  Exactly lol, it’s basically just a better cleverbot

      It’s actually insane that there are huge chunks of people expecting AGI anytime soon because of a CHATBOT. Just goes to show these people have 0 understanding of anything. AGI is more like 30+ years away minimum, Andrew Ng thinks 30-50 years. I would say 35-55 years.

        At this point, if people keep cheerfully piling into dead ends like LLMs and pretending they’re AI, we’ll never have AGI. The idea of throwing ever more compute at LLMs is “expect nine women to make one baby in a month” levels of stupid.

        AGI is the new Nuclear Fusion. It will always be 30 years away.

      It’s really useful for programming. It’s not always right but it has good approaches and you can ask it to write tedious parts of your code like long switch statements. Most of my programming problems were solved because I just explained the problem like Rubber Duck Debugging.

        Depends on what you mean by “programming”.

        If you mean it like the neighboring comment, who is probably a mathematician or physicist who just needs to feed it a science paper and run some models to verify the premise, but doesn’t care about the code itself, it’s a good tool. They aren’t programmers and learning programming or using a programmer would only delay them.

        If you’re a professional programmer however your whole point is to create the most efficient specifications for the computer to do things. You cannot convey 100% of the spec to something like GPT so inevitably some is lost, so the end result is not the most efficient (or doesn’t even cover everything you needed).

        You can of course use it to get a head start but there are also boilerplate and templating tools and frameworks that cover the same purpose.

        Unlike the physicist, the code you make is the whole point, and it’s based in your knowledge of the subject matter, and you can’t replace it with GPT. Also, using GPT in this manner stunts your professional growth and damages you long term.

        It would be somewhat worth it if at least it accelerated some part of your work, and it can find its way into the tooling, but straight out replacing your brain with it ain’t it.

        For writing actual code and designing software it’s more trouble than it’s worth, it produces half-assed code that needs fixing.

        TLDR figure out ASAP if you really mean to be a programmer or some other type of specialist that only deals with programming incidentally.

      My two use cases are project brainstorming and boilerplate code, which saves a lot of time for me.

      I use it for programming questions.

      • immediate replies so I don’t have to switch tasks while praying for an answer

      • no suggestions that I just do the whole thing differently

      • infinite patience

        Don’t forget the other benefits of using AI for programming:

        • It may make up shit that doesn’t exist or just give you wrong syntax

        • It will give you the same wrong answer repeatedly until you get irritated and it hangs up on you

        • Is way too goddamned excited while giving you shit answers until you run out of patience

        I like using it for help, but goddamn do I want to throw my laptop out the window some days.

  Tbh i think it’s a real possibility that OpenAI knows they can’t meet people’s expectations with GPT-5 , so they’re posting articles like this, and basically trying to throw out anything they can and see what sticks.

  I think if GPT-5 doesn’t pan out, it’s time to accept that things have slowed down, and that the hype cycle is over. This very well could mean another AI winter
