Not happy with it-- more so the hype around it. I am sure there are really tangible gains in what we can now do and a lot of avenues opening up, but I can't help but feel like the hype train is making it out to be the end-all for everything.
Yeah it almost makes me want to have an internet break. Because of the FOMO effect as I work on humble programming tasks.<p>ChatGPT has been useful at work but it hasn’t made me 10x as fast. Maybe 5% and in the area of searching for information. Generating code is terrible: it creates plausible looking code with subtle bugs. Probably OK for API call examples though but nothing algorithmic.
I find it more depressing than anything. It's looking like short-term societal/economic shock and existential risk on the long term.<p>Nonproliferation is really hard to do with software.<p>Of course, it's also been nice having a semi-intelligent personal assistant and what sometimes amounts to better search.
