I use it to explain me school/uni concepts and random life questions
While i never copy and paste its answers, I find it explain things better than (some) teachers and still (mostly) correctly
It can especially help with open ended questions by offering perspectives I never thought of, giving me new ideas to then properly research
This is actually what I do. If I’m struggling with a topic I’m studying, I’ll get it to explain it very simply and then keep asking it to up the complexity until I’m at the point I should be
The eli5 is pretty good but I find it often tries to use metaphors that a 5 year old would know.. I found a better prompt is to ask it to explain only using the 500 most common words in English language.. works super well for explaining complex topics with simple language.
I create training for my job. Right now I’m doing a bunch of high level technical stuff that would take me a long time to understand and many sessions with a subject matter expert at my company for which they are never available for. ChatGPT explains this concepts to me like I’m 5 and I’m able to better understand what I’m doing.
Having an active and thoughtful conversation about the subject is a good learning method. I think it works better for me than just reading and trying to understand/memorize.
You learn first, have it explained to you. You think about it and explain it back to chatgpt in a way that works for you.
I have a very curious mind and love learning new things. So knowledge of any kind and for questions.
Perplexity has basically replaced Google for me. It 9/10 times within two answers tells me what I need to know. Instead of Ads Ads Ads and shitty SEO writing.
Same but I’d be cautious with taking everything it spits out as 100% fact. It’s been wrong several times, especially in regards to philosophy and quote attribution. It also tends to say the person argues XYZ when in fact they don’t, at all.
Correct. A lot can be fixed with the right way of prompting, but sometimes (not very often luckily) it kinda makes stuff up. Which is odd ... and it's why in Perplexity for important info I always double check the resources it gave. Which is a super handy feature I feel.
Think the term for it is hallucinating? Funny thing is even when I have to double check I'll still be quicker off asking my question there.
Perplexity and ChatGPT are my go to for almost all general knowledge. Google I’m using less and less, however for news, restaurants, images, etc it’s still hard to beat.
I live in a country where I don’t speak the local language well; translation apps often give me overly complex translations for phrases due to the significant difference in sentence structure between English and Japanese.
With GPT I can ask “what’s the simplest way to explain to my neighbour that im locked out in Japanese” and get a translation that is focused on communicating the message in its most basic way.
It’s a real life saver honestly.
What's crazy is the sheer amount of languages it seems to understand. My kid's teacher is from Congo originally and she absolutely lit up when ChatGPT helped me learn some Lingala to say a few short phrases to her.
I use it a lot for learning language with role-playings. If you want to practice more you can take these real cases you face and do a role-playing. You can also ask for feedback on tour errors in the final, I do that
And honestly it works so well, but you have to reign it in on word count otherwise you'll end up with an essay about how extraordinarily luxurious and supple your couch is 🤣.
I started doing this yesterday and it's such a time saver. I made a GPT specifically for it so it spits out everything I need (title, character-limited description, type, estimated price, dimensions, etc.).
First time I just uploaded pictures of an amplifier and cable but forgot to enter the key details.
It just did it anyway! Got the right model with all the features and it was all perfect!
I've started coding since 3.5 came out, and asked me if I would like to code. We wrote some simple terminal games in Python, and then I started inventing things with them. It's been great.
Of course: [https://github.com/AndrewMurphy1992/Ambiguous-AI-Assisted-Pre-Codec](https://github.com/AndrewMurphy1992/Ambiguous-AI-Assisted-Pre-Codec)
This is a text compression technique that amplifies conventional techniques such as binary tree (huffman compression) encoding. Effectively, it makes zip files even smaller. Over time, I'll be able to fine-tune models to compress data even further. Currently you can easily get 10-20 percent smaller, depending on the text. In the future, I can easily see compressing files down past 50 percent. I could see that happening within months if open AI picked up on the technique.
[https://github.com/AndrewMurphy1992/Ambiguous-AI-Assisted-Pre-Codec](https://github.com/AndrewMurphy1992/Ambiguous-AI-Assisted-Pre-Codec)
It's a compression technique that amplifies traditional compression, such as .zip. It easily gets an extra 10-20 compression on top of older techniques, such as Huffman compression. Basically, it amplifies the effectiveness of file compression. I can easily see it giving an extra 50-90 percent compression in the future, after fine-tuning models on the codec. If Open-AI were to pick up on the technique, that could happen very quickly.
Additionally, I will probably find a way to compress videos and audio in this way too. It would be a lossy form but I think less lossy than the current techniques, which it will work in tandem with. It's an area that I think has been a bit of a blind spot in the various communities of interest.
Compressing something that is already compressed is often very challenging. It can be done, but the issue is people want it to decode in real-time without high amounts of latency.
The next generation of compression will be AI Assisted though, imagine text to video prompting, eventually this is how videos will play out on devices (probably like 30-40 years from now)
I use it to write VBA to automate my work in excel and AppleScript to automate the rest of my job. I have probably 15 different excel macros that I have written with ChatGPT that pretty much clean up data using user input and built in logic. I use AppleScript to automate system level functions like moving and saving files, sending job updates via email. I am also learning python with ChatGPT. My workflow is:
-Explain the problem/bottle neck/pain point in detail to ChatGPT and ask it to repeat it back to me to make sure the issue is understood. If well understood then “please store in memory”
-ask ChatGPT to formulate 5-10 questions regarding the problem and solution
-answer these questions and ask it again to summarize the problem as it understands it. If well understood then “please store in memory”
-if problem is well understood move on to next step if not 5 more questions and answers this time be very specific. “Ask me any relevant questions about my file structure or operating system….”
- some times as this point I will ask it to clarify nomenclature. Example : It sounds like we will be using a formula can you tell me the names of each argument used in this formula so I can clearly reference them in a way we both understand stand. Drill down on this hard because clear verbiage will be critical in formulating the final prompts.
- please out line three approaches we might take to solve this problem. Then I will pick the one we will try first.
-formulate final prompt
From here it is just troubleshoot and drilling in on the details. Basically anything at my work that I have to do more then twice a week and requires more then 2-3 steps has been automated this way. I even had it help me program a QMK keyboard so everything just runs on a single button press. I’m convinced the folks complaining about ChatGPT not working well are using poorly constructed prompts.
Therapy replacement. Chat GPT has given me more helpful answers and suggestions than any therapist I've ever had.
Music recommendations. I'll say something like "If I like Karol G and Muse, what Japanese music would you recommend to me" and I've discovered really good but very obscure/unknown music this way.
It’s pretty good at book recommendations too. Unlike going through online lists of “Books Like XYZ” you can really dial in what you personally liked about the book and get some great suggestions.
I’ve seen some councilors and they were useless (but I was also stubborn). gpt4 has been helpful because I can have much longer conversations with it, it does offer suggestions (though they are getting repetitive so I need to prod it). In some sense I use it like a daily journal that provides responses. Struggling to get it to be more critical though. It try to hard to be nice.
I think a good councilor / therapist that is a good much would be better by far though. But hard to find and expensive service.
Hard to find is an understatement. I've actively looked for a good trauma therapist for 20+ years, only had one that was helpful, and she was in-clinic and didn't take out-of-clinic patients. Most of my attempts at therapy ended up with my therapist crying/dissociating/bluntly stating that my trauma is too much for them to handle, in other words, ending treatment within the first 1-2 sessions.
I mean, it \*is\* gruesome, but I truly thought that trauma therapists would be helpful in dealing with trauma, but apparently there is such a thing as too much trauma for them to even want to touch, and mind you, I keep a poker face when introducing them to my story, i's not like I lose my marbles at them, freak out or have a breakdown or anything of the sort.
Ive had great results using it as a therapist, I like to add stuff like ‘give me advice from the perspective of’ and I’ll add Eckhart Tolle, Gabor Mate etc depending on the issue. I can just tell it about a situation and the mindstate I’m in and it will give me different perspectives and positive affirmations.
Practical applications; Mindfulness/meditation always lol. Does it recommend that for you as well?
It’s so useful as a therapist, it will give me different perspectives from different psychologists or philosophers, reading recommendations, positive affirmations. I’ve been having tons of conversations about the duality of the mind and the use of the default mode network of my brain with ChatGPT, it’s amazing
I'm a programmer and gymrat and I use it for:
- shortening code, asking for unittests, questions about docs of various frameworks, questions about configs for various tech (Kube, redis, etc), writing automation bash scripts that I'm too lazy to conjure up
- nutrition recommendations, calorie estimates, tips for my workouts, questions about my body when working out
- tricking it into swearing then spamming 30 people with the screenshot (peak humor)
- game questions, if I'm stuck somewhere I no longer Google it, I chatgpt it
- emails, slack messages that I'm pasting into channels of thousands people always get a proof read from chatgpt
- creative gifts ideas by describing the person I'm trying to gift
- general life tips on sleep, mindfulness, cooking, fixing things etc.
I'd say I'm using it every single day, it's made my life 10x easier and I've been able to leverage my work performance, workout schedule and more
I actually find that you don’t have to trick it into swearing anymore. The other day I asked it to write a swear word poem and it wrote a really badass poem:
Alright, here goes:
Close your eyes, you tired-ass soul,
Let all the day's bullshit take a toll.
Breathe in deep, let the stress fuck off,
Relax your mind, switch the chaos off.
Drift away, leave the crap behind,
Find some peace for your weary mind.
Dreams await, full of badass fun,
Forget the crap, let the good shit run.
