NOTION AI IS HERE - 10 Mind-Blowing Examples!

[@ThomasFrankExplains]

Answering a few common questions here: - "What is Notion?" I think this video has gone beyond the Notion niche here on KZbin, so if you're confused or new to Notion, it's essentially a productivity app/no-code tool that lets you build your own custom dashboards and workflows. It's great for taking notes, tracking tasks, managing projects, and a lot more. Here are some of my build guides: kzbin.info/aero/PLzyqWC0hTxc-hJH2n6mVp1W8OAPSl1kcV Here's my playlist for beginners: kzbin.info/aero/PLzyqWC0hTxc-4cuvDjb1eTMes0OoFV2B_ - "Why not just write the code yourself?" (in Example 7 at 07:22) I've seen quite a few programmers give this feedback, and I can see why - the example I showed in the video required a pretty verbose prompt. But it can currently write useful code even with a shorter prompt, such as "In JavaScript, write a function that reverses the order of the elements in an array and also reverses the order of the characters in each element's string." Notion AI answered this correctly in about 3 seconds; more importantly, I didn't know how to write a function like this. Hopefully this second example demonstrates how AI can be quite useful in a programming context! Today, we have to search Stack Overflow or go through code documentation to learn how to use syntax that we don't currently know. Tomorrow, we may still do that - but we'll also be able to simply write a prompt like the one above - if not for writing production code, at least for learning! Pro-tip: I've found that you can also ask Notion AI to ~explain~ what a piece of code is doing.

[@SuperDevastetor]

Yeah but you're still writing pseudo code at that point. With copilot you can literally say hit the poke api and output the weight of each and it will figure it out.

The translation of your trip to Yokohama, Japan is accurate. Impressed with your insights and digging into Notion AI. My son is an AI engineer and will ask him if it is a big thing in their community. I will get back to you and comment on that too. Also, I enjoy your Ultimate Brain; it is an excellent tool in my Second Brain journey. I am excited to use Notion as my favorite thinking platform. Thanks for your video. Kent Ohyama

So what's your son response?

[@SonNguyen-kx9vo]

@@harramputra I am an AI Engineer and I think this is a brilliant move as ChatGPT also provide fire on text generation language models. And this is even better than ChatGPT as it is integrated already into the Notion ecosystem. However, for this to be the next big thing in AI research? I am not sure. Next big thing in AI should be a way to train the bot (like SGD, or GAN), or a new neural network architecture (the same way as Transformer and Neural Network were in the past). Sorry for all the buzzword, but to be short this is just a use case and another way to call for funding, rather than a next big thing.

Powerful stuff, thank you for the concise and informative coverage. An element that is lagging on this technology is attribution. When writing this way you are absolutely leveraging content created by other humans and brought to you by the AI. This is by no means a Notion-specific issue of course.

I've done only very limited testing on that front since I'm only speak English, but I did give it a query in Japanese yesterday and got the correct response in Japanese. Another Notion creator also mentioned to me that they got prompts working in Spanish. Not sure about summarization, but my guess is that it'd work. Since it already has translation tools, summarization should be possible too.

1:34: Woah! That's actually useful as a post all by itself! This is the first time I've seen AI write a text post this good! I wonder if it's using that new text-davinci-003 model I just got an email about. Somehow the translation section ended up on all the top languages I've learned on Duolingo other than Esperanto. I can barely speak Japanese but could recognise the first sentence as the same as the English, as it is a relatively simple phrase (also TIL "ramen" is apparently a loan word in Japanese??). Spanish, I can hardly speak but can understand pretty well and it seemed about the same too. German, can also understand some words despite knowing it less than Japanese, Spanish, or Esperanto. As can be seen from the end, close enough to be relatively similar, especially if, like me, one only understands those languages a little. 9:49: Initially, my thought is, what's the point of having the AI "write code for you" if you have to be this specific about exactly how it works?? Isn't that basically just writing code with extra steps? But then I see that it somehow knows the API, or at least guesses it! That is fairly impressive.

From ChatGPT. The surface area of a sphere with a radius of 20 can be calculated using the formula: Surface Area = 4πr^2 where r is the radius of the sphere. Substituting r = 20 into the formula, we get: Surface Area = 4π(20)^2 = 4π(400) = 1600π ≈ 5026.55 Therefore, the surface area of the sphere is approximately 5026.55 square units.

[@ThomasFrankExplains]

Having read into how GPT works, I wouldn't recommend it for math problems now. It's essentially a hyper-complex neural network that intelligently determines the most probable "next token" aka next word (usually) given the prompt and output it's already made. It doesn't have an actual algorithmic calculation engine like WolframAlpha, or even a regular calculator does. I think we'll eventually see GPT integrated with a proper computation engine in the future, but for now it's "merely" the neural network generating probabilistic responses. For simple math problems, it'll usually get things right. But the more complex the problem, the more error-prone it is. For an example, try putting this in to ChatGPT: 1 + 2 - 3 + 4 - 5 + 6 - 7 + 8 - 9 + 10 A normal calculator will answer this trivially, but in my experience, ChatGPT gets it wrong.

Japanese was mostly right except for lifting weights. The translation was super literal, like "I raise objects that have weight". Instead of 「重量を挙げたり」we would say 「筋トレしたり」 筋トレ literally means "muscle training" and it's a more common and natural phrase that means "lifting weights" 筋（きん） is short for 筋肉（きんにく）which means muscle, and トレ is short for トレーニング which is a loan word from English meaning "training"

[@ThomasFrankExplains]

Haha yeah, it's definitely not yet as easy as "Write me code that gets 5 Pokemon", but the fact that I don't need to know the exact syntax is really impressive! It means that programming will be more and more about understanding the problem and the theoretical construction of a solution, and less about knowing the particulars of the coding language.

Very nice thank you for the demonstration. Does it answers only to english queries ?

[@Adronius]

This is revolutionary! Do you know what would be the price model?

[@ThomasFrankExplains]

Not yet; in alpha it's free, but it'll probably be a paid feature once it actually launches. I know they're using OpenAI, which means GPT-3. GPT-3 has four different "engines" that customers can use, each with a different level of power and associated pricing. Those APIs charge by "tokens", but my guess (and this truly is a guess; I have no inside knowledge) is that on the Notion side it'll be an add-on with a monthly cost for a set amount of use. That's certainly how I'd do it.
