“There’s no way to get there without a breakthrough,” OpenAI CEO Sam Altman said, arguing that AI will soon need even more energy.

    Chat GPT (Generative Pre-Trained Transformer) absolutely does not.

    I had to help my wife with an Excel VBA script. I know a few programming languages but I don’t know vba. Hours of googling turned up no useable scripts that did what I needed. ChatGPT wrote a working VBA script in seconds.

    Anyone who thinks it is a fancy auto complete hasn’t used it.

      It is a fancy auto complete, just an incredibly fancy auto complete. In the same way that a computer that can run VR games, simulate the evolution of solar systems let you access something close to the sum total of human knowledge over the internet is a very fancy pocket calculator.

      I’d tried using it for python and it made up some fake library that does not exist to handle the complex task I was asking it do it. Utterly useless. The way it works is so complicated is simply has you fooled thinking it’s more than a fancy auto complete, but it is literally exactly that. Just the “smartest” auto complete there is. Don’t worry about it, at least you did not fall it love with it and then left your wife to be with ChatGPT, right?
