Transcribe →Happy ChatGPT Anniversary! Who is Open AI's Competition?
Nov 30, 202300:25:23Tap to summarizeIt's been a year since ChatGPT was released (yeah, feels longer than that doesn't it?). We’re going to look through it’s achievements, and then run a few episodes taking a closer look at the competition hot on OpenAI's heels So this will be the first in a short 5-part mini series where we’re talking about the alternatives to Open AI - given the Fiasco which has dominated headlines for the past 3 weeks - details of which are still emerging. Some stats on ChatGPT from the past 12 months ChatGPT was an overnight success, attracting one million users in the first five days of its launch, according to Sam Altman. Today, the chatbot has more than 100 million users. OpenAI’s website is visited more than 1.5 billion times every month, according to SimilarWeb data as of September. Nearly half of Americans have heard about ChatGPT, according to a recent poll by YouGov. In February 2023, OpenAI released ChatGPT Plus at $20 per month. Plus users can access GPT-4, while the free version of ChatGPT is powered by GPT-3.5. OpenAI is valued by private investors at up to $90 billion. That’s nearly 35 times what the company was worth two years ago. OpenAI’s headcount has more than doubled since launching ChatGPT. Currently it employs about 770.

Transcribe →Non-Coder Uses AI Coding Tools / Code-Interpreter
Nov 19, 202300:17:29Tap to summarizeWe discuss: AI Coding Tools, Code-Interpreter, Python, Regex, Network errors, Machine Learning, ChatGPT4, HTML Parsing, Github Copilot vs GPT-4 In this episode, we delve into a fascinating experiment where I, Alex Denne, under the watchful guidance of ML Research Scientist Alex Pap, try to get AI to writing some regex that can be run locally on my machine using python, on millions of documents. The goal? To extract matching text from millions of HTML files. It all inadvertently unfolds into an intriguing journey of trial and error. For the no-code listeners, this episode offers first-hand insights into the application and limitations of AI coding tools and code interpreters (and why, for now, you probably still need technical help like Alex D did!) At the outset, we were greeted by a seemingly promising result - a neat CSV file with the right column names but no entries as the AI successfully claimed to extract definitions only to produce an empty result. In an attempt to further probe, the AI was prompted to read the first 100 characters for potential matches. Alas! In lieu of any found matches, it concluded the document must be lengthy and gracefully tapped out. In addition, we had to deal with several network errors that may be attributed to the reported DDoS attacks on OpenAI. After multiple hits and misses, we decided to start afresh with a new approach. We didn't exactly strike gold, but we learned a lot. Through this episode, we touch upon topics like ChatGPT4 and the wonderful feature of 'dragging and dropping' files into GPT-4 Turbo.
