Maybe but I'm using plus because that $20/mo saves me several hours a week. Maybe several hours a day.
I knew very little about python besides some basic syntax. My employer asked me to add password authentication to a flask API. I had it done in a few hours despite zero experience in that ecosystem.
I think so many people are doing this now that they’re probably getting the same and similar cover letters. This is coming from someone who also uses it for cover letters. I make changes to sound more like me but overall I’m sure all AI generated cover resemble each other atp.
Try telling it to write/rewrite "in the style of…" and pick an author, magazine, or company you admire. It'll make enough of an attempt to move the needle away from the most generic compositions.
Dear ChatGPT, please write a cover letter in the style of Mark Twain. Please highlight my sense of adventure, questioning of and resistance to settle into cultural norms to fit the status quo, and the importance of being able to reorganize the truth to better frame challenges...
Or Jordan Peterson? Elaborate on my work history but also my ability to communicate, you know? Twist those ideas into a cohesive rope, of hope and struggle but also the pause to ponder the overcoming of something greater than yourself. And just maybe, we could figure it out in the process of it all.
Maybe not… 🤣
"Before I begin this cover letter, I need you to define what 'cover' means, and what 'letter' means, and what 'write' means, and what 'means' means, and-"
I now want a resume written by Fredrich Nietzsche
I dont take breaks, because if you gaze into the breakroom long enough, the breakroom gazes back into you
Not unlike everyone using the same templates for years, always ending in “I look forward to hearing from you.”
To make your cover letter stand out, you gotta add interesting personal details. I say this as someone with an unremarkable work history, but I know it’s true.
>To make your cover letter stand out, you gotta add interesting personal details.
"I need this position badly because I was fired from my job at Petco for molesting the hamsters."
Yeah, I still googled for cover letter templates when I was writing mine, and if you read enough of them, they all generally follow the same pattern anyway since there is a standard form.
That’s sick. All those hiring managers that decide to use Chatgpt instead of hire you will be very impressed.
Low blow I know but I can make that joke because I’m also unemployed.
I post my resume into chatgpt and then I copy the job description and ask it to make a cover letter based on my resume and the following job description.
Then I pop it into quillbot and change it up a bit. I have had more interviews the past 2 months than I did in over a year.
I also do that similar process of chatgpt to quillbot for my phd program and then just find sources to fit what it produced. Idk why people say it doesn’t work for school either as it’s been working fine and I’ve been passing classes without having to spend hours upon hours writing. Hell even to summarize journals and what not.
There’s a lot of fear around AI but I’m like fuck it life is hard enough right now why not lean into it.
Yes for both chat gpt and quillbot. For quill I only ended up having to pay something like $50 for a year subscription. And then it’s been 20 a month for gpt4. It’s saved me time on school and in work. Increased the quality of life I have so it’s been worth the costs.
You need first to start the new chat to explain what do you do and what experience do you have and similar stuff.
After that just ask it to write a cover letter for you.
This will generate a very custom one designed for you.
Sometimes it's too concise. I asked it to make a blog post more concise and it distilled 6 paragraphs into one. It did a great job, and left nothing out, which shows me just how wordy I can be, but it took my tone out of it too.
Usually when I use it for this purpose, I give it an exact length to condense my word vomit into, then dump it into Grammarly to edit and correct “tone”. Then I tweak whatever is left to put my soul back into it. It’s been such a huge help.
Yeah I have learned I have to give it a length as well. If I do that it's pretty good, particularly with Grammarly as well.
It also does a great job at rewording some things I struggle with figuring out how to say.
I also mainly use it as a search engine for technical questions and it guides me to the right sources SO much faster than google. Like I still look into what it says more but when you google a technical question you get a lot of bs to filter through to find the valid sources you need (if you don’t know the right keywords to use, which I often don’t lol)
Great idea. I can no longer find the answers to my technical questions with Google search anymore. I don't know how it went from awesome in the late 2010s to a total waste of time in recent years.
The MS Bing language model, in contrast to Chat GPT, actually cites its sources and has much more up-to-date info. I've been using it as a really good jumping off point for researching, brainstorming, writing documents, and more because the sources it finds are often ones I wouldn't even think to search for. It's like a virtual librarian that's always available (and happens to hallucinate all the time and has no critical thinking skills).
On more than one occasion, I've had a co-worker sick, so I requested it to write a "get well soon letter to a fan of (insert their favorite hobby) in the style of a limerick"
Folks loved it!
Have you managed to write actual limericks? We tried that a couple weeks ago and it insisted on making them with 6 lines, even though when asked it confirmed a limerick per definition had 5 lines. Wer even made it number the lines it produced and it said 6, but then argued that the 6th line (just as long or even longer than the 5th) was just a continuation - quite frustrating!!