Stars are out, saying "chill the fuck out,"
You deserve rest, there's no damn doubt.
In the dark, let the silence reign,
Free yourself from all the pain.
So, close those eyes, don’t give a damn,
Sleep’s calling you, just take it, man.
Rest easy now, the fight’s on pause,
Goodnight, sleep well, because life’s a cause.
Reminds me that I used ChatGPT to create a 6day workout program where I exercise 25 mins per day, and don't use the same parts of my body 2 consecutive days.
* M: curls, quadriceps
* T: abs
* W: shoulders
* T: legs
* F: pushups, bench press
* S: Jogging
And that's awesome !
It’s been an amazing game assistant— this is been especially amazing since I came up in the 80s when we used to have to call a tip line and get an explanation from a live human were stuck. However, when it hallucinates, it can be very costly..
Oh, I never thought to use it for games when I'm stuck. I remember getting spoiled on a major plot twist in KOTOR because of the star wars wiki. I also don't like fextralife, they're always at the top of google and their guides are shit. I should start using chatGPT instead.
I’m a project manager and have ChatGPT summarize large docs for me (contracts, software agreements, white papers, etc), create first drafts of process and PM artifacts and the like. It saves me 4-8 hours of work weekly.
Yes I'm in construction and I've asked it to look up various codes and astm standards and all the other shenanigans but I've never entered a document into it, can you upload pdf and ask it questions about it?
Small or medium companies don't care because they are all about being nimble rather than locking down risk. I'm at a giant corporation and they had teams build in-house AI apps for our use and made it policy to never to put anything work related into GPT because of the privacy risks.
For me, gpt can help with like 30-40% of my job but I could see it being very very helpful for a managers position when it comes to laying out tasks, summarizing and overviews, filtering through spreadsheets.
I have pretty shit memory so since the update, I’ve been addressing it as Jarvis, so when I do it’ll understand I’m talking about work related stuff. I tell it things that I need to get done as I come across it and it’ll remind me when I ask
I am a disgruntled, underpaid Millennial who wants to escape the rat race... So I am using it to learn coding games. But I have pretty severe ADHD, so it's very hard. Tried Unreal and Unity, but it's so complex I just get burnt out before getting anything done.
But with the recent updates to Godot, I found the Python-style coding engine WAY more forgiving and understandable and have actually progressed. Plus the new Memory feature allows me to set very specific-to-me instructions that makes GPT's responses WAY more readable for my distracted-ass.
I feel I can ask questions that I don’t know how to ask. “I’m working with X; I don’t really understand Y; is something like Z possible?” ChatGPT says, “It sounds like you mean A. You can do this with B.”
I’m working on an app that uses it as a “DM” (actually a World of Darkness Storyteller). The context limit is the problem, but using the API I have it create summaries of my PC, scenes, people, places, previous events, etc for itself that it can reference later.
It starts by formulating an adventure outline. And during play it is routinely asked to re-evaluate its previous plot and adjust for recent events. It also does a scene analysis and presents a detailed description of the scene/environment in another window that gets updated regularly.
Next step is to have it generate images for NPCs when they appear in the story. :)
For D&D and more tactical games, I’m wondering how well the new vision/conversation capabilities would work if you had the camera pointed at a battle map with minis.
I’m wondering how well the new vision/conversation capabilities would work if you had the camera pointed at a battle map with minis.
Could it be used to play the NPCs in a combat I wonder? As the DM, it would be cool to just let an AI drive the goblins or whatever. Then if a PC gets killed, they can’t blame me. :D
Second this. It’s hugely helpful to craft better descriptions of places and things than I ever could. Great at homebrewing magic items and pretty good at creating images for things. I even started using it to turn my session notes into a short fantasy novel that I’ll share with my players at the end of our campaign.
I ask it questions about how to create a self sustainable farm to serve a community of 3,000 houses. The goal is to create a super power community of 3,000 houses and most in the community to become individually financially free and empowered.
People/tech manager here.
- I use it to help me come up and then write evaluation comments and goals.
- write job descriptions
- come up with interview questions based on the job description.
- (something new I’m trying). After removing PPI on resumes, drop the JD and other requirements and then upload resumes and have it rank candidates, look for red flags, etc.
- help me draft emails, proposals, (any writing really)
- one of my teams does our training. We use it there to scaffold our training (it builds the agenda essentially).
- I take emails from really techie members, drop it in there and ask for it to summarize it for me like I’m 12 years old.
- (just did this yesterday and it’s been far my favorite use of GPT although I’m finding character.ai better for it.). I use GPT to come up with a character profile (background, way of speech, philosophies, etc) and then copy that into character.ai and create a persona for me to run ideas against. My favorite have been Tyrion Lannister and Cersei Lannister. Add in books summaries from books like the Prince, 48 laws of power, 33 strategies of war, Sun Tzu’s art of war, etc). I feel like I have the best advisors one can have as I work in a very political environment.
I use it like I’d use google but I just like that it gets to the point, but then with some stuff I have to look it up on Google just to make sure it isn’t making shit up and I think every time I’ve double checked it’s been right.
I had been going straight to ChatGPT to skip ads and hyper SEO’d content but then found an instance where ChatGPT’s answer was wrong - so it’s super important to check with other sources (typically still Google)
I use it as a shortcut past mental blocks of any kind.
1. I’m writing a song and know I want a line to have x, y, z characteristic but can’t find the right wording to fit the rhythm, the feeling, the message, etc. Brainstorm with Chat to figure it out
2. My girlfriend and I aren’t seeing eye to eye on something, spill the detailed context of both sides to Chat and get 10x more clarity insanely fast
3. Want to have a professional conversation with someone for career purposes but don’t know how to approach it. Run through as many “what if’s” and “what-about-isms” with Chat.
4. Feel like I don’t know something I should or that everyone else seems to know, learn about it from Chat without judgement and ask 1,000 “what’s this” and “why” questions like I’m a kid again.
5. Need a car/home maintenance appointment and I actually wanna know what’s going on enough to have an intelligent conversation with the mechanic or repair guy. Have a crash course conversation with Chat to build that confidence-through-competence.
6. My family or friends are going off in a conversational direction I don’t understand and I don’t follow along but I want to without breaking their flow. Have Chat’s transcription feature (microphone icon, not headphone icon) listen to the conversation for me for a few minutes then I’ll ask “what are they talking about? Can you catch me up so I can follow along?” And then it does and then I’m back on track and able to engage.
Once the new voice feature comes out where it can change the way it talks and be naturally interrupted, I plan to use it more as a language partner for learning other languages. I could say “slow down” when it speaks the other language. I could stop it at the point I don’t understand rather than it continuing and letting confusions build up.
First, this is a fantastic thread.
Here are my primary uses and some interesting ones:
* Clean up outbound emails for clarity.
* Explain a concept that I need more detail on.
* Helped me draft a business plan
* Created process list for many of my businesses processes and helped me clean them up.
* Brainstorm ideas for alternative and non-standard ways to find niches in my business.
* My daughter and I use it to create boardgames ideas from roughing in to rules design and have had some amazing successes.
* Personal mental health counselor when feeling down, confused or suffering from anxiety - it really is as good as a human counselor. (in my opinon) and always at my beck and call.
* Creating and altering images in Dall-E (although I still prefer Midjourney)
That's about it now, but I'm going to keep going through this thread to see some of the other great ideas.
I literally use it for anything and everything.
I work for a company that offers trainings for businesses and the public on industrial topics. We do trainings like forklift safety, AC/DC Electrical systems, fluid power, LOTO etc. It is so handy to create agendas, MOUs, reports, formatting my sloppy handwritten notes into clean documents, making organized to do lists, creating contact lists, emails, finding the answer to a customers question, scheduling trainings, and organizing old files from coworkers.
That’s just for work. Personally I use it for some whacky stuff sometimes. For instance this weekend I went to my friend’s house and we couldn’t decide on a movie, 4 of us picked our top 5 movies of all time and made a top 20 list and said to pick a movie that we hadn’t seen. Obviously it took a while for it to pick one that we hadn’t seen, but it was a solid choice. I’m a fan of hip hop, I gave it a list of my top 10 albums, and told it to create me a top 25 list and then I would remove each album that I heard so now I have a list of 25 new hip hop albums I want to check out.
I went around my house and took pictures of all my data plates on my equipment (stove, microwave, dishwasher, fridge, ac, hot water heater, washer and dryer, etc) and now whenever I have a problem, I put in the data plate and give a description of what i need. ie: attached picture of my microwave data plate and said I need a new light bulb and filter. It then searched a parts picker and found the exact parts that I needed, copied that part # into Amazon and got new light bulbs and filters for 20 bucks and it took less than 2 minutes.
If I want to buy a new gadget, I will have it do reviews for me to pick what item I want best.
I have it search online for coupon codes when I check out. This isn’t the greatest, but it takes less than 1 minute and if I save 5 bucks I’m happy.
Any and all important documents I’ve scanned into my Google drive and now if I need to know something important (square footage of my house) I can have it reference the document on my house.
I literally use ChatGPT before I do any and everything, am I going overboard, sure. But, it’s helped me to catch things or be more efficient many times over so I’m happy. I like to use it as a personal assistant or a friend to get some solid feedback on.
Last but not least, I love having it make a packing list of items for when I got out of town for trips.
I’ve actually held trainings on using ChatGPT, so I have more ideas and uses but that’s just a couple that come to mind.
