Using ChatGPT?

[Tallywad]

I'd be interested to hear about anyone's experience mucking around with ChatGPT.  How difficult was it to use?  Did you have any privacy concerns about the information it was collecting?  Plus, what motivated you to try it?

just wait until they're trained to talk dirty in some sexy voice.

I’m being sued by someone who is clearly using gpt.  It’s not a good look, nor is it winning.

I tried it a couple days ago.  My roommate said I should try it out.

It's not difficult to use.  But OpenAI.com requires you to create an account with them.  I typed a question asking ChatGPT how intense exercise elevates the level of LDL (bad cholesterol) in your body.  It gave a decent answer.  But one of its points was wrong.  So I asked a question about that.  It apologized for its oversight and provided some info that was closer to a real answer.  Then I asked if it could cite the sources for its last response.  It said it could not do that.

Overall, I think it would be good for asking it a question when you have no idea where to begin.  Then when it gives you an answer, you take the guts of each of the paragraphs in the answer and look it up like you normally would on the internet.. and you can find credible sources and such that way.  And you can Fact Check ChatGPT -- which seems important to do.  ChatGPT is trained on all the text of the internet -- truth and falsehoods alike.

Amazingly, the lawyer is not three kids in a trenchcoat.

A filing in a case against Colombian airline Avianca cited six cases that don’t exist, but a lawyer working for the plaintiff told the court ChatGPT said they were real.

With all the BS out there within all types of media, it's time to incorporate AI to fact check everything written and said real-time.  If you heard something on Fox News or MSNBC or read something on Twitter or Huff Post, AI independently would immediately rate the comment on a TRUE/FALSE spectrum right there on the screen.

Wouldn't that be nuts?!?!  But why not?

I wouldn't use it for anything that needs to be factual unless I could check for accuracy.  I have used it to help me write things and it's been great.  I asked it to write me a humorous poem for someone's birthday, giving info about the person, and wishing 5 seconds I had my poem!

I haven't tried it yet, but people are using ChatGPT to create recipes.  There's a sexy guy on youtube ("the perfect loaf") who knows everyting there is to know about sourdough bread.  He had chatGPT create a sourdough recipe.  He said it was pretty good, but not great.

I was stuck with writers block for 1500-2000 word “welcome” for a program for a non-profit I work with. I asked chatgpt to write a welcome letter, mentioned non-profits name…and I was shocked what a great job it did. Pulled some history for the organization, etc. I copy/pasted it into Word then wrote my personal rendition, but it helped me get started!

I've been playing with different AI writing tools with mixed results.