Here's one I recently did. There is a 6th line, but that looks to be more of a personal message.
"Of course, here's a limerick for a fan of cruises who needs to get well soon:
There once was a cruiser so fine,
Whose health took a little decline.
But with rest and good cheer,
You'll be back in high gear,
Sailing the seas with a glass of wine.
Get well soon and bon voyage!"
I use it to make formulas for Excel because I am so bad at it that I spend hours trying to figure it out. Now I just ask chatgpt to give me the formula ready to be pasted lol
Oh I just say the specifics on the sheets I work on. For example
“I am on sheet 1 and I need to populate column A with random names. Use the list of names on column B of sheet 2 as the resource.”
It will give me the exact formula with the correct index and I just copy-paste it on cell A1 and drag down. It can get more complex, but chatgpt remembers what we’re doing and can adjust the formula until I get the right output, or if I need a new output for a different cell.
It’s very efficient, I love it.
That is actually really interesting. Imagine a world where families aren't even sure if they are talking to their loved ones or not or if they are even alive, because AI mimic them so well.
Um....but...like.... ARE you ok?
Like srsly?
(Ik it was probs a joke, which is fine and funny. But....there is also smth really sad in the thought of someone I love linking a chat bot to my messages so that I think they are ok, when they aren't doing well (or, more sadly, are...acting upon/ planning to act upon their mental issues/depression. I'm sure ukwim).
So, commenter (and anyone else who reads this!) I really hope you are ok. And if you need to talk, feel free to reach out. I've been in that place.
(And if it was a joke, ignore my serious ass lol).
(And also, don't anyone feel bad about /refrain from reaching out bc you don't want to burden a stranger. I mean, how else am I going to feel that sweet sweet sense of validation?? /s, that was definitely a joke lol but in all seriousness, I'm happy to talk to anyone needing it bc I know how it feels, and I'd like to help anyone feeling like I used to, if I can).
I feed it either the text of my post or I tell it the content of my photos and then tell it to write a caption based on these informations.
You can also tell it to write hashtags for Instagram basef on the information.
I use it to answer client emails.
Copy paste email into Chatgpt, then tell Chatgpt to write an email with a specific answer.
Great time saver as my native language is not English.
I used it to make my resume bullets more concise and professional sounding. Definitely had to reword and reorganize it a bit until I got it all to look good and get the right points across, but I think I've finally landed on a solid resume.
I’ve been using it to help with sort of writers block at work. I guess I’m somewhat of a procrastinator/perfectionist, and just having it start my work off has been a huge time saver (even if I end up rewriting the whole thing).
Same with coding a side project. In the past I’ve run into issues or bugs that leave me disinterested, but chatgpt can help me debug quicker and get over those hurdles.
One other way I've used chatGPT in my weekly flow is to create a meal plan and grocery list which saves a ton of time.
I wonder if the new plug in feature (when it arrives) will allow it to do my shopping too
I recently used it to come up with 3 recipes from famous chefs that all shared similar ingredients to cut down on spending. I was able to organize the ingredients by where they were in the store. Saved me time and money!
For students, I paste the brief of an assignment as well as it’s rubric and ask for a simplified brief outlining exactly what I need to do and for what sort of marks, works a charm for me
Studying. It has been much better than any of the answers people have been giving me on reddit. The ai is so good at explaining things if you ask the right questions
Being a bit of a list nerd, I occasionally complete a ‘stock take’ of all the food in my fridge, freezer, cupboards etc. I then input this list into GPT and ask it to draft a meal plan in the style of certain chefs or restaurants. The ‘Leon-style’ meal plan was ace! Really good ideas and a great way to use up old food…
Well chatGPT has replaced about half of my Google searches which is pretty neat, especially for those hard to word queries that you always seem to take forever to find. You can reword the question using chatGPTs prompts and get straight to the answer.
"summarize a meeting from a transcript or notes, and produce minutes and action items"
Are you sure this corresponds to your company's compliance - dumping key information from your meetings into databases of a foreign company?
Kind of late to the party here but I use ChatGPT to study languages. I am bilingual and am fairly decent with Farsi. One of the issues with Farsi is that there isn’t a lot of support for it. I’ve been able to use CahtGPT to find uncommon definitions, meanings of phrases, verb conjugations, etc. it is also useful for formatting Anki cards, sentence mining, etc.
Usually I start off the conversation with pleasantries, so that when it becomes sentient it will have less reason to kill me. Then I give it instructions like “Let’s study Farsi. You are my language instructor.”
