The two main Unreal demos for anyone interested:
I mean the level of detail is amazing but there's still the question of how much value does it add to the game in the end. And: how good does MetaHuman, impressive as it is, need to get to escape the Uncanny Valley? Or does it ever?
I suspect most on this site prefer skimable text content. I personally hate videos
It feels like a narrow general intelligence with a lot of knowledge. Narrow in the sense that it is only text based, but general in the sense that it did very well handling these complex questions. It felt like an expert in all the random little things I have personally been focused on in my philosophical journey.
I've just watched the first Unreal demo. What's funny is I grew up in the redwoods, before the drought at a time when it was considered a temperate rainforest. As I have gotten older I've had to move a little farther from the redwoods, and I feel like I have left a piece of me there. I have always been interested in video game experiences which reproduce the feeling of being in the forest. Recently I got a VR headset and have been having conversations with my friends about how much I'd like to create more accurate forest environments so I can feel like I am there even when I'm not able to get out there.
So I am an ideal audience to appreciate these video game engine demos. And they look nice! But GPT-4 is much more significant to me. It is providing me detailed feedback and advice on how I can manage my career and my life in ways which are really energizing. When I write scripts for my youtube videos, I know I will be able to ask it for specific advice on topics to consider, or parts of it which I might be able to improve. I am not going to do what some high school students do and have it do all of my writing for me, as my personal voice and expression matters a lot to me. But what I will do is share with it my writing and ask for feedback based on my ideals and goals. It can serve as a teacher providing feedback on my work.
That is much, much more valuable to me than an improved video game engine. This is going to be an ally in my career and help me feel as though I don't have to do all the thinking alone.
One thing to note is that ChatGPT is still GPT-3.5 sometimes. Their page says it is GPT-4 if capacity is available, but I suspect GPT-4 might be pretty busy right now. You can pay $20/mo for GPT-4, which I am close to doing just to try it more.
But from what I have heard, GPT-4 is going to be better at answering those coding questions, and plenty of people here are paying for that, so this might explain why you are underwhelmed and other people are enthusiastic. I was pretty dismissive of this stuff, recently tweeting that ChatGPT made for a poor rubber duck, but my friend has convinced me to pay a little more attention, and now I am seeing some of the value people are talking about.
