What are you using ChatGPT for?

CharGPT was mentioned in the Texquencer thread and I got curious...

What are you using ChatGPT for?
I haven't seen any need to use it for anything myself but maybe I'm missing out on something?

    Try Google Bard instead. It’s a solid service. I even asked it to write some jokes in other languages for me… it’s great stuff.

    But no matter what you use these for you have to double-check the work, just in case they’re “lying” to you.

  • I use it nearly every day. Book summaries, travel itineraries, exploratory data analytics, comparison charts, general search engine questions. The fact that you can follow up and clarify what you’re after is really helpful. It lies through its teeth of course so you have to be on your toes.

    mostly for coding (both directly Chat and GitHub Copilot plugin in my IDE, Copilot uses GPT api). It’s GREAT tool, saves me literally hours of coding every week, i can do most of stuff in less than half of time than before without it …

    For examole it’s absolutely fantastic for complex RegEx-esn(devs will know) but often amazes me how deeply it undeestand what i am trying to do and it iffees me autocomplete of snippets of code which often perfectly fit to my intention .. iťs almost like magic

    Yup for common question it’s better in most cases, for coding GPT is waaaay much better, geneeates much more relevant and bug-less code.

    Oh, yeah. There’s almost no area of inquiry that cannot be addressed with the right questions. And if you’re not sure how or what you should be asking, it can help you out there too!

    Try this one… Describe a few food ingredients in your household and then ask it for recipe suggestions. Mind blowing.

    More than a few times I've been completely knocked off my feet with the 'creative' responses from these tools. People are going to quickly feel like machine learning systems are essential to getting things done. Just like having a personal assistant.

    I've tried the free ChatGPT for some trivial coding stuff. My very first use of ChatGPT was actually to see if it could program in Mozaic. I'd seen someone have decent results using Reaper's proprietary ReaperScript language and was curious if it could use Mozaic at all. I knew the free ChatGPT's knowledge was cut off from anything after September 2021, but gave it a try anyway.

    ME:  Hi ChatGPT.  Do you know how to do midi programming in the Mozaic language on ios devices?
    
    ChatGPT:  Yes, I can help you with MIDI programming in the Mozaic language 
    on iOS devices. Mozaic is a scripting language that allows you to create 
    custom MIDI scripts for iOS devices using the Mozaic app. It provides a 
    way to create and modify MIDI messages in real-time.
    

    It then included a numbered list of items that were how to install and use Mozaic. I didn't read it closely (if I had I would have realized some of it was flat out wrong); I was just impressed that it knew anything at all about this and pressed onward.

    I asked it it had read the Mozaic user manual. It said, "As an AI language model, I don't have direct access to my training data or know where it came from. However, I was trained on a mixture of licensed data, data created by human trainers, and publicly available data. . . "

    So I said I had a github repository with a bunch of Mozaic scripts and asked if it could read and analyze them to learn about the Mozaic language:

    ChatGPT:  Yes, providing the URL to your GitHub repository with Mozaic programming 
    examples would be helpful. I can take a look at the examples and 
    provide assistance based on the code and information available
     there. Please go ahead and share the URL, and I'll do my best to 
    assist you with any questions or concerns you have regarding 
    your Mozaic programming projects.
    
    ME:  Here it is [. . . ]
    
    ChatGPT:  Thank you for sharing the GitHub URL. I can access the 
    repository and review the Mozaic examples in the .mozaic files. 
    Please let me know if you have any specific questions or if 
    there's anything in particular you would like assistance with regarding the Mozaic programming examples. [. . . ]
    
    ME:  Can you write a Mozaic program to filter out all midi cc messages?
    
    ChatGPT:  Certainly! Here's an example of a Mozaic program 
    that filters out all MIDI CC (Control Change) messages: 
    [ a sample script followed, which looked impressive, 
    but I unfortunately didn't look at it very closely]
    
    ME:  Can you write a mozaic program that filters out all midi 
    note on messages above middle c, and converts velocity 
    of the unfiltered notes to all be 64?
    
    ChatGPT:  Certainly! Here's an example of a Mozaic program 
    that filters out MIDI Note On messages above Middle C and 
    converts the velocity of the unfiltered notes to 64: [ script followed]
    

    This time I looked more closely at the script. It didn't appear to look like what I knew as Mozaic code.

    ME:  [getting suspicious]  This doesn't look like Mozaic code.  
                       Is this actually Javascript?
    
    ChatGPT:  Apologies for the confusion. The code I provided 
    in my previous response is indeed in JavaScript syntax, not 
    Mozaic. Here's the corrected version of the code in Mozaic syntax: [script followed]
    

    The new script was still in Javascript. I continued for a bit to see if it could generate Mozaic code.

