How do you use ChatGPT to make your life easier?

Congratulations on being able to write “our family is thinking of you and keeping us in your prayers” 3000 times over and over again.

Bad bot 🤖

I just fired a person who was using this to "write" at work. Garbage.

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.

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.

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!

LOL this is a great joke

Dear ChatGPT: What are 10 non-touristy places to see sandstone cliffs near santa fe

If you're looking for less touristy spots to explore sandstone cliffs around Santa Fe, here are ten places that offer stunning natural beauty without the crowds:

1. Ojito Wilderness (near San Ysidro)
Description: This remote wilderness area features striking sandstone formations, hoodoos, and petrified wood. The area is known for its solitude and wide-open spaces.
2. Plaza Blanca (near Abiquiu)
Description: Known as the “White Place,” this area inspired Georgia O’Keeffe’s paintings. It’s a hidden gem with white sandstone cliffs and unique rock formations.
3. Ghost Ranch – Kitchen Mesa Trail (near Abiquiu)
Description: While Ghost Ranch is well-known, the Kitchen Mesa Trail is less frequented. This hike offers panoramic views of red sandstone cliffs and a peaceful atmosphere.
4. Galisteo Basin Preserve
Description: A lesser-known area with hiking and biking trails that wind through sandstone hills and cliffs. It’s a great spot for solitude and observing wildlife.
5. San Ysidro Trails
Description: Located near the village of San Ysidro, these trails offer access to colorful sandstone cliffs, mesas, and unique geological formations. It’s a quiet spot for exploration.
6. Rito de los Frijoles Canyon (Bandelier National Monument, off the main trail)
Description: Venture off the main trails in Bandelier to discover secluded sandstone cliffs and cave dwellings. The canyon offers a peaceful retreat from the busier areas of the park.
7. Abiquiu Reservoir
Description: The area around the reservoir is dotted with sandstone cliffs and mesas. Explore the lesser-known trails around the lake for solitude and scenic views.
8. Rio Chama Wilderness
Description: Accessible by boat or a remote hike, this area offers stunning sandstone cliffs along the Rio Chama River. It’s perfect for those seeking an off-the-beaten-path adventure.
9. Chaco Culture National Historical Park (farther from Santa Fe)
Description: While not entirely off the radar, certain areas of Chaco are less visited. The park is home to impressive sandstone cliffs and ancient ruins, and with some exploration, you can find secluded spots.
10. Cabezon Peak (near Cuba, NM)
Description: This volcanic plug is surrounded by sandstone formations and cliffs. The area is remote and offers challenging hikes with rewarding views of the surrounding landscape.
These locations provide a mix of solitude, natural beauty, and unique sandstone formations, perfect for those looking to experience the quiet side of New Mexico's landscapes.

TL/DR

You don’t have to the place you said ChatGPT would never suggest is bolded.

It suggested Plaza Blanca.

I am a civilian woman working with mostly military dudes. I have Chat GPT rewrite my emails so I sound like a military guy instead of a civilian woman. My husband, who is a military dude, thinks this is so funny but I do think I often get a better response from the guys I work with when I do this.

What prompt do you use?

Same. I can’t remember the last time I spent 30 minutes writing one email. But maybe it depends on your field. Short and succinct is the way to go; no one wants to read paragraphs of drivel.

Personally, I can work smarter and not harder on my own without the use of AI.

You sound like you just chat with peers instead of writing executive summaries for executives

If you can't write a note of congratulations or consolation as a literate adult you are an idiot. Using GPT proves you're lazy is all. I mean 98% of what you are using GPT for you don't need to use. It's so sad people are this lazy. As we get "smarter" I swear we are getting dumber. The fact people won't use their minds on easy things means we are all getting dumber.

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.

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.

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.

PP. It would be a tool if it had access to what I work with. And, no, I can't just copy paste into it.

I have no fear of being replaced. I'm happy to shovel info into the maw of the great AI once it provides real value. A peer already tipped me off that the jobs of the future will involve being a "conductor" of AI.

I'm pretty sure I was using Google before you had even heard of it. Not worried about my tech adoption skills.

The person above who compared the tech to autonomous driving is spot on.

I'd love it if AI could somehow make a service like Angie's List that would find an actually reliable home services provider at the price I want to pay. Can it do that yet?

Certainly! For reliable and cost-effective HVAC replacement services in Washington, DC, consider the following companies:

John C. Flood - Known for their prompt service and transparent pricing. They offer both installation and repair services.
Comfort Systems USA - Offers competitive pricing and a range of HVAC solutions with a focus on customer satisfaction.
Capitol Heating & Air Conditioning - Provides comprehensive HVAC services with a reputation for reliability and affordability.
Make sure to get multiple quotes and check reviews to ensure the best fit for your needs.