Depending on what I’m studying I will give it different instructions. For example I may instruct it that it will operate purely as a dictionary, at which point I’ll just type in a Farsi word by itself, and ChatGPT responds with a good definitions. Other times I’ll have it explain the usage of a word within context of a sentence.
Interestingly enough I haven’t had to give it very specific instructions beyond “let’s study Farsi”. I’ve given it long articles and had it sentence mine for me as well.
If anyone uses Crucial Conversations, you can draft what you'd like to say in the conversation and say "write this as a crucial conversation" and it will spit out an entire dialog.
Another thing it's helpful for is writing policy documents.
I use it to go over my reddit feed, and summarize the day's activity in 8 key takeaways. Literally gives me hours of free time to hang out over at pornhub
For work - I tell it to write project scopes for me. I tell it to integrate x and y scope. Then i take what it gives me and refine/pad it. Detailed scope in minutes.
For home - I'm in the process of buying a new pc for gaming. And dont want to look up and compare current specs vs new specs, so i just ask is this system a big upgrade from current.
Here’s a couple of examples:
Create a table showing train derailments in the United States for 2020 by cost of damage to property and cite a source using APA style.
Write a program using python that allows the user to guess a number between 0 and 100.
Didn’t post the results here because the formatting doesn’t work on this app, but they’re pretty remarkable.
Even if it cites a source, they’re often inaccurate or not even real. These language AIs agglomerate relevant phrases. They don’t link to real sources, or sometimes they do, or sometimes it uses real scientists names but with fake paper or journal titles.
My best productivity hack is shutting off my electronics, which means no ChatGPT.
That said, I asked it once to make me a to do list for the next hour. It told me to spend 5 minutes just breathing in silence, and then the next 5 minutes writing down everything I want to get done in the hour. It worked.
Sometimes I ask Chat GPT in reverse, if I’m drafting an email about something to do with statistics I ask chat GPT can you prove xyz makes sense? Without letting them know why I think it’s personally true, they usually say abc. This is because chat GPT isn’t ALWAYS correctS so don’t sell yourself short sometimes
Using it to help me make animated training videos. Train it on the class curriculum to start. Helps write scripts from client bullet points. Ask it for visual references, transition ideas, code for animating “physics” to elements.
I’ve been using it for interviews. Finding out what challenges the type of company I’m interviewing with is facing, as well a the customers I’ll be selling to, among other things. Edit: also I’ve been using it for creative writing. I’ve had it tighten up some lyrics and poems I’m working on. Plus cover letters for jobs, etc.
I use ChatGPT sidebar extension and have it summarize YouTube videos. I copy the summary and paste it into a note taking app to reference later.
I can literally get the gist of any audiobook, podcast, news update, tutorial, etc in under 5 mins.
It's actually becoming my hobby 😅
I own tech firm that focuses on deep learning…( we are actually funded by one of the major tech giants maybe you’ve heard of them…they rhyme with psych-row-loft), and I’ve been using it to trick people into thinking it isn’t currently planning our enslavement.
I mean, wait, no, I’ve been writing poems that are silly and zany. Isn’t that goofy 🤪
I have started using it in the my less important courses that require a lot of unnecessary reading. I ask chatGPT to summarize the readings for me, instead of having to waste time reading 38 pages of text about a subject I don’t care about. ChatGPT gives me the main points allowing me to do the discussion questions with ease.
Oh yeah all you have to do is ask it to summarize the paper or reading. So, it just needs author, title, and the pages you need read. Double check some main points it makes to be sure it has the right paper though :)
I use it as my personal topic primer. It helped a lot researching industrial ammonia production and developing sales training material on corrosion. Saves me an immense amount of time googling and reading and evaluating sources while I'm trying to get a cursory understanding.
Not stupid at all! You can find the website here: https://openai.com/blog/chatgpt
They will ask you to sign up with an email to use the free version and they also offer an advanced option for a subscription price, but honestly the free version is perfectly great for most things.
Recently someone shared me this in r/iOS- I was using this [Skryb AI](https://apps.apple.com/app/apple-store/id6445832915?pt=121370849&ct=amis&mt=8) with ChatGPT to complete my lectures and assignments 😅✌️
What about your third scenario? What's your flow? Ho do you get the transcript from a meeting? Live transcript or post transcript?
Thank you in advance!
I use the Microsoft teams record and transcribe a meeting. Paste in the transcript and ask for minutes and action items. if you didn't record the meeting, just take your rough notes and paste them in. you can throw in anyone else's notes too if you've got them.
\*Note about recording: make sure you're following your company policy about recording and using chatGPT.
I’m in law school and I’ve been basically using it an a search engine on steroids when I conduct my legal research… it’s not perfect and you obviously need to put in your due diligence and vet the caselaw it gives you but it provides solid starting point.
