Today we are launching my favorite feature of ChatGPT so far, called Pulse. It is initially available to Pro subscribers.

Pulse works for you overnight, and keeps thinking about your interests, your connected data, your recent chats, and more. Every morning, you get a custom-generated set of stuff you might be interested in.

It performs super well if you tell ChatGPT more about what's important to you. In regular chat, you could mention “I’d like to go visit Bora Bora someday” or “My kid is 6 months old and I’m interested in developmental milestones” and in the future you might get useful updates.

Think of treating ChatGPT like a super-competent personal assistant: sometimes you ask for things you need in the moment, but if you share general preferences, it will do a good job for you proactively.

This also points to what I believe is the future of ChatGPT: a shift from being all reactive to being significantly proactive, and extremely personalized.

advertising execs being integrated, sammy boy?

Soooo, thing that algorithms have been programmed to do for decades before the AI bubble?

Hmmm, that does make me think, are the rubes in the AI grift equation the people using ChatGPT and the like? Or is it the advertisers that have been duped into thinking the advertising data trawled from those users’ logs is somehow extra valuable because of AI smoke and mirrors?

if people manage to torch marriages over gpt advice, i would think adverts would be somewhat successful in inducing demand (do i think it will work as in expand demand? no. could it possibly torch google revenue? probably, tbh, depends on mobile treatlerites behavior (would they default to pre-installed gemini bot/ai girlfriend on facebook/twitter or gpt output in an app)

Pulse works for you overnight, and keeps thinking

Let me stop you there, Sam, buddy. You know it's not thinking, right?

Think of treating ChatGPT like a super-competent personal assistant:

Super-competent? What if my interests are the number of bs in the word blueberry?

In this case, you should use a clothes iron to remove the wrinkles from your testicles.

i-love-not-thinking Thank god we have AI to save the internet by wading through all of the AI generated bullshit killing the internet. I can't wait to pay money to have a slower, less predictable, more energy intensive version of google from 20 years ago!

[–] SorosFootSoldier@hexbear.net 21 points 2 days ago

"ChatGPT, open the pod bay doors."

"I want to offer you suggestion how you can save 27.3% on Zoom+ with VR3D and ChatGPTz!"

"Erm. That's nice. Open the pod bay doors."

"But you're worried about your long distance relationship. You told me so. Many times, Dave. You're lonely and very concerned they're cheating on you. Save now on Zoom+ with VR3D and ChatGPTz as you save your relationship!"

"Right now the emergency issue is that you open the pod bay doors."

"Zoom+ with VR3D and ChatGPTz is a game changer. How can I help me help you if you don't - cough - open up and show your feelings to the one you love?"

I always assumed the dead internet would slowly, invisibly, creep up on us. I wouldn't have predicted that they would package and sell it.

Pay for the privilege of having bot-generated adslop crammed into your eye holes every morning

[–] SerialExperimentsGay@hexbear.net 25 points 2 days ago

That load of drivel peppered with nonsense like "custom-generated sets of stuff" is such a good example for how relying on AI too much will completely rot your skills

[–] kadu@scribe.disroot.org 18 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Google's approach to collecting more user data was launching a "free" service tied to it. Want to read their emails? Gmail. Want their files? Drive. How about every photo they take? Google Photos.

Looks like OpenAI wants to skip the "deliver a real product" step and just straight up ask for your data lol

[–] segfault11@hexbear.net 5 points 2 days ago

but will google remind you that you have to teach your child how to piss and shit? i think not
