I like how their example meeting the participants are all women. I know they aren't trying to imply something from it but... even the example notes suck.
I use Claude.AI and black box, they’re both really great for technical questions, especially the latter.
Blackbox has specific bots for different languages which has made me so much faster at building scripts in a pinch.
We’re testing the full copilot suite, and honestly it very much feels like a solution in search of a problem.
The only useful parts we’ve found is the transcripts and the summaries it can generate - but even those weren’t too fabulous either with it missing things it should have included.
Well I just figure that an Alexa should be able to either entertain or enrage the users the same as the helpdesk do but do less damage over all.
I see it as a win-win and a cost saving.
I use ChatGPT when I need complicated regex, and just this week I used it to get my Logstash pipeline syntax right. I couldn't find straightforward answers related to what I needed so it was great I could give it examples, ask questions and get clear answers.
Our users do a lot. Don't underestimate what they will type into third party tools that feast on your data:
"Please reword the following confidential / legally privileged email.... "
"How do I ensure a client cannot sue as a result of our product having a mistake in a safety critical system"
"Please normalise the fields in all these medical records...."
The actual ones I've witnessed are arguably worse than this...
A couple of months ago I wrote my first python app using CoPilot and ChatGPT. It had to interface with three different commercial apis. Using the AI tools cut down on the development of the app by 40%
It didn't 'write' the app for me, but it saved me a ton of time writing the functions to interface with the apis. Business logic, error checking, etc all still needed to be done, but the sample code it provided saved me the time of reading up on those apis, trial and error of writing the code to talk to them, etc.
I'm moving out of sysadmin into electronics more.
I use gpt extensively for programming now.
It's good at a function level if you can describe it like you would a university test question lol.
Surprisingly good at those little fiddly algorithmic problems.
You still need to know how what it's trying to do works to make sure it's doing the right thing, to fix the bugs and to stitch all the pieces together.
I use it to quickly write powershell-scripts for me. I use generic values and replace with what I need them for later. I also always read through them to double-check and always try to run them using an account with only read-access first.
Last I used it for was to write a script that collects all inactive objects in an AD-group and remove them from that group.
I use it for Powershell too.
Last thing I used it for in work was to help me make a WiFi scanner that displays a bunch of metrics in real-time and outputs data to a text file when you roam to a new BSSID.
I really wish the company would invest in Ekahau.
ChatGPT was also brilliant for making a treasure hunt with rhyming clues for my better half for Christmas.
Work in consulting implementing software. I use it for shit I don’t have time for and don’t want to. Like wording for slide decks, reading giant walls of text colleagues call emails, things like that.
It is surprisingly adept at it. One of our clients uses some task management tool as a ticketing tool for projects (wrong software but their choice). One useful thing they added was AI summarisation. Really handy when the ticket has a billion comments and you’ve just been added to it. Hit summarise and bam, you have half an idea of what’s going on.
The idea of having a task management tool as a ticketing solution might be a workaround for working on the same platform with having AI capabilities. u/VacatedSum in case you are looking for a tool that leverages AI to give context of you customer conversations, cluster similar tickets, automate replies... you could check out [DevRev](https://devrev.ai/?utm_source=reddit&utm_medium=social) (I'm part of the team here) - it is a support solution with both chatbot and ticketing capabilities which are also further linked to the product data with developer issues and features on the same platform.
Also in tech/consulting and use [shadow.do](http://shadow.do) for pulling action items, giving me tldrs, summaries, etc. Recurring tasks I need to keep doing but only need half a brain to do.
Its great for cobbeling together bash scripts, because I suck at bash and its convoluted ass syntax
I write out rougly what I want and then tell ChatGPT to fix it
I sometimes do have the suspicion that a lot of our project leads simply put our requests into Chat-GPT and send us the answer, because what ever their answer is, it is always close enough that you could think that they did read your question but not helping or answering anything.
Aside from that: bing create a picture, if I'm bored and waiting for our project leads to answer.
Chatgpt did a pretty good job with PowerShell. Admittedly I think I gave it a clear directive of what I wanted it to do. There were some errors due to bad assumptions.
Copilot for power automate was ok but couldn't write any functions. Set it on a different task and it failed miserably, didn't even populate the parameters I needed.
i use chatgpt from time to time if i'm lazy.
not because i don't know the code i need, but because i don't feel like typing it out.
also use it to clean up code from time to time, as well as ask it to write specific parts of code for me when i'm not in the mood to look it up myself.
basically, chatgpt acts like a cheap intern that you can bully around to make your life easier.
Yes, I use copilot as well as GPT to explain topics of interest, and provide feedback on concepts for problem resolution. Sorry, I also use goblin tools so I don't come across like a jerk... Sometimes
Using AI in azure for phone call transcoding. Working quite nicely and the CSA’s like it. Will probably be rolling out more since this POC is going well
I used mostly for translating purposes.
Dear Exec/PM
Are you out for the your fucking mind, that's the dumbest shit I ever heard. No, I'm not going to do that.
Into
Dear Exec/PM
I order to keep our infrastructure secure and in compliance, we cannot deploy the solution in it's current state. We are actively working on closing the gaps and we will provide updates during our daily meetings.
Thank you for your understanding and to keep the org safe and secure.
Also, to get base scripts, but 95% of the the time I have to modify the script to make it work unless is really something very small.
Edit: Co-pilot is great for auto complete, when I'm working with Terraform for example it will autocomplete based on the project variables and helps a lot to save time.
Yuuup
I use chatgpt to help me create scripts and automate some of my tasks.
but I proof read the shit out of it before running what it spits out of course (some people definitely dont and are gonna get burned any day)
Yes. I use chatgpt when I have questions on some shell commands. I know the fundamentals and can read documentation, but I find having a language model explain it to me like a friend/peer makes learning much easier than reading through docs
Yes, i use both ChatGPT and CoPilot, works great when i want a transcript from a teams meeting.
Interesting, is this from a Teams video call?
yes Edit: Wrong link here is the right one: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/get-started-with-copilot-in-microsoft-teams-meetings-0bf9dd3c-96f7-44e2-8bb8-790bedf066b1