PP. This is my problem. List above is just based on a regurgitated set of frequent words or quality assertions. It also cannot provide tailored quotes or guarantee satisfaction. Human, personally relayed, impromptu, recent experiences are more likely to get me what I want.

Here's an example. My friend recently used a service literally called "The Honest Plumbing Company". Her experience was terrible.

How do you think a Text AI aggregator would answer if I said...give me the names of honest plumbing services? This one will most likely come up.

I just typed into Bing Copilot...

"What local (state) plumbing services overpromise and underdeliver"

It choked for a while then said it cannot provide specific opinions or assessments about businesses plus a bunch of blah blah about how to research.

It’s because you don’t understand how to use it.

You don’t just call those 3 and hire one. You then look at bbb ratings, check with friends to see if they have experience with those companies. It’s a start, it’s a tool.

I called a company from Angie for a roof issue and they were predatory and crazy.

Doesn’t mean I’ll never use Angie’s list again… I mean it went corporate so I’m less likely to use them now.

It’s a tool, one of many.

PP. My point is that it's not a good enough tool to outperform other tools. And it can give bad info. I've caught AI "hallucinating" info that if true would be interesting but it proved to be completely made up/wrong.

DP but I sincerely don’t even understand what the other posters are talking about? How is having ChatGPT spit out a list of contractors in an area any different than looking in the yellow pages? Or just searching for “plumber” on Google maps and then reading reviews and getting quotes? Or my personal favorite, asking your neighbors who they use and if they like them?

Seriously, I am confused. What is the actual POINT?

Is Google really the first search engine you used?

The reality is someone’s gonna come in not be afraid to use AI do your job twice as fast and better.

It’s fear, It’s common, especially with new technologies.

No. Google is not the first search engine I used. I used it early when Brin's former prof first invested in it and told all his colleagues about it.

What was the 1st one you used?

Ask Jeeves 😂 (DP)

PP. Agree that Ask Jeeves was one of the ones I used most right before Google. I can remember looking at/trying almost everything listed as present on the Internet in 1994 in the article below. I had already been navigating the web for a while without search engines.

Your fast if you thing ChatGPT is telling me things. I’m telling it things and it writes it up for me.

Also itinerary suggestions and the like are suggestions just like a neighbor, you have to verify.

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.

I'm a Creative Director and a writer.

Think of it this way:

I have limited time to garden - say, 2 hours a week.

I can spend 1 hour reading a book on "how to garden", then spend 1 hour doing the part of gardening I enjoy - being outdoors, connecting with my kids, tending to the plants, etc (which, btw, are the parts that nurture your brain and foster creativity).

Or, I can spend 30 seconds using ChatGPT, then spend the full 2 hours doing the parts of gardening I enjoy.

Same if I'm writing a piece for a client and I can spend only 6 hours on the project.

I can spend 2 hours doing my prep, research, thinking, etc, and then 4 hours writing.

Or I can spend 5 hours doing the prep, research, thinking, playing with ideas, etc, and have ChatGPT do the tedious part of writing for me.

Option #2 results in FAR better work because I could dedicate more time to the part that requires more brainpower. That's why I can charge $2000-$3000 per piece, while other writers I know are stuck at $500.

Smart doesn't mean doing things in the most time-intensive way. Smart means figuring out how to dedicate your limited time to the parts that get results, and outsource the rest.

This makes sense to me. Spend time on where you can add value. Report writing is dull

No, it sounds like she is literally outsourcing her job to AI. What is her plan when her clients figure out that she is not, in fact, a “writer”? She is merely a middle-man at this point. I’m sure her clients are capable of having ChatGPT do the “tedious part of writing” that they were under the impression they were paying this idiot to do.

You’re just sad that we no longer need a writer to write for 4 hours. We just need you to clean up ChatGPT.

You don’t get it because you fear it.

My clients all know my process. Many of them are in the tech industry and understand human+AI gives the best output. The clients who fret over whether a human or AI wrote something can’t afford me.

Sounds like you don’t actually understand how to write with AI. It’s not simply imputing “write me an article technological advancements in agriculture” and using whatever it gives you. To do it well still takes several hours, you just get to spend those hours doing the things that are actually fun (creative ideas, brainstorming, research). ChatGPT just does the boring parts.

You can either get paid to think, or you can get paid to type words. AI allows you to get paid to think.
