When: 1/ More accurate + less supervision 2/ Faster 3/ Background + Parallel

Will be the magic moment. Currently like supervising a grandparent using the web. But there's huge potential if ^^^ happens. Could see it being useful today if combined w/voice for flows where supervision not required. Example: asking w/voice to make reservations while driving.




This will never actually happen. Because there is no true feedback.

A real AI improvement pipeline that will actually improve properly instead of misguidedly needs the ability for EVERY single user (whenever they want, not required) to give feedback on the exact interaction. Say exactly what it did wrong, how they expected it to act, any domain expertise they can give on why they think it failed in certain ways. Then the developers can make decisions based on the real fuckups. This isn't happening anywhere.


Feedback -> paying Scale AI to babysit/label tons of these sessions.

It will just be like the post training that turned GPT3 into the original ChatGPT.


Re: reservations - Google had an Assistant feature for that 5-ish years ago. I think it only really worked in a limited number of domains though (restaurants, restaurants, and more restaurants…)

Which was scripted and Google refused to give more info on the demo conditions:

I stand corrected! Thank you.
