@Luxthor im not Poppa, but i view it as the opposite. helping my brain to think in ways i would not have thought of. Increasing Neuroplasticity, knowledge, pushing myself out of my comfort zone into new depths of creative thinking etc.

It was an obvious joke. You could have all that knowledge without AI for centuries. I’m not against new technologies, on the contrary I embrace them. No need making straw man out of me. 🤓

Lol. It’s all good.

There is a ton of free info out there. I’ve only done some mild research. Theres free ebooks, PDF’s, etc… There’s obviously some great videos on YouTube, that’s where I first saw someone using it for sound design. The rest I just found searching. Search terms like - AI Prompt Engineering Cheat Sheet, Beginner Guide to AI prompts, Best ChatGPT Prompts, How to write effective AI prompts, etc… basically use any combination of these terms with one of these, Chat GPT, or AI prompts, or AI Prompt Engineering, or Chat GPT prompts, etc..

OpenAI Best Practices for Prompt Engineering

There’s several guides on GitHub. Here’s one. Prompt Engineering Guide.

Thanks a lot @Poppadocrock - thorough as ever!

You’re right. one of my go to prompts the majority of the time is - Act as a …”blank”

There are limits in the text, but if you word it right, in the right order, you’ll get good results. Some of my prompts are a paragraph long.

Lol. Shrinkage, classic Seinfeld episode, lol. Even though it was a joke, I don’t think there was any malice at all in their response.

I’ll never understand why people would trust ChatGPT to be some know all search engine without knowing what it was trained in or what it’s strengths and weaknesses are.

I’ve found the best results come from designating the AI a role, clearly state what it’s job is, and then ask it to tell you what information it needs to do the job. After feeding it information it needs to know, you end up with less hallucinations and false assumptions. It also tends to stay more focused on the intended result. So if you wanted a music assistant, grab a book on music and teach it the core knowledge it needs. Then it can summarize those points or create new ideas based on what it’s recently learned as relevant information.

But isn't there a limit on the number of people of characters you can enter in a prompt? That seems to limit the usefulness for feeding it stuff

You would need to separate it into parts. It can be a bit time consuming, but it recalls the context of the chat, so feeding it more information over time generally doesn’t seem to have a negative impact. I recently did this by teaching it the fundamentals of lyric writing, feeding it a chapter at a time. The results before and after were impressively different as it stopped focusing on general lyrics of whatever it was fed before, and started to focus on the core concepts of good lyric writing to make new lyrics.

Wow, cool. Are you using the paid version?

Yes it’s the paid version. GPT4 offers some great returns when you really focus its information and task.

I would say so far, my most unique and rewarding use case is “passive aggressive filter” GPT. I told the agent that it is a filter for dialogue that might be full of rants, blaming, and generally unpleasant and non-productive communication. Its goal is to take a rant, and reword it into a non-aggressive and productive communication that better conveys the point without any of the negative off-putting parts that would trigger people.

Just had some contract negotiations go better thanks to that filter. win win, I got to fully rant, and the output was effective enough to get the point across in an appealing way.

Hahaha...see, prompt creation itself can be an act of high creativity and mental dexterity

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?

Would the original poster who started this thread ( @lasselu ) please rename this thread so that it is in the correct approved format for this forum for this sort of question, by adding “Is it good?” after, so that the title of this topic becomes:

“ What are you using ChatGPT for? Is it good?”

Thanks, you’re welcome

Just found another great use for chatGPT. I taught it how to recognize the xml formatting for sound variations in Studio One. Using a pdf of all the presets in Roland fantom 6 (7500 presets) I’ve been able to get chatGPT to automate the creation of all the program changes for the studio one’s sound variation format. Saving hours of work.

Tried it on SQL tasks today. Very.Good.

Not all calories are equal. See for example the book 'Why We Get Fat' by Gary Taubes. Also take a look at intermittent fasting. Basically cut out empty calories (sugar etc), try to eat within a 6 hour window unless you have a health condition that would not suit that well and, whatever you do, don't go on a low fat diet.

I personally have only used chat gpt to spit out lyrics to giggle at, but I just stumbled across this video, where someone used it to talk him through building a Minimoog in VCV Rack. Looks cool, I might try something like that some time.

its of course not perfect because it requires chatGPT 4 to do it consistently. on chatGPT 3.5 and below, it tends to forget context and just makes stuff up over time. On ChatGPT 4 it remembers what its learned and whats it's done before, but has a limit on how many characters it can output in a single pass. the good thing is, I can give it the max amount of input it can take a time, and it remembers enough to push out the code in chunks. This process would have taken weeks no doubt, but its now just a matter of copy and pasting my preset info from the Roland preset pdf into chatGPT.

I've also used it to script for studio one's presence XT sampler. No doubt there are some great iOS music uses just waiting to be discovered.
