I can't agree with the dismissiveness of this comment, and frankly I find its tone out of line and not with the spirit of Hacker News. There are insights that can come from studying the brain, that do indeed apply. Some researchers may

Personally I think DALL-E does better quality, especially at photorealistic stuff. Here's a few of mine, many photorealistic. https://www.karmatics.com/stuff/dalle.html

This one, to me, could be mistaken for not only an actual photo of a dog, but my own dog. (aside from the cyborg implant, which is a bit of a giveaway :) ) https://www.karmatics.com/stuff/cyborgdog.jpg I didn't ev

I don't tend to get plastic-y images. I think DALL-Es images are less plastic looking than either typical CG movies (even Pixar) or Midjourney. Do you consider these plastic looking? https://www.karmatics.com/stuff&#x2F

It seems to me that I can get most any look and feel I want. Most of the ones other people post seem to have a very different look and feel to my own. That said, you can sort of get a default look and feel if you just give a short prompt, a

"I assert the entire "hallucination" phenomenon is a side effect of these practices. When ChatGPT makes up a fake fact with fake sources to back it up, it's largely because such lies are rated very highly by the underpai

Most jobs I've known factor in both. I would assume they have processes in place that incentivize quality. Some it is as simple as you have a manager that will fire you if you produce crap. With billions in funding, and bad results cau

"In short, they're paying contract workers for quantity, not quality;" How do you know this? Just taking a wild guess, but I'd think a company with billions of funding, and a ton of people trying to find flaws in what th

Read the last paragraph. You still have humans, but their input is more akin to a movie reviewer than a movie director/writer/actor/etc. It still takes skill, but it takes a lot less time. RLHF typically employees humans, and

You're right, but they can give it an incentive to communicate that, that should be pretty easy. Right now it would be pretty easy to simply take ChatGPT output, feed it back in in a different thread (or even to a different model, such

Oh sorry you said Google. Yes I am speaking of ChatGPT, and I pay for GPT-4. It surprises and delights me on a regular basis. I have no doubt Google will catch up, but right now I think OpenAI is far out front.

AlphaZero demonstrates that more human-generated data isn't the only thing that makes an AI smarter. It uses zero human data to learn to play Go, and just iterates. As long as it has a way of scoring itself objectively (which it obviou

I've had very different results. ChatGPT today is like a backhoe compared to a team of human with shovels. You still need a person who knows how to operate it, and their skills are different from those who dig with shovels. A bad backh

Nothing to be ashamed of, I'd be disappointed if he thought that zoom was perfect as is. There's probably a lot of things that can be done to the product to change that.

I live in SF and saw at least twenty driverless Cruise vehicles today while walking around the Mission. It's really quite sudden to see so many, really I've just noticed in the last week or so. My daughter asked me yesterday &quot

Just thought I'd post a quick reminder, I'd be very interested in seeing what you mean by the ChatGPT example being a "sadly bland example of what some people consider meaningful." I don't understand what that mean

No, but if the AI is good enough, you can say things like "write in a non-formal style" and it will do just that. Whether or not ChatGPT can do this well 6 months from its launch isn't the point. Right now ChatGPT tends to wr

Well, I guess the difference it that it didn't write it for you, it wrote it for me. And it was exactly what I needed to hear. And exactly not what humans that I talked about the situation to were providing, who tended to be all abou

Likewise, thanks for scoring a point for humanity. :) It's rare to get someone on the internet to appreciate a counterpoint. Yes it probably helps that I didn't ask it for advice, rather than just kind of talk to it as if it was a

"and I (native speaker) think it sounds over the top sincere and dramatic, especially when the same person tends to talk in a completely different manner." Of course, you can actually tell ChatGPT to change its style and mannerism

You did absolutely nothing wrong. I have similar problems, and used to use selfcontrol when I was primarily a mac user. (I haven't found anything like it for windows, which I now must use for work) Your app seems to be about phones....

The websites and apps mentioned aren't the sort that people would be addicted to anyway. (this should be blindingly obvious) In fact their very purpose is addressing the problem of web site addiction. Are you suggesting that people mig

First of all, that isn't simple. How do you determine what is done by humans? If the human is using a computer and using copy and paste does that still qualify? No matter where you draw the line between "done by computers" an
