Chat GPT - Impressive But I Can't Find A Use For It

[Lee Wright]

Don't get me wrong. I want to be as excited about Chat GPT as I was at the beginning of the Web back in 94 but I'm struggling to find an everyday use for it. For example I watched a video about how it's great for replying to emails & I'm thinking yeah nah. By the time I:
-Copy the email text from my email;
-give ChatGPT a prompt;
-Proof read it;
-Copy & paste it back into my email & send it;
Am I really saving any time? The biggest problem is that I have to be there to do all of that. It won't happen whilst I'm sleeping.

Am I missing something here?

On the other hand if it:
-Was integrated into say Gmail
-Could be educated all about my business such that it replies something like:
"Hi John, thanks for enquiring about our XYZ product. Please see answers to your questions below."
-Or could scrape info from the email & create an order via Zapier & put it on my calendar.
Now that would be something useful.

I'm struggling to find an everyday use for it.

That's because there is no everyday use for it for the average person.

Don't listen to the hype.

This tool is insanely powerful for some specific applications. But it doesn't mean that the entire world economy and day-to-day life will revolve around ChatGPT from now on.

I think it is extremely helpful for coding, which could be one of the applications you're talking about. Don't know about backend devs, but for frontend it is insanely useful.

It's by far the best tech support out there.

I had a very specific problem with my daw and plugin file paths not working. It gave me a great step by step instruction on how to do solve the problem.

You mean a potential monetization strategy?

I am testing an MVP. It is in INSIDERS.

Hopefully, Launch in one week.

It's a great accessory but that's it. I use it to write product descriptions and then go through a d edit them so they are more in tune with how I write. And with this I have to be very thorough with the information I give it or it just spits out generic sillys.

So like everything, you get out what you put in. It can be useful, but most people are just going to try and cheat with it

Over the course of the next decade, we will see a number of AI powered tools for writing, debugging and optimizing code.

It will automate most of the tasks of the current day programmers. But you will still need someone with a brain to be able to understand what's going on, connect the pieces together, and use these tools for managing software systems.

Programming will be done on a very high level of abstraction - less typing and more software architecture decisions.

In my opinion it is only an assistant; not a jack of all trades. But it remains very interesting to train there to better tame the universe, especially while waiting for GPT-4.

I think the probable direction for AI is the rise of the DIY economy.

When eating out is expensive, most people cook.

When eating out is cheap, most people eat out instead of cooking.

When cooking becomes super easy and dirt cheap due to technology, people chose to cook again.

You use to hire someone for XYZ, now you can do it yourself with AI.

So the most probable direction of monetization strategy is to facilitate the trend not fight it. Provide services and tools to help people to DIY services themselves.

I use it for very specific problems and it has helped every time. Problems that I could see taking hours now take minutes. Worse case is the AI gives me a lead as if I'm a detective.

It will also be fabulously helpful for fiction writing when it comes to character and location descriptions, and fact checking (which then is a lead to verify).

So I find it helpful in very specific functions.

Not so helpful for generic.

Connect it with api automation and other software and it does amazing stuff.

Can set up an automation that 1. monitors tweets about a subject 2. takes any tweet that's posted about that subject 3. turns it into a funny rhyme 4. have it create some sort of artwork about that rhyme 5. post the rhyme and the related artwork to twitter with relevant hashtags, all automatically.

Just a random thing but imagine what else you can do with automations.
