeing uninterrupted blocks of code in plain text, and so they seem to do best if you choose an output format that embraces that.

shell_gpt is pretty neat just in terms of having ChatGPT up and running in your console very quickly, and being able to customize the role. Using ChatGPT in the shell has been a really good experiences, cutting down on the distractions of using a browser and google search results a lot.

I am using ChatGPT to convert some very brittle tidyverse (R) code into base R, and it’s outstanding. I could finally learn (and then try to remember) all of R’s conventions but it’s a lot more pleasurable to have the chatbot actually do the converting from ideas into code. The context is that I am someone who codes in intense bursts every few months, so a lot of the details never really transition from short-term to long-term memory. ChatGPT is perfect for this.

Am I the only one who isn't using ChatGPT on a regular basis? Though I've made a few attempts to use it, generally I already know the answers to most trivial questions. And by going into more complex questions and scenarios, it becomes apparent that ChatGPT lacks a deep understanding of the suggestions it provides. It turns out to be a pretty frustrating experience. Also I've noticed that by the time I've crafted intricate prompts, I could have easily skimmed through a few pages of official docs and found a solution. That said, considering the widespread buzz surrounding ChatGPT, it's entirely possible that I may simply be using it incorrectly.

  - sgt 3y ago
    It's been a few weeks ago, but I recall asking ChatGPT about models in Django, which on the surface it often gets perfect. However, when I asked that the model in question needs to be unmanaged and backed by a SQL view (which I pasted), which had previously been applied from a migration script, it became pretty obvious that ChatGPT is just putting together sentences that are highly likely to be true, but not really understanding the architecture of Django. So that's one example - and it's not even a particularly complex scenario.

My favorite thing to use ChatGPT for is a personal tutor. I've been able, for my own intellectual interest, to educate myself about some topics in math and CS that have so far eluded me. The descriptions it generates are better than anything I've found elsewhere and if it's not clear I can say things like "explain the above for an audience with a background in computer programming" and it will re-attempt the explanation. Rather ironically I'm using ChatGPT to teach me about AI, explaining concepts like tensors and attention layers. It's a great way to make sure I'm in good with Roko's Basilisk since my AI-generated immortal soul will be able to cite my ChatGPT log as proof that I helped bring the Basilisk into existence.

I have been using LLMs to automatically repair security vulnerabilities. I have a set of tools which build prompts describing the environment and the output of vulnerability scans. The tool then requests a shell script to disable/fix/update the vulnerability. The script is submitted as a PR which has actions that run integration tests. Human intervention is sometimes needed, but the focus is on better engineering of prompts (and by proxy tooling). Describing the environment relies heavily on a CMDB, so this is not a one-size-fits-all approach and this is functioning entirely in my personal lab of ~100 servers.

I'm still trying to find a good work flow. But I like to ask Bing questions, if i have a simple thought of 'what does this mean' or 'how does this work' to get a high level overview of something that is not vital that I know everything, it's just something I heard and realised I had no idea about what it was/how it worked. And i've started using heypi.com as a personal coach, just talking through anything I am feeling/struggling with and i'm really liking that at the moment. I've felt for the longest time I could do with someone to bounce ideas around or talk to about life and struggled to find someone that understood my nonsense and overthinking, AI seems to be a good job with it and i don't have to worry about being insecure with what I am talking about as it's just an AI.

(apparently) Unpopular opinion: It's pretty cool that there are so many "look what I made" responses here. This feels like what happens in a renaissance; there aren't the tools so people are making their own. It might also be demonstrating that the tools are helping to speed innovation, allowing people to "punch above their weight".

  My interpretation is that there are no great tools, otherwise there would exist goto answers. It's been out so many months that there at least should be a handfull of them if they actually were great.

I've been using the api in S-GPT [1]. An iOS shortcut that I use to primarily summarize the body text content of a webpage I'm on from the share-sheet. When it can fit the text in the context, I'm pretty happy with the the results. It also supports sending it your clipboard contents when you launch it and it parses the words "clipboard". Good for when in a pinch.

