> So I use ChatGPT every day. I like it a lot and it is useful but it is overhyped.
It is incorrectly hyped. The vision most pundits have is horribly wrong. It is like people who thought librarians would be out of work because of ebooks, barking up the wrong tree.
ChatGPT does amazing things, but it is also prone to errors, but so are people! So what, people still get things done.
Imaging feeding ChatGPT an API for smart lights, a description of your house, and then asking it to turn on the lights in your living room. You wouldn't have to name the lights "living room", because Chat GPT knows what the hell a living room is.
Meanwhile, if I'm in my car, and I ask my phone to open Spotify, it will occasionally open Spotify on my TV back home. Admittedly it hasn't done for quite some time, I presume it may have been a bug Google fixed, but that bug only exists because Google Assistant is, well, not smart.
Here is an app you could build right now with ChatGPT:
1. Animatronics with voice boxes, expose an API with a large library of pre-canned movements and feed the API docs to ChatGPT
2. Ask ChatGPT to write a story, complete with animations and poses for each character.
3. Have ChatGPT emit code with API calls and timing for each character
4. Feed each character's lines through one of the new generation of TTS services, and once generation is done, have the play performed.
Nothing else exists that can automate things to that extent. A specialized model could do some of it, but not all of it. Maybe in the near future you can chain models together, but right now ChatGPT does it all, and it does it really well.
And ChatGPT does all sorts of cool things like that, mixing together natural language with machine parsable output (JSON, XML, or create your own format as needed!)
