>But actually trying out these features for yourself—or at least the ones that have already been publicly released—does not come cheap. Unlike ChatGPT, which captivated the world because it was free, GPT-4 is currently only available to non-developers through a premium service that costs $20 a month.

So, you need to pay to access GPT-4. Ok.

I'd love to comment on the rest of the article, but The Atlantic won't let me see it unless I subscribe.

I used to read the Atlantic every day. Then they went soft paywall so I read it in private-mode. Now they're hard paywall so I read other sites. I miss it, but I'm not adding on to the pile of subscriptions I already have.

This is really why I use Reddit. I hit a paywall, then just go to comments for the actual story, plus discussion.

Not likely clickbait, but everybody and their dog are trying to write articles on AI right now, and many are shite, or at best premature.

I wonder when we can get chat GPT 5 to say “hey summarize the main points of the recent Atlantic article on chat GPT”

GPT 4 is not worth it right now. It takes too long. Also you can only ask like 20 questions per hour to the GPT 4, but gpt 3 has no limit and is fast enough to be useable.

Yeah, I'm not paying to read that Atlantic article. But if anyone has trouble ponying up $20 a month (... giving up one latte a week, basically) for GPT-4, to be on the bleeding-edge of this new technology... you must not be very curious, or not in tech.

Anyway, even the free version is a revelation.

Do I think that I, as a member of the great unwashed, am somehow owed cos GPT scraped up information that's already been publicly available? Fuck no. ChatGPT already is a huge value-add for its ability to take common language queries, and its speed, and precision of the results.

What they really did is make copyright infringement too hard to trace, and stole everyone on the internet's content. It's theft really, but on a less pessimistic note, part of you is inside an AI the whole world can talk to now, if you posted anything useful enough in the last 20 years. That's weirdly interesting.

I didn't realize building the singularity would be so underwhelming.

I mean down the road you could have your phone/device whatever live coding new things to help you without you ever having to know a line of code. The future could be pretty fucking wild if people take advantage.

Words of spiteful relatives when they found you won the lottery.

"Your" data didn't built ChatGPT. It's trained on publicly available data that can be found on the Internet. Case point, if you give ChatGPT your name, it can't use that to tell you info about yourself.

Don't be like Disney and stake claims on public domain data.

There is literally a robots.txt which can prevent robots from crawling websites, and then people complain robots crawled websites.... go figure.

Yeah, and people use data to train their skill online too. Just because it is ai doesn't change anything.
