I want to emphasize that I'm not really a luddite here. I pay for ChatGPT (well, Kagi Professional), I use it daily, and I do think it's a very valuable learning tool. I even encouraged my students to use it outside of class if they needed help with any of the theory.
I use ChatGPT all the time for learning new stuff, but a) I already know how to program well enough to teach a class on it, and b) it's a supplement to doing stuff on my own, without AI help. I don't feel I learn that much from just copying and pasting.
Totally agree with your process though; correcting and arguing with ChatGPT is an insanely good way to learn stuff. It's really helped me get better at TLA+ and Isabelle proofs.
- dmd 3y agoJust FYI, Kagi's FastGPT is not remotely comparable to GPT4 in quality.
- tombert 3y agoI don't use FastGPT, I just Kagi Professional with the GPT-4 model.
- dmd 3y agoAh ok. I'm on Kagi Family which doesn't have access to that, didn't realize it was an option for Pro!
- tombert 3y agoYeah, they don't advertise it very well. It was actually a pretty good value add for me; I was already paying $10 for Kagi search, and $20 for OpenAI, so the $25 for both actually saved me $5/month. I think you can upgrade to Ultimate at a per-account level for another $15/month. EDIT: Accidentally wrote "pro" when I meant Ultimate.
- dmd 3y agoProbably still not worth it for me; I use gpt4 fairly heavily via API and still my API charges only come to about $5-7 a month.
- auggierose 3y agoDid you write your own tool to query ChatGPT via API, or what are you using?
- dmd 3y agoI use typingmind.
- throwup238 3y agoDo you mean Kagi Ultimate? I was under the impression that the Pro plan didn't have access to GPT4.
- tombert 3y agoYep, I mistyped...I meant ultimate. Edited the comment.
- freediver 3y agoYou can upgrade any family member to Kagi Ultimate plan for $15/mo and it will give you unlimited access to GPT-4, Claude 3 Opus, Gemini 1.5 Pro and other state of the models.
