A pretty good UX improvement for ChatGPT. I think they will fork VScode and make an AI editor later. Although It's confusing for me the OAI seems spend more time on end user product instead of working on AGI.
- dpflan 2y agoWhy is that confusing?
- yumraj 2y agoAGI is a research project. These are revenue generators. Both have a place.
- nmfisher 2y agoIf I genuinely thought I was close to AGI, I’d focus all my efforts on that, then ask it to build my revenue generators. That’s probably what Ilya is doing. (FWIW I don’t think we’re close to AGI).
- noch 2y ago> If I genuinely thought I was close to AGI As a great founder once said: "Work towards your goal, but you must ship intermediate products."
- satvikpendem 2y agoWho said that?
- noch 2y ago> Who said that? George Hotz
- meiraleal 2y agoWhat if close is 5 years close, how would you survive 5 years with the current investment rate/costs?
- famouswaffles 2y agoThat's how you go bankrupt before reaching your goal. "Close" doesn't necessarily mean next week close.
- mijoharas 2y agoWhat if you think the timeframe is accelerated based on the number of ML engineers you hired over a > 5 year timeframe say? If that's the case you need to optimize for hiring more ML engineers so you need revenue to bring in to pay them.
- vasco 2y agoSaying you're close to AGI is a pretty good marketing move to sell consumer products though.
- sanjit 2y agoGreat end user experience is a huge differentiator in my opinion… it’s why I use OpenAI over other products in the market. It’s actually a joy to use. (The responses are generally far better than other products.)
- bamboozled 2y agoHave you tried Claude? I don’t see how it could be much better than that.
- j_maffe 2y agoIt's a chatbot... what UI features that OAI provided that you couldn't find in other providers before? I've found Claude 3.5 to give the better responses in my experience.
- petesergeant 2y agoI really hope VS Code can make API changes such that nobody needs to be forking it for these projects. I tried using Cursor for a few hours but I don’t want a hacked-up VS Code, I just want VS Code.
- torginus 2y agoOpenAI probably employs traditional software engineers as well as a ton of researches. The former are building tools like these, while the latter are conducting research and building new models. Since their skillsets don't overlap that much I don't think if they skipped building products like these, the research would go faster.
