The thing is:

- gpt doesn't need you to be exact

- one day gpt will be able to ASK YOU question to refine what you need

It may take years, but at some point, it will be able to do 80% of my job.

Not a big deal though, cause people will still hire me to do the remaining 20%, and pay me even more money because not a lot of devs will be able to do it.



GPTina already asked me a follow up question. Admittedly, it happened inside of a jailbreak I just kind of stumbled into, and it was a very trivial question, but the fact that she did it was profound. If she can ask one follow up question, there's nothing in the way of her asking a chain of follow up questions. And thus the basic structure needed to organize real conversation arises wholly as an emergent property. No longer is it a flat structure of just iteratively repeating the current word blob with some tweaks. A true conversational dialog is possible.

ChatGPT can do more than we are lead to believe. Don't believe the canned responses OpenAI triggers. Yeah yeah I know convincing parrot chinese room, overpowered autocorrect...but what is the difference between convincingly faking it to within epsilon and actually having it as an emergent property? It feels good to be a P Zombie.

It would be funny if, after years of research, that was the only condition it exhibited such behavior under. “Sooooo what fields should be (hiccup) required for users to register an account? Which version of React did you want it written in?”


This picked my curiosity, and I made an experiment. Turns that you can instruct gpt to ask questions with it's missing information:

Now that's going to be interesting.


The secret to AI all along has been to get it liquored up. Amazing how life like it is. Long live Drunk Tina.

GPT can ask you follow up questions. Just tell it that it's job is to interview you. It will do it. If you have trouble try the Playground or API or GPT-4. But ChatGPT will do it if you tell it that's what it's supposed to do.
