openAI lives off of the AI hype. Take a look at what Facebook does with AI for a more moderate take on AI. It’s not useless, openAI just hypes it way beyond where it is.
Comment on New slop just dropped, from OpenAI

The slop being talked about in this article was made by OpenAI themselves. You know, the company at the forefront of the AI bubble, with billions of dollars of money behind it?
I don’t know what kind of mythical standard it is that you believe AI is capable of, but when even the organization at the forefront of the tech can’t make this shit look good, you can’t exactly claim it’s a skill issue.

I believe it’s not capable of much, so we shouldn’t call it mythical, lol. You’ve read me wrong.

To be honest I get your point. We use it at work for summaries of 70-page lists of software commits, and with adequate prompting to “understand” what’s what in our codebase it works remarkably well.
Granted it doesn’t work near as well as a person who spends a month working on such a summary, but it does it in seconds. Then a person can work for a day on reviewing this and tidying up rather than wasting time trying to summarise 100k lines of code by hand.

Exactly, you feed it some data and it gives it to you in the format you want it in. I use it all the time for coding. Not the kind that write the code for me in the editor but, with all the languages in my brain I often forget how to do something, and asking ChatGPT takes three seconds. I can also ask it for alternative methods for accomplishing my goal. Sure, using its code is a bad idea but it can get you to the solution a lot faster than stack overflow and you don’t have to deal with waiting or assholes