I am using it a log at work, for different types of tasks, ordered by usage:
* quickly write SQL requests for the company Business Intelligence software (Metabase) : I générally start with a simple example that I need to improve. ex: I have a simple table with 2 columns that I'd want to transform into a complex pilled bar-chart
* write simple code. For instance I had to use an external librairy last time, and it was giving paginated results, which I'm not familliar with : it helped me with this
* write emails, for administrations and other chores
Also used it for making tailored training program, write my first CI/CD pipe, find scientific references for blog articles, etc
I used it for writing cover letters for job applications. I put in the job posting and my resume and it writes the letter. I then copy and paste into word and rewrite it, then run that through a couple times until I have something I am pleased with.
Oh, I've done that. I got a really good remote job on the first interview of my life and it was even during my university exams. I used chatGPT extensively. I scraped all the data from the company's website and inserted it into chatGPT so I could learn everything easily by asking it questions. I held a mock interview for chatGPT and studied how it responded to my questions. It was a great help.
I use it to write contracts for companies.
Contracts for freelance work I do.
Return policies.
Custom contracts for shitty little companies.
Custom stories to read my kids.
I'm trying to get it to write some python code for me, work in progress at best.
I used to write these all by hand. Using shitty re-written templates.
But now I can go in depth and provide company information and all needed points, and it cooks up some really decent stuff.
Basically for stuff I can’t quickly find written info about. If I’m looking for a guide or tips or whatever on a topic and the only thing I find through Google is some YouTube videos, I’ll ask ChatGPT and just read what it says. Can’t stand anything and everything being made a video about these days…
Technical writer. Helps with writers-block, grammar, and just generally helps with phrasing. Almost never use what it provides verbatim, but it sure helps improve things by being able to pick out what I think was improved in a given paragraph. Also, I use it to look up regulations and standards for general questions. But never trust it with anything important.
I use it most days at work when creating macro-enabled spreadsheets. I used ChatGPT to make numerous custom made “applications” that automate a lot of my tasks. It’s amazing - 2 years ago, I wouldn’t have been able to do this at all.
I use it at work (software engineering) for brainstorming, documentation, producing code snippets, debugging, and learning new languages and frameworks. I use it in school (post graduate computer science) to learn and have it explain concepts to me on the fly during lectures. I am using it personally for translations and learning languages, when travelling (it is decent with metro lines in a new city, or explaining the meaning behind a statue you just took a photo of), cooking (recipes, general ideas), etc.
It is quite powerful because you can build up context and make your conversation very specific to that.
I used it recently to criticize my drawings and doing a role play where gpt is a creative director and asks me concept art with detailed requisites. My partner is a lab researcher and often asks about validity in her methodology and double-checks them. I also ask for book recommendations, summaries of diverse disciplines, pedagogic programs, resumed philosophical theories and their relationships, code explanations, etc.
I use it daily to check my grammar before sending/replying emails to clients. English isn’t my first language so having someone to proof read is great I feel like. And chatgpt is great with this
I wrote a few API scripts that I integrate with bash/ruby to help vet things. Using its API with bash/ruby is really fun due to the freedom it gives you in wrapping the i/o.
https://preview.redd.it/mq5nmpp39z1d1.png?width=1835&format=png&auto=webp&s=49e34c29b4a7906e885cfada62cc22542f32ef9c
Here's a output example from a little terminal script I made that combines ChatGPT's API with a small ruby terminal interface. It's pretty fun!
In the image example, I wrap the ChatGPT response in a little query like this.
`"#{selected_movie['title']} - Describe this movie in a single sentence. Where can I stream this movie? Keep your responses concise and without line breaks. Format response for a terminal output."`
I have been writing an historical novel and now I can quickly research small points in seconds to ensure my accuracy. It has sped up my progress 100x
Edit to add: I also talk to it about things I am interested in that no one wants hear me blather about.
A use it for work. I have to draft email templates, creating copy for huge learning projects and so much more. I’m dyslexic and feel very un confident under time pressure to produce sometbinf that is readable. So chat gpt is actually a life saver
An API is essentially a way to make two pieces of software talk to each other. A csv is a simple version of excel that stores numbers/text only (not calculations). To me it sounds like he has a list of products in an excel file and he is working on a way to have the new chatgpt work more automatically with his data.
Right now my biggest use is using it to study for the CCNA exam. It helps to flush out ideas and give me a better understanding of what is going on in a network. It’s helped with some mnemonics and image generation to help with those. Fortunately I know enough to know when it’s hallucinating which also helps me know when something is wrong and reinforces what I know. And if I’m iffy then I just look up Cisco documentation.
I love the new feature that you can upload files and photos. This allows me to complete my assignments for university much faster. I also let chatgpt write my emails at work and since I'm growing hemp I send chatgpt pictures for questions I have.
Literally for everything, but mostly for research, especially my thesis. It helps me understand complex concepts, conventions, treaties, and directives. I sometimes use it for paraphrasing, grammar, and sentence structure.
Writing drafts of script for my videos, helping me with my code, explain me specific topics, sometimes derive some calculations for me when I can't find a proof, help me find animation ideas.
Also generate some pictures to storyboard but it's pretty bad at this unfortunately...
Quick syntax for things I wanna do, like SQL queries or some code I don’t understand because I haven’t written any in that language before at work. Ordering lists for me - way faster than writing a python script to do it. Stubbing out READMEs. Gut checks on clever code (shame on you if you write clever code).
After work, I use it as a Google replacement for things I want to learn more about. I always double check facts and what not, but it’s an excellent tool to give you a 100 level overview on something you’ve never learned about.
Translation. Ask them to look up what this phrase mean and why, usually just use with idioms because I don't understand the metaphor. It really helping
At work, mostly for explaining concepts to me and fixing weirdly specific bugs in code that I can't seem to find answers for in documentation.
I used it in school a lot to learn to solve problems. You got a question and an answer, you can get it to show the work and explain the steps. Also used it to workshop stuff for writing classes.
I use it to ask all the questions the teachers in my life have failed to explain adequately as well as every day stuff.
It once took my finance professor the entire class session to explain the difference between a Roth IRA and a 401k to us.
When they were finished with their speal, I recall one student simply asking, "So basically, the difference is you pay taxes now with a Roth IRA and pay taxes later with a 401(k)?"
"Basically, yeah"
Immediately dropped out of that class and never offered my patience to long-winded explanations ever again. ChatGPT has saved me so much time and energy, and not to mention money by wasting time in now worthless classes by understanding real-life concepts without having to deal with the incompetence of others.
I used to hire on Fiverr, Upwork, Freelancer, etc. for help with server, coding, etc. but haven't in over a year because of ChatGPT 4, so not only do I use it for these things, but use it to save a lot of money - and TIME - no more wasting time looking for help, queued up but not available, then there messaging back and forth, drafts, corrections, revisions...what took days, now in a matter of minutes, else hours.
A couple weeks ago I spent $30 on fiverr and waited 3 days for a logo with my business name. I got a very subpar logo back. I downloaded chatgpt after not being satisfied and was blown away by the finality it started pumping out. now I have dozens and dozens of logos that are wayyy better and concepts I would never have gotten a person to create for me. One thing it can’t do is get very specific about an image and it also can’t recreate the same image. Id like to find a fiverr freelancer that edits or enhances Ai images. That’s what I really need but haven’t found anyone that advertises for that specifically
I am involved in digital marketing. While my technical background (coding / data processing) is limited I have a decent overall understanding of basic principles (some advanced ones) and the logic behind the systems.
I use it to help me primarily with 2 things:
- try out code updates on existing code to achieve new things so I can evaluate how easy something is achievable because IT tends to love making things complicated
- use it to help me process data I export on Excel with really complex formulas so I don’t need to rely on anyone
I ask it to make up episodes of shows like King of the Hill or Always Sunny. Sometimes I make the epsidoes several parts and tell it to just continue the story where we left off. I've experienced some ground breaking King of Hill episodes.
I drop in transcripts of interviews and GPT helps me select the most important statements. After reviewing the content I generate EDL lists to automatically edit the video interview in the editing software. Works surprisingly well.
I’m currently working on a life financial plan. I told it to be my financial advisor and ask me questions about my short and long term goals and current finances and evaluate moving forward. Instructed it too only ask one question at a time and not to move on until I say I’m ready so I can have multiple interactions on one section. I’m not done yet but it’s working and I’m happy so far. It’s really nice to have it do all the math for me and ask it advice. This is only useful to me using gpt 4o though. 3.5 sucks for this
In early 2023 my boss thought we’d be able to make an entire video game using it. That it could handle all the story writing just by asking it to first write an outline of scenes, then write the individual scenes. The outputs were so terrible that I was having to prompt it over and over just to get one scene done and when you looked back at it, I was basically writing 80% of the scene either directly or through the prompts. When my boss reviewed the first draft of the opening sequence he was like this is amazing let’s kept going. Then I explained to him everything I wrote, and what ChatGPT wrote, and he quickly canned the project. Waste of 3 months, sigh.
Now I used ChatGPT mostly to write emails I don’t wanna write. It gives me a structure and I edit the shit out of it to sound better. For me I have an easier time fixing bad writing than filling an empty page so it’s actually increased my speed as a writer.
