In my experience ChatGPT does reasoning extraordinarily well. The biggest key is that it can explain its thinking clearly. I may or may not agree what it's saying, or it could be outright wrong. But as long as I can see the "step

This is the essence of GPT. It perfectly captures style, but not substance. I naturally read the jokes in Jimmy Fallon's voice, before knowing it was fine-tuned. It really takes talent like his to pull off jokes like this every night.

250 ideas is incredible. if only 1% of them grow to have ~$1MM in value (or anything close), you should have two or three real winners by now. If only by pure chance. I'm really curious about how that's going. I can't quite s

This approach also has limitations. Namely, your ability to retrieve information is limited by your ability to search for snippets using embeddings. This could be solved with using different search methodologies, using multiple gpt requests

Isn't this a chat interface to various apis? I guess that's the point. But it doesn't seem like that is utilizing the power of large language models. Maybe I'm not understanding this. Using a Google search api + a calcul

This is a separate issue from ChatGPT, but I'm very glad that OpenAI's GPT-3 api is fairly woke and I hope they work to keep it that way. I'm about to use the davinci model api in production and the LAST thing I want is for s

I think what some people are missing is that the alternative to GPT therapy is often nothing. If I have a problem rattling around in my head at 2 am, I can't easily talk to a therapist. And the problem would have to be pretty serious f

I'm working on something similar right now. best bet for something as open ended as therapy would be to use embeddings to compare your most recent post to past posts, and then use text snippets or a summary of similar posts as part of

It doesn't work like that. The term "fine tuning" is very misleading and I see people misunderstanding it all the time. Props to you for looking into the details. In this sense, GPT fine tuning is really geared toward questio

I'm sorry, but this point is trite and incorrect. Humans can manipulate concepts and compare them to other ideas. Which is why we're able to fact check and cite sources, where language models cannot. It's true that I'm j
