That headline is total clickbait and the survey needs to be taken with a grain of salt.
First, saying they have used ChatGPT is not the same as saying they're continuing to use it or that is has become a stable and consistent part of their workflow.
Furthermore, at least all of the companies mentioned in the survey have a vested interest in ChatGPT, or something like it, succeeding on a big scale, so of course they're trying it out.
ChatGPT is very much still at the beginning of its hype cycle and it's too early to be making statements like this.

It’s not even available for that kind of numbers.

I don't exactly know, but i do know according to the poll published by The Hill that they work for BIG ENORMOUS Companies, that's all i can say.

I don't know how big a deal this is. I read a lot of Court reports and I have entire sections saved on my computer that I copy and paste into the new report and then just make adjustments based on the individual clients. You know it's if they're writing memos and reports like that I don't see it as a big deal. Mine is a low tech version but it's a big time saver.

It's an indicator of popularity at least. Means they likely have 10s of millions of users by now only 2 months post release.

ChatGPT is regularly at capacity when I visit it.

I imagine a lot of that $10b investment must be going towards server space and processing power.

That's an incredibly fast take-off, much faster than anything else I can think off, even social networks.

I think this post constitutes this sub reddit well due to the fact that is talks about the growing influence of a developing AI: ChaptGPT, it talks about in tech related professionals and how they are becoming more and more friendly towards ChaptGPT at a huge scale within weeks of its release making it a huge technological advancement for the future of science and tech.

Just to play with it? Doesn't really seem that useful yet for most professions.

I've tried it several times but so far I haven't seen how simply using google isn't better. What am I missing? Do people just lack reading and comprehension skills?

PeteCampbellisaG t1_j5c0r6d wrote on January 21, 2023 at 10:22 PM

Short answer: Yes.
Longer answer: What seems to excite people so much about ChatGPT is it (ideally) removes some of the grunt work of doing research and compiling it yourself from multiple sources. Not only does it tell you the answer, but it "writes" the essay for you. Though, by the time they're done commercializing it it'll probably be JUST like a Google search, or YouTube, and bombard you with ads before it gives you an answer.

chrisjinna t1_j5f6urm wrote on January 22, 2023 at 4:06 PM

Well I spent a good amount of time with it yesterday after I made that post. I used it to write a macro/script for a program I use. Only problem was it was for a different version that I don't have and it didn't become obvious till I went to install it. But the good news is once we got the language right it knew what I wanted and helped me write it out in a different programming language that should be compatible. But again it fell down in the installation part of it. Between it, google, and the one obscure you tube video on programming on this train wreck of a control system I think I learned enough to complete the task I want.

So yep, I now see the value. I don't think they will bog it down with ads. But I do think it'll be a subscription service and your meta data will be sold to advertisers. It now knows my needs better than google.

It's interesting that the people who will fund this sort of thing consider themselves job creators, when their product is designed to save so much time it'll put people out of jobs.

I wonder what the new jobs to replace all these AI based jobs will be. I bet ChatGPT knows, I'll go ask it.