Havana summarizes my sales calls and drafts a follow-up email automatically after each call. https://tryhavana.com https://tryhavana.com When you do more than 5-10 sales calls a week, writing up notes and emails can take hours of your time. It's tedious work but also must be done (otherwise you might forget what's going on in a deal when it's time to do another call down the line!). Also, the quality of the summaries and emails must be good (clear, readable) but not necessarily great (we're not looking to win a Pulitzer here). It's the perfect kind of task for GPT.

Not necessarily OpenAI GPT powered, but local LLMs have gotten pretty good over the past few weeks. I am most interested in using an LLM for automation with tools like AutoGPT and Godmode.space.

I have been using it as a code companion getting it to do some dirty work that I would have had to ask Google and wade through results and find a "similar example to what I'm trying to achieve, then having to apply it to my situation. Instead I can describe my precise situation to ChatGTP and get something that is almost 95% ready to plug in straight to my code. I will give an example. I work on asp.net, heavy sql backend application. Sometimes while I am working on a big task, I skip a few things as I develop and hone in on my ultimate solution. Then I go back and tidy things up. I would sometimes mock data that I would have had to write onto real sql tables into temporary tables and at the end, I would go and turn those temp tables into real tables. ChatGPT has been very good at say turning those temporary (staging) work into real work e.g. Hey ChatGTP, here's my settings table which I have defined as a temporary table, can you write me a script that turns this into the real table, and another script for the data import script e.g. Hey chatGTP, I need to output this xml from this sql, can you have a go at turning this into something like this, here's the table schema I'm working with

I've been using a tool that I've been developing myself (with GPT assitance lol) to basically monitor issues in a list of Github repositories, make the requested changes, and open a pull request to close the issue. It can also monitor comments on a pull request, and classify them as "question" (respond with answer) or "request" (update PR with requested changes and respond with additional info). It's not perfect but it's at a point now where it is allowing me to make significant progress on personal projects that I would not otherwise have time to do. I already sit in front of a computer at work all day. I want to minimize doing that outside of work, but I still have lots of code projects I want to do on the side. Main repo: https://github.com/mobyvb/pull-pal https://github.com/mobyvb/pull-pal Examples: - Drafting an action plan and coming up with open questions based on specific requirements (issue: https://github.com/mobyvb/download-simulator-2023/issues/1 https://github.com/mobyvb/download-simulator-2023/issues/1, PR created by bot: https://github.com/mobyvb/download-simulator-2023/pull/2/files https://github.com/mobyvb/download-simulator-2023/pull/2/fil...) - See also asking the bot to write code based on a step in the generated action plan: https://github.com/mobyvb/download-simulator-2023/issues/3 https://github.com/mobyvb/download-simulator-2023/issues/3 and PR https://github.com/mobyvb/download-simulator-2023/pull/4 https://github.com/mobyvb/download-simulator-2023/pull/4. In this PR, pay attention to the comments I left; the bot takes feedback from the comments and will update the code accordingly, allowing you to iterate on a single PR before merging code - Basic updates to existing HTML file (issue: https://github.com/mobyvb/pull-pal/issues/4 https://github.com/mobyvb/pull-pal/issues/4, PR: https://github.com/mobyvb/pull-pal/pull/5/files https://github.com/mobyvb/pull-pal/pull/5/files) - Writing an Arduino script from scratch based on specific requirements (issue: https://github.com/mobyvb/midi-looper/issues/1 https://github.com/mobyvb/midi-looper/issues/1, PR: https://github.com/mobyvb/midi-looper/pull/2/files https://github.com/mobyvb/midi-looper/pull/2/files) Still lots of improvement to go but I'm having a lot of fun. Exposition if you want: My experience using GPT4 for programming has been pretty fun. First I was experimenting with prompts like "Given <this code>, how do I accomplish <this task>?" I have been discovering things about what types of tasks it's particularly good at (generating action plans, breaking tasks down into subtasks, writing simple-ish code). The code is usually stuff I could figure out myself, but it's still (sometimes) more efficient than me trying to write it, then do some google searching, update it, etc... The chat format also makes iterative improvement fairly easy, e.g. "you forgot to use <some variable>" or "please add comments explaining what the code does" or "replace this text in the html with some generated content about a digital assistant tool" I'm a manager and team lead so I find myself writing a lot of tickets based on high-level product requirements for my team to work on. Because I am very familiar with the code base, I often provide a lot of technical detail, e.g. providing links to specific files, functions, and PRs relevant to the issue. I found that prompting GPT4 with a similar level of detail resulted in success. However, it was still really good at more general tasks. An example of a task that GPT performs pretty well at: "write an index.html landing page with a content section that is vertically and horizontally centered using flexbox. In the content section, generate a heading and paragraph talking about an AI-powered digital assistant for programmers. Add some basic styling to the page, with soft colors. The font of the heading and paragraph should be different. Serve index.html from a main.go file on port 8080. Also add an endpoint to the server at POST /api/number which returns a random integer between 14 and 37. In index.html, add a button that calls this endpoint and displays the number on the page" (GPT4 can handle this prompt easily with no errors in the code; GPT3 will struggle, so it needs to be broken down more) I could do all of the stuff in that example myself. But so can AI. I prefer to write out what I want and get some code that's usually 90%-100% perfect, make some slight modifications, maybe ask for some different color options, etc.. Point is, that's probably 30 mins saved for the same end result (honestly, better, considering my design skills are nonexistent). I work a lot with Github repos already, so it was straightforward to me to replace the ChatGPT interface with a "Github interface" which I'm already familiar with and like (open issue, reference issue from PR, merge PR, issue auto closed). I also like being able to iterate on a "pending" change in a PR by leaving comments before merge. Also, I can do it from my phone! To see the specific prompts this tool is using as the foundation (at the moment), see * https://github.com/mobyvb/pull-pal/blob/main/llm/prompts/code-change-request.tmpl https://github.com/mobyvb/pull-pal/blob/main/llm/prompts/cod... * https://github.com/mobyvb/pull-pal/blob/main/llm/prompts/comment-diff-request.tmpl https://github.com/mobyvb/pull-pal/blob/main/llm/prompts/com... If you have read this far, I hope it sounds interesting to you. The tool is GPL licensed, and I would love if other people tried it out so that I can get feedback on the best improvements to make/bugs to fix.

