One risk with this is that ChatGPT is often factually incorrect. Worse, it is usually just as confident when it’s wrong about something as when it’s right. It definitely is and will be a powerful tool in the future, but I would double check it’s answers in the short term.
One of the reasons I still like GTP-3 and the Text Generator plugin. Since you can adjust the "temperature to 0 or 0.1" then the AI will come up with the most probable answer, the higher the setting the more randomness / creative the AI becomes. This is handy for AI Art but not so much if your looking up facts.
Friend, Mentor and former boss of mine was involved in some of the earliest prototyping of the web, and recently retired from Google where he invented several of the things that make it good, butt he has often said, that the internet is the biggest source of information in the galaxy, and it is also the biggest source of disinformation in the galaxy - he has also quipped that all major search engines are flawed because they are rated on quantitative assessment - how many times a snippet appears on the internet or is searched, rather than the credibility and provenance of the path to developing that information.
4:04 If you want to learn about callouts you could also ask ChatGPT: - How do callouts work in the obsidian markdown editor? -> In the Obsidian markdown editor, callouts are a way to highlight or annotate specific parts of your text. You can create a callout by using the following syntax: > [callout text]. For example, if you wanted to create a callout that says "Important note:", you would write > Important note: at the beginning of the line. The callout text will appear in a box, like this: > Important note: This is the text of the callout.
I got a lifetime subscription to Creaitor and have used it to help generate blog posts, and flesh out story ideas. It's super great for getting the wheels turning!
Because of you I started using Obsidian and I loved it. Now this, it is a really great invitation to start using GPT. I will try it for sure. Thank you!
"Because ChatGPT is a large natural language model, it is best at completing sentences through supervised learning and reinforcement learning techniques. While the completed sentences may be grammatically correct, they may not necessarily be scientifically accurate. Sometimes, ChatGPT will fabricate answers to questions, and if you are not an expert in a particular field, you may be deceived by it :D
I feel like they made it so that ChatGPT would make mistakes on purpose, cuz it's even making mistakes in simple math, how can a machine make mistakes in math!?
Perfect timing, Nick! Do we know whether ChatGPT will continue to be free, or are OpenAI likely to charge to use the service after the research preview?
I hit the time limit, didn't use all of the $18 credit, has to sign up with a credit card, and costs are 2 cents per approx 750 words of responses. You can hard code an upper monthly charge so you don't go crazy 😄
I find ChatGPT useful for college papers. IT'S NOT WHAT YOU THINK. Lol. I tend to bite off more than I can chew and I struggle organizing my ideas. And I'll get "stuck" not on the big original ideas but on the blah blah blah. So I'll take one component of my thesis statement and ask the AI to write a little bit about it, and repeat with the other components. Then I can go "Yeah that's maybe what a C student would say" and tell it why it's wrong, mirroring the same structure. Or for instance it will give me an idea of how many words it takes to explain a certain thing, so I know how many ideas will fit into 2500 word sections. My work is in the humanities and social science, and what ChatGPT generates is halfway between an example of "what to not do" and an outline I can work from. Like reading a paper from a former student who got a bad grade for originality but was fine structurally. This past term I had two 2500-word essays in a class that's not in my main line of work, and was completely over scheduled. Having ChatGPT generate the structure for a C paper on my topic, then writing my "You're an idiot, this is how it really goes, you silly robot" paper alongside it, I worked quickly and got an A. It wasn't *brilliant* but the point was, it let me get that work done so that I could put more time into my honors thesis. For my thesis, it's useful as an indication of where the low bar is. When it has nothing decent to say, I know I'm on the right track and I'm working on something more unique. When it spits out something that's not very different from what I was about to write about, I know that the thing that just occurred to me has occurred to lots of people before. And yeah it's helpful for those really low-level answers, though it cannot provide sources. I asked it "who was Tecumseh" the other day, and the answer at least led me to a search phrase I could use in JSTOR to immediately find a source that would provide info from a direction that fit my overall theme This way, that one paragraph (out of 50 pages) didn't take me hours. It is *very* biased toward Western/American thought, and definitely won't give a fair and balanced and factual assessment of anything that has a teensy bit of controversy. But it's absolutely a time-saver, if you figure everything it coughs up is C-grade stuff.
There is no reason not to use it? While they require your phone number for registration and sell it to marketing agencies to spam you? No thanks. OpenAI is only open in name.
Not as good as ChatGPT seems to be although ChatGPT is often wrong but Google Assistant works very well. Instead of typing, why don’t you use that little microphone icon in Google Search/Assistant? I just asked Google Assistant which was written first, Don Quixote or Hamlet and got a succinct answer. Same with your other question.
No no no please. Chatgpt does not reference it's sources so you can't validate. It's not research. Not proper research. It's the same level of validity as Wikipedia no serious researcher is going to use a wiki. We will have an internet of copy and paste articles which feeds into the AI. I hope it will move on to presenting sources etc. I think it's probably more useful as a writing aid for non native speakers personally
I would like to send a congratulations note to Nathan, who is getting married next month and wishing him and Lucy all the very best and my prayers to God to bless them both the very best.

It acts exactly like a human consultant 🤣
This is kind of true with everything though, you should always check multiple sources.

@@_Optional_ excellent 👌
Have you tried the 'text generator' plugin in Obsidian?
It pulls from the OpenAI API and is up to date with Davinci v3
Is Davinci v3 like a different ChatGPT ?
@@linkingyourthinking Both are openai, Davinci v3 is GPT3 where the only lacking feature is chat memory.
@@OttoVanluchene Oh, really happy to hear this. So we can have GPT3 in Obsidian right now then?! Wow
@@linkingyourthinking ripe for a video, Nick ;-)

This is where EDUCATION MATTERS, otherwise we are all lost, it's just free floating INFO unattached to any meaning or CONTEXT.

Ohh, I like those call-out boxes 👍
ChatGPT assist me in my journal articles reading. It speeds the process of understanding and digesting papers.
How are you using ChatGPT? Any cool uses? Any prompts you'd like to share with the rest of us?
Actually using ChatGPT for refactoring code to Twig with Tailwind at work.
@@emielpopelier so interesting, everyone using it for programming...must be pretty awesome
Thanks, Nick, this was really informative. I look forward to trying this out!
Glad you enjoyed it Greg!
Hi Nick!
What shortcut do you have to evoke callouts?
Great video! ChatGPT is insane!!
Agreed!!
I feel like they made it so that ChatGPT would make mistakes on purpose, cuz it's even making mistakes in simple math, how can a machine make mistakes in math!?
I am using GPT3.5 powered Text Generator directly in Obsidian.
This is cool 😎

Most important question for me: ChatGPT, when will Obsidian Flight School 2.0 be available? :-)
Promising, but it's Alpha nature kinda defeats the purpose, is it saving me time if I have to question(read: fact check) everything it says?

For fact checking, there's a tool perplexity.ai that provides citations for its answers.
This looks really useful - thanks!
