GPTChat : Wires and Lights in a Box...
yes, the latest use of the GPT engine has been applied to text content. ingest tons of words, categorize, templatize, and spew.
what we have now is a much more verbose, complicated "Magic Eight Ball".
VIRTUAL MACHINE
while the text responses are insipid, they point to some interesting possibilities. recently someone claims to have implemented a "virtual machine" -- now that's interesting! if this turns out to be true (and repeatable), there are some useful applications to this kind of work.
consider that gptVMs are really domain-specific worlds. they "know" about their subject matter and can offer up responses based on the rules within that domain. a linux VM is one example.
FASB ACCOUNTING
how about creating a gptFASB world. one that can "speak" and "think" in FASB accounting. once the GPT understands the basics, we _should_ have a handy bookkeeper at our beck and call. we just need to input transasctions (debits and credits) and ask for output as in....
"FASB, please produce this month's Balance Sheet."
"FASB, show me the Accounts Payable Report."
"FASB, please produce a P&L for this month."
and so on...
LEDGERS
of course, gptFASB operates on data kept in a *ledger* (ha, did i get your interest there?).
if gptFASB can operate on a ledger of debit and credit messages, how far off can a GPT that can handle Kafka EDA messaging implementations?
and if gptEDA is successful, it surely must have figured out MQTT, and/or HTTP, and more. now we can see engines that allow us to say things like:
PROTOCOLS
"Send this message via HTTP to the server."
"Filter the list of incoming data and route all sales topic messages to the sales-instance using MQTT." and so on.
i suspect this offers a rather new (and possibly lucrative) way to implement LO/NO-code solutions.
GPT can graduate from carnival attraction status to helpful tool with the proper corpus.
WIRES AND LIGHTS
"This instrument can teach, it can illuminate; yes, and even it can inspire. But it can do so only to the extent that humans are determined to use it to those ends. Otherwise, it's nothing but wires and lights in a box." -- Ed Murrow, 1958
