How do you use ChatGPT to make your life easier?

So in Santa Fe it was never pulling up the best place we saw which was Plaza Blanca. It was giving us only the big established stuff like Bandelier and we loved but I could put that on without GPTs help! You really need a wide knowledge based on experiences to do a travel itinerary based on your personality and interests - GPT can never replace a local to tell you where to go under the radar and the unique places you would love because AI isn't advanced enough to retain that kind of knowledge. Maybe one day but not yet. Kind of like self driving cars v what we have today where they can definitely support your driving to help make it easier but not replace a driver altogether. The prob is people are so lazy they don't want to use their brains for anything anymore!

Wrong.

You're not using it correctly then.

No, I think I was just getting by fine without it. These so-called advances in technology are making life much, much worse in my opinion.

You wash your clothes by hand too?

Some of them, sure. I still like to walk or bike some places. And write lists down on paper. And get together with people in person. Machines and technology have a place, but I don’t need them to replace every single bit of effort and thinking for me.

You use washing machine, an oven, a grill, a dishwasher, a car, a phone, a computer… Don’t act like you are little house on the Prairie.

Reality is you don’t know how to use ChatGPT.

You don’t even sound like you you have a job.

lol, what? It’s either Little House on the Prairie or worship at the altar of AI? Nothing in between?

I have a great job, thanks. I actually left my previous job partially because so many of the morons I worked with were using ChatGPT for every single little thing, and the results were terrible. It was seriously embarrassing.

I write this into ChatGPT ... write this email to be more professional then I write my email once without editing it. takes me about 5 minutes for very complex emails.

ChatGPT edits and formats it

I then read through edit a few words and send, takes 10 minutes for an email that usually takes about 30 minutes.

I have asked to provide executive summaries for very complex engineering outages, it takes me <20 minutes what would have taken 2 hours in the past.

So using ChatGPT is "worshiping the alter of AI" or .. it's using a technology that performs tasks that I now don't have to do. Nothing in between?

You sound seriously too ignorant to understand how to use ChatGPT. You are seriously embarrassing.

Who uses typewriters anyway. lol

Keep fighting the good fight with me!

To me, so far, AI produces averagely bland information. I did get it to write some acceptable poems but so what? I don't need AI poems.

I have it make pictures for me - to see what it will make. But don't need them either.

I would maybe use it more if I was tired and in a hurry. But I get paid to think carefully about things.

So you used ChatGPT to make things you don't want or need and thought wow this is useless.

think carefully about that.

For brainstorming. So helpful!

Whether I buy some gardening books, google it, or go to a class - the outcome is the same. Someone else explains to me where to plant things and why. ChatGPT does the exact same thing, but in a few seconds. Googling each and every plant to see what conditions it needs is a complete waste of time.

People have limited time and brainpower. Freeing up some of that allows you to dedicate it elsewhere. It's not lazy, it's smart.

NP but please tell us where you dedicate your precious, limited brainpower. I’m sure your answer will be fascinating.

I’m with the other posters who think ChatGPT is completely stupid and people who use it are some combination of irredeemably lazy and/or utter morons.

Curious, how long have you been in your profession? If it’s been more than about six months, why the hell are you incapable of writing an email?

And do you even understand what ChatGPT is spitting out for your engineering problem summaries? I’m guessing that you don’t.

PP. I "experimented" with it, because my employer encourages it.

It can't do my actual job because it can't integrate across my data sources.

I am a fast and accurate writer. I don't need help formulating and organizing my thoughts.

I tried a couple of other experiments...product naming and logo design. These were moderately useful. But that's not my function.

25 years, I work on complex matters. I'm not writing .. Hey Jane, Lunch at 12 isn't gonna work, how about 12:30.

I writing about upgrades of major systems. Yes, I understand it. You don't seem to understand it.

It's sad that luddites are so common for youngsters.

I'm not waiting hours for you to read and re-read and re-edit your work. Your fired!

Again you used it for something you don't need and don't understand the value.

Too much "thinking" ... use it for your own project and see how much faster you complete it.

The thing is you like to write and you see yourself being replaced. It doesn't do that, it doesn't replace you, it's a tool.
