Open Interpreter is amazing. It just reached 10k stars on Github in a few days.

It’s an open-source, free, and unrestricted version of OpenAI’s Code Interpreter that runs locally on your machine:

▸ Run code (Python, Javascript, Shell, and more)
▸ Create and edit photos, videos, PDFs, etc.
▸ Control a Chrome browser to perform research
▸ Plot, clean, and analyze large datasets

pip install open-interpreter

It keeps coming up so I will repeat: DO NOT USE AI DETECTORS WHEN GRADING.

Not only do they not work well & are very easy to defeat by just prompting a couple of times, but they have insanely high false-positive rates against non-native English speakers. https://t.co/SxRWCkagHV

Tons of headlines are declaring a decrease in ChatGPT usage

Some even venturing to question if generative AI is a fad

I'm spending 80+ hours a week working on this problem. And let me tell you the actual issue --

AI still has a major usability problem.

Most people are still grappling with how to leverage tools like ChatGPT/LLMs/Generative AI.

Everyone's waiting for someone to tell them some secret killer use case. (which btw is extremely extremely person- and work-dependent)

And we're left with a lot of people questioning the practicality.

But these clickbait articles fail to name the underlying issue:

It's not that these tools are "not useful"...
They actually just have major usability problems.

I've always thought that when a product becomes labeled as a 'skill' on resumes, it's actually highlighting limitations in usability. Photoshop, Excel, Facebook Ads Manager—all are skills.

Today, "AI adoption" is most definitely a skill.

It probably takes 100+ hours to hit the tipping point where it becomes 2nd nature to integrate it into your daily work and life.

Even though ChatGPT made AI incredibly accessible, there's still a significant ramp up period to where the real value is.

To find your breakthrough use cases, you're going to either have to put in the work... or wait until it's so mainstream and the usability is more solved.

(Note: at that point, there's less of an advantage)

I think ChatGPT et al has 2x'd at least the pace of building and operating our business. (And I'm working on getting it to 3-4x)

But that takes work. And until the usability problem is solved, it will still be a skill.

.@KRLDAndrewG stopped by campus this week to join @TCU Neeley Professor @BeataJones and her class to learn about ChatGPT alongside students. Part of Jones's class is teaching students acceptable ways to use the AI platform.
