Why do you assume the technology will find a specialized niche rather than improving to cater to a broader market?



I’ve been using gpt 3, 3.5, and now 4 regularly since I got access. I have it open on a 2nd tab and I’d say I’m a power user.

I’m also using open ai api for my product.

Just telling you my experience after using this technology for at least 100 hours. Most of my focus is on software eng and while it’s convenient sometimes I’d say it’s accurate maybe 20% of the time.

Maybe I’m wrong but I fail to see this taking hold in areas that require intuition/verification. It’s great tech for sure but the more I use it I’m like meh.

I think it will be a good replacement for some entry level jobs and manual jobs like data entry or whatever. Anything that is foo foo and doesn’t require >50% accuracy. It might be good for giving you summaries or generating headlines. Again though it’s painfully obvious when something is generated by gpt 4.