ChatGPT. No point in adding an expensive middleman on top that’s usually just a few clever prompt tricks. Side note: having gotten access to Copilot Chat, it’s disturbing how quickly the ChatGPT UI has become established in my mind as the standard. Copilot Chat, despite being integrated into VS Code, feels clunky and alien compared to ChatGPT in a separate window. Funny how fast new things become the standard by which others are measured.

Same for me. I think this will only be more true once I am using plugins as standard.

Phind is a GPT powered search engine optimized for developers / technical documentation. It searches the web and tries to aggregate results from multiple web sites.

cik 3y ago
+10 for phind. It's the only GPT tool I find that works well - for me currently.
cnity 3y ago
For me, the beauty of Phind is that it will wade through the ad ridden web 3.0 hellscape to get an answer for me in plain text. I am not sure exactly how much of that process is to do with the language model per se. Probably basic vector store distance measures and traditional indexing paired with text extraction would do the job "just as well". I don't really need the natural language spin on top (I think).
oefrha 3y ago
Yeah, Phind has replaced Google for half of my searches. My only small complaint is reliability — occasionally I get “inference service not available” (paraphrased) and have to regenerate once or more.
unshavedyak 3y ago
I wish Phind would "autoGPT" a bit more, though. It often feels like Phind just grabs the top X results and makes a reply from those. If i was searching and those results came up i'd often skip them. Strangely i use ChatGPT4 every day but am using Phind less and less. When i have something to search the web for, Kagi is faster for me. When i want to search GPT4 (thoughts/whatever) ChatGPT is faster for me. Phind is cool, but kinda feeling like the worse version of each.. if that makes sense.

  It doesn't just pick the top result though. I was given an answer from SO that wasn't the top voted and not the "approved" answer, either. But it was, imo, the best answer it could've given me. I was pleasantly surprised.

- rkangel 3y ago
  Significance is obviously subjective, but you can definitely make an argument that "major world power is trying to take over a country" is significant. It's been going on for a while which makes it harder to feel like it's so important, but it really is.
  - yakhinvadim 3y ago
    Hey, author here. That was the initial idea. Significant events don't stop being significant once we get tired of hearing about them. But there's definitely a problem of duplicates. When separate news sites post about a similar event it get rated relatively similar by ChatGPT, which creates clusters like we see today. I want to solve this soon by combining similar stories into single block with one title.

