I asked it a lot of questions on my particular field of expertise and wow, it gave some doozies. Many of the inaccuracies would have been hard for a non-expert to figure out.

I personally love to write so would have no use for it to write things for me but I assume that is a big appeal to many.

It can be fun for joke requests like to write a poem in the style of Emily Dickinson but in pirate jargon.


Same here. I have a specialization and wow did it get some stuff seriously wrong, but sound incredibly confident doing so.

I just asked how to decorate my living room in a cozy British aesthetic and it gave great ideas.

I feel like i should know wht you mean but don't - you mean that it costs in storage space?


Presumably they mean power consumption.


I swear Im not being intntionally obtuse - can you please elaborate?


There are quite a few "A.I.s" now, and each one can take up to a nuclear plant or more to power them as they grow.

Microsoft and Google are buying and building nuclear plants for their A.I.s now.

It takes a ton of power to run this stuff. I think the poster was complaining about carbon footprint stuff.

Employee evaluations - used Claude and ChatGPT for this. I had the basic text and just asked them to beef it up.

ChatGPT - used the color analysis - it was ok and gave some decent choices


For what colors look good on you? OR what?

I use it to plan my day, for meal plans, or workout routines.

I'm on disability and am often fatigued. Chatgpt will give me a plan for the day that includes breaks. I'm not good at doing that myself. I keep going until I'm ready to fall over, literally.

I'm using it to write evaluations for my students this week. I have to tweak things a bit, but it's much faster this way.
