[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Unless it's complex I don't find it even necessary to go to ChatGPT.  AI is just not there yet. So far from what we expect AI to be.  To those pp who use it on stuff like planning your garden out - you can do this. It may take you like 30 min but I'm pretty sure without GPT you'd have found a way. 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. [/quote]

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.[/quote]

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

think carefully about that. [/quote]

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.[/quote]

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. [/quote]

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.

[/quote]

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.[/quote]

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.[/quote]
