OpenAI announces leadership transition

Chat-based AI like ChatGPT are marketed as an assistant. People expect that it can answer their questions, and often it can answer even complex questions correctly. Then it can fail miserably on a basic question.

GitHub Copilot is an auto-completer, and that's, perhaps, a proper use of this technology. At this stage, make auto-completion better. That's nice.

Why is it necessary to release "GPTs"? This is a rush to deliver half-baked tech, just for the sake of hype. Sam was fired for a good reason.

Example: Somebody markets GPT called "Grimoire" a "100x Engineer". I gave him a task to make a simple game, and it just gave a skeleton of code instead of an actual implementation: https://twitter.com/killerstorm/status/1723848549647925441

Nobody needs this shit. In fact, AI progress can happen faster if people do real research instead of prompting GPTs.

Perhaps we need a better term for them then. Because they are immensely useful as is - just not as a, say, Wikipedia replacement.

Needlessly pedantic. Hold consumers accountable too. "Durr I thought autopilot meant it drove itself. Manual, nah brah I didn't read that shit, reading's for nerds. The huge warning and license terms, didn't read that either dweeb. Car trying to stop me for safety if I take my hands off the wheel? Brah I just watched a Tiktok that showed what to do and I turned that shit offff".