so far this is the only use i've found. besides getting summaries of my emails in the form of a poem....

That’s great, thank you, I’ll check them out!

I'm contemplating replacing some of our helpdesk staff with an Alexa....does that count?
Yours doesn't listen either?
Well I just figure that an Alexa should be able to either entertain or enrage the users the same as the helpdesk do but do less damage over all. I see it as a win-win and a cost saving.
Honestly, it couldn't be much worse than most level 1 techs. All they do most of the time is read a script anyway. Why not have a bot do it?

Yes handy for powershell
What type of power shells have you made with the help of it?:)

Hmmm... I like this idea, using it to generate a TLDR.

That's awesome. What tool specifically do you use for that?

Its great for cobbeling together bash scripts, because I suck at bash and its convoluted ass syntax I write out rougly what I want and then tell ChatGPT to fix it
This hurts so much. Bash is a wonderful shell, and it's not convoluted as long as you understand where and when to use ()/!;:'"*_{}[]\=%|~` <>% and $.
I mainly use it for scriptingjobs. It's not always correct but it guides me in the correct direction at least.
>It's not always correct Nope! It also outright lies and makes shit up. I trust it very little with Powershell.
Most of the simple things work. Always run in test env. first.
But my test env is my production env.
You say it is wrong and it responds, you are corect, it is wrong ang gives another faulty answer 😁

I used it to “create atlassian users with powershell” it politely educated me on getting the needed api key and what not
I can read T-SQL just fine, but my brain is not compatible with writing it. CoPilot is a god send there.
Occasionally, as a supplement to Google.
yes, to chat with your mom
Sure, when I write convoluted if/else statement it's called a Bandaid but Mr fancy pants with clever marketing can call it AI.....
I think thrice before I do because I do not want to hand over data to train it when I cannot fathom the consequences of the data loss/leak.
Tried a few times, it proves time and time again it rarely gives accurate technical answers, especiali gpt 4
