Why would people look dumb relative to ChatGPT? We don't believe we're visually impaired either because we need a telescope and a microscope to see the macro world and the micro world in more detail, do we? AI is just the human mind in an “accelerated” form.

I don’t know about precise information. It’s not right about a lot of things I’m not impressed.
The best part is it’s not as good as a human deciding what garbage 🗑️ it’s almost comical.Whereas AI gets it knowledge from the internet, and whereas 95% of the internet is complete bull excrement, I wonder if it’s worth it.
I tried using it but it said it could not directly access the internet and that it's database is only current as of 2021. Not very impressive. Or maybe it was just lying to me?
most people aren’t good at deciding what’s garbage either.
As with everything, it's useful or not or somewhere in between depending what your needs are.
Personally, I've found it useful. I've already used it extensively for work. I also use MidJourney and find that similar to CGPT. Incredibly useful, massive potential, extremely scary, often wrong and many shortcomings.
I don't have any need for it on my phone so I won't be DLing the app.

I wouldn’t read too much into it. It’s just like according to Apple everyone that uses an iPad is planning a community mural.
You know.... Every time I asked something not in tune with official narrative and got it confirmed I got disconnected lol
Navigating the appstore is brutal.
Information:
Works on this iPhone.
Go to download... requires iOS 16.1 or later.
Okay, but I have an iPhone 7. I can't run iOS 16. The app doesn't work on this iPhone.

Not a big fan of the whole AI explosion. Once it's out, it's out. Once it's learning, it won't stop and I don't see where humans fit into the picture in an IA world. I don't see a benevolent overlord on the horizon.
Look, I'm no luddite. But if Woz is worried about it, that's probably a good sign we should tap the brakes on it.
Disclaimer, I'm a big Woz fan and have been for years, so I'm baised.

Let's all take into account that ChatGPT is a fancy search engine, NOT AI. Now a very, very impressive search engine but that's all it is.

Calm down folks, ChatGPT isn't actually an artificial intelligence
True AI might be possible someday, but ChatGPT ain't it
ChatGPT is not "true AI." A computer scientist explains why
Large language models are an impressive advance in AI, but we are far away from achieving "true AI" — that is, human-level capabilities.

Cutting through the hype: ChatGPT is impressive, but it is not AI - and may never be
AI = an interface?

Exactly. People will eventually catch on to the large language model parlor trick.
I find the list of countries a bit strange. I cannot think of any piece of relevant legislation that would be more stringent in the Benelux or Nordic countries than, say, in Germany.
To understand this a bit better, I asked ChatGPT. First, it offered a lot of generic BS (legislation, market demand, infrastructure, localization, taxation, etc.). After I told it to think harder, it started browsing the web. The links it clicked included this discussion...
After listing a lot of stuff about GDPR, ePrivacy Directive, and copyright laws, it admitted:
As mentioned earlier, it's important to note that while these regulations exist, they are not specific to the Nordic or Benelux countries, but rather apply across the EU. It's also worth noting that these regulations are not unique to these regions but are common considerations when expanding a software service into a new geographic market.
However, it's possible that some additional, more specific regulations could apply in these regions. Unfortunately, I was unable to find detailed information about country-specific regulations for software applications in the Nordic and Benelux regions within the time constraint. It would be advisable to consult with a legal expert with knowledge of these specific regions to ensure compliance with all relevant regulations.

You’re describing the exact same use case. You need a bot to write an excuse to a friend, whether it’s “perfect“ or not?
People’s writing skills have declined precipitously over the last 20 years, this is make it even worse.
Anyone who hasn't used it - if you do any white collar work, use it.
It will make you 10x more productive and eventually replace your job soon thereafter.
However it can also make you 20x more productive.
I've used it for some marketing stuff - for that it's better than your average marketing agency. It's ridiculously good. I guess it was trained on a lot of marketing material!
I've also used to to create an EOSIO smart contract written in C++ in about 30 minutes.
If I had written the same by hand would definitely have taken longer. It was a very simple contract - but... but... smart contract programming is really an esoteric skill, C++ is complicated, and EOSIO is even more esoteric.
And yet ChatGPT was on point the whole time, a bit like having an expert around and you ask him to do stuff, except it produces the whole code as well.
Less esoteric, also used it for some simple JavaScript servers - it's so good it's unreal. You have to talk to it to get what you want but it's really not different than talking to a really good developer to explain what you want.
It's not "smart" or intelligent per se - you can't have a conversation with it at least I get bored immediately. It feels like chatting with someone looking everything up on Google search, then phrasing it nicely. But it does make access to the info on the internet 10x easier than before.
Overall - it is indeed the revolution that everyone thinks it is.

I don’t trust the data collection practices of this company. I put them right up there with Google and Meta.
This technology is amazing. It's the next big thing. Apple, Google, Microsoft... all have to compete and some point in the near future. Especially Google if they don't want their search engine to get obsolete.
This app will remain on my iPhone for a long time.

So exactly like everyone else who provides a service that needs personal information to provide relevant results