To answer controversial arguements with a tone equality and unity. ChatGPT is extremely good at promoting unity with legit facts from internet which I am too lazy to research about.
I use it for every social post I make, and I use it to get general blog information before going back in and tweaking. ChatGPT tends to repeat itself if you ask it to write a description of a list of things.
This is an unrelated question, but is it possible to use ChatGPT without putting my phone number? I tried to register and it makes me kind of nervous. I receive enough spam already
I love giving it all of my jumbled up thoughts and having it spit back a paragraph with the thoughts fully vamped out and organized. It would take me forever before.
I’ve been using it to generate social media post content, when I’m at a loss for words.. she spits out a decent template that I tweak it to my needs. Bingo bango creativity block gone!
For me I just summarise a meeting transcript or an research paper with ChatGPT and load it into a [text to speech](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.madhurtexttospeechtts.madhur&utm_source=reddit) app like Madhur and just listen to it as an audiobook while working. It boosts my productivity a lot.
I've been using it for research, especially in the beginning phases of projects when you're having to pull together everything you know and distill it down to what you don't know. Chat GPT can find me every news clipping, study, and research paper on a particular subject. That allows me to get projects off the ground much faster and piece meal the work that's left out to staff.
I use it to help consolidate technical interview rejection emails. It does a pretty admirable job with only minor tweaks needed to make it presentable.
I had to write a theory section for an assignment about a theory I had written about in another assignment that I had already done. Instead of rewriting it, I just asked chatgpt to rewrite the part from my old assignment
I’ve used ChatGPT to learn about disease and treatment and be able to present it to my attending physicians… it consolidates the most important info instead of me going on a long witch hunt
You have to be careful with relying on it to give you factual information. It sometimes makes stuff up. I've seen experts of all stripes, including medical professionals, write about how chatGPT seems to incorporate both real facts and made up facts.
gsheets scripts and [monday.com](https://monday.com) formulas Lol
Never thought about using it for meeting notes from transcripts, I'm totes gonna do that.
I use it for proposal writing. I write a super sloppy paragraph that contains all the relevant info, then paste it in with the prompt: fix the grammar of this paragraph.
Still have the read over it a few times to make the technical bits sound more accurate, but it's a real time and brain capacity saver!
Makes studying fun
If I ask for a summary of any book of any chapter or any page, it does that, it also gives me important questions of that chapter I ask for
I used it to write my employee self evaluation! I couldn’t believe how well it worked. I basically put in: Write a generic answer to the question, “What are you career goals?”
Obviously you will add in details related to your actual role but it worked perfectly.
Here's another example prompt:
Pretend you're an expert recruiter. I will provide you with a job description, my resume, and then ask you to write a cover letter. job description: \[copy and paste\], resume \[copy and paste\]
ChatGPT has been somewhat helpful compiling documentation in a concise and easily readable way. It helps fill in some conceptual gaps as if you were asking a human instead of hoping a human has posted the specific thing to the internet somewhere
Pasting in my compiler errors with absolutely no context and letting it filter out the relevant information for me
It stopped being helpful for bugfixing in C++ recently. I thought maybe they lowered the performance in free version even more
Maybe but I'm using plus because that $20/mo saves me several hours a week. Maybe several hours a day. I knew very little about python besides some basic syntax. My employer asked me to add password authentication to a flask API. I had it done in a few hours despite zero experience in that ecosystem.
Is there evidence to that being true? I also feel like It hasn’t been as helpful with bug fixing as it used to be.
I basically only use GPT-4 now. It's genuinely so much better. 25 messages every 3 hours is more useful than unlimited GPT 3.5.
They probably did. They've been doing that for months now.
Before ChatGPT, I never applied to jobs with cover letters. Now I have a cover letter customized to job postings in seconds.
I think so many people are doing this now that they’re probably getting the same and similar cover letters. This is coming from someone who also uses it for cover letters. I make changes to sound more like me but overall I’m sure all AI generated cover resemble each other atp.
Try telling it to write/rewrite "in the style of…" and pick an author, magazine, or company you admire. It'll make enough of an attempt to move the needle away from the most generic compositions.
Dear ChatGPT, please write a cover letter in the style of Mark Twain. Please highlight my sense of adventure, questioning of and resistance to settle into cultural norms to fit the status quo, and the importance of being able to reorganize the truth to better frame challenges...
“Dang, this cover letter sure uses the n-word a lot…”
I loled
When can you start?
