Yeah I think these screenshots probably exclude all the fuckery they pump into ChatGPT before getting the wrong answer. Pretending ChatGPT isn't the biggest development in the history of commerce isn't going to change the impact it has, it's just going to leave people surprised and unprepared when it changes everything.

Pretending ChatGPT isnโ€™t the biggest development in the history of commerce

Let's not get ahead of ourselves here. Is it neat? Yes. Is it a useful tool? Yes (when they haven't put a million restrictions and performance limitations on it).

Is it the biggest development in the history of commerce? Almost certainly not. LLMs are a highly-sophisticated game of mad libs, they work even better than many would expect (as Google learned when they bet against them) but they are not general AI or world-changing. It'll have to be combined with a lot of other tech before it reaches the level we can say "biggest development in the history of commerce"

To date the best use i have seen for LLMs is the summary function in duckduckgo, it makes sense and cites its sources quite well even

A properly trained AI can produce an accurate analysis report that takes professionals 90 days to compile, in about half a second. I don't remember the name of the business, but one business managed to get it to do 8 YEARS worth of one employee's work in 5 minutes. My boss was telling us about a product that integrates into the code repository and knows how all of the code works. He got a demo and he described a bug to it, it found the problem, fixed it, created a feature branch, pushed it to GitHub, created a pull request, and emailed the admin letting them know a pull request was waiting for them. It has increased my productivity at work by probably 600%. It is a game changer. It may not be the biggest change to commerce ever, but it certainly is in our lifetime. Experts are saying that it will dramatically impact 80% of all jobs on the planet within the next ten years. That's some fancy mad libs indeed.

Before you make that accusation go and ask it that question, it's not hard, there's no hidden "fuckery". You must live a sad life if you feel obligated to get emotional and make silly accusations just because an internet stranger made fun of ChatGPT.
