GPT-4: The Morning After - Open Thread
What have you already seen from GPT-4 that impressed you?
I already write about GPT-4: Day Zero.
This is the morning after. And this post is an experiment: it is about you.
What have you already seen from GPT-4 that amazed you? Excited you? Bored you? Scared you? Angered you?

For the first dozen general qiestion prompts I tried, GPT4 gave similar answers to what I had seen from GPT3.5 which was a bit unexciting. I suppose if I used sketches or if I were a more advanced prompt engineer the difference might be bigger.
I’m a true solo attorney leveraging technology to keep overhead low to keep my prices accessible. I also don’t bill by the hour, so efficiency matters. I’m thrilled at what GPT-4 can do to help me complete work expediently. GPT-3.5 was already getting me to 70% usable material. It can’t replace legal research yet since it hasn’t been trained on it, but it will get there looking at exponential growth of generative AI. I know I’m only scratching the surface in my main line of work.
I wonder whether our intellectual property laws will catch up to this quickly changing AI landscape. Google is rolling out a version of this to work in the background for email and docs. When it’s powering work in the background and we aren’t signing into an AI platform, will that work be copyrightable? Right now, the US Copyright Office, I think correctly in light of existing laws, said generative AI created content is not copyrightable, such as when an animal takes a photograph using your camera.
As a result, I’ve been cautioning clients using generative AI who want to have IP interests in the output. There’s a lot of gray area right now.
