To be fair kids are so stupid they started using mid 2023 -source: I'm a teacher

Because kids would be too stupid to actually come up with how to use it on their own and had to wait for someone else to do that. At the end of the day guys at OpenAI spent over 2 years with GPT3 before coming up with the idea of just using it as a chat bot because having completely new ideas is not that easy. I had access to GPT3 in September 2022 (over 2 months before ChatGPT came out) and felt no real incentive to use it. Once it did get packaged as a chat bot I and my uni friends were crawling all over it within weeks.

Fixed. I occasionally skip words when writing - nothing to do with me being or not being stupid.

I think they found that when typing fast/in an emotional state online, our narrative takes over, and we skip words but not on purpose because we thought it, just didn't type it

That’s definitely possible, because sometimes my messages look like absolutely abysmal — grammar-wise — and yet I mentally had a great idea that I thought I typed out :P

Sometimes when I type things out too quick I'll just put the first letter and my brain goes "yep, that's the whole word, time to move on"

How did you command GPT to do anything when it wasn't a chat?

Eh, I've met enough fellow students on their second degree, still struggling to remove the prompt from the text... Sigh

We just got Magic School AI and I'm honestly so ready to help my students delegate the last shreds of their independent writing ability to clankers. o7
