Was trying to think of a good use of GPT3 -- something that generates very convincing text but that can sometimes be wrong in important ways. If only there was an industry that was more about sounding convincing and less about right and wrong...

I used your message as input to this website, and that's what I got :joy:

Your dream reflects your inner desire to find a way to use GPT3 in a way that is both convincing and meaningful.

You feel that there is a gap in the industry for something that is about convincing people with words, rather than being focused on what is right and wrong. You are looking for a place where you can use GPT3 to your advantage, but also be aware of its weaknesses and limitations. You feel that GPT3 could be a great asset to any industry, if it is used correctly and with an awareness of the potential pitfalls. You are looking for a way to apply GPT3 that is both convincing and meaningful, and that will not have significant repercussions if it is applied incorrectly.

Personalized astrology?

I mean you guys joke but this is almost certainly a sound business idea if you don’t mind the general moral issues with fortune telling

Anybody in the fortune telling business is not going to be squeamish about automating the process if it makes them a buck. Probably someone is very hard at work on the execution part of this right now.

There is an app my friend uses called Co-Star. It's very popular, and advertises itself as an AI-personalized horoscope app.

Famously written in Haskell

That would be another good one! Could even combine your horoscope and your dreams :)

Been doing this with some friends in a Freud reading group lately, using ChatGPT. Best responses come from using the term "Freudian dream analysis" in the prompt, although ofc it doesn't do it properly/with any sort of completeness. Still, good food for thought.

I used to perform as a mentalist and "psychic entertainer" (I don't have powers, and amongst my peers who claimed to... none of them could do anything I couldn't).

I actually fully expected GPT to write a good "Cold Read" (A psychic reading based on statistically averages, or basic observational data).

It actually was NOT good at this.

You refer to political campaigning and perhaps demagoguery?

I just tried `I dreamt I was getting a tarot reading of the Hermit, the Wheel of Fortune and the Fool.`. Turns out, the Dream app is already an okay tarot reader!

There is a definite business opportunity there...
