A.I. Researchers Are Making More Than $1 Million, Even at a Nonprofit

Peter Ringel comments:

good for them! Everyone now rushes into this research because of the hype. Of course, the top-level AI experts can sell themselves at a premium. But overall, costs for non-AI IT development should come down. One reads, coders boost their productivity via GPT, Codepilot and the other tools by 10x. I use the simple GPT for coding daily and easily believe this. It is very useful for the hobby coder.

Laurence Glazier writes:

I'm using GPT 4 every day as a companion while composing. A source of detailed knowledge on composing practice and orchestration.

Peter Ringel responds:

wow, for music/composing too? Stephen Wolfram offered a fitting definition: "at a minimum LLM like GPT provide the next generation of user interface" (paraphrased).

Laurence Glazier replies:

Of course it can't compose in the sense of the transcendent experience, but it can help in background historical information, e.g. today based on discussion with it I moved material from the first to the third movement of my new symphony. I might have made that decision anyway but it is a huge boost to have access to the AI's wealth of knowledge and apparent understanding.

H. Humbert adds:

Depending on what you want it to do, it could fabricate an answer that is downright incorrect. There have been multiple occasions in my experience that it makes craps up, and craps don't exist in real world. Per this research, its accuracy is getting way worse.
