AI is the next big thing

What problems is/has ChatGPT solved?

I am aware that ChatGPT can be used as a tool to aid in functions that don’t involve direct legal and/or fiscal implications, but again, that’s not what ChatGPT is valued for. That’s not what’s going to make OpenAI profitable.

OpenAI has to sell a subscription service that can scale, sell ads on the free version, or they have to reach AGI.

Solving problems is not the same as automating work. That’s solves a CapEx issue (if you disregard operational costs of running AI models), but it’s not necessarily solving a problem.

You’re now trying to dictate what solving a problem is.

Is putting human beings out of work solving a problem?

I’m asking you - what problems has ChatGPT solved that has benefited society as a whole?

That’s not what you asked initially. You’re moving the goalposts.

What problems is/has ChatGPT solved?

I’ve already posted numerous times that AI is leading to breakthrough in medicine. But you ignore it or are incapable of comprehending since it goes agains your views on it. Like a cpu caught in a logic loop.

Here’s an easy one. It quickly reads and makes sense of huge amounts of data. Links different sets of data to find issue and opportunities and then finds ways to improve based on what it finds.

Those are problems in business being solved daily. There are many just like it that are super easy to find.

Are we talking about ChatGPT, or AI in general?

AI predates ChatGPT, so I won’t disagree with you that AI hasn’t assisted in breakthroughs in various industries.

I don’t know why we would need to limit to one small piece of AI.

It aids in business operations. I am not denying that.

But is this solving an actual problem?

I already know you’re going to accuse me of shifting the goal post, but I will say it anyway. Sorting data is not what’s going to make OpenAI profitable unless the solutions i mentioned take place.

The things I discussed are problems. So yes, it’s solving a problem.

If you would have led with that framing, I wouldn’t have responded.

Were humans not capable of sorting data in the way ChatGPT could?

If Humans were incapabale of doing this, then I could consider that a problem that ChatGPT solved.

Not cost effectively. Much of those things weren’t being done and when it was, it wasn’t done well.

You can throw an army of people at most any problem. It’s obviously not practical though.

Again, I’m gonna respond and I already know what you will say (However, in your defense, I won’t even fully disagree with you)

Operationally, perhaps using AI to aid with data analytics/organization is cost effective in the sense that less people are needed, but it doesn’t erase the issue of the costs to run these AI models on the backend.

I would also argue that corporations specifically do not have the capital to implement a formal GPT technology, but I could be wrong.

It’s one thing to use ChatGPT on the job, but the legality of it I think is gray area. I don’t think Corporations are actively suggesting its employees to use ChatGPT, even if it’s proven that ChatGPT improves efficiency

I’m not limiting anything to ChatGPT.

Alright

Then let’s move on from this debate, because I think we’re not fully on the same page of what’s being referred (which I’ll take the blame)

AI will never replace lawyering, and will certainly never replace lawyers in any courtroom presentation.

However, some paralegal and legal clerical/administrative work may disappear or be reduced thanks to AI providing some of the same functions.

I agree with you, but my point is that merely handling paralegal/admin work is not going to make ChatGPT/OpenAI profitable.

That’s not what ChatGPT was sold to investors to do. It was sold to investors on the premise that it will eventually reach complete AGI, which WOULD indeed revolutionize labor as we know it.

The reason investors haven’t pulled out is because Sam Altman is still selling a product that hasn’t come to fruition yet.

If ChatGPT starts charging a premium subscription, then that’s only going to add to the cost of implementation for various industries.

Is the title of this thread about ChatGPT? You sure are hyper focused on chatgpt. Wonder why.

Google, Apple, Facebook, Microsoft, Amazon etc etc all are in AI.

Because I can
