Summary

TLDRThe transcript discusses chatGPT, a new AI system from OpenAI that can have conversations and answer questions. It has exploded in popularity, gaining over 1 million users faster than companies like Netflix and Facebook. ChatGPT can provide detailed explanations to questions and problems, threatening sites like Stack Overflow that rely on human-generated content. The narrator explores what makes chatGPT so powerful. It uses an engine called Codex which also powers GitHub Copilot for coding assistance. OpenAI had previously created DALL-E for AI image generation. So chatGPT continues their goal of creating AI systems that can respond to natural language prompts. The narrator demonstrates chatGPT's capabilities. It can define terms accurately, write code, and fix errors. When provided a JavaScript error, chatGPT not only fixed the code but explained the exact issue. This leads the narrator to predict chatGPT could act like a personal assistant for developers. The AI can also respond to everyday requests - when asked for low-carb meal ideas and a shopping list, chatGPT generated thoughtful suggestions. The narrator believes chatGPT will have staying power like Google due to its revolutionary abilities. It could assist many industries by responding to natural language. While exciting, this does raise concerns about the future of certain jobs. Sites relying on human expertise may need to adapt if AIs like chatGPT can provide detailed, human-like responses. The narrator is very optimistic about the potential of chatGPT and other language AIs, predicting they will become indispensable parts of our everyday lives.

chat GPT is one of the most trending

play00:02

topics right now it's been less than a

play00:04

week since its release and people's

play00:05

minds are being blown with what it can

play00:07

do it's also breaking records with over

play00:09

1 million users signed up in just 5 days

play00:11

faster than Netflix Twitter Facebook

play00:13

even Instagram no longer will you be

play00:15

Googling the answers to problems Chad

play00:17

GPT and gives breakdowns of them in fine

play00:20

detail with explanations exactly how it

play00:22

works this will make people question

play00:24

just how relevant Google will be in the

play00:26

coming future do you want to know the

play00:28

limitations of typescript chat GPT has

play00:30

you covered but what exactly is Chad GPT

play00:33

what makes it so powerful these are

play00:35

things I wanted to find out it's built

play00:37

by the same people that are behind open

play00:39

AI which are now shaping some really

play00:41

interesting Technologies and they've

play00:43

been building powerful engines like

play00:44

codex which is the engine behind GitHub

play00:47

co-pilot something that many of us are

play00:49

already using in our day-to-day coding

play00:51

on vs code and if you're looking closely

play00:53

you might see the beginnings of chat GPT

play00:54

where people put in prompts and they get

play00:57

outputs from an AI generated system

play00:58

another example was Dali 2 which was an

play01:01

image generator based on prompts you

play01:03

enter here you get different types of

play01:04

visualizations of a Spaceman on a horse

play01:07

and lots of other examples even

play01:08

extending out classical artwork chat GPT

play01:11

is therefore a way of prompting an AI to

play01:14

solve or answer a question or a prompt

play01:16

in a human-like manner very different

play01:19

from anything else we've seen before and

play01:21

this can sound scary very scary

play01:23

especially to organizations like stack

play01:25

Overflow which Pride themselves on

play01:27

solving problems with human related

play01:28

answers they've actually gone as far as

play01:30

Banning chat gbt out from their systems

play01:33

this is because they want to build a

play01:34

level of Trust on there and if people

play01:36

simply copy paste answers from GPT

play01:38

without any references that might break

play01:40

that level of trust this is all quite

play01:42

interesting but let me have a look at

play01:44

chat GPT under the hood by actually

play01:46

using it and seeing just how useful it

play01:48

will become as part of our day-to-day

play01:50

lives in development as well as any

play01:52

industry in case you didn't know chat

play01:54

GPT is entirely free if you want to try

play01:57

it out yourself simply go to open AI log

play02:00

in with a brand new account and then

play02:02

select the chat GPT interface I'm quite

play02:05

fond of the design it's nice and simple

play02:06

giving you the examples as well as some

play02:09

capabilities and limitations of chat GPT

play02:11

some of these capabilities are quite

play02:13

powerful things like remembering what a

play02:15

user said in a conversation and

play02:17

providing follow-up corrections as well

play02:18

the first thing I wanted to do is to see

play02:20

if it could tell me what python or

play02:22

typescript is and it gave me a pretty

play02:24

sound answer saying that typescript is a

play02:27

programming language that's a superset

play02:28

of JavaScript since I haven't actually

play02:30

used typescript before I decided to ask

play02:32

it if it could give me a Hello World

play02:34

function not only did it write the

play02:36

function in such a manner that I could

play02:38

literally copy paste it out but it also

play02:40

explained the function to me and this is

play02:42

really just the beginning and here is

play02:44

where things get interesting I've been

play02:46

working on a small application and I was

play02:48

getting an error that I couldn't figure

play02:49

out I decided to copy paste this error

play02:52

into chatgpt to see what it would say

play02:54

here's some JavaScript in vs code for a

play02:56

upload for a video app I'm working this

play02:59

code is fairly when I try to run it in

play03:01

node.js I copy pasted this straight into

play03:03

chat GPT asking if it could fix the

play03:06

following code for me what I received

play03:07

back was my code fixed and not only that

play03:10

chatgpt went through and gave me the

play03:12

code to copy paste and even explain to

play03:15

me exactly what was wrong why it was

play03:17

wrong and how it was fixed in this

play03:19

example I had written my return function

play03:21

incorrectly basically making a bit of a

play03:23

typo and here it's gone through and

play03:25

fixed that return making sure that it's

play03:27

spelled correctly it's also been a bit

play03:29

cheeky here adding in a comment that it

play03:31

fixed the typo right here on the line

play03:32

where it says return if I didn't know

play03:34

any better this could have come from a

play03:36

real human even for example a mentor or

play03:39

a supervisor that could be checking and

play03:41

reviewing your code and this makes me

play03:43

question exactly what things might look

play03:45

like in the future of development

play03:46

because this could really be like a

play03:48

personal assistant officer but chat GPT

play03:50

has a lot of relevance even outside of

play03:52

programming since it's practical to

play03:54

pretty much anything here I wanted to

play03:56

create a list of food I can eat that

play03:59

don't include carbs because I'm trying

play04:00

to lose a little bit of weight it gave

play04:02

me three dishes that I can have grilled

play04:04

chicken as well as shrimp as well as

play04:06

some omelets taking this one step

play04:08

further I asked if it could create a

play04:10

shopping list for me based on those

play04:12

meals and yes it did that very easily

play04:14

not only that it indented them and made

play04:16

them nice and readable I think that chat

play04:18

GPT is here to stay I think it'll be

play04:21

revolutionary it'll become part of our

play04:23

day-to-day lives similar to how Google

play04:25

has and not only that it's going to

play04:27

revolutionize so many Industries once

play04:30

they take full advantage of it that's

play04:32

just my opinion though what do you guys

play04:33

think let me know in the comments below

play04:35
