Finally... it's been frustrating being a paying Plus user since the beginning and not having access to many of the features users have had access to. I hope they'll also roll out web browsing and image uploading for everyone soon.

I've had access for awhile and it's still very buggy. The web browsing plugin tends to fail just following links.

Can anyone share any use cases they've found for ChatGPT plugins?

Maybe it's because I don't have access to the Browsing plugin yet but the only use I've found for it was writing Wolfram Alpha queries for me like last week when I wanted to know how long it would take to get to the moon assuming a constant 1g acceleration (~3.4 hours iirc)

I haven't used it yet but we utilize instacart in our household, I'll be very eager to see if I can feed it a few URLs for recipes i'd like to cook in the week, intelligently collect and organize the ingredients (and their proper amounts) needed, add it to an instacart account order where I approve the final list, and order.

It would save me a pretty manual repetitive task I do most weeks at least once or twice. If I can now basically just focus on the planning of meals by selecting recipes, that will feel like a real time saver that I can now do other things with.

I don't know if you are on a mac - the but app Paprika works really well for the first part of this.

I found using Wolfram Alpha plugin is very powerful combination that makes ChatGPT able to do a calculations correctly. And solve a lot of equations that I might need to add later to a code that ChatGPT will produce. For example the last time I told it to solve a DE and then asked it to convert the units to natural units and then write a code that include this solution.

Without Wolfram Alpha, ChatGPT completely miss up the analytical solution and the units conversion. There is also a new Diagram it plugin which allow me to create and modify diagram inside ChatGPT which I'm currently trying and seems useful but did not integrate it in real life use case yet.

The Noteable plugin (disclaimer: I work there) allows you to create an entire computational notebook from a prompt. Load data, EDA, ML, viz, natural language description... all of it. It's the first thing I've done where when I've shared it with people not in tech they're legitimately wowed and a bit scared.

Does it work with 3.5 or only 4? I'd love to try it out when I get access to plugins.

cloudripper• 3 years ago

Just read the announcement blog post[0]. I'm curious to play around with what you've been building soon.

I kept getting a plugin load error.

SOLAR_FIELDS2• 3 years ago

Does the Browsing plugin imply you can ask ChatGPT about questions more recent than it’s training end date? I’m particularly working with some fairly bleeding edge open source technologies now and even though ChatGPT hasn’t been trained on their data it could probably make some pretty good inferences if it knew the newer software libraries I was working with. Right now my workaround is to give relevant snippets of the newer source code in my prompt to ChatGPT. ChatGPT4 seems to be good enough to be able to remember and use that source for later decisions. 3.5 is not.

Am I wrong or can you feed it your github repo and get it to create code relevant to your project - instead of manually feeding it contextual info with every prompt?

wahnfrieden• 3 years ago

How does it decide which files?

verdverm• 3 years ago

This is a good question, because the context is limited and the more you use, the more you pay.

One technique is to use embeddings, and then only provide a subset that is close to the prompt embedding. The hard part here is chunking and deciding what close means. One example, when including a function in the context, do I need to include the body, or is the doc string and signature sufficient?

Just a data point: I've got access to plugins as of the last hour, but no access to web browsing yet.

bizzleDawg• 3 years ago

And another: I did have access to plugins (but not web browsing), but the list of plugins would not load. I seem to have been reverted to what looks more like the May 3rd release now (other than it no longer has the deprecated GPT-3.5 model available)

Is it just me but when I query Bing Chat it seems to use plugins already.

Can you use Wolfram Alpha and give me the exact distance to Mars in miles?

Hello, this is Bing. I can use Wolfram Alpha to give you the exact distance to Mars in miles. According to Wolfram Alpha, the distance to Mars from Earth as of Fri, 12 May 2023 20:14:56 GMT+00:00 is 155.9 million miles (250.9 million km). This distance changes constantly as both planets orbit the sun at different speeds and distances. The minimum distance that Mars and Earth can be apart is about 33.9 million miles (54.6 million km), and the maximum distance is about 250 million miles (401 million km). The average distance between Earth and Mars is 140 million miles (225 million km)(space.com)(space.com)(solarsystem.nasa.gov).

Wow, they just changed it so you can only use Plugins with ChatGPT 4 which is limited (25 messages/3 hours). I'm looking forward to finally getting code/browser but it's really shitty that they just dropped plugins from 3.5 (which had unlimited usage).

As a paying customer I feel like they keep moving the goalposts and are really bad at communicating. Their blog post about code/browser /never/ mentioned it was only for certain users and it was near-impossible to find anything official about it. That plus them changing the wording about ChatGPT 4 (at first they made it sound like the limits were temporary).