Interesting. Is there a way to shape it to topics you care about? It's all about Sudan and Ukraine, which while globally important I'm much more interested in local (Australian) news / tech news.

  I'm not a paid user (yet?), but it seems on the pricing page that you can pay $10/mo for shaping topics to your prefs.
- yakhinvadim 3y ago
  Hey, author here. Yeah, the initial idea was to uncover globally significant news, but a lot of people are asking for ways to find "locally important" or "industry important" news. So I'm shifting my direction a little bit. It's currently possible to filter news by broad category in a paid version (health, science, tech). I plan to expand the list of categories, so it's possible to go deeper. I also plan to add news in other languages (translated) and add country filters, so it's possible to see only news related to individual country/region.

    Thanks for building this! One thing I'd love is for there to be fewer duplicates. The top 6 stories at the moment are duplicates of a single story: 7.7 - Russia launches intense air attack on Kyiv, Ukraine claims to have shot down all 18 missiles. 7.1 - Series of explosions heard in Kyiv as Russia attacks. 7.1 - Massive Russian missile strike hits Kyiv in attempt to destroy Ukraine's new air defence systems. 6.9 - Kyiv targeted by dense Russian missile and drone attack. 6.9 - Russian drones and ballistic missiles attack Ukraine's capital after President Zelensky secures new arms pledges. 6.9 - Russia launches intense air attack on Kyiv with drones, cruise missiles, and possible ballistic missiles.

You're using a language model to give retail investors that don't know any better financial advice? This is a horrendous idea that will probably get you sued if you act like it's an investment strategy. Financial advice, like legal advice, is not something you can trust an AI to give out as if it's complete advice. There's a reason you need a license for this.
messe 3y ago
Oh wow. Every sentence in your comment just makes it progressively worse. What you’re creating is outright dangerous if not actively malicious. You’re targeting inexperienced retail investors, and giving them financial advice that you’ve pulled out of an LLMs arse. Somebody is going to get hurt, and you are without going to get sued over it. It’s not an if, but when. EDIT: s/ u/ i/
- greggsy 3y ago
  I’m sure they have a ‘this is not financial advice’ notice, which is likely to be about as effective as those offered by the finfluencers currently being targeted by the Australian Tax Office.
  - messe 3y ago
    I'd have a bit more (still not much) sympathy for them if they hadn't said they're actively targeting inexperienced investors. That's just inevitably going to fuck someone over. And yeah, a notice like that is about as valid as a warranty-void-if-removed sticker. I took a look at their site, and it seems like they're pushing NFTs as well, and although their site doesn't seem to mention blockchain, their investor pitch deck does seem to. So many red flags. It's times like these I think that maybe software engineers should need to be professionally licensed.

fyi, he self-identified as GPT-3, and did not seem to be "aware" that he was specialized in science, but in "a wide range of topics". Edit: and I strongly suggest you create a "Delete your account" page or at least a way to contact the person responsible to do it :).
- oersted 3y ago
  There's not a even a logout button yet :) Noted, you are right. Yes interestingly GPT-4 identifies as GPT-3, and you need to be quite explicit about asking it to search for the answer in papers (see collapsed prompt). But it is excellent at using the content of papers to ground itself, it is really hard to make it hallucinate or provide evidence for scientifically incorrect claims. And it is so much faster than searching for whole papers and reading through them. We are focusing on the core value of giving it access to scientific knowledge right now, but we are working hard to mature everything surrounding it too.

Just ChatGPT itself. It’s my therapist, stackoverflow, Wikipedia, and many other things. Best $20/month I’ve ever spent. I’m skeptical of most prompt-based tools. I’d rather just get to the source and tweak ChatGPT to talk about exactly what I want.

