I agree with most of those statements. I don't think he's being petty he's just being honest about what ChatGPT represents to him.

Now I am biased as on a personal level I'm kinda sick of ChatGPT. It's good at carrying on a brief chat and it's very well polished. But it's quite mundane and people are already talking about using it or some variant to make marketing and web pages in a web that's already full of AI generated articles and targeted ads. It should be used perhaps for chats when trained on a corpus including some support docs or something. Not much more than that.

I do think there could be some negative ramifications in the worst case. I have a friend whose a graphic designer at a major company whose been told by her employers this the future of ads. Higher ups say stuff like this all the time and it doesn't wind up coming true so it hopefully won't become a real problem. Still it's a bit concerning that people on the oustside of these fields are perhaps overvaluing ChatGPT so much.

I'd respectfully disagree on the usage. While it has been shown to generate weird sequences, with the right usage, you can guide it to create particularly effective articles and stories. It's summarization tool is also good. Grammar is particularly good as well.

It can be true and petty at the same time. When asked, he will revert to complaining why Galactica was shut down blaming the people using it and pointing as to why ChatGPT does more mistakes but is still standing. Why would someone also suddenly post a paper contribution chart saying that others just 'consume' the research?

Yeah I mean these seem grounded and not that petty to me personally but that's fairly subjective. His criticisms seem fairly mild. I don't think they're worth getting worked up over.
