I cannot believe character.ai was valued at over a billion.

ChatGPT, what does the world's tiniest violin sound like?
I don't think "AGI" when I think custom chatbots....
AGI is when 200 billion dollars according to OpenAI.
BTW AGI is a marketing term for text generator companies marketing their things as "AI". It's not AI, it's a probabilistic text generator.
AI has hype but this is just braindead-take clickbait
AGI is not character.ai's niche
characters are
Their tools are super useful for making characters for vids, NPCs, etc
But if you are trying to cure cancer or prove Fermat's Last Therem you are working with OpenAI or Anthropic... not freaking characterAI
I don’t think you’re working with OpenAI to cure cancer. I think you’re working with actual scientists rather than statistical regurgitations.
I meant, if you are a scientist working on curing cancer.
I wonder if you keep up with that field. I am not an expert but I attend their colloquia
You cured cancer with OpenAI?
Can't wait to hear that story. When is the Nobel prize ceremony?
AI is used in many medical contexts, especially as an excellent pattern matching machine. Throw one shitloads of cancer cell pics or xrays or whatever, let it learn how to recognize. OpenAI is more than what we plebs access on ChatGPT.
