GPT-4 Can Use Tools Now—That’s a Big Deal

… Earlier this week, OpenAI built tool use right into the GPT API with an update called function calling. It’s a little like a child’s ability to ask their parents to help them with a task that they know they can’t do on their own. Except in this case, instead of parents, GPT can call out to external code, databases, or other APIs when it needs to.

Each function in function calling represents a tool that a GPT model can use when necessary, and GPT gets to decide which ones it wants to use and when. This instantly upgrades GPT capabilities—not because it can now do every task perfectly—but because it now knows how to ask for what it wants and get it. — Read More

GPTs are GPTs: An Early Look at the Labor Market Impact Potential of Large Language Models

We investigate the potential implications of large language models (LLMs), such as Generative Pre-trained Transformers (GPTs), on the U.S. labor market, focusing on the increased capabilities arising from LLM-powered software compared to LLMs on their own. Using a new rubric, we assess occupations based on their alignment with LLM capabilities, integrating both human expertise and GPT-4 classifications. Our findings reveal that around 80% of the U.S. workforce could have at least 10% of their work tasks affected by the introduction of LLMs, while approximately 19% of workers may see at least 50% of their tasks impacted. We do not make predictions about the development or adoption timeline of such LLMs. The projected effects span all wage levels, with higher-income jobs potentially facing greater exposure to LLM capabilities and LLM-powered software. Significantly, these impacts are not restricted to industries with higher recent productivity growth. Our analysis suggests that, with access to an LLM, about 15% of all worker tasks in the US could be completed significantly faster at the same level of quality. When incorporating software and tooling built on top of LLMs, this share increases to between 47 and 56% of all tasks. This finding implies that LLM-powered software will have a substantial effect on scaling the economic impacts of the underlying models. We conclude that LLMs such as GPTs exhibit traits of general-purpose technologies, indicating that they could have considerable economic, social, and policy implications. — Read More

Hundreds attend church service generated by ChatGPT

The artificial intelligence chatbot asked the believers in the fully packed St. Paul’s church in the Bavarian town of Fuerth to rise from the pews and praise the Lord.

The ChatGPT chatbot, personified by an avatar of a bearded Black man on a huge screen above the altar, then began preaching to the more than 300 people who had shown up on Friday morning for an experimental Lutheran church service almost entirely generated by AI. — Read More

An Elo Style Leaderboard for Language Models

We use the Elo rating system to calculate the relative performance of the models. Elo  is a method for calculating the relative skill levels of players in zero-sum games, which was invented as an improved chess-rating system. The difference in the ratings between two models serves as a predictor of the model’s relative performance.You can view the voting data, basic analyses, and calculation procedure in this notebook. We will periodically release new leaderboards. — Read More

You can compare models’ relative performance for yourself, or add new models, here.

Homework Machine Hand Writes AI-Generated Assignments

Devadeth’s homework machine generates text based on the user’s own handwriting to result in more convincing penmanship.

I believe that laziness should be encouraged in many situations. Hardworking people will spend hours laboring on a project, but lazy people will find clever ways to achieve the same result with minimal effort. Laziness gave us tools, machines, computers, and ChatGPT. If you’re a lazy student, then ChatGPT is a tempting solution for essay assignments. But most teachers don’t share my enlightened principles, so they require that students write out their essays by hand in order to thwart ChatGPT submissions. To give those students a viable workaround, Devadath P R designed a homework machine that hand writes ChatGPT essays convincingly.

This is still a work in progress, but the project seeks to solve one of the biggest problems with other homework machines, such as this one that I covered a few months ago after it blew up on social media. The problem with most homework machines is that they’re too perfect. — Read More
