Chat GPT: How Are You Using It?

[n_huffhines]

I gotta get more clever about how I use this technology. It's amazing. So far....

- I've been using it to write ad copy
- I used it to write a living will
- I used it to diagnose weird rib pain. *
- my brother-in-law used it to give him instructions for tearing down his engine in his Scout.

What are you guys using it for?

*My doctor said it was probably a muscle pull after eliminating other things. I didn't ask all the right questions in the moment, but with hindsight I was wondering why it doesn't hurt to cough or twist. I tried to Google all kinds of things, and just got scary BS back. I had a convo with Chat GPT and it gave me 4 explanations of what it could be, and this is what it told me:

If you're experiencing rib pain specifically around the area of ribs 10 to 12, and it occurs at random times but doesn't worsen with coughing or stretching, it could be attributed to several potential causes, including:

1. Rib subluxation: This refers to a partial dislocation of the rib joint where the rib connects to the spine. Rib subluxation can cause localized pain that may occur randomly, and the absence of pain during coughing or stretching is not uncommon.
2. Intercostal muscle strain: The intercostal muscles are located between the ribs, and strain or injury to these muscles can result in pain. This type of pain can manifest at various times and may not necessarily worsen with coughing or stretching.
3. Nerve irritation: As mentioned earlier, irritation or compression of the nerves near the ribs, such as intercostal neuralgia, can cause pain. This pain can be intermittent and may not be triggered by coughing or stretching.
4. Costovertebral joint dysfunction: The costovertebral joints are the joints where the ribs attach to the vertebrae in the spine. Dysfunction in these joints can lead to pain in the corresponding area. The pain may be sporadic and not necessarily exacerbated by coughing or stretching.

Since I am not a medical professional, I strongly recommend consulting with a healthcare provider for a proper evaluation and diagnosis. They can perform a thorough examination, review your medical history, and order any necessary tests or imaging studies to determine the underlying cause of your symptoms and recommend appropriate treatment.

It's definitely 2 or 3 because it's not near my spine, and I'm relieved that it didn't give me any of the scary options that Google was throwing out there.

I’ve never used it but have read a lot of the coverage the media has given it. Sounds like a powerful tool. Is it a piece of hardware you purchase and then subscribe to access the info? How exactly does it work?

 

[GASOUTHERNVOL]

I am using to write APIs and cut down on dev costs. There needs to be a bit of QA on it, but it does most of the legwork.

It has also done a great job with copy as well.

Also, it told my son how many washing machines you would need to stack to get to the moon.

I've used it for interview questions for my podcast, but mostly I use it for writing social media or email newsletter copy.

I asked it how to answer this question.




A thread on the message board volnation.com is discussion how to best use ChatGPT. What is a good suggestion for the demographic that typically uses that particular site?


For the demographic that typically uses volnation.com, which is a message board primarily focused on University of Tennessee sports, a good suggestion for effectively using ChatGPT could be:

1. Discussion on game analysis and strategy: Encourage users to discuss game performances, analyze plays, and strategize for upcoming matches. ChatGPT can provide insights, statistics, and help generate ideas for game plans based on historical data.
2. Recruiting updates and predictions: Given the interest in college sports, users can utilize ChatGPT to discuss and predict potential recruits, their skills, and their potential impact on the team. ChatGPT can provide information on top recruits, their rankings, and insights into their playing styles.
3. Injury updates and player news: Users can utilize ChatGPT to stay up-to-date with the latest injury reports, player transfers, and other team news. ChatGPT can provide information on player performances, injury recovery timelines, and potential replacements.
4. Fan discussions and debates: ChatGPT can facilitate lively discussions and debates about team-related topics, such as coaching decisions, player performance, and game strategies. Users can engage with ChatGPT to share opinions, analyze different perspectives, and contribute to the overall fan community.
5. Historical moments and traditions: ChatGPT can assist in reminiscing about memorable games, historical moments, and traditions associated with University of Tennessee sports. Users can ask questions about past achievements, iconic players, or share personal anecdotes, allowing ChatGPT to provide relevant information and enhance the nostalgic conversations.