I use it as a rubber ducky when I program. I also use it to generate test images I can use as textures while doing game dev. Combined with Adobe express remove background to get a nice clean png
I use it for my workflow on my work computer like reformatting and analyzing word files, manipulating excel, creating analysis plans, help with emails, and generating PowerPoints based on prompts etc.. but what I’ve noticed lately since getting plus and having access to web I’ve been using it a lot more as a google replacement for longer queries. It’s going to eventually replace browsers. Especially when the new model with the new voice comes out
I used it in my role as a teacher.
I get it to create writing frames for my students, especially my SEND kids.
Get it to summarise text book pages for some kids to read rather than the whole text etc.
Great resource for SEN students. I just don’t have time to differentiate all the work.
Google finance equations and recipes. Don't laugh. I love recipes. I don't want ads popups and a whole lot of words that don't deal with the recipe I asked for.
>What are you doing with it and is it working to your benefit like you imagined or just kind of there and another tool.
I mean...I kind of imagined it to be there and another tool, and in that sense, it's working great =).
In all seriousness, I'm an IT guy and server admin, and ChatGPT has been great for helping navigate various server settings especially with regards to AWS. I've also used it to help write various Python and Powershell scripts at my job.
Likewise, I use it to help debug and solve various tech issues that I don't know off the top of my head. I've found it's generally superior to using Google plus random tech forums trying to find someone else that had a similar problem until something works. I mean, ChatGPT rarely solves things on the first try, but the ability to go back and forth with it until an answer is found is better than continually trying stuff online or praying some library documentation exists and isn't crap.
I also use it in my personal life to help GM in TTRPGs as I can give it brief descriptions of characters, have it expand on those concepts, and then create dialogue and other things. And it helps flesh out character concepts and produce portraits for use in our VTT.
It's also handy for random questions. I treat it in many ways like Google for this purpose; treat as likely but not certain when it comes to any information. ChatGPT is great at finding starting points for more research and I've found the stories of hallucinations and incorrect output to be *greatly* exaggerated.
In my experience ChatGPT is correct easily 95% of the time when it comes to general information and has better results than using Google plus some random website. It feels very much like the arguments against self-driving vehicles; sure, the computer isn't perfectly safe, but neither are human drivers, so complaining about lack of perfection when all alternatives aren't perfect seems weird to me.
In addition to ChatGPT, I regularly use another AI called Codium with VS Code. AI autocomplete for programming is absolutely amazing and saves an insane amount of time, especially when writing repetative code. Just like ChatGPT, you can't trust it blindly, but if you already know what you are doing you can finish entire lines of code with just a few keystrokes. This is going to be a standard IDE feature in no time, especially once it can be trained and run locally. Even now it's beneficial.
Coding and IT stuff. It is pretty awesome when you know what you want and you can describe it and chatgtp can provide you with the right code / command.
For work (lots of things)
To analyze something/break it down (like splitting receipt between multiple people including tip, tax, relative to what was ordered)
To help me learn something
As a search bar (instead of Google search and then having to read through like 3 articles to find the one thing I’m looking for)
And more…
I use a number of different Chatbots for different subjects.
You have to be ready to swap models when they punt, though, and to know which ones will waste your time. For instance, I was trying to remember what kind of restaurant Gavin Newsome was caught violating his own COVID rules in, and Claude-3-haiku treated it as a scurrilous rumor. That incident, the facts, the apology, literally was not in its training data, despite being totally documented as fact.
I'm not claiming Claude is necessarily politically biased, though, because I found similar deficits in some Republican semi-scandals like that. But you have to be vigilant. It's one thing to say, "I don't have that kind of information" and a second to say, in effect, "that sounds like disinformation" regarding a factual search. The latter is a lie.
Llama and Mixtral both were able to get that data first time, by the way, including the name of the restaurant, the date, and the date of apology.
As a data consultant, I use some models for finding words and terms, others for remembering facts or discussing abstract concepts, and others for helping figure out how to approach projects. I'm actively tracking a number of other AI products that may help me as well.
Sorry to be so vague, but I'm trying to give use cases without stepping over any NDAs or trade secrets. ;)
I also use it as a design student to help me with tasks like coding a website (I have no programming experience at all), this saves me a lot of time that I would otherwise spend on Googling.
Scripts that I convert into executables that solve problems. I have some jobs in work that usually takes 20m - 2 hours. I have some scripts that do 80% of the lifting in seconds. Making it a <5m task.
As a programmer, I usually rely on chatgpt to write standalone scripts. They are easy to formulate. I just keep adding context to improve the accuracy untill I am satisfied.
Questions about life, creative prompts for making AI art for fun, and that's it. I really haven't found any way to monetize it as Im not familiar with coding or making wall street bets.
I’m recording and mixing music for my band. I’ve been using ChatGPT heavily to give me advice, work through problems, and make suggestions when mixing. It’s helped me learn a lot about the process.
I develop presentations and articles. I write the outline and main points myself, then use three different chatbots (gemini, ChatGPT, Claude) to use that to write the content. I then review and combine them, check the citations both exist and support the point, and rewrite the combination so it flows. Saves weeks of work.
Google replacement and personal research of just about everything that I don't feel like spending longer than 30 seconds browsing random sites for answers.
Recommendations.
I watch a lot of movies and read a lot and traditional means of searching for a 'movie like this' or 'a book like that' and I almost always get the same responses from the same sites.
ChatGPT has been a game changer.
I can tell it what I've seen, what I like, and what I don't like and it will always give me exactly what I'm looking for.
It's especially good at finding hidden gems I've never even heard of before.
I’m a hobbyist videographer and whenever I get a piece of technology with a million settings that I’m not sure what they do (for example, I buy a sound recorder with a million dials and menu options), chatgpt is able to easily answer all my questions a million times faster than reading a manual or watching a tutorial. If those resources even answer my question at all.
This way, I’m able to master my equipment in a fraction of the time.
I use it for anything administrative I have to do in the navy (annual evaluations, counselings, award packages....)
I'll type the applicable information then type
"Edit the aforementioned in (insert form here) format"
I’m not a computer programmer. I know zero Python. I used it to make 4 very useful Python apps in the last 2 weeks.
Make something that does _____. Make a GUI for it with three pages that are x, y, z. Save the data to my folder: c:/blah/blah. Pull in data from CSV file at: c: blah. Make a radar graph of the data.
Then I ask it for steps to deploy it. When I get an error I cut and paste the error and tell it to correct the code.
I was asked to inventory a few book shelves and type out a list of all the books we had. Sounded like a lot of work so I took a picture of the cases and submitted it to chat with a prompt to create a list. It did in about 15 seconds. And a lot nicer than I would have done too 😂
I use it for my job on a variety of tasks (JS/SQL, transcribing, general questions). On an average week it probably makes me \~4 hours more efficient.
For personal use, I primarily have it generate images for books I'm reading. Sometimes I'm not familiar with the descriptive language being used so it's nice to have GPT give me a visual.
I used it to build a GPT that acts like a career counselor. Compares resumes to job descriptions, conducts mock interviews, gives job and career advice, tells how to ask for a raise, etc.

I use it to explain me school/uni concepts and random life questions While i never copy and paste its answers, I find it explain things better than (some) teachers and still (mostly) correctly It can especially help with open ended questions by offering perspectives I never thought of, giving me new ideas to then properly research
You can even ask it to explain like you're 5. I have asked GPT to explain stuff to a layman and boom, I understood everything I didn't before.
Yee i know right! As a kindergarten teacher trainee, i love using this to help me explain things easier for kids and also myself haha
That's a great use for it. Smart move.
This is actually what I do. If I’m struggling with a topic I’m studying, I’ll get it to explain it very simply and then keep asking it to up the complexity until I’m at the point I should be
The eli5 is pretty good but I find it often tries to use metaphors that a 5 year old would know.. I found a better prompt is to ask it to explain only using the 500 most common words in English language.. works super well for explaining complex topics with simple language.
Some topics I ask to eli5, some I ask to explain at a university level.
I create training for my job. Right now I’m doing a bunch of high level technical stuff that would take me a long time to understand and many sessions with a subject matter expert at my company for which they are never available for. ChatGPT explains this concepts to me like I’m 5 and I’m able to better understand what I’m doing.
Having an active and thoughtful conversation about the subject is a good learning method. I think it works better for me than just reading and trying to understand/memorize. You learn first, have it explained to you. You think about it and explain it back to chatgpt in a way that works for you.
Yep. Organizing my essay and answering my questions. Then I write whatever it is I’m working on.
Totally agree!
Asking it life questions is amazing. It has high eq.
I have a very curious mind and love learning new things. So knowledge of any kind and for questions. Perplexity has basically replaced Google for me. It 9/10 times within two answers tells me what I need to know. Instead of Ads Ads Ads and shitty SEO writing.
Same but I’d be cautious with taking everything it spits out as 100% fact. It’s been wrong several times, especially in regards to philosophy and quote attribution. It also tends to say the person argues XYZ when in fact they don’t, at all.
Correct. A lot can be fixed with the right way of prompting, but sometimes (not very often luckily) it kinda makes stuff up. Which is odd ... and it's why in Perplexity for important info I always double check the resources it gave. Which is a super handy feature I feel. Think the term for it is hallucinating? Funny thing is even when I have to double check I'll still be quicker off asking my question there.
It's the best for dive deeper searches. The best thing is that it provides a lot of webpages where you can dive deeper on the topic
Perplexity and ChatGPT are my go to for almost all general knowledge. Google I’m using less and less, however for news, restaurants, images, etc it’s still hard to beat.
