What’s your point? Because I can’t imagine it’s to suggest that GPT4 doesn’t do anything useful.

- bamboozled 3y agoTheir point is, we’ve been here before.
- stavros 3y agoIn the way a Lamborghini and an oxcart are both "here".
- steveoscaro 3y agoNot really
- Nullabillity 3y agoThe usual "use cases" mentioned usually seem to boil down to: - Acting as a lossy text decompressor (harmful) - Acting as a lossy text compressor (mostly trying and failing to undo the damage from above) - Acting as an outright bullshit generator (harmful) - Acting as a poor substitute for a search engine with a propensity for trying to bullshit you (harmful) - Acting as a poor substitute for a parser (which, even if it worked would be dumb because it doesn't understand structured output, so now you have two parsing problems) - Generating broken and/or extremely poorly factored code (harmful) - Hiding plagiarism (harmful) GPT (and the AI hype in general) is the wrong solution to the wrong problem. Look at the effort that Google wasted on Duplex instead of OpenTable.
- steveoscaro 3y agoThat's all very knowledgable-sounding, but in reality, lots of people are using GPT every day for legitimately helpful and productive things.
- Nullabillity 3y agoAre you going to bring any counterexamples or keep assuming that someone… somewhere… must surely have found an actual use case for this garbage?
