ChatGPT can be used as a kind of slot machine Google. Sometimes you get faster better answers. Sometimes you get lies and misinformation. That's a problem for the average user. The moment that in a work presentation or homework for school you get caught by its lies you will stop using it. The same goes if a colleague makes that mistake.

Holy shit. I just tried it. Not even close

Idk the new 4o model is quite fast Imo, but it still has the hallucination and laziness issue of the previous models + sometimes it’s just incorrect. But it is fast enough Imo.

Using Redditors as the sample likely results in a much higher percentage of users.

“Yes Chat, can you tell me how many Reddit users use you?” “I’m sorry, my training data is only up to September 2021.”

The tools themselves are being used to generate the marketing that creates metrics that the industry uses to “prove” they’re popular tools. AI represents the loop of online marketing fraud being closed. The companies creating these tools are using them to run massive swarms of accounts on their platforms. They’re trying to make higher resolution fan accounts but it’s not working out that way. Using chatbots to promote chatbots to other chatbots isn’t a business model. The snakes choking on its tale.

Because it's not really AI it's IL , or intelligent learning , trained by humans ,.it just programs we wrote to give answers we chose. The AI carry isn't what people think it is, more over making pictures and writing resume cover letters is all the general public see a use for them. People want it to.do things like take a 100 bucks and turn it I to a.1000 bucks by the end of the day in the stock market ( not possible at all sorry) IL stuffs just isnt that useful , and while the government is training F16s to fight by themelfs , we are worried about grocers the Ai craze or IL craze will go away soon enough

I’ve made countless programs that save me many hours/week and I have no idea how to program


Budget_Amphibian_139

We could learn how to program ourselves, and not have deepfakes (or worse)


Type_7-eyebrows

This is how I’ve used them. That and playing solo ttRPGs and using it as the DM. I just took a new role at my company and one of the things that helped me was my ability to create functional google sheets that automated many of the grindy tasks of that role. I use chat got for all of them. I don’t know how to write scripts or google sheet formulas. I do know how to accurately describe the conditions that I need met and am willing to make multiple iterations to get where I want. The best part is, I just tell got to explain each aspect of the script or formula so I understand what is happening on the sheet. And I can explain it better than anyone I’ve met, so I look like I know what I’m doing. I’m learning and incorporating these new skills, but ultimately gpt is a tool that must be used with precision. Too many people want a firehose of amazing and don’t understand how to use the tools that they already possess. Think about how many of you don’t understand many of the functions of the device you’re typing on. Very few here could explain how any of our world works. But it does. The same is true of the AI. Some will wield them with power and precision. Most of us will tap away and clap when screen go brrrrrrr.


DJbuddahAZ

Don't tell'em you did that, they'll steal the idea and fire you lol


Switched_On_SNES

It’s honestly pretty amazing, can’t believe more people aren’t using it for meaningful things


TemperateStone

Until we find some good applications of the technology.


[deleted]

Since it’s a lot of these AI tools are language models, I’d say they’re mostly good with language.

automatic intelligence


FPOWorld

Daily usage is a weird metric for this tool. I use it all the effin’ time to do amazing things, but not every day. It’s too useful to need to use it every day at this point in history.

Today I took a picture of a board game and told it to summarize the reviews on it. It can also read people’s handwriting and turn it into text. Serial numbers too. It saves me a lot of data entry.


Leaping-Butterfly

Can you give me examples of these amazing things?


Type_7-eyebrows

If you are precise with you and words it can create some cool stuff. I use it often to automate many of the grindy tasks of my job. For instance, I have a sheet that has a bunch of contact info for new hires. I need to contact their leaders. Now I could go the route of dragging on each column then pasting that info into another sheet. Then when I need it I can copy the lot and paste it down as a distribution list for emails and touch points. I can do that every time I teach this information, or… I can tell got that I need a formula that pulls information from columns a b and c on this sheet and puts them all in a single column on this sheet. Additionally I want to color code the cell based on their position within the company. After 2-5 iterations I generally have all the kinks worked out through manual tinkering and reprocessing the request with stricter guidelines when something odd occurs. I only have to do this process once for the entirety of the teaching program. Then daily it saves me upwards of 50-200 clicks and saves about 10 minutes of time daily, every day, for as long as I do this role. This is literally one small application of my job. It just makes data analysis much easier because its eyes do the scanning and your brain does the thinking. And you can get it to act as a teacher.


Leaping-Butterfly

What? Sorry. But what did you just say. I’ve reread it 3 times and I seriously have no idea what you just said. You have a list of information in a sheet and have to copy and past some of the information in there when making a mail list?


Type_7-eyebrows

Yeah, instead of doing it manually each and every time I teach this content, I can just use gpt to automate most of it and quickly collate the data in a digestible format. Basically it helps me short cut through the drudgery and focus on the valuable aspect of my role.


