Why everyone excited for chatgpt plugins?

  1. This massively increases the utility of ChatGPT. You can have it order food. You can have it query your data without paying for fine-tuning.

  2. This smooths over some of the base models' shortcomings. It can now call Wolfram for computations. It can lookup facts instead of making them up.

Total noob here, so forgive me if this question is dumb or naive. I'm interested in pursuing collaborative fiction writing with AIs. Does what you're saying here imply that, in principle, I can sort of artificially increase ChatGPT's memory of whatever world I'm working with it to write about, by developing a plug-in which queries info about my story that I've written including character info, setting details, and previous chapters? If true, this would help the whole process immensely...

Sort of. The default retrieval plug-in is more of a database lookup. It converts a question into a word vector (via Ada api) and uses that to query a self hosted vector database. The base version is more for question/answer scenarios.

That being said, I'm sure that someone is already working on novel generator plug-in that would be more tailored to your use case.

badass calculator and more

ChatGPT: Wolfram Alpha is a website that you can use to get answers to questions and do calculations on a wide range of topics, from science and math to history and finance. It's like having a really powerful calculator and encyclopedia that you can access anytime from your computer or mobile device.

Does ChatGPT actually do that currently, namely keep track of your past prompts and makes a model of your tastes or values, so that "me" here is meaningful?

PS: not sure why the downvote. Is it an offensive or idiotic question?

Per default when you close the session everything about it is forgotten when you have next session. (The past sessions will must certainly be used to train next version of GPT though)

Thanks but that only clarifies from the UX side, we don't know know if OpenAI does save them and could decide to include past sessions in some form, as a context even with the current model, do we?