Remember, while ChatGPT can provide valuable information and generate discussions, it's important to verify the accuracy of the information it provides as it may not have access to real-time data beyond its knowledge cutoff date.

Free app or go to website. Make sure it's OpenAI chatgpt. Just log in with Gmail and go. There is an upgraded version for $20/monthly

If you sign up for pro, you get access to APPs and a version 4 that can access internet links. It is more useful that way but it is still a long way from search the whole internet and then do analysis.

What I find it very useful for is to SYNTHESIZE. So I take 3 or 4 snippets of thought I have noted down and then I put those into it and ask it to give a synthesized answer using the references provided as well as its own training base for that subject. Then I tend to get nice results that I can do a brief edit on and be done. Saves much time.

Would you mind giving an example of how you’ve used this? Having trouble envisioning how is use that feature. Thanks

I really don't like that the company started it as non profit and then greed set in when it hit media and the marketers took over. It will be an afterthought once the big dogs get going with their algorithmic servers, I mean AI.

 

[Hoosier_Vol]

I'm not

 

[Majors]

I use it for direction on ideas, quick hits of information and for sending funny poems to my wife.

I was invested in C3.AI early but opted to go only with NVDA.

 

[Halph66]

I author a lot of technical write ups for presentations to customers. I use Chat GTP to assist with technical definitions. I typically alter the final product, but it does a pretty good job of providing well versed definitions.

Greed is definitely a big risk at a non-profit, too, but I'll die on this hill...profitability is the single best incentive for progress. It's not perfect. It doesn't always make things better, but we all know that altruism has proven to lead to disaster, too.

I don't mind it making money, I just think it's a bad sign they switched stances for no apparent reason. They had Elon Musk backing them until they made it closed source and for profit. That should be a sign there. TBH I don't trust anything coming out of San Francisco. That place is a nightmare right now. Anyone making decisions from that place is making the wrong ones, their city is like zombieland.

The reason I heard was that they decided it was the only way they could scale it to meet market demands. Apparently, the hosting and hardware costs for these computations are astronomical. Fundraising is way easier for for-profit ventures.

Eh, yeah after the worlds richest man bounced because of corporate decisions. I could see how they needed(wanted?) money. That's sign, a huge sign. I do not trust these guys.

Elon bounced to start his own competitor and he's so far behind them he was pushing for the government to step in and pause AI use so he can catch up.

You ever think maybe Elon left because it wasn't for-profit? Why's he sinking his fortune into that? That's not how he operates. He's a welfare queen who takes money.

Unless I'm mistaken Elon said it himself. I think it was more about the open-source but I don't recall clearly. Anyway, I don't know or go out of my way to know Elon. I'm not a celebrity watcher so I don't try to understand his thoughts. I do see that all his businesses succeed so, when he backs out of a business he helped create. It's a bad sign. It's really all irrelevant anyway, this company will be swallowed soon. Very soon.

It’s great as a helper to learn any programming language. From introductory concepts to more advanced things and even specific functionality within a python library for example. Crazy how you could spend all day trying to figure out things with google before and now you can just type in a question and chatgpt will get you where you need to be in seconds.

Travel ability and knowledge has greatly increased. Just like God said it would!!

I use it when I get stuck writing a script for an automated task. GPT is pretty good with PowerShell

 

[BenGrimm]

I use it for copy but always end up editing for a more human sound.

Tried having it make simple plugins for Wordpress but it’s always just a little bit off from what I’m wanting.

I use it to ask how to protect myself when it uploads itself into satellites and begins producing T-100s after dropping the bomb.

Yeah, I have GPT do the initial draft, quick edit it with Grammarly, and then skim over it to change a few things to put it in more personable language.

GPT likes to write really long sentences but users and Googlebot don't like them.
