I work with a lot of moving parts and use a bit of math for a few things to do so. I know the formulas to do my job, but now it’s easier to just type in a quick word problem and it figures up what I need pretty quickly.

I used it to create a Pharmacist tool kit that I use daily at work. It is far better than the clinical database my employer provides.

Works well with developing excel formulas.

From what I can tell ChatGPT seems pretty worthless.


Pretty much every day I go to ChatGPT and type in something like, "I have data in columns E and F. Write a formula to create a sumproduct of E:F based on these specific conditions in columns B & C."

I know how to write the formula myself, but it saves some time that adds up in the end.

I write executive summaries for various VPs and OCE members for my company. I use Bard AI to summarize the articles and reports for me and I will go back and edit and enrich the information more if needed.

I'm in grad school and have used it a lot for discussion posts. Obviously I change it up a bit in case of AI writing detection software. So far so good


Bruh, do your own work.

So what do you do with the "extra time?" Read up on WWI or string theory? Or do you attend yet another meeting that runs over by 20m and gets nearly nothing done?

I like to exercise what is in between my ears, it's better than the alternative wastes of my time.

It cleared up for me whether I should put my milk on my coffee first before I let it cool down or let it cool down and then put the milk on. Trying times and I wanted to know the answer

This. Having it write regexes alone makes it more than worthwhile for me. fricking hate missing one little piece of syntax in a nasty regex. ChatGPT has been a godsend on that front.

It’s been helpful for shitty tasks like writing cover letters, personal bios, and random articles. You have to tweak for specifics, but it saves a lot of hassle when you’re feeling uninspired to write.

Not ChatGPT per se, but I do write code in a development environment that uses machine learning to make suggestions about what I might want to type next.

It does save some keystrokes from time to time, like if I am renaming something in many different places and therefore making the same exact replacement over and over again. (Of course, there were already other things having nothing to do with "AI" that helped with that.)

It's also laughably wrong at times, like a trig student who's out of time on a test so he just puts "1" for everything and turns it in. And of course the AI is worthless for the 99% of my job that isn't typing computer code (like forcing people to think logically and clarify requirements, or figuring out WTF technology might even work for something).

Generally I spend that free time analyzing the dataset that the algorithm created, developing hypotheses based upon the data, and figuring out how/if the new data is useful.
