Um... I just had like a 20 minute conversation with ChatGPT about the history of modern physics. If I had this shit as a tutor during high school and college.... OMG.
I think we can basically re-invent the concept of education at scale. College as we know it will cease to exist.
Conversation
I’m excited to announce that I’ll be hosting a workshop and Q&A on ChatGPT with my cofounder and the creator of Numpy/Scipy , along with and . We’ll walk through how LLMs work, how ChatGPT was trained, and show some cool demos!

Really excited to announce our inaugural “Anaconda AI” workshop/webinar series this Thursday!
Join me and @teoliphant @altryne @coderphd as we talk about about ChatGPT and LLMs, show how to construct a bot that can browse the web, and more! event.on24.com/wcc/r/4057436/

Yep. We have to evolve the pedagogical approach. Concepts like “Homework” have to evolve.

That is one of the worst takes I have read so far about the potential of deep learning-powered generative models. Wow.

🤷🏻♂️ We’ll see. So many replies to my tweet are complaining about the imperfections of a piece of software that was announced less than a week ago. It’s based on transformers, which was pioneered 4 years ago.
Care to extrapolate progress over the next 10 years?

Told it to write my essay last night and it was great at spitting out generalities and repeating itself. It has a long way to go lol.

I think you’ll be shocked at how fast it can cover that ground.
Have you tried giving it examples of what you think are better responses, and seeing if it can make a better essay?

I don't know the depth of your conversation but when I asked it questions in physics, biology and computer science it's often very wrong. High school grade education can probably be answered but anything above that and you need to be prepared to curate heavily.

Are you saying you can’t solve the curation and correction problem within a few years, given the rate of progress so far?
