Shawn Wang: evaluation

Transcript context

…Oh yeah. I'm curious. Literally draft. Drafting anything like I want to draft like copy for my conference that I'm running, like I'll put it there first and then I like, it'll just have the canvas up and I'll just say what I don't like about it and it changes. I will maybe edit stuff here and paste in. So, so for example, like I wanted to draft a brainstorm list of reasons of signs that you may be an NPC just for fun, just like a blog post for fun. Nice. And I was like, okay, I'll do 10 of these and then I want you to generate the next 10. So I wrote 10. I placed it in it to, to chat GPT. Okay. And they generated the next 10 and they all sucked, all horrible, but it also spun up the canvas with, with the blog posts and I was like, okay, self-critique why your output sucks and then try again. And it, and it just kind of just iterates on the blog posts with me as a writing partner and it is so much better than, I don't know, like intermediate steps. I was like, that would be my primary use case literally drafting anything. I think the other way that I'll put it, I'm not putting words in your mouth. This is how I view what canvas is and why. It's so important. It's basically an inversion of what Google docs is, wants to do with Gemini. It's like Google docs on the main screen and then Gemini on the side and right now what chat GPT has done is do the chat thing first and then the docs on the side, but it's kind of like a reversal of, of what is the main thing. Like Google docs starts with the canvas first that you can edit and whatever, and then you maybe sometimes you call in the AI assistants, but chat GPT, what you are now is you're kind of AI first with these, the site output being Google docs. I think we definitely want to improve. Like writing use case in terms of like, how do we make it easier for people to format or like do some of the editing? I think there is still a lot of room for improvement, to be honest. I think the another thing is like coding, right? I feel like one of the things that'd be like doubling down is actually like executing code inside the canvas. And there's a lot of questions like, how do you evolve this? It's kind of like IDE for both. And I feel like this is where I'm coming from is like the chat GPT evolves into this blank image. It's kind of like the interface, which can morph itself in whatever you trying, like the model should try to like derive your true intent and then modify the interface based on your intent. And then if you like writing, it should become like the most powerful, like writing IDE possible. If it's like coding, it should become like a coding IDE or something.…