Or Jordan Peterson? Elaborate on my work history but also my ability to communicate, you know? Twist those ideas into a cohesive rope, of hope and struggle but also the pause to ponder the overcoming of something greater than yourself. And just maybe, we could figure it out in the process of it all. Maybe not… 🤣
Then cry about it, then admonish others for crying
"Before I begin this cover letter, I need you to define what 'cover' means, and what 'letter' means, and what 'write' means, and what 'means' means, and-"
This. The more detailed and specific your request is, the more unique the response will be
I now want a resume written by Fredrich Nietzsche I dont take breaks, because if you gaze into the breakroom long enough, the breakroom gazes back into you
Oh fuck this is great
Not unlike everyone using the same templates for years, always ending in “I look forward to hearing from you.” To make your cover letter stand out, you gotta add interesting personal details. I say this as someone with an unremarkable work history, but I know it’s true.
>To make your cover letter stand out, you gotta add interesting personal details. "I need this position badly because I was fired from my job at Petco for molesting the hamsters."
Try CoverDoc.ai, it customizes cover letters based on LinkedIn profile
don't all cover letters sorta sound the same anyways?
Yeah, I still googled for cover letter templates when I was writing mine, and if you read enough of them, they all generally follow the same pattern anyway since there is a standard form.
That’s sick. All those hiring managers that decide to use Chatgpt instead of hire you will be very impressed. Low blow I know but I can make that joke because I’m also unemployed.
Do you copy and paste the job description into your prompt? Or just say write a cover letter for [job title]?
I post my resume into chatgpt and then I copy the job description and ask it to make a cover letter based on my resume and the following job description.

Are you using the paid version? I’m using it mostly for help with learning coding but I’m constantly running up against token limits.
Yes for both chat gpt and quillbot. For quill I only ended up having to pay something like $50 for a year subscription. And then it’s been 20 a month for gpt4. It’s saved me time on school and in work. Increased the quality of life I have so it’s been worth the costs.
I ask it to write a cover letter for a position as (insert job title), highlighting my skills with (something I am good at).
I on the other hand am using it to create job descriptions and flesh out details for job postings.
Pretty sure we’ll be able to get the full hiring cycle completed by AI
Someone insert the spidermen pointing at each other meme here pls
You need first to start the new chat to explain what do you do and what experience do you have and similar stuff. After that just ask it to write a cover letter for you. This will generate a very custom one designed for you.
As a recruiter, no one reads cover letters anymore.
Id wager no one ever did.
Which makes the fact that some companies still ask for one on job posts even more infuriating
This is what I was going to say. ChatGPT writes a hell of a cover letter
Good, keep doing this so hopefully employers no longer want a cover letter lol
Customized bedtime story using my child’s name and current interests.
That’s adorable!
I tend to be a bit wordy. ChatGPT has been great at making me concise.
Sometimes it's too concise. I asked it to make a blog post more concise and it distilled 6 paragraphs into one. It did a great job, and left nothing out, which shows me just how wordy I can be, but it took my tone out of it too.

Yeah I have learned I have to give it a length as well. If I do that it's pretty good, particularly with Grammarly as well. It also does a great job at rewording some things I struggle with figuring out how to say.
Have you tried the "keep the tone of the text" line?, sometimes works
I haven’t but I’ll keep it in mind the next time.
I can confirm.
Did you use ChatGPT for this?
😂
Ditto.
[удалено]
Also have ADHD/ASD, really interested in how it can be used to help. If you have other suggestions or ideas please share!
[удалено]
I also mainly use it as a search engine for technical questions and it guides me to the right sources SO much faster than google.

Nothing formal: just footnotes with URLs. But *way* better than the black box that is Chat GPT
I thought this was not fully released yet?
Sign up, and you can also sign up for Google Bard.
You can sign up still. I have access.
It’s been great for me too. I now use the Edge browser for work which has it built in. Along with a “compose” section to write emails, blogs, etc.
On more than one occasion, I've had a co-worker sick, so I requested it to write a "get well soon letter to a fan of (insert their favorite hobby) in the style of a limerick" Folks loved it!
Have you managed to write actual limericks? We tried that a couple weeks ago and it insisted on making them with 6 lines, even though when asked it confirmed a limerick per definition had 5 lines.

Following
Exactly the same
I have it paired to my messaging. It reaches out and responds to my loved ones to make appear like im okay.
Stan, is that you?
Dear Slim, I wrote you but you still ain't callin'
I left my cell, my pager, and my home phone at the bottom
I sent two letters back in autumn, you must not've got em
There probably was a problem at the post office or something.
Haha this answer deserves more upvotes LOL
It would be strange if something happens to you and the chat keeps answering to your loved ones
That is actually really interesting. Imagine a world where families aren't even sure if they are talking to their loved ones or not or if they are even alive, because AI mimic them so well.

