I just learned about ChatGpt and I’m blown away.

The way I see it, we need someone to test this outcome. If you are actually learning and genuinely become completely functional as a professional, this can revolutionize learning.

I’ll admit I’ve learned more from the internet than any classroom ever taught me.

The knowledge pool to cover before getting to the ability to understand cutting edge material in any subject matter is massive, life spanning, so the name of the game is speed.

Maybe the AI speed runs material while a professor monitors in some determined way.

Classrooms purpose isn’t to learn stuff you’ve being taught (atleast in school) but increase critical thinking and solving problems

Honestly to me the entire purpose of primary school (up to age 11 where I am) is socialisation. Under-socialised humans become ostracised by the rest of society. Secondary school (up to age 18) is to try a few flavours of different fields, assess your capabilities, and choose your specialisation, as well as what you’ve mentioned.

It’s going to take some very intelligent people to reshape education in a world of AI. Unfortunately politicians don’t strike me as being well-rounded in their problem solving skills

If you don't learn stuff in classrooms, you have to learn them after you leave the classroom and then you would behind people who did learn stuff in classrooms. It's pretty horrendous advice to tell people to not learn stuff in classrooms.

Yeah, the competitive edge GPT3 has over humans right now is speed. It can cut the bullshit of having to read and memorise to kill a mockingbird and get straight to interpolating the themes in the book, for example. Whether it can perform these interpolations better than a human, I doubt. As op mentioned, GPT3 has an IQ of 110. That’s better than average, but your A+ students are going to be more intelligent, perhaps far more. They can use GPT3 as a crutch on which they can build arguments, but ultimately the final product will be up to them. Of course, if you’re a student with an IQ of 80 struggling by, this tech is revolutionary. It will already completely reshape education, and we’re not even at GPT4. Presumably it will eliminate coursework based- assignments in favour of exams. You could be an art student studying themes of religion, and literally repaint DALLE-2 images, and I’d imagine end up with a good grade.

I see people as taking more of a quality assurance position, in the near future. Making sure what the AI produces is actually correct within the context of society. For example, designing a marketing campaign for kids crayons. I could see a scenario where the AI would draw on its vast wealth of knowledge, see that sex sells, and end up with an entirely inappropriate campaign. It would require a human to input the right parameters and subsequently check the work the AI has done. This is the only use I see for humans in most corporate fields, going forward.

Ultimately, GPT3 to me is the steam engine of AI. We have this fancy new tool that needs to be put to work. I can’t believe I’m alive to see the beginning of a revolution, arguably the most important revolution in all of time. One which will make our species redundant.

What I really would like to see in the future is neural interfacing; merge AI capability with human sensibility. Return the power back to the human race. Can you imagine how quickly we’ll breeze through the Kardashev scale if everyone had the intellect of einstein, or the creativity of Da Vinci? Exciting time to be alive

I'd like first to run chatGPT on my desktop, like I can run Stable Diffusion. This is for reasons of freedom and privacy. It will create a new safe space for creativity, and is much easier to achieve. Maybe they can shrink the model, or maybe we get better GPUs.

Agreed. Let's pray that OpenAI at least starts releasing some papers in 2023. A dataset would be nice as well, but one thing at a time.
