How do I get the most out of AI?

[Anonymous]

Can anyone share how they have used AI in their work, life, etc? Recommendations?

I've used all types of AI. Trying to see if it's worth buying ChatGPT and how other people are using it.

AI seems to have the most value in helping to comb through large amounts of information and generate simple drafts of basic communications - something to get you off the page. At the same time, it misses all kinds of nuance and hallucinates things. In my own life I don’t trust it more than as a start on what a personal assistant or intern might do.

Some people swear by it, but it seems to me like many of those people didn’t have top notch thinking skills to begin with. Brains are use it or lose it. There is no substitute for human thought than human thinking.

I try to minimize use of AI due to negative impact on resources (real content creators, high energy use - avoid AI for videos/images, etc.), but sometimes it’s useful.

Read this on a Reddit thread and I think it helps to enter as your very first prompt:

“The only thing that I find helps, and hasn’t been mentioned from what I see, is designating a character in the prompt. Ie:

‘You are Mike, a world renown specialist in (TOPIC). You have been passionate about this topic your entire life, went to Stanford to study, and now have dedicated your life’s work to (TOPIC).’”

Reddit makes A.I. look like a super genius by comparison.

My boomer 78 yr old dad uses it all the time to run searches for him. "How are fog and humidity different?" "What kind of jacket to wear on Alaska cruise in May?"

He freaking loves it, and can't stop telling everyone he gets his information from ChatGPT.

That’s hilarious. It is good for these basic informational type questions. Though I agree with a PP upthread, that it hallucinates information often. It once told me a book doesn’t exist— I corrected it and it was like “oh right here it is” and proceeded with more inaccurate details. It gives a good bare bones skeleton for ideas and prompts.

someone should let him know that ChatGPT is a completely unreliable source for factual knowledge
