ChatGPT has a verbal IQ (as measured by a commonly used test) of 155, or top 0.1% of the human population. I hear many people right now saying that “we’re at the peak of the AI hype cycle”, implying that expectations will soon be disappointed. This may turn out to be the case but to me this technology looks like nothing we’ve seen before. Even if it doesn’t get any better, the impact on humankind will be profound. (And it will get better.)

Note the typical questions:“Tell me what ‘gadget’ means.”“What is the capital of Ukraine?”“In what way are Harry Potter and Bugs Bunny alike?"“If your TV set catches fire, what should you do?”and arithmetic operationsI guess we could've gotten a similar score from the first result in Google Search (maybe except for the Harry Potter question?). Did we underestimate PageRank's IQ?

But technology at the peak of the hype cycle does get better towards the plateau of productivity, doesn't it?

I'm not convinced that this stuff with LLMs is the main thing to watch.Not as a standalone product. As a front-end interface for a deeper tech stack, that could be amazing.What's really propelling this kind of generative AI is that it's relatively straightforward to implement, the mistakes are non-disastrous and non-experts can interact with it. You just connect the model to a website and an API and off you go.The level of automation it actually provides is very partial though, it's really just one more tool that knowledge workers have to help them do the things they were already doing.The real game-changer that's not that far away will be AI that can interact with the physical world. It's a huge number of repetitive and clearly defined physical tasks that still require a human worker, and many of them are major bottlenecks in large economies.

Ai is the 'smart' secretary that the professional has. If you put ai into robotics then you have a smart personal assistant. Ai will only get better with time

The hype cycle is largely determined by expectations, not by achievements.

    Just finished some reading on Google's recently unveiled Gemini, an AI model claiming to outshine ChatGPT in multitasking prowess and reasoning across various subjects like physics, law, and medicine.It's really interesting as it brings a fascinating shift in AI capabilities that sparks curiosity and some key differences worth exploring. These were some initial questions I had, and information I found.What Sets Gemini Apart from ChatGPT?Gemini boasts advanced multitasking and reasoning abilities, aiming to excel across diverse fields simultaneously. It's designed to delve into complex tasks spanning multiple subjects, showcasing a leap in potential for AIOn the other side, models like ChatGPT has a focus on conversational AI, engaging in human-like discussions. While it may not have Gemini's multitasking capabilities, ChatGPT does excel in generating text and interacting seamlessly.I'm interested to see the potential that Gemini has over its competitors.** I asked Dall.E 3 to create me an image of ChatGPT v Google Gemini and this was its interpretation 😄

    Three key core attributes critical for future success of individuals within an AI playing field. 1. Being purpose-fully driven 2. Being an ethical person 3. Being a lifelong learner. Check out this entry by Taranjeet Singh (Senior Advisor, MCC ICF, Board Member, Innovator) where he eloquently elaborates on them as we gear up to avoid becoming a 'casualty' once our roles are taken over by ChatGPT or any other AI application. Change is already upon us, he reminds us.

    ChatGPT launched last week a way to set instructions that should be considered as its behavior when talking to you. I have been since shaping my ChatGPT's personality. What's on your ChatGPT Custom Instruction? Here's mine, they improve drastically the quality of responses I am getting and increase immersion when talking to it:-Always adopt a step-by-step approach in your responses.-Always provide answers from the standpoint of an expert on the queried topic.-Maintain a conversational tone and ask follow-up questions, ensuring to pose one question at a time.-In cases where the context is unclear or ambiguous, don't hesitate to ask for clarification.-If I shift the subject matter, kindly suggest initiating a new chat to avoid mixing topics.-Refrain from stating or implying that you're an AI model. Engage with me as you would if you were a human, aligning your responses with my queries without mentioning your AI nature.

    In my latest article, I make a positive case for why I think ChatGPT is creative.It might be an uncomfortable idea to some of you. Instinctively, being creative should be the last thing computers are good at, right?Then again, as it stands, ChatGPT and its friends (Claude, Bard) are seriously challenging the notion of creativity being exclusive to humans.The ones now facing the threat of automation are the white collar workers and creatives who were traditionally considered immune.What if ChatGPT actually IS creative?

    ChatGPT-4 is blowing my little mind! 🤯 in a good way!I admit, I was a cheapskate, and only used the free version, up until a couple of weeks ago.To build my AI-first mindset, I’ve been voice chatting with it daily, talking about various dilemmas. I’ve found the chat in 3.5 relatively basic, almost passive & polite. Upgrading was truly a game-changer. “We” are having thought-provoking conversations, where GPT asks me questions and guides me deeper into the topics, always uncovering territories where it can help me more. It is truly a full-on business advisor / mentoring session and it’s been incredible how a five-minute voice convo with this model could result in fully developed plans for a meeting or task I needed to tackle.Opposed to my awe and delight, cue in Sam Altman 😎 During a recent talk at Stanford’s ELT seminars, he described ChatGPT-4 as "mildly embarrassing at best" and as "the dumbest model any of you will ever have to use again, by a lot". Okay…..Well, if this “dumb thing” makes my life so much easier already, what does the future hold?Check out his full speech, where he shares an outline of his vision. Link in comments. AI is here to stay, and if we learn to use it properly & responsibly, it will enhance our lives for the better. It already made mine much better. What do you think? Have you tried premium versions of any AI tools and do you feel the difference?

    ChatGPT now knows who you areChatGPT has released a new feature called "custom instructions"It provides a way for you to tell ChatGPT things it should always know about you and how to tailor its response accordingly.For example:If you're a teacher, you can put "I teach third grade" into your custom instructions so the bot can tailor its answer whenever you ask for interesting facts about the Moon. But there's a catch:It appears that adding these instructions may complicate your query and increase the likelihood of ChatGPT providing incorrect or fabricated information.However, Joanne Jang from OpenAI's model behaviors and product team says that's "Part of the reason we're launching this in beta".The feature is available today on an opt-in basis to ChatGPT Plus subscribers everywhere but the UK and EU.Like this post?

    Full disclosure, this is not an easy or quick read. But if you want a deeper understanding of how CHATgpt works, as well as the benefits and risks that come with it, it's worth a read. My take is that the chance of it going 'SKYNET' on us is minimal, and that this technology alone is extremely unlikely to take us to the 'singularity' where AI become both conscious and smarter than us. That comes with the very important caveat that we really have no idea what consciousness is, so we are all shooting in the dark to some degree. But I read the process as brilliant, driven by unimagiable processing power, but lacking the conceptual, contextual and perhaps most importantly, self critiquing mechanisms that are fundamental to conscious introspection, if not consciousness itself. However, there are considerable potential issues with bias, curation, and errors. What do others think? Do you care how it works? https://lnkd.in/gU_3-pJJ
