What's so new about chatgpt and the rest anyways? We've had chat ai for a long time. This is no different from Tay.

Its overhyped for sure, though it can actually perform some tasks as well as some of the idiot humans that are currently getting paid for them, so I think this will have real economic consequences, unlike Tay

    I prefer a search engine, I don't think that is the application for it. You'll see it replace the drive thru person, customer service representatives and such. Its also getting surpirsingly good at generating computer code

      You asked whats different, the difference is this time its just good enough that its going to be used in the real world. Wendy's drive thru workers can barely speak english, I'm sure ChatGPT can handle it, and wont even call anyone a nigger like Tay. I'd also rather talk to ChatGPT than some Indian at a call center with an accent so thick I can't understand him, I'm pretty sure that will be next

      Speaking of Indian call centers, scammers are allegedly using AI for kidnapping scams.

      Soon enough, real-time deepfakes will be used. Imagine, instead of a prankster calling into a radio show impersonating a famous person, AI is used for Zoom calls or telecommuting or teleconferencing. You could have your very own VR AI bot handling your daily tasks while you're at the lake. Maybe not doing your job, but tricking your boss into thinking you're on the job.

      Much larger training models and better sorting.

        Pretty much. It seems to be better in some ways than search, but I think the hype might be a bit "metaverse".

        It is a limited hangout, to give a small taste to the public, so people warm up to the concept which has been used to totally take over politics, erase democracy, control public discourse, and mold society into subservient cattle a couple decades ago.
