Moved to the existing thread.

This thing is Insane for Coding. I think it might replace the entire coding market. Coding is incredibly sensitive which means that just one mistake in a 10000 letter code will cause the code to not work anymore. Chat GTP just fixes the problem extremly effectivly. Just type in :"Create a Basic Website with a picture of James Bond in the middle" and it will create it trough a HTML file(you would just need to put in a editor).

How much experience in web design / programming do you have?

I find ChatGPT really useful for a variety of things. But I'm not sure this is the new high-speed avenue for making big money for the majority of us. Maybe I'm plain wrong, but this feels to me like a crypto bull run, with everyone and their grandmothers creating prompts and talking about the topic. One more gold rush, just that this one will be monitored by governments closely before AI gets out of hand. Just look at home many GPT frontends there are out there, probably hundreds, yet only a couple of them make significant money. Survivorship bias?

Kind of disappointed with this GPTs thing. I created one and it was ignoring instructions. It even removed some of the (non-conflicting) features when I instructed to add some new ones. And the actual prompt using the GPT was so slow, over 40 seconds to generate a medium example. Maybe they'll improve it, but so far I'm not impressed at all.

 

[MakeItHappen]

So, do I understand this right? You could create your own business mentor gpt and upload 100 or 1000 books so that the business mentor gpt can use them. This could make the business mentor gpt way better than the normal gpt4 because the normal gpt4 didn't have access to books because of copyright issues?

Depends on a number of factors but most likely you're not setting the context correctly.

Wow this is crazy - I just created my own business mentor GPT based on various business books and models such as CENTS. Now it can evaluate a business idea I have and give very specific feedback... the weird part is, if I would put this GPT public - people could just download the knowledgebase files, violating copyright for sure?

Yes, it's easily possible to reverse engineer. I hope OpenAI addresses this issue in the future.

 

[srodrigo]

Could be. I was also thinking about this as a REST API: first get the scaffolding of the info. Then expand on point by point with extra queries. But this wouldn't work for what I was trying to do (generate travel guides I could turn into a PDF), users would need to wait for too long. Maybe I wasn't setting the context well, but there wasn't that much context apart from "add start time between locations" and things like that.

The other assistant I created was a business idea evaluator based on my work, CENTS, etc., and it seems to do pretty well with that.

Maybe it depends on what we are trying to make then. Anyway, as you say, this is still in beta, it should only improve

 

[uhhfeef]

It looks like GPTs are quite popular:

I've noticed slowness and network issues when using GPT4. Not sure if its related.

Anyone else facing the same issues?

Currently learning. I am ok but I would not give myself a job in that area. But I like GTP to correct wrong code and ask for advises

Yes. Unable to upload pdf's with askyourpdf.

You have quite a software productocracy when (1) you have to tell people you can't accept any more money for a while and (2) no one who has already paid is screaming for a refund when the product fails to perform.

Has anyone used Claude paid version from Anthropic? Is it better or worse than ChatGPT 4 paid version?

 

[loop101]

Wow, impressive. Talk about having the world's knowledge at your fingertips.

What a resource.

If Google uses the content from all the sites it has indexed, people wont need to go to the actual websites. For example, you wouldn't need to go to IMDB to find a movie that two actors were in together, you could just ask Google. IMDB would then get no traffic and no revenue. That would wreak havoc on Adwords.