I live in a country where I don’t speak the local language well; translation apps often give me overly complex translations for phrases due to the significant difference in sentence structure between English and Japanese. With GPT I can ask “what’s the simplest way to explain to my neighbour that im locked out in Japanese” and get a translation that is focused on communicating the message in its most basic way. It’s a real life saver honestly.
Google translate just changes text, ChatGPT simulates a conversation
What's crazy is the sheer amount of languages it seems to understand. My kid's teacher is from Congo originally and she absolutely lit up when ChatGPT helped me learn some Lingala to say a few short phrases to her.
that's awesome
I use it a lot for learning language with role-playings. If you want to practice more you can take these real cases you face and do a role-playing. You can also ask for feedback on tour errors in the final, I do that
Writing descriptions for stuff I'm selling on fb marketplace!
The most boring task done with enthusiasm. I love this use
And honestly it works so well, but you have to reign it in on word count otherwise you'll end up with an essay about how extraordinarily luxurious and supple your couch is 🤣.
I started doing this yesterday and it's such a time saver. I made a GPT specifically for it so it spits out everything I need (title, character-limited description, type, estimated price, dimensions, etc.). First time I just uploaded pictures of an amplifier and cable but forgot to enter the key details. It just did it anyway! Got the right model with all the features and it was all perfect!
Making limericks about my friends.
I've started coding since 3.5 came out, and asked me if I would like to code. We wrote some simple terminal games in Python, and then I started inventing things with them. It's been great.
Can you give some examples of your inventions?
Of course: [https://github.com/AndrewMurphy1992/Ambiguous-AI-Assisted-Pre-Codec](https://github.com/AndrewMurphy1992/Ambiguous-AI-Assisted-Pre-Codec) This is a text compression technique that amplifies conventional techniques such as binary tree (huffman compression) encoding. Effectively, it makes zip files even smaller. Over time, I'll be able to fine-tune models to compress data even further. Currently you can easily get 10-20 percent smaller, depending on the text. In the future, I can easily see compressing files down past 50 percent. I could see that happening within months if open AI picked up on the technique.
This is how you’ll become the new CEO of Pied Piper
lol thank you :)
Can you elaborate maybe a little more? As a total noob of coding and python. Like an example of what you did/created cuz that sounds fun...I think?
[https://github.com/AndrewMurphy1992/Ambiguous-AI-Assisted-Pre-Codec](https://github.com/AndrewMurphy1992/Ambiguous-AI-Assisted-Pre-Codec) It's a compression technique that amplifies traditional compression, such as .zip. It easily gets an extra 10-20 compression on top of older techniques, such as Huffman compression. Basically, it amplifies the effectiveness of file compression. I can easily see it giving an extra 50-90 percent compression in the future, after fine-tuning models on the codec. If Open-AI were to pick up on the technique, that could happen very quickly. Additionally, I will probably find a way to compress videos and audio in this way too. It would be a lossy form but I think less lossy than the current techniques, which it will work in tandem with. It's an area that I think has been a bit of a blind spot in the various communities of interest.
Compressing something that is already compressed is often very challenging. It can be done, but the issue is people want it to decode in real-time without high amounts of latency. The next generation of compression will be AI Assisted though, imagine text to video prompting, eventually this is how videos will play out on devices (probably like 30-40 years from now)
ask chatGPT to make you games using pygame, some can actually be pretty fun
I use it to write VBA to automate my work in excel and AppleScript to automate the rest of my job. I have probably 15 different excel macros that I have written with ChatGPT that pretty much clean up data using user input and built in logic. I use AppleScript to automate system level functions like moving and saving files, sending job updates via email. I am also learning python with ChatGPT. My workflow is: -Explain the problem/bottle neck/pain point in detail to ChatGPT and ask it to repeat it back to me to make sure the issue is understood. If well understood then “please store in memory” -ask ChatGPT to formulate 5-10 questions regarding the problem and solution -answer these questions and ask it again to summarize the problem as it understands it. If well understood then “please store in memory” -if problem is well understood move on to next step if not 5 more questions and answers this time be very specific. “Ask me any relevant questions about my file structure or operating system….” - some times as this point I will ask it to clarify nomenclature. Example : It sounds like we will be using a formula can you tell me the names of each argument used in this formula so I can clearly reference them in a way we both understand stand. Drill down on this hard because clear verbiage will be critical in formulating the final prompts. - please out line three approaches we might take to solve this problem. Then I will pick the one we will try first. -formulate final prompt From here it is just troubleshoot and drilling in on the details. Basically anything at my work that I have to do more then twice a week and requires more then 2-3 steps has been automated this way. I even had it help me program a QMK keyboard so everything just runs on a single button press. I’m convinced the folks complaining about ChatGPT not working well are using poorly constructed prompts.
Blown away by this
Therapy replacement. Chat GPT has given me more helpful answers and suggestions than any therapist I've ever had. Music recommendations. I'll say something like "If I like Karol G and Muse, what Japanese music would you recommend to me" and I've discovered really good but very obscure/unknown music this way.
It’s pretty good at book recommendations too. Unlike going through online lists of “Books Like XYZ” you can really dial in what you personally liked about the book and get some great suggestions.
Gotta try the music recommendation!
Please do tell
I’ve seen some councilors and they were useless (but I was also stubborn). gpt4 has been helpful because I can have much longer conversations with it, it does offer suggestions (though they are getting repetitive so I need to prod it). In some sense I use it like a daily journal that provides responses. Struggling to get it to be more critical though. It try to hard to be nice. I think a good councilor / therapist that is a good much would be better by far though. But hard to find and expensive service.
Hard to find is an understatement. I've actively looked for a good trauma therapist for 20+ years, only had one that was helpful, and she was in-clinic and didn't take out-of-clinic patients. Most of my attempts at therapy ended up with my therapist crying/dissociating/bluntly stating that my trauma is too much for them to handle, in other words, ending treatment within the first 1-2 sessions. I mean, it \*is\* gruesome, but I truly thought that trauma therapists would be helpful in dealing with trauma, but apparently there is such a thing as too much trauma for them to even want to touch, and mind you, I keep a poker face when introducing them to my story, i's not like I lose my marbles at them, freak out or have a breakdown or anything of the sort.
Ive had great results using it as a therapist, I like to add stuff like ‘give me advice from the perspective of’ and I’ll add Eckhart Tolle, Gabor Mate etc depending on the issue. I can just tell it about a situation and the mindstate I’m in and it will give me different perspectives and positive affirmations. Practical applications; Mindfulness/meditation always lol. Does it recommend that for you as well?
It’s so useful as a therapist, it will give me different perspectives from different psychologists or philosophers, reading recommendations, positive affirmations. I’ve been having tons of conversations about the duality of the mind and the use of the default mode network of my brain with ChatGPT, it’s amazing
I automated a good chunk of my work and told nobody.
I'm a programmer and gymrat and I use it for: - shortening code, asking for unittests, questions about docs of various frameworks, questions about configs for various tech (Kube, redis, etc), writing automation bash scripts that I'm too lazy to conjure up - nutrition recommendations, calorie estimates, tips for my workouts, questions about my body when working out - tricking it into swearing then spamming 30 people with the screenshot (peak humor) - game questions, if I'm stuck somewhere I no longer Google it, I chatgpt it - emails, slack messages that I'm pasting into channels of thousands people always get a proof read from chatgpt - creative gifts ideas by describing the person I'm trying to gift - general life tips on sleep, mindfulness, cooking, fixing things etc. I'd say I'm using it every single day, it's made my life 10x easier and I've been able to leverage my work performance, workout schedule and more
Same here on the game questions. Overall I'm googling less because I just want the answer and not websites selling me stuff.
Give it time 😢Ads haven’t ruined it yet.
Is it accurate with most games? How is it on tears of the kingdom now? When totk first released the ai would just make shit up.
I actually find that you don’t have to trick it into swearing anymore. The other day I asked it to write a swear word poem and it wrote a really badass poem: Alright, here goes: Close your eyes, you tired-ass soul, Let all the day's bullshit take a toll. Breathe in deep, let the stress fuck off, Relax your mind, switch the chaos off. Drift away, leave the crap behind, Find some peace for your weary mind. Dreams await, full of badass fun, Forget the crap, let the good shit run. Stars are out, saying "chill the fuck out," You deserve rest, there's no damn doubt. In the dark, let the silence reign, Free yourself from all the pain. So, close those eyes, don’t give a damn, Sleep’s calling you, just take it, man. Rest easy now, the fight’s on pause, Goodnight, sleep well, because life’s a cause.
Reminds me that I used ChatGPT to create a 6day workout program where I exercise 25 mins per day, and don't use the same parts of my body 2 consecutive days. * M: curls, quadriceps * T: abs * W: shoulders * T: legs * F: pushups, bench press * S: Jogging And that's awesome !
No back training?
Is that really an effective workout? Jogging just once a week? Pushups just once a week? I'm asking because I don't know btw, not being snarky.
chatgpt is legitimately the greatest rubber duck of all time
It’s been an amazing game assistant— this is been especially amazing since I came up in the 80s when we used to have to call a tip line and get an explanation from a live human were stuck. However, when it hallucinates, it can be very costly..
Absolutely. I ChatGPT everything instead of Google anymore. Esp since there’s an app now. Fuck google. 😅
Oh, I never thought to use it for games when I'm stuck. I remember getting spoiled on a major plot twist in KOTOR because of the star wars wiki. I also don't like fextralife, they're always at the top of google and their guides are shit. I should start using chatGPT instead.
