Artificial Intelligence (Previously "Chat GPT")

Huge contrast to the MS demo which looked awesome. Google are clearly playing catch up so it doesn’t look like they are being left behind, ended being worse than showing nothing.
Ever since they put the bean counters in charge, Google have been far less interesting.

The rise of SkyNet continues. This is ridiculous - I put in a bunch of technical questions related to my expertise this morning and it was bloody impressive. This is going to remove so many of the frustrating pain points of doing work in a modern business.

It's already very powerful. A couple of nights ago I got it to write some code that would've taken me ~3 hours to get correct. Instead it took 2mins to word the question precisely
I think they days of huge development teams will be over very quickly. Productivity per developer will massively increase. Successful
developers'AI wranglers' will have more well rounded skills -
They described this as an 'amplifying tool' and that soudns pretty well spot on to me.
The applications are going to be incredible. It'll be like the web - starts with basic implementation (where we are now), and finishes with streaming hi res video, storing everything in the cloud. I think this will be an incredible revolution

I'm using prompts created through ChatGPT to generate images in MidJourney. Very happy with the results

Musk and others are calling for a pause on further development of AI beyond Chat GPT 4 until its implications for society can be understood.
Fat chance this is going to happen. Lawmakers are way behind the curve on technology.
LOL We'll put that up there with things more likely to happen such as a late call up to the All Blacks for antipodean.
AI is an arms race and to be six months behind is an eternity. How would you police that anyway?

Been playing around with Whisper OpenAI's speech recognition model to generate subtitles for some old movies I have collected.
It's pretty amazing and gives an accuracy of about 95-98% with most of the errors around names and places with music & background noise causing most of the other errors. I'd estimate clean-up to 100% accurate subtitles would take about 1 or 2 hours - it's certainly going to hit professional transcribers quite hard, I think.