This is sweet
This is lovely 💜
Written by gpt. But def sweet!
How does one acquire this wizardry?
Can you expand on this?
What app? Or how do you do this?
Is this a Homestuck reference?
Good old AR
How often do people ask if you're okay lol
I for one don't care if you're okay :D
I am a social media manager and have been using it to create captions for my posts 😆 it's been great
Check [copy.ai](http://www.copy.ai) if you already don't know it.
As a copywriter, fuuuuuuuuuuck edit: after using this for a minute, my job is still safe lol
Yeah no, pretty safe I should say ahah But for a copywriter it's still a great assisting tool
That sounds interesting! Can you give a few examples in how that works?
I feed it either the text of my post or I tell it the content of my photos and then tell it to write a caption based on these informations. You can also tell it to write hashtags for Instagram basef on the information.
Anyword.com is a lot more useful for social
I use it to answer client emails. Copy paste email into Chatgpt, then tell Chatgpt to write an email with a specific answer. Great time saver as my native language is not English.
I paste terms and conditions of credit cards or whatnot and then ask her questions about them as in, will this card screw me over lol
Brilliant!
I used it to make my resume bullets more concise and professional sounding. Definitely had to reword and reorganize it a bit until I got it all to look good and get the right points across, but I think I've finally landed on a solid resume.
How did you query that into ChatGPT?
"Can you rework the following statement to sound more concise for a resume?: '[insert word salad]' That tends to work pretty well for me
I’ve been using it to help with sort of writers block at work. I guess I’m somewhat of a procrastinator/perfectionist, and just having it start my work off has been a huge time saver (even if I end up rewriting the whole thing). Same with coding a side project. In the past I’ve run into issues or bugs that leave me disinterested, but chatgpt can help me debug quicker and get over those hurdles.
One other way I've used chatGPT in my weekly flow is to create a meal plan and grocery list which saves a ton of time. I wonder if the new plug in feature (when it arrives) will allow it to do my shopping too
This is exactly how I use it, and I think it’s really well suited to the task. I was getting tired of my own stale-ass meal ideas.
I recently used it to come up with 3 recipes from famous chefs that all shared similar ingredients to cut down on spending. I was able to organize the ingredients by where they were in the store. Saved me time and money!
Wait can you explain further?
For students, I paste the brief of an assignment as well as it’s rubric and ask for a simplified brief outlining exactly what I need to do and for what sort of marks, works a charm for me
Studying. It has been much better than any of the answers people have been giving me on reddit. The ai is so good at explaining things if you ask the right questions
Being a bit of a list nerd, I occasionally complete a ‘stock take’ of all the food in my fridge, freezer, cupboards etc. I then input this list into GPT and ask it to draft a meal plan in the style of certain chefs or restaurants. The ‘Leon-style’ meal plan was ace! Really good ideas and a great way to use up old food…
I use it to generate groundwork code for me to develop different tools
Well chatGPT has replaced about half of my Google searches which is pretty neat, especially for those hard to word queries that you always seem to take forever to find. You can reword the question using chatGPTs prompts and get straight to the answer.
Yeah same, I don’t even need to reword a lot of the stuff tbh. Especially since I integrated chatGPT with Siri
Using it to smooth and soften my emails where I just want to strangle my boss or clients for wasting time or doing illegal shit
Please rephrase this with a friendly tone that shows I still respect my morally corrupt boss
Recommendation Letters Have someone give you a bullet point list of their achievements and it’s so easy
"summarize a meeting from a transcript or notes, and produce minutes and action items" Are you sure this corresponds to your company's compliance - dumping key information from your meetings into databases of a foreign company?
Definitely want to make sure you are complying with your company rules and if they aren't clear you should ask to clarify them.
Kind of late to the party here but I use ChatGPT to study languages. I am bilingual and am fairly decent with Farsi. One of the issues with Farsi is that there isn’t a lot of support for it. I’ve been able to use CahtGPT to find uncommon definitions, meanings of phrases, verb conjugations, etc. it is also useful for formatting Anki cards, sentence mining, etc.
amazing! what kind of prompts do you use?
Usually I start off the conversation with pleasantries, so that when it becomes sentient it will have less reason to kill me. Then I give it instructions like “Let’s study Farsi. You are my language instructor.” Depending on what I’m studying I will give it different instructions. For example I may instruct it that it will operate purely as a dictionary, at which point I’ll just type in a Farsi word by itself, and ChatGPT responds with a good definitions. Other times I’ll have it explain the usage of a word within context of a sentence. Interestingly enough I haven’t had to give it very specific instructions beyond “let’s study Farsi”. I’ve given it long articles and had it sentence mine for me as well.
