Here is someone on Twitter who has been building some, albeit toys, using the tool. It seems pretty powerful: https://twitter.com/jsngr

I found this to be very impressive: https://twitter.com/jsngr/status/1284874360952692736

Not only did it eventually generate code based on his example for the new domain he specified, it was even able to generate new domains.

It's somewhat impressive but it didn't do what he wanted it to. It didn't list temperatures, instead it listed weather descriptions. And to get it to do this he had to write a full template. We also don't get to see if this was the first attempt at doing this or can the model generate code like this reliably.

You'll be looking for reasons to downplay it while dozens of startups receive funding to build automatic app generation tools.

You are pushing this idea so hard and blasting this thread with copy/paste comments. It's obvious you're excited about it and that's great but there is a lot that isn't shown and that's where the real work is being done.

Just because it looks like magic, doesn't mean there isn't someone pulling some strings somewhere else to aid the illusion.

>You are pushing this idea so hard and blasting this thread with copy/paste comments.

I'm sorry but this comment is absurd. I'm assuming you are insinuating that I am astroturfing for OpenAI which is against guidelines. Not only that but in fact none of my comments are copy pasted so its doubly ridiculous.

>Just because it looks like magic

No is saying it's magic but the thread is full of people saying: "Uhh my random prompt got bad results, this is just hype, blah blah blah..." People looking for excuses to trash the model instead of seeing what it could mean for the industry going forward. None of this is married to OpenAi either, there are plenty of groups replicating GPT and they will likely have similar capabilities.
