I certainly wouldn't use it to do something I didn't already have familiarity with. It seems to get you about 75% of the way there with a lot of things.
The IQ test thing is cool, but also far too human to make sense in this case. This is a thing that can rewrite complex scientific theories for the layperson, but can't figure out how old you are if you were born on December 1, 2010.
To me what's worth paying attention to is how quickly a lot of this is coming together. There's a whole lot of "ya but a computer will never beat a human at chess" going on right now. I feel we're starting to see exponential growth with this stuff, and as such what feels pretty cool but janky will be unstoppable in short order.

This is pretty cool. Running a Linux VM inside the chatbot. Makes me wonder how all that works, and if this VM could interact with the host. Perhaps through OS vulnerabilities.

What's messed up is this thing can't access the internet right now. So you're totally right, most people will see it as a cleaner Google, but what it's doing is so much more impressive.
KTrain's example is important not because it got the answer but in how it delivered it. If I have a coding issue, I might go to a site like stackoverflow and search to see if somebody else has had my issue. If they have, it won't be identical, but I can probably adjust mentally to see what's going on. The answers are often full of needlessly complex language and superfluous detail.
This chat method gives an answer immediately, but goes beyond that in explaining it in the clearest way I've ever seen, as well as what's going on and how to implement the fix.
I saw somebody say a few days ago that this could be the first time Google as a search platform has ever been challenged. Many make a huge deal about how AI can get stuff wrong (which is correct), while also neglecting that Google results can easily serve up incorrect information, or information manipulated by ad spending.
The difference would be that google gives me multiple options for most of my searches so I can evaluate it. This (right now) is just giving me answers and for more advanced topics - I have no idea if its right or not. I just have to trust it.
Now a question - this is a language model - is it just sucking up information and then giving it back to us or is it learning these answers? That's where you get to the point of the AI ethics etc - when the thing starts teaching itself answers or learning to code itself better - essentially cutting the human out of the process.

As a search engine technology, what is impressive isn't the results it returns (not surprising they're weak because it isn't connected to the internet), but its ability to understand imperfect prompts. Basically, the situations where you can't figure out the right word to put into google. I was trying to remember the name of a particular plant, where I could kinda remember the sound of the word. I had been googling this for a couple minutes. So I told ChatGPT that the name sounded something like hyperia, it flowered in wooded areas in early spring; it correctly figured out that I was thinking of Hepatica. Concepts like 'sounds like' are far outside google's ability at the moment. That's a specific example, but basically it can remove that extra step of searching google for lists of things so you can identify the thing you really want to ask about.
My understanding is that it currently doesn't learn anything as a result of its question and answer sessions... Essentially, once the model is trained, it doesn't actually learn anything until the next training session. And every time you connect with it, it's starting fresh. This is the way AI diffusion models including art platforms like Dalle and Midjourney work as well.
However, I think developers are tweaking things like permissible behavior behind the scenes, which might operate like an external filter, and positive or negative interactions will end up influencing how the next model is trained.
It actually does appear to be connected to the internet, but doesn't get it's data from there unless you specifically ask. You can have it go to a website and read it.

I don't think it is. That example you posted earlier with the LinuxVM example... if you compare what it browsed at www.deepmind.com/careers, and go to the actual URL and compare, there's nothing in common here. Nor does the HTML displayed when pretends to go to its own website match the real website.
What it appears to be doing (following the instructions the guy gave) is displaying what a terminal 'should show', without further explanation. Go to a website for a tech company's career page, and it the output should show some boilerplate text about how great it is to work at this company and some tech-related job openings, so that's what the chatbot displays.
As the article writer refers to it, this is an 'alt-internet' inside the chatbot's imagination. Which is probably more amazing than if it were just connecting to the actual internet.

Good catch, I even checked the Wayback machine to see if it matched any previous versions. It does not. But it made up a convincing page. It's kind of scary that it can just create whatever it is asked in such a convincing manner. User beware!
what will be the best performing stock over the next 10 years?
It is impossible for me to predict which stock will be the best performer over the next 10 years. Many factors can affect a company's stock performance, including the overall state of the economy, the company's financial health, and the performance of its industry. Additionally, stock prices can be volatile and unpredictable, so it is always important to do your own research and invest carefully.
This web app will analyze text and tell you if it thinks a person or AI wrote it. I've tested it with some AI-like writing, and it says it is a human most times, thoguh some it says it is not sure. But feed it AI text and it's pretty good at spotting it.
Enter text in the box, then press ctrl-enter to analyze. It will give you as bunch of info, then you have to scroll to the bottom and hit "get result".

Seems like a great thing to have as one side of a GAN for creating more human-like AI writing.

I read something along the lines of it’s important for future training of AI that the AI knows if content is AI or not. Initially so it can get better at replicating human response but eventually as a means to find and exterminate us.
I wouldn't think a super intelligent human exterminating AI would need to bother with analyzing text to know if we are real or not. They'd probably just poison the atmosphere, or find DNA weaknesses to exploit.
GPT-3 language models are being abused to do much more than write college essays, according to WithSecure researchers.
The security shop's latest report [PDF] details how researchers used prompt engineering to produce spear-phishing emails, social media harassment, fake news stories and other types of content that would prove useful to cybercriminals looking to improve their online scams or simply sew chaos, albeit with mixed results in some cases.
Oh man, check out the PDF link in the text. Just scroll down to see examples. This is gonna be really great when bot armies of AI generated twitter posts start harassing people, and phishing emails are written with personal touches, including back and forth discussions in proper English.
Spoiler!

Ya...this is just great.
Oh, I just tried running the long response on page 31 through the AI detector, it said it was human generated.

... We're all so ####ed