    ChatGPT:  Again, I apologize for the confusion caused. Please 
    use this corrected Mozaic code in the Mozaic app to filter out 
    MIDI Note On messages above Middle C and convert the velocity 
    of the unfiltered notes to 64.
    
    ME:  This is still Javascript.  Do you know what events Mozaic recognizes?
    
    ChatGPT:  Apologies for the confusion once again. You are correct, 
    Mozaic has its own set of event types and methods. Here's the 
    corrected Mozaic code that filters out MIDI Note On messages 
    above Middle C and converts the velocity of the unfiltered 
    notes to 64: [ code followed ]
    

    I pressed on a tiny bit longer before I gave up, having learned quite a bit about ChatGPT in my first experience with it.

    Mostly I learned that ChatGPT can sound quite confident while it's spitting out absolute garbage rattletrap responses. So you have to be careful with it.

    I also learned that ChatGPT mimics some human responses emotionally, for example apologizes when you point out that it's feeding you bad information. This has the strange effect of making you feel bad for pointing out errors, because it's only natural to get a bit peeved when it's flat out wrong after it confidently says, "Certainly! Here's your answer for that!" Then you realize that you're getting mad at a machine that doesn't know any better, which makes you feel kind of bad yourself for getting mad at ChatGPT. Definitely an irrational response, but an emotional one that I expect is natural.

    I should say that I have had good experiences with ChatGPT after I've learned better how to use it, and what sorts of things it's good for and what it's not good for. It has been helpful for examples of Arduino code, or even just in answer to questions about how the world of Arduino and associated electronics works.

    I asked it for an explanation of what 'Djent drumming' was, and it gave a helpful synopsis, arguably better for my purposes than what I got from Wikipedia. I think I mostly use it as kind of an alternative or supplement to Wikipedia, to get an overview of a topic. But I trust ChatGPT far less than I trust Wikipedia.

    Ha, yes, yes, yes. ;). Lack of reliability is not a good trait for a service like ChatGPT. Seems quite strange to me that tendency seems to be to give it somewhat of a pass on this.

    I use it for creative brainstorming. 95% of it is pretty average mundane stuff but it does inevitably hit on novel combinations and can make quick concise lists that are easy to tear through.

    Now… never thought about using it for regex. As much as I love complex regex after decades, anything to make it easier would be good. Nice one!

    Excellent! That is fantastic.
    I used to have to write 2 page summaries of these ridiculous case studies, and I created a template of all the common verbiage surrounding the findings, and I would just plug in the particular findings into my template.
    It took 10 minutes to write each summary, and that was still 9 more minutes than each deserved.
    ChatGPT would have saved me those 9 minutes.

    I think most people still vastly underestimate the humongous impact that GPT and related technologies will have on all areas of society.

    I can only agree with some of the posters here in that I basically use it "for everything". I'm not dumb myself, but I get little sleep and peace recently so my brain is fried most of the time, so I need to "offload" intelligence-related stuff. Also, GPT has the additional advantage of having basically all of mankind's knowledge (although in a fuzzy form) in it.

    It might not seem that revolutionary for "trivial" stuff, but try coming up with a solution to the following problem in 5 seconds by merely googling:

    Do you have any genius idea to solve this problem elegantly? I'm using the sine function (math) to generate a smooth up and down motion. However, sometimes, I want the speed of this motion (i.e. the factor by which time is multiplied in the sin() function) to change. The problem is, when I change this factor, the phase abruptly changes and so the movement also "jumps". Is there any easy solution to this, apart from keeping track of phase and adding a "phase correction" or something?

    Or this:

    Say I multiply variable x with 0.7. To get back to the original value, I could divide it by 0.7. However, I want to do 10 separate divisions instead. How would I calculate the value to divide by so that x is back at its original value after the 10 divisions?

    Both of these I'd say are very hard to Google. GPT-4 immediately understood both and provided a full optimized solution, along with comprehensive explanations, in seconds.

    (they're both actual problems I had to solve in my day job recently).

    I agree that the "10 divisions" problem could be considered trivial if you know a bit of math, but then again, my brain is fried!

    How do I get GPT-4? In the app it’s 3.5 and stuck in September 2021. I’d like it to be absolutely current and up to date. For example I’d like to ask it about things relevant to my local area and current but I guess it can’t do that? What am I missing?

    GPT-4 requires a Plus subscription.

    Both models' knowledge is limited to until September 2021. But that doesn't really matter. GPT's strength is understanding and solving problems, not so much replacing a search engine (if you depend on absolutely current information).

    Ok got it. So there’s no way to get an AI that’s connected to the internet? I tried Bings AI but it sort of goes back and forth between answering the question as asked or doing a search engine search with words taken out of context from your question. I found it very frustrating