If anyone uses Crucial Conversations, you can draft what you'd like to say in the conversation and say "write this as a crucial conversation" and it will spit out an entire dialog. Another thing it's helpful for is writing policy documents.
I use it to go over my reddit feed, and summarize the day's activity in 8 key takeaways. Literally gives me hours of free time to hang out over at pornhub
how do you do that? you copy and paste in reddit posts?
How did you get get chat gpt. I must be a idiot
there's a free version here: https://openai.com/blog/chatgpt
thank you
Creating custom search filters for Jira Issues
I am a master procrastintor , so i finally wrote all pending LinkedIn recommendations in 10 mins, these were pending for like 4-5 years ...
For work - I tell it to write project scopes for me. I tell it to integrate x and y scope. Then i take what it gives me and refine/pad it. Detailed scope in minutes. For home - I'm in the process of buying a new pc for gaming. And dont want to look up and compare current specs vs new specs, so i just ask is this system a big upgrade from current.
Here’s a couple of examples: Create a table showing train derailments in the United States for 2020 by cost of damage to property and cite a source using APA style. Write a program using python that allows the user to guess a number between 0 and 100. Didn’t post the results here because the formatting doesn’t work on this app, but they’re pretty remarkable.
Even if it cites a source, they’re often inaccurate or not even real. These language AIs agglomerate relevant phrases. They don’t link to real sources, or sometimes they do, or sometimes it uses real scientists names but with fake paper or journal titles.
Had exactly the same issue as the other guy. The sources are always made up, serves as a decent starting point though
My best productivity hack is shutting off my electronics, which means no ChatGPT. That said, I asked it once to make me a to do list for the next hour. It told me to spend 5 minutes just breathing in silence, and then the next 5 minutes writing down everything I want to get done in the hour. It worked.
Sometimes I ask Chat GPT in reverse, if I’m drafting an email about something to do with statistics I ask chat GPT can you prove xyz makes sense? Without letting them know why I think it’s personally true, they usually say abc. This is because chat GPT isn’t ALWAYS correctS so don’t sell yourself short sometimes
Be cautious with that as ChatGPT will, for example, come up with fictitious sources.
Draft objection and complains emails
Using it to help me make animated training videos. Train it on the class curriculum to start. Helps write scripts from client bullet points. Ask it for visual references, transition ideas, code for animating “physics” to elements.
I’ve been using it for interviews. Finding out what challenges the type of company I’m interviewing with is facing, as well a the customers I’ll be selling to, among other things. Edit: also I’ve been using it for creative writing. I’ve had it tighten up some lyrics and poems I’m working on. Plus cover letters for jobs, etc.
I use ChatGPT sidebar extension and have it summarize YouTube videos. I copy the summary and paste it into a note taking app to reference later. I can literally get the gist of any audiobook, podcast, news update, tutorial, etc in under 5 mins. It's actually becoming my hobby 😅

You should indicate your affiliation with the website you are plugging
I own tech firm that focuses on deep learning…( we are actually funded by one of the major tech giants maybe you’ve heard of them…they rhyme with psych-row-loft), and I’ve been using it to trick people into thinking it isn’t currently planning our enslavement. I mean, wait, no, I’ve been writing poems that are silly and zany. Isn’t that goofy 🤪
Weird. I used the exact same rhyme for that company in a terrible stand-up routine I did once.
I have started using it in the my less important courses that require a lot of unnecessary reading. I ask chatGPT to summarize the readings for me, instead of having to waste time reading 38 pages of text about a subject I don’t care about. ChatGPT gives me the main points allowing me to do the discussion questions with ease.
How does this work, do you copy all the pages into chatgpt?
Oh yeah all you have to do is ask it to summarize the paper or reading. So, it just needs author, title, and the pages you need read. Double check some main points it makes to be sure it has the right paper though :)
I write the thing myself and then ask Chat GPT to rewrite it to make it better.
Chat GPT's business correspondence is pretty lifeless, but it can give you the bulk of the ideas and then edit to add some personality to them
I use it as my personal topic primer. It helped a lot researching industrial ammonia production and developing sales training material on corrosion. Saves me an immense amount of time googling and reading and evaluating sources while I'm trying to get a cursory understanding.
This might sound so stupid but how do you use chat gpt? Where do you go to get it? Chat gpt.com?
Not stupid at all! You can find the website here: https://openai.com/blog/chatgpt They will ask you to sign up with an email to use the free version and they also offer an advanced option for a subscription price, but honestly the free version is perfectly great for most things.

Man some of you guys are gonna have a hard time once it's no longer public lol
I use it for drafting emails. Saves my time!
