"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?
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.
