ChatGPT is not going to take your job, but someone who knows ChatGPT might. This is not something to skip over. ChatGPT is an extraordinarily important evolution in Natual Language Processing and Artificial Intelligence...This is a game-changer outright. It is not an AGI. It is not Artificial General Intelligence something like the HAL9000 computer from A Space Odyssey 2001, it is not the Star Trek computer. It doesn't even think as a human being would, but it definitely has very striking human characteristics...Now, the AGI isn't here, and it won't be here for quite some time.* If ever. But ChatGPT? It is possible that this is the landmark where they say "This might be where we started."**

I am not finding a transcript. Sometimes you only get those if you are a subscriber.
Update: See James's comment below about transcript.
He talks about how best to think about what it is doing (It is a probability engine, not a supercharged search engine) and thus how to use it. Also, how not to use it, and why some uses of it are going to be unhelpful for a long time.
*I like nice definite time estimates like that.
**Another one of those over-specific predictions. Look, I get it. This is a domain where we have all seen some things happen much fast than expected and others much more slowly. I thought this was a good use of my half-hour anyway.

Speech to text is pretty weird sometimes, but you can get the gist.

It is a good parser, backed into a decent language masher facility, that is backed into Google.
It does appear to be well done, but not a real game changer, from where I sit.
Imagine it responding to 'tell me the current events most likely to impact '. The current elite media mavens should be crapping clay blocks.
That is unfortunately one of its weaknesses. It doesn't do real-time info very well, and is not (yet) intended to.