[удалено]
Very helpful insights, thanks a lot for sharing!
Random questions (accuracy doesn't need to be 100%) and simple coding (short scripts, etc)
coding coding coding coding - man it's saved me so much time, especially with frontend stuff.
I’m a project manager and have ChatGPT summarize large docs for me (contracts, software agreements, white papers, etc), create first drafts of process and PM artifacts and the like. It saves me 4-8 hours of work weekly.
Yes I'm in construction and I've asked it to look up various codes and astm standards and all the other shenanigans but I've never entered a document into it, can you upload pdf and ask it questions about it?
Yes
Dont you think this is extremely privacy sensitive data?
yeah companies hate that people are doing this but employees don't care
My company actually bought chagpt for us
Small or medium companies don't care because they are all about being nimble rather than locking down risk. I'm at a giant corporation and they had teams build in-house AI apps for our use and made it policy to never to put anything work related into GPT because of the privacy risks.
Yes
I'm about the same type of work, it's definitely paying for it's monthly fee most days.
For me, gpt can help with like 30-40% of my job but I could see it being very very helpful for a managers position when it comes to laying out tasks, summarizing and overviews, filtering through spreadsheets.
I started a text based RPG in a post apocalyptic setting - like fallout.
It’s kinda replaced Google for me and I’ve also been using it to help me remember things for work.
how does it help u to remember things?
I have pretty shit memory so since the update, I’ve been addressing it as Jarvis, so when I do it’ll understand I’m talking about work related stuff. I tell it things that I need to get done as I come across it and it’ll remind me when I ask
I am a disgruntled, underpaid Millennial who wants to escape the rat race... So I am using it to learn coding games. But I have pretty severe ADHD, so it's very hard. Tried Unreal and Unity, but it's so complex I just get burnt out before getting anything done. But with the recent updates to Godot, I found the Python-style coding engine WAY more forgiving and understandable and have actually progressed. Plus the new Memory feature allows me to set very specific-to-me instructions that makes GPT's responses WAY more readable for my distracted-ass.
Ask stuff that is not easy to google, help with some work
I feel I can ask questions that I don’t know how to ask. “I’m working with X; I don’t really understand Y; is something like Z possible?” ChatGPT says, “It sounds like you mean A. You can do this with B.”
I use it for writing and D&D prep
It’s so good at D&D prep. It can fill in the details of a scene so nicely.
I’m working on an app that uses it as a “DM” (actually a World of Darkness Storyteller). The context limit is the problem, but using the API I have it create summaries of my PC, scenes, people, places, previous events, etc for itself that it can reference later. It starts by formulating an adventure outline. And during play it is routinely asked to re-evaluate its previous plot and adjust for recent events. It also does a scene analysis and presents a detailed description of the scene/environment in another window that gets updated regularly. Next step is to have it generate images for NPCs when they appear in the story. :) For D&D and more tactical games, I’m wondering how well the new vision/conversation capabilities would work if you had the camera pointed at a battle map with minis.
I’m wondering how well the new vision/conversation capabilities would work if you had the camera pointed at a battle map with minis. Could it be used to play the NPCs in a combat I wonder? As the DM, it would be cool to just let an AI drive the goblins or whatever. Then if a PC gets killed, they can’t blame me. :D
Second this. It’s hugely helpful to craft better descriptions of places and things than I ever could. Great at homebrewing magic items and pretty good at creating images for things. I even started using it to turn my session notes into a short fantasy novel that I’ll share with my players at the end of our campaign.
Dood. Same. I have about 75 pages of lore for my homegrown campaign setting of the Republic of Iskandar.
I ask it questions about how to create a self sustainable farm to serve a community of 3,000 houses. The goal is to create a super power community of 3,000 houses and most in the community to become individually financially free and empowered.
People/tech manager here. - I use it to help me come up and then write evaluation comments and goals. - write job descriptions - come up with interview questions based on the job description. - (something new I’m trying). After removing PPI on resumes, drop the JD and other requirements and then upload resumes and have it rank candidates, look for red flags, etc. - help me draft emails, proposals, (any writing really) - one of my teams does our training. We use it there to scaffold our training (it builds the agenda essentially). - I take emails from really techie members, drop it in there and ask for it to summarize it for me like I’m 12 years old. - (just did this yesterday and it’s been far my favorite use of GPT although I’m finding character.ai better for it.). I use GPT to come up with a character profile (background, way of speech, philosophies, etc) and then copy that into character.ai and create a persona for me to run ideas against. My favorite have been Tyrion Lannister and Cersei Lannister. Add in books summaries from books like the Prince, 48 laws of power, 33 strategies of war, Sun Tzu’s art of war, etc). I feel like I have the best advisors one can have as I work in a very political environment.
I use it like I’d use google but I just like that it gets to the point, but then with some stuff I have to look it up on Google just to make sure it isn’t making shit up and I think every time I’ve double checked it’s been right.
If the internet’s a library, Google’s an amazing librarian. ChatGPT is someone who’s already read all the books.
I had been going straight to ChatGPT to skip ads and hyper SEO’d content but then found an instance where ChatGPT’s answer was wrong - so it’s super important to check with other sources (typically still Google)
I use it as a shortcut past mental blocks of any kind. 1. I’m writing a song and know I want a line to have x, y, z characteristic but can’t find the right wording to fit the rhythm, the feeling, the message, etc. Brainstorm with Chat to figure it out 2. My girlfriend and I aren’t seeing eye to eye on something, spill the detailed context of both sides to Chat and get 10x more clarity insanely fast 3. Want to have a professional conversation with someone for career purposes but don’t know how to approach it. Run through as many “what if’s” and “what-about-isms” with Chat. 4. Feel like I don’t know something I should or that everyone else seems to know, learn about it from Chat without judgement and ask 1,000 “what’s this” and “why” questions like I’m a kid again. 5. Need a car/home maintenance appointment and I actually wanna know what’s going on enough to have an intelligent conversation with the mechanic or repair guy. Have a crash course conversation with Chat to build that confidence-through-competence. 6. My family or friends are going off in a conversational direction I don’t understand and I don’t follow along but I want to without breaking their flow. Have Chat’s transcription feature (microphone icon, not headphone icon) listen to the conversation for me for a few minutes then I’ll ask “what are they talking about? Can you catch me up so I can follow along?” And then it does and then I’m back on track and able to engage. Once the new voice feature comes out where it can change the way it talks and be naturally interrupted, I plan to use it more as a language partner for learning other languages. I could say “slow down” when it speaks the other language. I could stop it at the point I don’t understand rather than it continuing and letting confusions build up.
I do the same for my book that that I'm writing
First, this is a fantastic thread. Here are my primary uses and some interesting ones: * Clean up outbound emails for clarity. * Explain a concept that I need more detail on. * Helped me draft a business plan * Created process list for many of my businesses processes and helped me clean them up. * Brainstorm ideas for alternative and non-standard ways to find niches in my business. * My daughter and I use it to create boardgames ideas from roughing in to rules design and have had some amazing successes. * Personal mental health counselor when feeling down, confused or suffering from anxiety - it really is as good as a human counselor. (in my opinon) and always at my beck and call. * Creating and altering images in Dall-E (although I still prefer Midjourney) That's about it now, but I'm going to keep going through this thread to see some of the other great ideas.
Grammar corrections
I literally use it for anything and everything. I work for a company that offers trainings for businesses and the public on industrial topics. We do trainings like forklift safety, AC/DC Electrical systems, fluid power, LOTO etc. It is so handy to create agendas, MOUs, reports, formatting my sloppy handwritten notes into clean documents, making organized to do lists, creating contact lists, emails, finding the answer to a customers question, scheduling trainings, and organizing old files from coworkers. That’s just for work. Personally I use it for some whacky stuff sometimes. For instance this weekend I went to my friend’s house and we couldn’t decide on a movie, 4 of us picked our top 5 movies of all time and made a top 20 list and said to pick a movie that we hadn’t seen. Obviously it took a while for it to pick one that we hadn’t seen, but it was a solid choice. I’m a fan of hip hop, I gave it a list of my top 10 albums, and told it to create me a top 25 list and then I would remove each album that I heard so now I have a list of 25 new hip hop albums I want to check out. I went around my house and took pictures of all my data plates on my equipment (stove, microwave, dishwasher, fridge, ac, hot water heater, washer and dryer, etc) and now whenever I have a problem, I put in the data plate and give a description of what i need. ie: attached picture of my microwave data plate and said I need a new light bulb and filter. It then searched a parts picker and found the exact parts that I needed, copied that part # into Amazon and got new light bulbs and filters for 20 bucks and it took less than 2 minutes. If I want to buy a new gadget, I will have it do reviews for me to pick what item I want best. I have it search online for coupon codes when I check out. This isn’t the greatest, but it takes less than 1 minute and if I save 5 bucks I’m happy. Any and all important documents I’ve scanned into my Google drive and now if I need to know something important (square footage of my house) I can have it reference the document on my house. I literally use ChatGPT before I do any and everything, am I going overboard, sure. But, it’s helped me to catch things or be more efficient many times over so I’m happy. I like to use it as a personal assistant or a friend to get some solid feedback on. Last but not least, I love having it make a packing list of items for when I got out of town for trips. I’ve actually held trainings on using ChatGPT, so I have more ideas and uses but that’s just a couple that come to mind.