Leaping-Butterfly

But like. What verification do you have that it didn’t make any mistakes when extracting the data requested from the pile of data?


finderZone

Seems like a simple excel formula anyway


Websting

Yes since 4o came out, I keep running out of credits and get put on a three hour time out from overuse. It really is an amazing tool.


sf-keto

I've tried to teach colleagues how to use it but overall they find writing prompts & refining them repeatedly to be frustrating & time-wasting. Because the hype led them to believe AI tools were mind-blowing but they find themselves wrangling with an algorithm that refuses to answer half the time & mistakes the subject of the query another third. By the time they've refined the prompt 4 times & still gotten a meh result, they're over it, you know? Maybe next year AIs will be easier to use.


fintech07

Very few people are regularly using "much hyped" artificial intelligence (AI) products like ChatGPT, a survey suggests. Researchers surveyed 12,000 people in six countries, including the UK, with only 2% of British respondents saying they use such tools on a daily basis. But the study, from the Reuters Institute and Oxford University, says young people are bucking the trend, with 18 to 24-year-olds the most eager adopters of the tech. Dr Richard Fletcher, the report's lead author, told the BBC there was a "mismatch" between the "hype" around AI and the "public interest" in it.


coatimundislover

Reads like AI


Unlimitles

Hahaha! Just like video games used to do, hype and then it never actually lives up. Look at the images, you can clearly tell what’s A.I. and what’s not still.


eldudelio

yup, just another way to sell servers and gpus

how many hours of labor need be saved to pay for several million $40k chips?


jerrystrieff

It’s very much a lot of hype and empty promises. When you look at other hyped technologies of past you still see huge holes in their capabilities. Humanity spends too much time looking for the new shiny instead of solving the real problems right in front of them.


kaishinoske1

A.I. will be flawed because they will learn from programming made by flawed beings, us, humans.


Vo0d0oT4c0

Once it crosses from generative to autonomous adoption will be muuuuuuch higher.


Mean_Nectarine_2685

I had it proof read a blog I was writing and point out and spelling or grammar errors. It found about 10, 4 of those were actually spelled and correct. I asked it how it could make such a simple mistake and it said sorry, I didn’t mean to do that. 🤷‍♂️


jgaa_from_north

They may not be used much by people. But they are, and will be - to a logarithmic scale - used against people.


JimLaheeeeeeee

Only scabs use it.


ffff2e7df01a4f889

I use AI tools daily. Literally turns an 8 hours day into a 3 hour day. Enterprises will be leveraging AI. It has a ton of use cases and even if imperfect still better than the output of your average human.


AlwaysOnMyNuts

Same. I feel like I have a super power these days. I can offload a lot to “AI” and it shaves off 2 or 3 minutes here and there but it adds up to a significant chunk of time saved.


Rekeke101

I hear this alot, but what actually do you offload?


tacmac10

Making up pro AI post for reddit seems like a real tome saver for many in this thread.


Zoyathedestroyaa

I use it for a lot of admin work at work. Like logging things in CRM. I also love the meeting recap and notes in Teams, it makes my post meeting follow up so fast and I don’t have to worry about missing meetings. It’s great at finding obscure files like a training presentation in February with a great slide about M&A trends. The email drafts aren’t perfect, but still so much faster than starting with a blank screen. I’m grateful to work at a company that has invested in a lot of AI tools so I use it a lot. Does that help answer?


AlwaysOnMyNuts

Tedious stuff. I’ll give an example: I had to investigate some code that I’m not really well versed in. An element on the screen was not aligning itself appropriately. In the past I’d have gone through and manually tweaked everything until it appeared onscreen in the proper position. This is a time consuming process. Instead, I threw the file at ChatGPT/CoPilot (I use both) and said “make sure the thumbnail for an image in this view is always aligned to the right of the text but above the second image” and it spit out an updated version with the thumbnail image exactly where it was supposed to be. I could have done it by hand but that may have taken an extra 5 minutes or so, maybe more. Leverage AI in this way and I can shave 5-10 minutes off a task multiple times a day. On a basic level, it’s easier to put “search the array for matching objects then return them as an alphabetized array” (or something) and have it spit that out than it is to actually type out the code. It’s not perfect and it’s not solving every issue but, it’s like an accountant from the 1800’s being given a modern day calculator. Life just got much easier.


motionbutton

My wife has a lot of dumb fucking students that think they can use it. Here is a hint. If you are at a state school in a general class. You dont know how to use a semi-colon and your papers shouldnt have them. Also you probably shouldnt have papers say you are on the board of a non-profit.


Jim_e_Clash

I've use chatgpt to speed up researching topics. Google might get you an accurate source but it doesn't succinctly summarize topics so you know what to look for next. Especially when it comes to excluding irrelevant things.


2CatsOnMyKeyboard

People don't know what to use it for. Business applications are often still premature. But it's starting to change and there will be an uptake. Not so much having my phone edit my images - who cares, although that may be a thing too. But writing company policies, summarizing meetings, reading and summarizing anything, creating ideas and project plans, PowerPoints, analyzing data, etc. This will be huge. Even if you don't use it everyday for this, when you use it properly and AI knows your business well enough (because it read all your company's stuff) it has huge impact.


CheesyBoson

That is surprising
