Finally I'll be able to work long enough to fund my retirement at age 130.

A while back I heard something like this was being worked on for people... and my first thought was, "If I gotta have arthritis twice as long, forget it."

Correction: A select few poor people will get it to look for possible side effects. Once it's deemed safe? It will become something only the rich can access.

Only reason the poors will ever even have access

Screw proper testing...do me do me do me!

It will never know anything. What are you not understanding here.

Years ago, when AI learning was a big thing. I equated it to developing instruction sets. We’re now moving to developing the conciseness of those instruction sets. With the speed things are moving, won’t be long.

I mean when ChatGPT has the flare and reasoning to know why “banal nonsense” was the best possible way to not only convey your idea but your tone and feeling.

That’s kind of how I feel about it too. If you engage in the text on its own terms, then it’s either good or it’s not.

If it can give me the body I had when I was in my 20s sure.

It will be available to the 1%. Maybe those in places with universal healthcare as well. (Assuming this extends the health span as well).

Billionaires, who will all receive it a decade before poor people.

Me. I want a rat to live to 4 years

From the perspective of me, as a reader it doesn't matter whether the content is written by a feeling human or a bot pretending to have feelings. If it is good.

The following submission statement was provided by /u/0neiria:

From the article:

"ChatGPT is best known as an AI program capable of writing essays and answering questions, but now Microsoft is using the chatbot to control robots.
On Monday, the company’s researchers published a paper on how ChatGPT can streamline the process of programming software commands to control various robots, such as mechanical arms and drones.
“We still rely heavily on hand-written code to control robots,” the researchers wrote. Microsoft’s approach, on the other hand, taps ChatGPT to write some of the computer code. "Have you ever wanted to tell a robot what to do using your own words, like you would to a human? Wouldn’t it be amazing to just tell your home assistant robot: 'Please warm up my lunch,' and have it find the microwave by itself?" the researchers ask."

Microsoft researchers have put out a new work in which they "extended the capabilities of ChatGPT to robotics, and controlled multiple platforms such as robot arms, drones, and home assistant robots intuitively with language." They claim that this approach empowers even non-technical users to work with robots, and usher in a new paradigm for robotics that integrates natural language very deeply.

That's what they said about the Internet

So we will be forced to purchase infinite new versions of MS botware. yay

bold of you to assume that this would ever be available for 98% of people

That's not even new. People have been finding meaning in sunsets and the sound of babbling brooks for millennia. People already assign meaning to nonsense, are unable to distinguish bullshit from meaning and Rupi Kaur is a famous poet. You can generate trite verse with ChatGPT right now that is just as meaningful as her banal nonsense, and if you market it right people will lap it up. What's the difference?

It's not an intrinsic property of the work you're talking about, it's perceptions. Right now ChatGPT sucks at creating fiction, not because 'it still doesn't understand'. It will never understand. But all it has to do is complexify its model enough that it encompasses longer forms. All that takes is raw data.

I don't really know what you mean by 'actual art'.

Oh, but think of all the extra time we'll have for work!

Rich people and they will be the ones most likely to buy this.

This is a terrible, awful, idea. This planet is already collapsing under the weight of eight billion normal human lifespans. Doubling the amount of impact each person has on the earth would be civilization ending.