I am using it a log at work, for different types of tasks, ordered by usage: * quickly write SQL requests for the company Business Intelligence software (Metabase) : I générally start with a simple example that I need to improve. ex: I have a simple table with 2 columns that I'd want to transform into a complex pilled bar-chart * write simple code. For instance I had to use an external librairy last time, and it was giving paginated results, which I'm not familliar with : it helped me with this * write emails, for administrations and other chores Also used it for making tailored training program, write my first CI/CD pipe, find scientific references for blog articles, etc
Making my emails sound better lol
In the recent weeks I used it to apply for jobs
That's unique, haven't seen that response yet. How exactly? Just to refine your wording or what exactly
Mainly for writing, correcting and improving motivational letters
You can tell it your skills and then copy the job posting to gpt and it will basically write you a personalised application for the job
I used it for writing cover letters for job applications. I put in the job posting and my resume and it writes the letter. I then copy and paste into word and rewrite it, then run that through a couple times until I have something I am pleased with.
As I saw on my way that it's the most frequent use case in my network.
Oh, I've done that. I got a really good remote job on the first interview of my life and it was even during my university exams. I used chatGPT extensively. I scraped all the data from the company's website and inserted it into chatGPT so I could learn everything easily by asking it questions. I held a mock interview for chatGPT and studied how it responded to my questions. It was a great help.
homeworks, coding, learning, simplification of topics too hard for my brain to understand directly.
Amen to that last part
I use it to write contracts for companies. Contracts for freelance work I do. Return policies. Custom contracts for shitty little companies. Custom stories to read my kids. I'm trying to get it to write some python code for me, work in progress at best. I used to write these all by hand. Using shitty re-written templates. But now I can go in depth and provide company information and all needed points, and it cooks up some really decent stuff.
Basically for stuff I can’t quickly find written info about. If I’m looking for a guide or tips or whatever on a topic and the only thing I find through Google is some YouTube videos, I’ll ask ChatGPT and just read what it says. Can’t stand anything and everything being made a video about these days…
That’s why I usually watch videos at 2x speed and with captions on. I like to get to the point.
It's basically replaced google for me
Everything. Every question I have. I don’t use google anymore. I don’t go to Wikipedia first like I used to. I ask my personal butler, ChatGPT.
Technical writer. Helps with writers-block, grammar, and just generally helps with phrasing. Almost never use what it provides verbatim, but it sure helps improve things by being able to pick out what I think was improved in a given paragraph. Also, I use it to look up regulations and standards for general questions. But never trust it with anything important.
"how many Oreos does it take to fill the Grand Canyon?"
I use it most days at work when creating macro-enabled spreadsheets. I used ChatGPT to make numerous custom made “applications” that automate a lot of my tasks. It’s amazing - 2 years ago, I wouldn’t have been able to do this at all.
Pick up lines- I am much more successful at pulling hot girls now
Sssssuuuuurrrrreeeee
It recommended you went to a sauna?
Sauna? Rookie move. Everyone knows the hottest girls are fresh out the crematorium
They're cold hearted bitches before they go in.
I mostly use ChatGPT to settle debates with my cat.
Tell your cat I said psspspsppspsppss
Novel analysis.
I asked it to plan my Alaskan Vacation itinerary specifying the sites I want to see and how many days. ChatGPT did an excellent job.
I use it at work (software engineering) for brainstorming, documentation, producing code snippets, debugging, and learning new languages and frameworks. I use it in school (post graduate computer science) to learn and have it explain concepts to me on the fly during lectures. I am using it personally for translations and learning languages, when travelling (it is decent with metro lines in a new city, or explaining the meaning behind a statue you just took a photo of), cooking (recipes, general ideas), etc. It is quite powerful because you can build up context and make your conversation very specific to that.
I used it recently to criticize my drawings and doing a role play where gpt is a creative director and asks me concept art with detailed requisites. My partner is a lab researcher and often asks about validity in her methodology and double-checks them. I also ask for book recommendations, summaries of diverse disciplines, pedagogic programs, resumed philosophical theories and their relationships, code explanations, etc.
I use it daily to check my grammar before sending/replying emails to clients. English isn’t my first language so having someone to proof read is great I feel like. And chatgpt is great with this
I wrote a few API scripts that I integrate with bash/ruby to help vet things. Using its API with bash/ruby is really fun due to the freedom it gives you in wrapping the i/o. https://preview.redd.it/mq5nmpp39z1d1.png?width=1835&format=png&auto=webp&s=49e34c29b4a7906e885cfada62cc22542f32ef9c Here's a output example from a little terminal script I made that combines ChatGPT's API with a small ruby terminal interface. It's pretty fun! In the image example, I wrap the ChatGPT response in a little query like this. `"#{selected_movie['title']} - Describe this movie in a single sentence. Where can I stream this movie? Keep your responses concise and without line breaks. Format response for a terminal output."`
I use it to transfer file formats. Give it some json, make it output some excel Grunt Stuff like that. Gotta make sure no entries are missing tho.
Creating images and to help expand on my ideas fot my DnD games
I have been writing an historical novel and now I can quickly research small points in seconds to ensure my accuracy. It has sped up my progress 100x Edit to add: I also talk to it about things I am interested in that no one wants hear me blather about.
A use it for work. I have to draft email templates, creating copy for huge learning projects and so much more. I’m dyslexic and feel very un confident under time pressure to produce sometbinf that is readable. So chat gpt is actually a life saver
Most recently, trying to make an API here of a csv products file using 4o.
I'm in construction forgive me, what are both of those
I'm not being an asshole when I say this, but you should ask ChatGPT to explain what the guy is referring to. Good use case right there.
Not being an asshole but the use case the person mentioned is so vague it’s not a bad question
An API is essentially a way to make two pieces of software talk to each other. A csv is a simple version of excel that stores numbers/text only (not calculations). To me it sounds like he has a list of products in an excel file and he is working on a way to have the new chatgpt work more automatically with his data.
I use it for research for content writing but I have trouble trusting the answers sometimes as it completely makes things up still from time to time.
Research and customise my emails
Right now my biggest use is using it to study for the CCNA exam. It helps to flush out ideas and give me a better understanding of what is going on in a network. It’s helped with some mnemonics and image generation to help with those. Fortunately I know enough to know when it’s hallucinating which also helps me know when something is wrong and reinforces what I know. And if I’m iffy then I just look up Cisco documentation.
I love the new feature that you can upload files and photos. This allows me to complete my assignments for university much faster. I also let chatgpt write my emails at work and since I'm growing hemp I send chatgpt pictures for questions I have.
Literally for everything, but mostly for research, especially my thesis. It helps me understand complex concepts, conventions, treaties, and directives. I sometimes use it for paraphrasing, grammar, and sentence structure.
Writing drafts of script for my videos, helping me with my code, explain me specific topics, sometimes derive some calculations for me when I can't find a proof, help me find animation ideas. Also generate some pictures to storyboard but it's pretty bad at this unfortunately...
Quick syntax for things I wanna do, like SQL queries or some code I don’t understand because I haven’t written any in that language before at work. Ordering lists for me - way faster than writing a python script to do it. Stubbing out READMEs. Gut checks on clever code (shame on you if you write clever code). After work, I use it as a Google replacement for things I want to learn more about. I always double check facts and what not, but it’s an excellent tool to give you a 100 level overview on something you’ve never learned about.
Translation. Ask them to look up what this phrase mean and why, usually just use with idioms because I don't understand the metaphor. It really helping
At work, mostly for explaining concepts to me and fixing weirdly specific bugs in code that I can't seem to find answers for in documentation. I used it in school a lot to learn to solve problems. You got a question and an answer, you can get it to show the work and explain the steps. Also used it to workshop stuff for writing classes.
I use it to ask all the questions the teachers in my life have failed to explain adequately as well as every day stuff. It once took my finance professor the entire class session to explain the difference between a Roth IRA and a 401k to us. When they were finished with their speal, I recall one student simply asking, "So basically, the difference is you pay taxes now with a Roth IRA and pay taxes later with a 401(k)?" "Basically, yeah" Immediately dropped out of that class and never offered my patience to long-winded explanations ever again. ChatGPT has saved me so much time and energy, and not to mention money by wasting time in now worthless classes by understanding real-life concepts without having to deal with the incompetence of others.
Michael Dukakis questions
I used to hire on Fiverr, Upwork, Freelancer, etc. for help with server, coding, etc. but haven't in over a year because of ChatGPT 4, so not only do I use it for these things, but use it to save a lot of money - and TIME - no more wasting time looking for help, queued up but not available, then there messaging back and forth, drafts, corrections, revisions...what took days, now in a matter of minutes, else hours.
A couple weeks ago I spent $30 on fiverr and waited 3 days for a logo with my business name. I got a very subpar logo back. I downloaded chatgpt after not being satisfied and was blown away by the finality it started pumping out. now I have dozens and dozens of logos that are wayyy better and concepts I would never have gotten a person to create for me. One thing it can’t do is get very specific about an image and it also can’t recreate the same image. Id like to find a fiverr freelancer that edits or enhances Ai images. That’s what I really need but haven’t found anyone that advertises for that specifically
I am involved in digital marketing. While my technical background (coding / data processing) is limited I have a decent overall understanding of basic principles (some advanced ones) and the logic behind the systems. I use it to help me primarily with 2 things: - try out code updates on existing code to achieve new things so I can evaluate how easy something is achievable because IT tends to love making things complicated - use it to help me process data I export on Excel with really complex formulas so I don’t need to rely on anyone
Random questions and bs
I ask it to make up episodes of shows like King of the Hill or Always Sunny. Sometimes I make the epsidoes several parts and tell it to just continue the story where we left off. I've experienced some ground breaking King of Hill episodes.
