re: How much do you use chat gpt?

I also use it to make new episodes (well, the scripts for them), of shows I enjoy that I feel didn't get enough airtime.


I'll come up with titles and plot points, settings and all that. Basically just use it to fill in the tedious blanks.

It comes up with some pretty good stuff too and true to the characters with the right prompting.

Damn...
I want to do that.


"""Heads off to go create a new season of Firefly and sarah Connor chronicles"""

Yeah. I made a whole new series of blackadder and black books.

Some IT crowd episodes. Made myself laugh

It needs to be guided, and make sure it familiarizes itself with the work and writing style in depth.

If you have any sort of imagination you can appreciate it

Never tried it. Nothing against it, but not sure what I would need to use it for.

Anything you may ask Google, ask ChatGPT and you'll soon see the benefit.

Never actually used it

My kid's teacher asked us to send in multiple, encouraging letters that she would give to our kid before each final. After a hard day my brain was fried and I was frustrated trying to come up with something. My husband jokingly told me to use chatgpt. It spit out exactly what I wanted in like five seconds. I changed some things and added some silly pictures of our pets and I was done.

I was very impressed.

Professionally, paying for unlimited access to ChatGPT 4o has been the biggest return of investment I have ever made.

Boss wants me to give meeting notes of our 1-1s, I just give AI the recording of the meeting and it takes care of it.

You definitely still need to be aware enough to proofread the work. It will make gaps. But if you know enough to catch it, and understand computers enough to know how they “think” in order to rephrase your request parameters it can easily spit out hours of work in minutes.


Probably the biggest gain is in making simple VBA scripts tailored to a task. It writes the code, I polish it a little and boom.

I wish it could read all my emails and write executive summaries on them and relay current project status

Yes

It’s not perfect but close enough, and with decent quality recordings it’s good enough to identify speakers automatically and attribute phrases correctly. (though the base format is just Speaker 1, speaker 2, etc)

It’s a two step process. I use an AI powered app to generate the transcript. Then I feed the transcript to my ChatGPT-4o to generate the summary.



-4o is amazing. You are only limited by what your platform allows you to integrate with. This technology will eventually replace so much of the workforce. Was watching a stunning video of what it was able to do when the parent told it that he wanted it to tutor his child, so do not tell give the answer, guide the child to figuring it out on his own.

I use it occasionally for work, but I also review the provided references to make sure the information is accurate. I still don’t trust it fully.

For excel formula help, it’s a beast and I enjoy using it for those tasks.

This is critical. As glowing my endorsement was above, it has never 100% delivered what I wanted. I still have to double check and polish. But it doesn’t change that it reduces the amount of personal time I need to apply to a deliverable by 90+%
