A GPT3 Conversation Between TechCrunch and Emergent Line
We recently received access to OpenAI’s ChatGPT, and we decided to test a few simple concepts in which a traditional chat agent would perform poorly. In a sense, it was an attempt to perform a double Turing test where both AI agents are being put to the test to see if they can plausibly pass as humans. What we found was rather exciting. We tried a few different variations of conversation between the names of portfolio companies and branded/unbranded counterparties to see what the system generated, with no additional insights in the prompt.
A Glimpse of Tomorrow: AI-Enabled vs. Non-AI-Enabled Companies.
I want you to come with me to the year 2006. If you could go back in time and give yourself some tips about investing, developing a business, or where to focus your attention, what might you tell yourself? Or what if we were to go back to 1992? What might you advise yourself at that moment?
Now you might wonder what these two seemingly arbitrary dates have to do with anything technology or AI. But they’re not arbitrary at all. These were two of the most significant inflection points in recent human history. 2006 was the year before the release of the iPhone, and 1992 was the year before the release of the internet to the public. Each of these events split the trajectory of human history in entirely new directions.
