Yes. There's still a lot of people who aren't that aware of this stuff, and frankly, its because it still doesn't have much practical use.
Its making headlines left and right, and businesses are all trying to figure out what this stuff does, but if you're not watching much news and not in the tech side of business you probably don't know or care?
- electrondood 3y agoIt has unbelievable practical use. ChatGPT is a personal tutor on any subject you can think of. It's more that 90% of people can't even be bothered to google the answer to a question they have, despite having a personal computer and oracle in their front pocket. I'm using an LLM to teach me interactively how LLMs work and how to integrate LLMs into our products. It's replaced 90% of my googling/stack overflow. Every engineer in our company is using Copilot and ChatGPT to write software.
- sp332 3y agoHow can it replace 90% of your Googling if you have to go check everything it tells you afterward?
- ImAnAmateur 3y agoOur blind spot in vetting information is kind of like our blind spot when looking for something we have lost. We don't double check what we are sure of. To me, that is the most serious challenge when trying to learn using LLMs.
- solardev 3y agoIt's not like Googling typically gives you truthful answers either.
- captainbland 3y agoThe difference to me is that with search you can explicitly search only in trusted sources (with e.g. site:...) if you choose to and you get transparency about where the data is coming from. New Bing is a slight improvement in that you get some transparency about where it's getting information from and can tell it to prioritise accuracy, but can't actually explicitly tell it to use a subset of the web that you personally trust.
- Eji1700 3y agoI have yet to see someone apply ChatGPT or other LLM in this way and not regret it or ditch it later. Honestly i'm more worried about the ones who will use it this way and assume it's always correct. It is too often incorrect for anything I've ever done with it.
- usrbinbash 3y ago> i'm more worried about the ones who will use it this way and assume it's always correct There are plenty of folks who don't fall into this trap. Example: Me. I am fully aware that LLM generated code can be wrong or worse, contain disastrous errors. But being aware of that, and looking for the things I know from experience it commonly gets wrong, allows me to use it as an incredibly powerful tool in my workflow.
- ChatGTP 3y agoI guess it’s a matter of taste, I’d find that fucking horrible.
- usrbinbash 3y agoWhy would that be any more horrible than handing routine tasks and boilerplate to a junior and having to review his PR? With the junior, I need a meeting. With the LLM, I just let it redo.