softwaredoug 3y ago
I see chat very similarly to how I see spreadsheets - a computing paradigm for non programmers. As such they provide a very specific abstraction for broad range of tasks. The moat for most prompt based tools is very small. These tools are similar to the moat of a spreadsheet template. At the end of the day whether it’s a spreadsheet to track my mortgage or a tailored prompt, I typically want to fine tune it for just me.
muzani 3y ago
I still use the "vanilla" stuff. GPT-4 has been superior to Phind in my experience, especially on technical questions. And the web browsing beta closes all the holes remaining. Downside is speed, but it's a fire and forget thing. I tried AutoGPT and the like, but found the self-iteration not very helpful when tackling real world problems. GPT-4 gives enough step-by-step instructions to do anything I need it to do, without it being wired into my file system. Prompt engineering seems to be a thing of the past with GPT-4 too, though you still need to give context, which "prompt engineering tools" don't help with. Plugins are also pretty powerful. It seems to hallucinate a lot with Zapier, but it's still the best tool by far.
- softwaredoug 3y ago
  Agree on AutoGPT. It’s more useful for me to share what happened and ask follow up questions. Also sometimes it simply is bad at something, and putting it in an AutoGPT loop just makes things more confusing :). At that point I just use google.

Each change is automatically committed to git with a descriptive commit message. https://paul-gauthier.github.io/aider/ https://paul-gauthier.github.io/aider/ It helps to look at some chat transcripts, to get a sense of what it's like to actually code with GPT: https://paul-gauthier.github.io/aider/examples/ https://paul-gauthier.github.io/aider/examples/

Nice solution with the search and replace blocks to edit code. I spent quite awhile trying to get regular patch files for stuff to work consistently. Then I switched to having it use sed which was better but still not totally consistent. Can you add a license?
- anotherpaulg 3y ago
  I just added Apache 2.0. Thanks for the reminder, I've been meaning to add a license. I tried `sed` as well, every variant of `diff` output, various json structured formats, etc. The edit block syntax I chose is modeled after the conflict resolution markup you get from a failed `git merge`. I find it's very helpful to ask GPT to output in a format that is already in popular use. It has probably seen plenty of examples in its training data. Asking GPT to output edits really only works ~reliably in GPT-4. Even then, my parser has to be permissive and go with the flow. GPT-3.5 was a lost cause for outputting any editing syntax -- it only worked reliably by outputting the entire modified source file. Which was slow and wasted the small context window. Both 3.5 and 4 seem to be able to think more clearly about the actual coding task when you allow them to use an output format they're comfortable with. If you require them to output a bespoke format, or try too hard to ask for "minimal" edits... the quality of the actual code changes suffers. The models are used to seeing uninterrupted blocks of code in plain text, and so they seem to do best if you choose an output format that embraces that.

shell_gpt is pretty neat just in terms of having ChatGPT up and running in your console very quickly, and being able to customize the role.

I am using ChatGPT to convert some very brittle tidyverse (R) code into base R, and it’s outstanding. I could finally learn (and then try to remember) all of R’s conventions but it’s a lot more pleasurable to have the chatbot actually do the converting from ideas into code. The context is that I am someone who codes in intense bursts every few months, so a lot of the details never really transition from short-term to long-term memory. ChatGPT is perfect for this.

Am I the only one who isn't using ChatGPT on a regular basis? Though I've made a few attempts to use it, generally I already know the answers to most trivial questions. And by going into more complex questions and scenarios, it becomes apparent that ChatGPT lacks a deep understanding of the suggestions it provides. It turns out to be a pretty frustrating experience. Also I've noticed that by the time I've crafted intricate prompts, I could have easily skimmed through a few pages of official docs and found a solution. That said, considering the widespread buzz surrounding ChatGPT, it's entirely possible that I may simply be using it incorrectly.

Could you provide an example prompt illustrating the general types of questions that you are asking, with which it seems to struggle?
- sgt 3y ago
  It's been a few weeks ago, but I recall asking ChatGPT about models in Django, which on the surface it often gets perfect. However, when I asked that the model in question needs to be unmanaged and backed by a SQL view (which I pasted), which had previously been applied from a migration script, it became pretty obvious that ChatGPT is just putting together sentences that are highly likely to be true, but not really understanding the architecture of Django. So that's one example - and it's not even a particularly complex scenario.

My favorite thing to use ChatGPT for is a personal tutor. I've been able, for my own intellectual interest, to educate myself about some topics in math and CS that have so far eluded me. The descriptions it generates are better than anything I've found elsewhere and if it's not clear I can say things like "explain the above for an audience with a background in computer programming" and it will re-attempt the explanation. Rather ironically I'm using ChatGPT to teach me about AI, explaining concepts like tensors and attention layers. It's a great way to make sure I'm in good with Roko's Basilisk since my AI-generated immortal soul will be able to cite my ChatGPT log as proof that I helped bring the Basilisk into existence.

