How has ChatGPT improved your life?

[Anonymous]

How have you used ChatGPT to improve your home life? Or office life? Looking for concrete ways to use this technology.

I use it to write Airbnb and VRBO reviews as a host and guest; email drafts especially when I'm upset and want to be tactful in my communication. I have professor friends who use it to dumb down complex text, etc.

I use it to kill the misery of a blank sheet of paper. So if I have to write a proposal about black bears in the deep dark woods, for example, I say ChatGPT tell me about black bears ITDDW, and then I take the bits out that I like and use them as a starting point. The end never looks anything like what ChatGPT suggested, but nothing is more soul killing than 1 sorry looking sentence on a blank sheet of paper.

The chatgpt lawyer lawsuit was HILARIOUS. I don’t use it myself.

I use it to make bedtime stories for my kids. They give me a general idea of a topic they want a story about and then I add in a bit of details/instructions (like make it a silly story or whatever) and then we read it together.

I’ve also used it for travel. Like give me some ideas of family friendly things to do in Hilton Head in April.

I use it in leiu of google. it's very good at laying out things that you might want to consider, ti's not as helpful at making decisions, but Google is now a cesspool of sponsored links and SEO-optimized websites. ChatGPT is much more efficient.

I, my husband, and I use it pretty frequently. Here are our recent questions:

"I have a list of 80 words in Excel. Each word is in its own row. All words are in the same column. I need to convert the list of words to a single string of text that combines all of the words and places the word "OR" between each word, with a space on each side of the word "OR." Is there a quick way to do this in Excel?"

"Make an image of 2016 makeup." (this was mine, it was hilarious.)

[Image upload of a plant from our yard] "What plant is this?"

"Which mascaras are on my safe shopping list?" (I have skin allergies and using chatgpt is actually the easiest way to keep track of what I can and can't use.)

"How to rationalize the denominator when the denominator is a fourth root"

"the elements of establishing personal jurisdiction in a civil case in Texas."

"Create an obfuscated C# code example." (DS is really into coding and uses chatGPT all the time).

My son is really into AI and he uses the openAI API a lot. The API doesn't have the same restrictions that Chatgpt and the stuff he does on the API is pretty hilarious. Recently he had it write me a manipulative message to convince me to buy some apple home pods. It said things like "if you want the best for your son, you will buy an apple home pod" and "they're on sale for a limited time!" He has also gotten really good at making custom GPTs give up their prompts. Obviously none of this is necessary for a regular adult but it's really fun for an 11-year old.

Lawyer here. I wouldn't rely on ChatGPT for this. But I'm old and set in my ways with regard to legal research. I guess people are using it for this?

I use it for Excel spreadsheet help, legal and medical questions, email refining, all sorts of things. Love it.

Oh you don't *rely* on it. ChatGPT hallucinates all the time. But it's an excellent place to get started, and with a question as simple as that, I am guessing it's more likely to be right than google is.

That said, Westlaw, LexisNexis, etc are already using AI. I would be surprised if law firms with big clients could stay competitive without incorporating AI in some way. Chat GPT won't be the vehicle but don't get too comfortable with the way you're practicing law.

I'm an attorney and have tried it several times when I needed to write an email to which I already knew the answer but thought ChatGPT would write the email more quickly. It did write it more quickly but got the analysis wrong every time. (Not some times, every time.)

Do you use the app? Is it paid?

How can you use it to help with spreadsheet?

As a teacher, I hate it. It is ruining kids.

I've used it to medically diagnose my 80yo mother's latest issue that sent her to the hospital, while the ER docs were too busy wanting to run unnecessary invasive procedures on a woman with a heart condition. I fed in the scenario and asked "if you were the doctor evaluating this woman, what would you do and what invasive procedure is truly required." It gave me the answer and then when I went back to the ER doctors with a different line of questioning and testing which led to them finding the issue with my mother (as suggested by ChatGPT).
