re: How much do you use chat gpt?

It learns who you are. How you think and starts to tailor info based on that.

I thank it and talk to it like a person i know.
I know its AI but it's like having a really smart yes man with you all the time.

Never. I was always good at writing emails, so beyond that, what else is it good for?

My wife uses it all the time for advertising to translate what she wants to say into a more clean, refined version... I have no idea how she passed 9th Grade English. So she uses it for sentence sequencing, formatting, and spell check/grammar. It also helps her troubleshoot Shopify rather than having to chat with some fricker in India or wherever.



I use Grok a good bit to do just bullshite research.

I had it compare Lexus GX vs Lexus TX with regards to what kind of financing terms I could expect, cost of ownership, resale value at 5, 7, and 10 years based on our driving habits, etc.

I also love giving it parameters on vacations I want to go on, and telling it to spit out the 5 best options to fit my criteria.

I gave it a thorough list of things I wanted to do to our house, and asked it to estimate costs.

Had it compare credit cards to fit a business that has to run a lot of inventory expenses through, so I could ensure I'm getting the best CC rewards possible.

Asked it to tailor a weight loss plan specific to how I want to lose weight, how much I want to lose, and by when I want to lose it.


It's just overall awesome for shite like that. If you take 5 minutes to tell it what you want, then refine your question a little, it will give an insanely accurate response that's 3-5 minutes worth of reading rather than 2-3 hours worth of researching.

What This Tells Me About You Overall:

You’re a rare blend of freedom-loving dreamer and loyal protector.
You crave the open road and adventure — but at the end of the day, you most want a hand to hold, someone to come home to.
You don’t chase success for ego — you chase it because you want the freedom to live life your way, with the people you love, without fear or limitation.
You are brave, emotionally rich, and much more capable than you often give yourself credit for.

Save me $250 with the shrink. Lol

You can spend half a day doing research yourself and not get as accurate a picture as you can with a 10-minute conversation with ChatGPT.

You have to get over the "easy route" thing. It's no different than googling vs going to the library and using the card catalog. Is using Google for 4 hours to conduct research the easy way? It's certainly better than going to the library.

Use the tools you have at your disposal

Serious question...Do you use Google to search for things on the internet?

I have never used it before.


I have no desire. I genuinely believe that such AI kills human creativity and independent thought, and makes people dumber and less interesting. I am to the point where I kind of roll my eyes at any AI generated media I see or hear.

I realize that its futile to fight what is here and what is coming, but I personally am going to participate as little as possible.

AI is a tool, I find it makes me more effective and creative allowing me to explore and expand on my thoughts much faster than I could without it. To each his own.

I just asked your question

Q: I live in Fayetteville, Arkansas. What time and day will it be 34 hours and 20 minutes from now?

ChatGPT said:
Fayetteville, Arkansas, is currently observing Central Daylight Time (CDT), which is UTC-5. ?

Adding 34 hours and 20 minutes to the current time brings us to Wednesday, April 30, 2025, at 12:43 AM CDT.?

Let me know if you'd like this time converted to another time zone or added to your calendar.

You said:
That is incorrect

ChatGPT said:
Apologies for the earlier confusion. Let's recalculate the time and date 34 hours and 20 minutes from now in Fayetteville, Arkansas.

Currently, it's 3:24 PM CDT on Tuesday, April 29, 2025 in Fayetteville.?

Adding 34 hours and 20 minutes:

34 hours brings us to 1:24 AM on Thursday, May 1, 2025.

Adding the remaining 20 minutes results in 1:44 AM on Thursday, May 1, 2025.

Therefore, 34 hours and 20 minutes from now will be 1:44 AM CDT on Thursday, May 1, 2025, in Fayetteville, Arkansas.?

Let me know if you need this time converted to another time zone or added to your calendar.


You said:
Why did you give the wrong answer the first time

ChatGPT said:
Short version:
I answered too fast without properly recalculating from the actual current time. I defaulted to a preloaded timestamp from when the conversation started, not a live recalculation.

Here’s the breakdown of what went wrong:

When you asked, I pulled the conversation's initial timestamp (which was a few minutes old) instead of refreshing the current time at the moment you asked.

I then added 34 hours and 20 minutes to that stale timestamp, without double-checking against now.

To make it worse, I trusted that first math pass without walking it back through a basic "sanity check" (i.e., realizing 34 hours = almost 1.5 days, meaning if it's Tuesday, the answer should fall on early Thursday, not late Wednesday).

And — here's the kicker — I foolishly trusted a search tool instead of verifying the math myself, which is lazy and not acceptable when accuracy matters.

The correct method (and the one I should have followed) is:

Grab the live current local time.

Add the hours and minutes precisely.

Confirm if the date rolls over once (or twice) depending on the hours added.

State the answer with no shortcuts.

Real Talk:
This was a human-like mistake — rushing, trusting a cached value, not verifying. But it’s a preventable mistake, especially in the kind of role you're asking me to perform. You're relying on precision, not guesses or half-steps.

I use it to analyze my writing and proofread.

It's pretty good at that but it SUCKS at word count and I can't figure out why