I have been using LLMs to automatically repair security vulnerabilities. I have a set of tools which build prompts describing the environment and the output of vulnerability scans. The tool then requests a shell script to disable/fix/update the vulnerability. The script is submitted as a PR which has actions that run integration tests. Human intervention is sometimes needed, but the focus is on better engineering of prompts (and by proxy tooling). Describing the environment relies heavily on a CMDB, so this is not a one-size-fits-all approach and this is functioning entirely in my personal lab of ~100 servers. That said, ChatGPT has given me the best results compared to locally run LLMs

Havana summarizes my sales calls and drafts a follow-up email automatically after each call. https://tryhavana.com https://tryhavana.com When you do more than 5-10 sales calls a week, writing up notes and emails can take hours of your time. It's tedious work but also must be done (otherwise you might forget what's going on in a deal when it's time to do another call down the line!). Also, the quality of the summaries and emails must be good (clear, readable) but not necessarily great (we're not looking to win a Pulitzer here). It's the perfect kind of task for GPT.

DankGPT is able to draw context from a library of documents (textbook, papers, class slides) to explain any topic and answer complicated reasoning problems. It’s very similar to ChatPDF, but you can include multiple documents and it has much better context selection. This leads to better answers in practice (less “the source does not contain information on…” and hallucinations) https://dankgpt.com https://dankgpt.com

3.5 does indeed suck. 4 is good but you still need to use it properly

I am dogfooding the tool I made for cold emails cold Nureply. Basically it helps me to do marketing for Nureply by using Nureply. I am mostly a technical person and not the best for selling/marketing. So I built Nureply to help me meet with potential customers and learn from them directly. Take a look at here -> https://nureply.com https://nureply.com

Definitely Notion-AI (technology powered by OpenAI). It replaces other tools, including Writesonic, Wordtune, etc. Additionally, OpenAI Chat is a useful tool for day-to-day tasks.

Not using AI tools too much at the moment, but probably ChatGPT is my number 1 tool right now. Playing around with the OpenAI API at the moment to launch some of my own micro projects soon though.

I have been using it as a code companion getting it to do some dirty work that I would have had to ask Google and wade through results and find a "similar example to what I'm trying to achieve, then having to apply it to my situation. Instead I can describe my precise situation to ChatGTP and get something that is almost 95% ready to plug in straight to my code. I will give an example. I work on asp.net, heavy sql backend application. Sometimes while I am working on a big task, I skip a few things as I develop and hone in on my ultimate solution. Then I go back and tidy things up. I would sometimes mock data that I would have had to write onto real sql tables into temporary tables and at the end, I would go and turn those temp tables into real tables. ChatGPT has been very good at say turning those temporary (staging) work into real work e.g. Hey ChatGTP, here's my settings table which I have defined as a temporary table, can you write me a script that turns this into the real table, and another script for the data import script e.g. Hey chatGTP, I need to output this xml from this sql, can you have a go at turning this into something like this, here's the table schema I'm working with

My use case as well. Job requires us to be very careful about what info we give it so most of the time is spent crafting plausible but anonymized example inputs though.