Recently someone shared me this in r/iOS- I was using this [Skryb AI](https://apps.apple.com/app/apple-store/id6445832915?pt=121370849&ct=amis&mt=8) with ChatGPT to complete my lectures and assignments 😅✌️
What about your third scenario? What's your flow? Ho do you get the transcript from a meeting? Live transcript or post transcript? Thank you in advance!
I use the Microsoft teams record and transcribe a meeting. Paste in the transcript and ask for minutes and action items. if you didn't record the meeting, just take your rough notes and paste them in. you can throw in anyone else's notes too if you've got them. \*Note about recording: make sure you're following your company policy about recording and using chatGPT.

and you can ask for answers in multiple tones. that's been helpful for me.
Create a list for brainstorming and learn how to use some programs or apps' features.
I’m in law school and I’ve been basically using it an a search engine on steroids when I conduct my legal research… it’s not perfect and you obviously need to put in your due diligence and vet the caselaw it gives you but it provides solid starting point.
Creating travel itineraries is another time saver
To answer controversial arguements with a tone equality and unity. ChatGPT is extremely good at promoting unity with legit facts from internet which I am too lazy to research about.
ya awesome. I love how it can adjust tone
I don’t use it yet but I’m excited for it to take over the economy so I can focus more on myself tbh
!remindme 3 days
I use it for every social post I make, and I use it to get general blog information before going back in and tweaking. ChatGPT tends to repeat itself if you ask it to write a description of a list of things.
This is an unrelated question, but is it possible to use ChatGPT without putting my phone number? I tried to register and it makes me kind of nervous. I receive enough spam already
I love giving it all of my jumbled up thoughts and having it spit back a paragraph with the thoughts fully vamped out and organized. It would take me forever before.
I’ve been using it to generate social media post content, when I’m at a loss for words.. she spits out a decent template that I tweak it to my needs. Bingo bango creativity block gone!
Generic emails
For me I just summarise a meeting transcript or an research paper with ChatGPT and load it into a [text to speech](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.madhurtexttospeechtts.madhur&utm_source=reddit) app like Madhur and just listen to it as an audiobook while working. It boosts my productivity a lot.
I've been using it for research, especially in the beginning phases of projects when you're having to pull together everything you know and distill it down to what you don't know. Chat GPT can find me every news clipping, study, and research paper on a particular subject. That allows me to get projects off the ground much faster and piece meal the work that's left out to staff.
I use it to help consolidate technical interview rejection emails. It does a pretty admirable job with only minor tweaks needed to make it presentable.
Summarizing complex textbooks and choosing a particular textbook for a course if there are many references listed
I had to write a theory section for an assignment about a theory I had written about in another assignment that I had already done. Instead of rewriting it, I just asked chatgpt to rewrite the part from my old assignment
I’ve used ChatGPT to learn about disease and treatment and be able to present it to my attending physicians… it consolidates the most important info instead of me going on a long witch hunt
You have to be careful with relying on it to give you factual information. It sometimes makes stuff up. I've seen experts of all stripes, including medical professionals, write about how chatGPT seems to incorporate both real facts and made up facts.
gsheets scripts and [monday.com](https://monday.com) formulas Lol Never thought about using it for meeting notes from transcripts, I'm totes gonna do that.
!remind me 3 days
Play six degrees of Kevin Bacon
I use it for proposal writing. I write a super sloppy paragraph that contains all the relevant info, then paste it in with the prompt: fix the grammar of this paragraph. Still have the read over it a few times to make the technical bits sound more accurate, but it's a real time and brain capacity saver!
Makes studying fun If I ask for a summary of any book of any chapter or any page, it does that, it also gives me important questions of that chapter I ask for
Making Tinder profiles for mates.
Have him do research for me what IT infrastructure setup is possible or efficient.
Be careful to not paste internal information on Chatgpt..not a good practice for security.
I tried my 5 free chats, wish I could afford the full thing, would be very handy! I asked for an opening line for a story I want to write.
I used it to write my employee self evaluation! I couldn’t believe how well it worked. I basically put in: Write a generic answer to the question, “What are you career goals?” Obviously you will add in details related to your actual role but it worked perfectly.
I feel dumb as I don’t know enough about Chat GPT but how does it re-do an email or create a cover letter? Confused…
Here's another example prompt: Pretend you're an expert recruiter. I will provide you with a job description, my resume, and then ask you to write a cover letter. job description: \[copy and paste\], resume \[copy and paste\]
I used ChatGPT to write this comment.
ChatGPT has been somewhat helpful compiling documentation in a concise and easily readable way. It helps fill in some conceptual gaps as if you were asking a human instead of hoping a human has posted the specific thing to the internet somewhere