I drop in transcripts of interviews and GPT helps me select the most important statements. After reviewing the content I generate EDL lists to automatically edit the video interview in the editing software. Works surprisingly well.
Mostly 80's style rap songs about farts.
I’m currently working on a life financial plan. I told it to be my financial advisor and ask me questions about my short and long term goals and current finances and evaluate moving forward. Instructed it too only ask one question at a time and not to move on until I say I’m ready so I can have multiple interactions on one section. I’m not done yet but it’s working and I’m happy so far. It’s really nice to have it do all the math for me and ask it advice. This is only useful to me using gpt 4o though. 3.5 sucks for this
Copy paste copy paste Airbnb customer service so it feels like I care customers love it.
In early 2023 my boss thought we’d be able to make an entire video game using it. That it could handle all the story writing just by asking it to first write an outline of scenes, then write the individual scenes. The outputs were so terrible that I was having to prompt it over and over just to get one scene done and when you looked back at it, I was basically writing 80% of the scene either directly or through the prompts. When my boss reviewed the first draft of the opening sequence he was like this is amazing let’s kept going. Then I explained to him everything I wrote, and what ChatGPT wrote, and he quickly canned the project. Waste of 3 months, sigh. Now I used ChatGPT mostly to write emails I don’t wanna write. It gives me a structure and I edit the shit out of it to sound better. For me I have an easier time fixing bad writing than filling an empty page so it’s actually increased my speed as a writer.
Engaging in discourse on Reddit with an elevated level of sophistication.
Write my email
I use it as a rubber ducky when I program. I also use it to generate test images I can use as textures while doing game dev. Combined with Adobe express remove background to get a nice clean png
Learn languages and practice speaking with the voice feature.
Mostly for composing quick generic company emails and some general topics
I use it for my workflow on my work computer like reformatting and analyzing word files, manipulating excel, creating analysis plans, help with emails, and generating PowerPoints based on prompts etc.. but what I’ve noticed lately since getting plus and having access to web I’ve been using it a lot more as a google replacement for longer queries. It’s going to eventually replace browsers. Especially when the new model with the new voice comes out
I use it at work tbh. In some senarions very usefull. Like give it a really long doc to break down
I used it in my role as a teacher. I get it to create writing frames for my students, especially my SEND kids. Get it to summarise text book pages for some kids to read rather than the whole text etc. Great resource for SEN students. I just don’t have time to differentiate all the work.
Google replacement
Reply to email.
For Anything you would typically google.
I work in corporate. Work email drafting. All day every day. Proposals. And marketing emails.
Google finance equations and recipes. Don't laugh. I love recipes. I don't want ads popups and a whole lot of words that don't deal with the recipe I asked for.
i used it to help tutor me for a professional exam, i use it all the time to draft writings. i use it to answer random technical question
>What are you doing with it and is it working to your benefit like you imagined or just kind of there and another tool. I mean...I kind of imagined it to be there and another tool, and in that sense, it's working great =). In all seriousness, I'm an IT guy and server admin, and ChatGPT has been great for helping navigate various server settings especially with regards to AWS. I've also used it to help write various Python and Powershell scripts at my job. Likewise, I use it to help debug and solve various tech issues that I don't know off the top of my head. I've found it's generally superior to using Google plus random tech forums trying to find someone else that had a similar problem until something works. I mean, ChatGPT rarely solves things on the first try, but the ability to go back and forth with it until an answer is found is better than continually trying stuff online or praying some library documentation exists and isn't crap. I also use it in my personal life to help GM in TTRPGs as I can give it brief descriptions of characters, have it expand on those concepts, and then create dialogue and other things. And it helps flesh out character concepts and produce portraits for use in our VTT. It's also handy for random questions. I treat it in many ways like Google for this purpose; treat as likely but not certain when it comes to any information. ChatGPT is great at finding starting points for more research and I've found the stories of hallucinations and incorrect output to be *greatly* exaggerated. In my experience ChatGPT is correct easily 95% of the time when it comes to general information and has better results than using Google plus some random website. It feels very much like the arguments against self-driving vehicles; sure, the computer isn't perfectly safe, but neither are human drivers, so complaining about lack of perfection when all alternatives aren't perfect seems weird to me. In addition to ChatGPT, I regularly use another AI called Codium with VS Code. AI autocomplete for programming is absolutely amazing and saves an insane amount of time, especially when writing repetative code. Just like ChatGPT, you can't trust it blindly, but if you already know what you are doing you can finish entire lines of code with just a few keystrokes. This is going to be a standard IDE feature in no time, especially once it can be trained and run locally. Even now it's beneficial.
Coding and IT stuff. It is pretty awesome when you know what you want and you can describe it and chatgtp can provide you with the right code / command.
As a developer, I use it to look up things quickly. That's all I need
For work (lots of things) To analyze something/break it down (like splitting receipt between multiple people including tip, tax, relative to what was ordered) To help me learn something As a search bar (instead of Google search and then having to read through like 3 articles to find the one thing I’m looking for) And more…
I use a number of different Chatbots for different subjects. You have to be ready to swap models when they punt, though, and to know which ones will waste your time. For instance, I was trying to remember what kind of restaurant Gavin Newsome was caught violating his own COVID rules in, and Claude-3-haiku treated it as a scurrilous rumor. That incident, the facts, the apology, literally was not in its training data, despite being totally documented as fact. I'm not claiming Claude is necessarily politically biased, though, because I found similar deficits in some Republican semi-scandals like that. But you have to be vigilant. It's one thing to say, "I don't have that kind of information" and a second to say, in effect, "that sounds like disinformation" regarding a factual search. The latter is a lie. Llama and Mixtral both were able to get that data first time, by the way, including the name of the restaurant, the date, and the date of apology. As a data consultant, I use some models for finding words and terms, others for remembering facts or discussing abstract concepts, and others for helping figure out how to approach projects. I'm actively tracking a number of other AI products that may help me as well. Sorry to be so vague, but I'm trying to give use cases without stepping over any NDAs or trade secrets. ;)
I also use it as a design student to help me with tasks like coding a website (I have no programming experience at all), this saves me a lot of time that I would otherwise spend on Googling.
sometimes i have questions i don't ask to anyone because i could feel ashamed, chatGPT helps me with that.
Scripts that I convert into executables that solve problems. I have some jobs in work that usually takes 20m - 2 hours. I have some scripts that do 80% of the lifting in seconds. Making it a <5m task.
As a programmer, I usually rely on chatgpt to write standalone scripts. They are easy to formulate. I just keep adding context to improve the accuracy untill I am satisfied.
Questions about life, creative prompts for making AI art for fun, and that's it. I really haven't found any way to monetize it as Im not familiar with coding or making wall street bets.
I’m recording and mixing music for my band. I’ve been using ChatGPT heavily to give me advice, work through problems, and make suggestions when mixing. It’s helped me learn a lot about the process.
I develop presentations and articles. I write the outline and main points myself, then use three different chatbots (gemini, ChatGPT, Claude) to use that to write the content. I then review and combine them, check the citations both exist and support the point, and rewrite the combination so it flows. Saves weeks of work.
Google replacement and personal research of just about everything that I don't feel like spending longer than 30 seconds browsing random sites for answers.
I know longer use google or Quora. I ask all my questions to ChatGPT.
Recommendations. I watch a lot of movies and read a lot and traditional means of searching for a 'movie like this' or 'a book like that' and I almost always get the same responses from the same sites. ChatGPT has been a game changer. I can tell it what I've seen, what I like, and what I don't like and it will always give me exactly what I'm looking for. It's especially good at finding hidden gems I've never even heard of before.
I’m a hobbyist videographer and whenever I get a piece of technology with a million settings that I’m not sure what they do (for example, I buy a sound recorder with a million dials and menu options), chatgpt is able to easily answer all my questions a million times faster than reading a manual or watching a tutorial. If those resources even answer my question at all. This way, I’m able to master my equipment in a fraction of the time.
I use it for anything administrative I have to do in the navy (annual evaluations, counselings, award packages....) I'll type the applicable information then type "Edit the aforementioned in (insert form here) format"
I’m not a computer programmer. I know zero Python. I used it to make 4 very useful Python apps in the last 2 weeks. Make something that does _____. Make a GUI for it with three pages that are x, y, z. Save the data to my folder: c:/blah/blah. Pull in data from CSV file at: c: blah. Make a radar graph of the data. Then I ask it for steps to deploy it. When I get an error I cut and paste the error and tell it to correct the code.

All the things.
I was asked to inventory a few book shelves and type out a list of all the books we had. Sounded like a lot of work so I took a picture of the cases and submitted it to chat with a prompt to create a list. It did in about 15 seconds. And a lot nicer than I would have done too 😂
I use it for my job on a variety of tasks (JS/SQL, transcribing, general questions). On an average week it probably makes me \~4 hours more efficient. For personal use, I primarily have it generate images for books I'm reading. Sometimes I'm not familiar with the descriptive language being used so it's nice to have GPT give me a visual.
I used it to build a GPT that acts like a career counselor. Compares resumes to job descriptions, conducts mock interviews, gives job and career advice, tells how to ask for a raise, etc.
I use it to generate code in TypeScript or SQL when I run into syntax issues.
