OpenAI releases “updates” to GPT-4 and chatgpt to derail Google I/O’s announcements.
Or
OpenAI releases the search product after the Google I/O announcement as a surprise announcement.
Or likely both.
It’s obvious the goal is to massively steer attention away from Google’s announcement as they did before, so OpenAI may likely do two announcements, the second by surprise.
I don’t think they can be silent for this long and come back with just “updates”, they are definitely about to release a surprise.
Sam trying to say ‘not a search engine’ already means they know everyone knows they’ve been working on one and they are trying to not be predictable.
I'm already feeling that ChatGPT is becoming useless to me beyond the basic summarization and idea generation tasks, while only last year it felt like magic. Is this what it feels like to run on the hedonic treadmill?
I think it's more like learning my way around a new kind of video game. At first I don't know what it's capable of and can imagine things. Once I know the game's limitations, it doesn't have that mystery anymore.
Also, it's a hint generator. Once I've learned enough about a subject, the hints aren't useful. But ask about a new subject that I'm ignorant of and genuinely curious about, and the hints might be useful again, even though sometimes they're wrong.
It seems weird to me that while OpenAI reacts to Google quite seriously (almost all of their recent major PR moves coincided with Google's), their strategy against Llama is simple disregard, which is an existential threat to OpenAI more than any other models or products in my view.
How are we ever gonna know if we can make AI safe from sending all the money in your bank account to a Russian hacker, unless we first give AI access to your bank account?
It's possible they want to position it as something other than a search engine, like "answer engine" or "personal agent" or whatever, even if what it's meant to do is replace the traditional search engine.
