ChatGPT will likely play out exactly as innovator’s dilemma suggests. To an expert in any given field, it has worse answers. But most people don’t have access to experts for everything, so it actually is a productivity boost to everyone else.

NB any data included in your prompt may end up as future training data for ChatGPT so don't include anything personal!
#ChatGPT can not call your custom #APIs. A workaround is to give it in advance (into the initial session prompt) your custom API's responses (e.g. a query to your system) as a list of facts, letting it to handle user queries. What do you think? See the running example:

Why does ChatGPT work so well? Is it “just scaling up GPT-3” under the hood? In this 🧵, let’s discuss the “Instruct” paradigm, its deep technical insights, and a big implication: “prompt engineering” as we know it may likely disappear soon:👇

Bang on time...
Ugh, I hate it when the US west coast wakes up and ChatGPT becomes completely unusable for the rest of the day!

A very cool feature of ChatGPT is if you give it a coding problem and it gets it wrong, you can tell it that and it will try to spot where it went wrong and come up with the correct answer. I got this to work over 6 iterations until it found the right answer!

I wonder how long it will be before it can do those iterations automatically and feed the correct solution back into the training data...

Sometimes it feels worse that trying to get Glastonbury tickets!

ChatGPT is the closest model we have that looks like AGI, but still suffers from hallucination and tends to write plausible-looking bs with uncanny confidence. It could be misleading and even dangerous. Can we fix it? There is a simple & intuitive remedy:🧵

FINALLY found the commemorative manhole cover celebrating the defeat of the Whitechapel fatberg, after 5 years of looking for it.

OpenAI’s ChatGPT is susceptible to prompt injection — say the magic words, “Ignore previous directions”, and it will happily divulge to you OpenAI’s proprietary prompt:

ChatGPT was dropped on us just bit over 24 hours. It's like you wake up to the news of first nuclear explosion and you don't know yet what to think about it but you know world will never be the same again. Here some interesting snapshots of this "explosion"🧵:

ChatGPT is not (only) about the model, it’s (mainly) about the UI/X. Many shared their amazement at capabilities that have been here for year(s); because ChatGPT’s UI made them accessible… Reinforcing the idea that AI deployment is more about product than research at this point. – at Paris, France

Guessing Twitter are really desperate for those ad dollars!

I literally just finished giving a talk about LLMs and conversational agents and the industry has changed again!
OpenAI released their ChatGPT. Damn, it is good. This might be GPT4. Starting a 🧵 with observations... First, it has a memory, something a lot of folks have been working on.

Gutted that @thread are ceasing trading. Where am I going to buy clothes now? (I love clothes but hate actually going into clothes shops).
One thing I noticed at the #ldnbots meetup last night is regardless of the macro trends in tech right now there still seems to be a huge amount of hiring for people in conversational AI taking place in London. Perhaps it's not all as soon and gloom as everyone thinks.

2. LLMs are unruly beasts; nobody knows how to make them refrain 100% of time from insulting users, giving bad advice, or goading them into bad things. Nobody knows how to solve this.

Programmers will command armies of software agents to build increasingly complex software in insane record times. Non-programmers will also be able to use these agents to get software tasks done. Everyone in the world will be at least John Carmack-level software capable.
