They're useful for many things, provided the user is aware of their limitations. That's true of any tool or information source.

They expect: - To be paid a lot of money by OpenAI to go away, or - To be paid a lot of money to have a role in vetting future AI products, or - To be paid a lot of money by wealthy individuals in the AI alignment camp, or - To be paid a lo

It's not that people suspect everything might be written by an AI, but that your comment pattern matches many of the qualities of AI-generated writing. It's overly verbose, reads like the introduction of a low-quality blog article

There are studies that show ethicists are no more ethical than the general population. https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/09515089.2012.7... > However, on no issue did ethicists show unequivocall

I assume the review references are false as claimed, but I'm not sure I'd rely on that outdated GPT-2 detector to prove their origin. More recent AI detectors aren't reliable on large chunks of prose; they're likely to b

I think the "good old elitism" is exactly what the alignment folks are expressing. They think only they and large corporations should have these tools, while we, the common folk, should not.

Yes, it's why in longer conversations it might forget what was said earlier in the thread. The token limits still apply.

Yes, but these sites target morons; the sort of people who buy DDoS attacks using identifiable details and IP addresses and pay with traceable payment methods.

No, totally anecdotal and unrepresentative. I played with both for a while and liked the Klavier chats more, so take my opinion with a huge pinch of salt.

Kagi has something similar for search results. You can pick a result and ask questions about it. Although, having played with both for a bit, the results from Klavier seem superior.

It's a rebranded version of an app Apple acquired. Presumably they thought that was a more elegant solution than shoehorning classical into an interface designed for pop music.

It's perfectly reasonable for Western people to use "Classical" as a shorthand for "Western Classical". It's easy enough to apply a modifier if we want to talk about Indian Classical or Persian Classical or wha

But you can do all that with the OpenAI Playground for the chat API, and it supports GPT-4. I don't really see what your service adds to that.

How do you know that you actually understand a topic as well as a doctor? How do you verify that? It's not unusual for people to think they comprehend a topic at expert level, when in fact they do not. The correlation between confidenc

Google Bard has a similar feature, and you can ask the OpenAI API to generate multiple completions and pick the best one (best_of) or return some number of the generated completions (n). In OpenAI's case, best of means "the one wi

I had a script with a huge chunk of spaghetti awk and sed I wrote years ago and couldn’t remember how it worked. I pasted it into ChatGPT and asked it to explain it to me and then make some small edits that changed the output. It did a rema

That's true, except when food starts to run out, the French government will serve the French people, the Spanish government will serve the Spanish people, and so on. You're nuts if you think the Spanish are going to ship food they

The UK still has access to those markets. The problem is not that we can't import goods, but that there are fewer goods to import and they are being sold at higher prices. For example, in January, food inflation in France was 14.8% and

Unfortunately, I think this is a losing battle. They can't scale the number of human readers checking for story quality, and AI can scale almost limitlessly. Automated AI detection simply doesn't work. I've experimented with

Interesting, but it seems it can really only do generic Southwest English and American accents. I asked it for Scottish accent and got English. I asked for an Irish accent and got American.

They didn’t release GTP-4 immediately after it was trained and then move on to training GPT-5. They had 4 for almost 6 months before it was released. 5 was certainly well underway long before we’d heard of 4.

People believe lies, often. That's just an undeniable fact of human nature. AIs can produce lots of plausible lies very quickly, much more quickly and at much greater scale than humans could. There's a quantitative difference that

It matters because LLMs can tell plausible lies at incredible scale: marketing, propaganda, misinformation and disinformation, etc. Understanding whether content is AI generated would be a useful red flag, but we can't. Nor can suppose

Yeah, I mean, Ken McLeod is a decent enough writer, but he's not in the same league as Banks. Can't imagine why I'd want to pay that much for a copy of a Banks book signed by him.

Bing is shitshow of ads and cross-selling. I did a search today where every single result on the first page was an ad. But, I'm getting much better images from Bing Image Creator than I ever did from Dall-e in the OpenAI Labs version.
