The recent release of GPT4 has apparently sent most of that sector into a mass existential crisis, so I wouldn’t be surprised if some emotions got stirred up over there that need settling down.

They have gone to the employment agency, so nobody is left in the office.

I don't know where you got this from

I can tell you for sure that no one worth their salt would make claims like those for something that has been out for a day, and from what I've seen, still has the same problems you can get sued over. Might be torchkiddies larping NLP peeps and starting mass hysteria. The Andrew Ngang.

I thought Reddit’s patented lack of foresight regarding technology was mostly located in /r/technology, and yet…

The way I see it, with the pace at which this field moves, those sorts of objections aren’t worth the energy required to type them. They’ll be obsolete and irrelevant by the time you finish writing them.

You mean the same type of foresight with GPT3, when people (or rather "people", given that it was mostly journalists) got baited into spreading hysteria over the authors claims that the technology is world ending? Or ChatGPT, which was humiliated and jailbroken within 36 hours of its public release?

It has been a day now, and I've heard the same concerns that it's ultimately biased. Definitely not career-ending.

I’ve been using ChatGPT to write all of my sales emails for difficult clients lately, and it has been fantastic. It took what should have been another staffmember at my company and made it into a proofreading duty I can handle while working on other things.

Also… hate to say it, but the fact that you’re using the words “humiliated” and “jailbroken” in this context doesn’t exactly cast a very good light on your understanding of the situation.

I fail to see the point you're making.

I also fail to see what you're saying. How else would you describe events in which you show how stupid ChatGPT actually is and those where you get to trick it to bypass all security filters?

GPT-4 would understand the point he’s making

“The point being made here is twofold:

The user is praising ChatGPT for its effectiveness in writing sales emails for difficult clients, highlighting how it has streamlined their workload by replacing the need for an additional staff member and allowing them to multitask.

The user is also critiquing the choice of words used by someone else ("humiliated" and "jailbroken") in the given context, suggesting that the person may not have a proper understanding of the situation.

The logical conclusion drawn from these points is that ChatGPT is a valuable tool that can significantly improve efficiency in handling tasks like sales emails, while also implying that it is important to use appropriate terminology and demonstrate a clear understanding of a situation when discussing or debating any issue.”

Are you sure that this sub exists in the first place? The only mentions I could find of it is this thread, some comment from the "panic in NLP orgs" thread and this comment from a month ago, which says that it doesn't exist.

I understand what the user is saying, I do not understand how it relates to anything said before that.

Sadly, while GPT4 may be able to predict the next token based on studying the language's syntax thoroughly, it still fails to actually understand anything. Unless the original commenter is a bot, I would expect them to explain how what they said has anything to do with my comment, or the claims made about NLP researcher's obsolescence due to its release.

What you don’t understand is it took 2 yrs to go from nothing to gpt-4. Do you understand how unbelievably fast that is? A tsunami of money is about to pour into this industry!

It took more than 6 years from zero, because to reach GPT4 you had to develop transformers and all the GPTs before 4... The actual difference between ChatGPT and GPT4 is apparently in the data and some policies that regulate when it is allowed to answer (which are still incomplete). This is not remarkable.

I AGAIN fail to see how this relates to previous comments.
