AI Takeover - Exploring ChatGPT
From Avocado Chairs to Writing Code - It's the fastest-growing AI system to date and we're still early...
1 Million users in just five days.
OpenAI - has blown my mind too many ways to count at this point. I know nothing about AI but I’m beginning to grok how impactful this technology will be.
This AI technology either can or very soon will be able to
Write computer code & build websites
Replace search engines (or how we use them)
Replace customer service
Write books and produce movies & TV series
Do your taxes
Replace tutors and teachers
AI will do the above tasks in a fraction of the time and at a fraction of the cost of humans. We’re talking traveling on foot vs traveling by jet. This is a zero to one moment.
Dr.Eli David did a great job of highlighting one of the subtle but very important ways ChatGPT will impact everyone's life.
Google search:
1. Ask a question
2. Get a list of pages
3. Read several of them
4. Put the pieces together to get the answer
ChatGPT:
1. Ask a question
2. Get the answer
I think people underestimate this defining moment which is no less dramatic than the invention of the internet.
Intro to AI
You’ve probably seen screenshots from ChatGPT filling up your twitter timeline.
ChatGPT: Optimizing Language Models for Dialogue
We’ve trained a model called ChatGPT which interacts in a conversational way. The dialogue format makes it possible for ChatGPT to answer followup questions, admit its mistakes, challenge incorrect premises, and reject inappropriate requests. ChatGPT is a sibling model to InstructGPT, which is trained to follow an instruction in a prompt and provide a detailed response.

Earlier this year art from DALL-E likely flooded your timelines (and you probably still see it from time to time).
DALL·E: Creating
Images from Text
We’ve trained a neural network called DALL·E that creates images from text captions for a wide range of concepts expressible in natural language.

AI to make AI more effective
The idea of using AI to make AI more effective was something I had never considered before stumbling upon a few twitter threads.
In one such thread a BTC maxi was looking to create a Bitcoin logo on a roman denarius with DALL-E.
But then decided to create a more accurate version by asking ChatGPT to write the prompt for DALL-E.
Here’s the full prompt it created.
At first this may not seem earth shattering, but I’d argue in the majority of cases existing technology can answer or solve a lot of our problems, but what often holds back the average person is using the technology effectively. Using AI to make humans more effective at using AI (or other technology) is the sort of thing that can pull luddites into the future and increase productivity at a level that would make the industrial revolution or the internet blush with modesty.
AI Writing Code
I remember when I first learned about wysiwyg website editors that allowed basic internet users to build beautiful websites.
The following tweet and it’s replies sent me down another rabbit hole.
Another user responded and highlighted how in 30 minutes as a beginner programmer they were able to code an app in HTML, CSS and Javascript.
Another user used ChatGPT to code a smart contract and recorded it working in real time.
Talking to AI is the new Superpower
It would seem at this point in time, OpenAI is limited more by the human inputs and ability to accurately describe the task you wish AI to undertake than it is by any technological limitations.
Think of the first typewriters - they could be used 24 hours a day 7 days a week, but it was the human user's limitations that held it back from full and optimal utilization. A new user would be unfamiliar with the key layout and was incapable of working around the clock on the machine.
I think we should all be spending more time thinking about how to get the most out of AI and how to more effectively utilize it.
How will you make the most of OpenAI and future AI advancements?
