Here is an interesting resource for those inclined, instead of copying and paste transcripts into ChatGPT, you could use ChatPDF to paste entire PDFs into ChatGPT: https://community.openai.com/t/chatpdf-c...-api/81446
Then you can "chat" with the PDF, ask questions and glean insights. e.g., FOMC transcripts, quarterly earnings transcripts, transcript of entire Youtube Video etc.

hi Wildreamz,
I am interested in how you improve 10x as a student (since I am also a student at heart) with ChatGPT. That is one hell of a productivity gain!
I am one old geezer. Besides old fashion reading/reflection (with the occasional light bulb going off), imitating people better than me, and questioning uncommon sense, I welcome all avenues that the rate of personal improvement can be accelerated.

Mostly as a personal AI tutor. For example, if you hit a roadblock regarding a topic a hand (be it engineering, sciences, economics, learning a new language etc.), or struggling with context when reading a research paper (what this technical jargon means in this context), asking ChatGPT often shed insights that you can immediately investigate further via Google or other sources. You are no longer bounded by simply, Google + Youtube + Wikipedia + Wolfram Alpha.
Roadblocks (conceptual, knowledge or otherwise), is often the rate limiting factor during self-study.
ChatGPT and similar AI assistants, disproportionately favors the self-motivated; has the potential to further narrow the gap between the privileged and the have-nots.
Broadly speaking, IMHO the internet democratized information, and ChatGPT has the potential to democratized knowledge.

Yes the purpose of internet was to grant access to information and discussion around the world cause it started as an academic purpose
But with curated information to suit what the user likes or dislikes it narrows that information pool and increases bias. Does ChatGPT has that issue since it’s also learning your input?

In a way, it doesn't really curate information like social media (a passive feed of information).
It is more akin to Google and Youtube, where you actively ask questions about information/concepts/knowledge (although Youtube also have video recommendation on their home page).
But there are still risks, such as biases in its programming (so far in my testing, current search filters and safeguards lean Left, in the political spectrum).
You can use it as a source of information, but it's not ideal (especially when it still doesn't have real time access to updated information from the internet, Google is still better for that). It's a good interpreter/processor/analyzer of information and concepts (ie, knowledge); among it's many other use-cases.

Do you have examples of these "biases in its programming" or "current search filters and safeguards lean Left"?

Bloomberg unveils finance-focused AI model Bloomberg GPT
https://www.foxbusiness.com/markets/bloo...omberg-gpt
Quote:BloombergGPT is first finance-focused large language model (LLM) developed by Bloomberg, which aims to use financial data to support a diverse set of natural language-processing tasks
I expect, many sectors to start to develop their own LLM models. Short term effect, Cloud spend reaccelerates, long term effect, every sector experience another tech boom cycle (similar to digitalization in the 90s and 2000s and then mobile revolution in the 2010s).

This could potentially be the death kneel of ChatGPT:
Samsung reportedly leaked its own secrets through ChatGPT
https://www.theregister.com/2023/04/06/s...d_its_own/
"It takes 20 years to build a reputation and five minutes to ruin it."
Even Google has better privacy policies than OpenAI.

This adds another example of leaks that can happen if we feed confidential information to ChatGPT
Although I am not sure this will kill it? It means companies may pay ChatGPT to ringfence their company data?
https://www.csoonline.com/article/369111...risky.html
On March 22, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman confirmed reports of a ChatGPT glitch that allowed some users to see the titles of other users’ conversations. On March 20, users began to see conversations appear in their history that they said they hadn’t had with the chatbot. Altman said the company feels “awful” but the “significant” error has now been fixed.
“We had a significant issue in ChatGPT due to a bug in an open-source library, for which a fix has now been released and we have just finished validating. A small percentage of users were able to see the titles of other users’ conversation history,” Altman said. Upon deeper investigation, OpenAI discovered that the bug may have caused the unintentional visibility of payment-related information of 1.2% of the ChatGPT Plus subscribers who were active during a specific nine-hour window.