I've been using a tool that I've been developing myself (with GPT assitance lol) to basically monitor issues in a list of Github repositories, make the requested changes, and open a pull request to close the issue. It can also monitor comments on a pull request, and classify them as "question" (respond with answer) or "request" (update PR with requested changes and respond with additional info). It's not perfect but it's at a point now where it is allowing me to make significant progress on personal projects that I would not otherwise have time to do. I already sit in front of a computer at work all day. I want to minimize doing that outside of work, but I still have lots of code projects I want to do on the side. Main repo: https://github.com/mobyvb/pull-pal https://github.com/mobyvb/pull-pal Examples: - Drafting an action plan and coming up with open questions based on specific requirements (issue: https://github.com/mobyvb/download-simulator-2023/issues/1 https://github.com/mobyvb/download-simulator-2023/issues/1, PR created by bot: https://github.com/mobyvb/download-simulator-2023/pull/2/files https://github.com/mobyvb/download-simulator-2023/pull/2/fil...) - See also asking the bot to write code based on a step in the generated action plan: https://github.com/mobyvb/download-simulator-2023/issues/3 https://github.com/mobyvb/download-simulator-2023/issues/3 and PR https://github.com/mobyvb/download-simulator-2023/pull/4 https://github.com/mobyvb/download-simulator-2023/pull/4. In this PR, pay attention to the comments I left; the bot takes feedback from the comments and will update the code accordingly, allowing you to iterate on a single PR before merging code - Basic updates to existing HTML file (issue: https://github.com/mobyvb/pull-pal/issues/4 https://github.com/mobyvb/pull-pal/issues/4, PR: https://github.com/mobyvb/pull-pal/pull/5/files https://github.com/mobyvb/pull-pal/pull/5/files) - Writing an Arduino script from scratch based on specific requirements (issue: https://github.com/mobyvb/midi-looper/issues/1 https://github.com/mobyvb/midi-looper/issues/1, PR: https://github.com/mobyvb/midi-looper/pull/2/files https://github.com/mobyvb/midi-looper/pull/2/files) Still lots of improvement to go but I'm having a lot of fun. Exposition if you want: My experience using GPT4 for programming has been pretty fun. First I was experimenting with prompts like "Given <this code>, how do I accomplish <this task>?" I have been discovering things about what types of tasks it's particularly good at (generating action plans, breaking tasks down into subtasks, writing simple-ish code). The code is usually stuff I could figure out myself, but it's still (sometimes) more efficient than me trying to write it, then do some google searching, update it, etc... The chat format also makes iterative improvement fairly easy, e.g. "you forgot to use <some variable>" or "please add comments explaining what the code does" or "replace this text in the html with some generated content about a digital assistant tool" I'm a manager and team lead so I find myself writing a lot of tickets based on high-level product requirements for my team to work on. Because I am very familiar with the code base, I often provide a lot of technical detail, e.g. providing links to specific files, functions, and PRs relevant to the issue. I found that prompting GPT4 with a similar level of detail resulted in success. However, it was still really good at more general tasks. An example of a task that GPT performs pretty well at: "write an index.html landing page with a content section that is vertically and horizontally centered using flexbox. In the content section, generate a heading and paragraph talking about an AI-powered digital assistant for programmers. Add some basic styling to the page, with soft colors. The font of the heading and paragraph should be different. Serve index.html from a main.go file on port 8080. Also add an endpoint to the server at POST /api/number which returns a random integer between 14 and 37. In index.html, add a button that calls this endpoint and displays the number on the page" (GPT4 can handle this prompt easily with no errors in the code; GPT3 will struggle, so it needs to be broken down more) I could do all of the stuff in that example myself. But so can AI. I prefer to write out what I want and get some code that's usually 90%-100% perfect, make some slight modifications, maybe ask for some different color options, etc.. Point is, that's probably 30 mins saved for the same end result (honestly, better, considering my design skills are nonexistent). I work a lot with Github repos already, so it was straightforward to me to replace the ChatGPT interface with a "Github interface" which I'm already familiar with and like (open issue, reference issue from PR, merge PR, issue auto closed). I also like being able to iterate on a "pending" change in a PR by leaving comments before merge. Also, I can do it from my phone! To see the specific prompts this tool is using as the foundation (at the moment), see * https://github.com/mobyvb/pull-pal/blob/main/llm/prompts/code-change-request.tmpl https://github.com/mobyvb/pull-pal/blob/main/llm/prompts/cod... * https://github.com/mobyvb/pull-pal/blob/main/llm/prompts/comment-diff-request.tmpl https://github.com/mobyvb/pull-pal/blob/main/llm/prompts/com... If you have read this far, I hope it sounds interesting to you. The tool is GPL licensed, and I would love if other people tried it out so that I can get feedback on the best improvements to make/bugs to fix.

TranscribeMe is my favourite (https://transcribeme.app); https://transcribeme.app); it transcribes voice notes from WhatsApp and Telegram. Not only that, if you have a long voice note, the bot summarizes it with an AI. You can also add ChatGPT to those message apps
