What’s the real benefit for human in creating chatGPT?

Risk sounding like a close minded anti-tech grandpa, but remind me again what is the benefit of chatGPT likes for human? It learns how to play soccer from like a toddler to an expert in 2hr, found a new way to play chess after it has been played by human through out history, can write code to attack code that human wrote. Basically it learns any new thing with a “pattern” in an extremely scalable way, and can exhaust any finite problem space. Clearly it does learning, thinking and content generating better than human in unbounded domains. It will be used to replace human’s brain if there is enough money incentives. You can say it’s a tool used by human, human will be freed to do other things. But if human is not needed for our brain, who are we and who is the tool here? And with this risk, what’s the benefit it brings? Faster email writing, learn things faster but still extremely slower comparing to AI that even feels just cute? Educate me if you see a clear win for human to invest in this? And if the benefit is limited in certain field, should the adoption also be limited in certain fields? #meta #amazon #apple References on risks from OpenAI CEO: https://youtu.be/540vzMlf-54

I mean if you give it a bunch of abilities it doesn't have it's basically limitless

Airbnb ygchxbm OP Apr 17, 2023

Which one it doesn’t have?

Google wxGq45 Apr 17, 2023

I would like to like in the world where AI knows about a disease before it starts affecting lives

Airbnb ygchxbm OP Apr 17, 2023

But chatGPT doesn’t do real time data due to the expensive training.

Google reggiepls Apr 17, 2023

"it does learning, thinking ... better than humans" Literally doesn't. Is just very good at guessing what a human would say

Airbnb ygchxbm OP Apr 17, 2023

I listed some examples it does better. It also learns any programming language faster than human. And that is the public version today. Any counter example you have? I’m happy to learn those actually.

Google reggiepls Apr 17, 2023

But it literally doesn't. It's good at figuring out what people way about a programming language

There is no benefit to majority of tech shit

Airbnb ygchxbm OP Apr 18, 2023

I think search has been a great thing, with very little risk to human. Cloud computing also makes many things scalable and cheaper, again with little risk to human.

we’re making fire bro

Airbnb ygchxbm OP Apr 18, 2023

I can see people feeling supportive toward new and powerful tech, but yet no one commented a benefit yet.

What has been done so far with it is enable spammers to drown publishers of fiction to the point that they don’t accept submissions anymore. If you think that it can “learn to write novels” you’re welcome to look at the output.

Airbnb ygchxbm OP Apr 18, 2023

I see this is a point to say the risk is low by showing its capability is very limited now. I don’t have authority to say your point is true or false, but I think that begs the question if you think this will be improved in very near future. If no, then what’s the point again, if yes, then the risk is still there? But more importantly, I’m mostly curious about what’s the real benefit/great application of it? Is your view that at most it’s a thing to make human life slightly better?

Apple Logicielle Apr 18, 2023

Its main benefit is that businesses believe it can cut down on labour. That’s why it sees enthusiastic adoption without regard to anything else. Whether it can improve in the future is completely irrelevant if it doesn’t answer the prayers of those who want to cut labour.
