Enjoyed the article and prompted me to play with ChatGPT myself with questions like "How to meditate" and "What is the future of Tesla". The latter even comes with a disclaimer! I am looking forward to your next post on ChatGPT!
Appreciate you saying so Ben! We should hop on discord and have a brainstorm around the future paths LLMs might take. So much to think about and so many possibilities, would love a brainstorming partner.
Google already has their own LLM which is almost certainly more advanced than OpenAI's ChatGPT. In my next post I will talk about why they haven't released it to the public. In a nutshell, Google doesn't have much to gain from releasing an LLM until it can be released at scale, and they have a lot of risk in releasing one because of how easy it is to trick LLMs into spitting out objectionable content, politically sensitive content, and because of how difficult it is to make LLMs accurate. ChatGPT for example answers confidently - but wrong - at least 10% of the time. Google cannot afford to offer a product to the public that gives out bad health advice 10% of the time, the liability would be huge. That said, I do believe ChatGPT will make Google incorporate an LLM interface into search sooner than they would have otherwise.
I have always enjoyed your in-depth analysis of the current events and companies. You have a unique talent for identifying the out of the box idea, be it The Meta versus Apple or chat GPT versus Google search.
I liked how you systematically analyzed the chat GPT abilities but what sticks in my mind is how you have defined a forcing function. It just blew my mind.
Wow Raj, that is an extremely wonderful compliment, I am very grateful to you - it really means a lot to me and is fuel to keep writing, my sincerest thanks!

Sure! I am also thinking of writing a joint article with you on Substack - will DM you !
Thank you. How hard would it be for Google to come up with their own LLM?
