I just heard someone ask a ChatGPT expert "what is the first big real human problem that AI will solve".

There were fifteen very long awkward seconds of silence as he tried to come up with an answer, and that is just the perfect metaphor for all this research and fervor into LLMs.

@CyberCatBytes @twipped Honestly, I would have expected them to immediately suggest a terrible idea.

@twipped No one knows which problem ChatGPT solves, however it is very easy to see all the problems it creates

@twipped the only thing that comes to mind is automating small talk with strangers in the pub but you can just tell its not even going to be able to do that

@twipped None of this is that simple or even predictable. Things are getting pretty weird.
Hell, the question even misunderstands how problems get solved. You don't just solve a big problem in one fell swoop. No technology can do that.

@PointlessSpike @twipped Developers being unable to identify any major use case for their product is not a misunderstanding, it's a red flag.

@MzAprilDaniels Our QA at work used it to generate test data. I've used it to automate boring coding.
Either one of those things are major use cases for a product, and there are plenty of other little problems I'm sure it helps with.

@twipped There are no problems left, blockchain's already solved them all
