Its a pretty good teacher because you can ask the same question over and over until you understand.
Except it refuses to aknowledge wrong knowledge or impossible methods. Until you tell it so, at which point it will agree with you even if you are also objectively wrong to tell it that.
I’ve coherced some systems into doing things they were absolutely not initially meant to do. ChatGTP would straight up tell me wrong and misleading ways to achieve them, and would be too ignorant to realize with enough stubbornness and with existing obscure info and the right mindset, a correct one existed. And at no point, not even with prodding and handholding, would it be able to have a useful conversation surrounding the why’s of the current state of art.
It’s not an expert system and it’s stupid as fuck to treat it as one.
I’m not asking what the answer is. I’m asking why things are done and the answer gives me a few different reasons why it is done. It’s very helpful. The answers all seem reasonable and I’ve not experienced any dumb answers so far.
There are some limitations. I’ve asked some questions relating to my courses and it doesn’t always get it right.
GPT4 or 3.5? What are you studying?
4; microecon. Often when asked to solve cost minimization problems with supplied info, it states the problem can’t be solved, and that there might be a problem with the questions.
The biggest issue imo is that due to the way it works, it never just says “i dont know, i dont have information on that topic”. Instead it just makes something up.
Agreed, it’s always confident, but not always correct.
Don’t use GPT-3.5 for that. It’ll halluzinate pretty quickly. GPT-4 is much better, but it’s still wise to double-check what it says before you make life decisions.
So long as you’re happy potentially getting the wrong answer over and over again.
I think it depends what you’re trying to learn - I’m slowly teaching myself to use Excel beyond the highschool level understanding I have. It’s easy enough to fact-check ChatGPT because the formula either works or it doesn’t. And I’m not to fussed if everything I learn to do is a total bodge job, because it’s just for my personal development, it’s not something I need for work or doing any serious spread sheeting.
Such is the process of learning.
I use it to summarize text book passages into outlined notes which I turn into quizlets to study. I have a hard time paraphrasing and end up copying a lot out of the book. It usually does a good job and hits the key points

Damn, what a waste of precious Chartreuse.
NGL, that drink seems overly sweet and needlessly simplistic (add gin or vodka to the “martini”, FFS), but… I guess?

It got updated a few days ago and the new one is quantized so it’s not quite as smart, might be part of it. The tuned GPTs or plugins make it better overall post-update, though, I think. But the base model definitely got a little dumber.

My favorite use was to create a Discord bot where you could say any card title for a made-up MtG Card, and it generates the card for you, using DALL-E for the card image.
For example, here’s one of my personal favorites using the input “Barney the Dinosaur”:
1/1 with trample 🤣
3/3 as long as this card is around, but the thought of a 1/1 trample does crack me up.
I have seen more useless cards than a 1/1 token with trample. Get a +1/+1 counter farm going and that’s pretty good.
Where can I find this bot?
See this comment.
Tl;dr, I’ll let y’all know when I’m able to share the code.Fair enough, good on you for avoiding a death hug scenario
Omg do u have a repou can share for that it sounds like so much fun
Unfortunately, I was lazy, and I’m webscraping a free MtG card generator to create the cards. I don’t really want to put that code out into the wild and cause problems for the host of that service.
If I can find time, I’ll see if I can figure out a more ethical alternative. When I do, I’ll ping you!
Omg thanks I’d really appreciate that
Since the bottom text is not in cursive, you and your opponent are actually required by the rules to love eachother and eat leaves.
Italic?
Ah, yes. It’s called “kursiv” in my native language, hence my mistake.
Which language?
Norwegian
german too
Wie verwirrend!
Cool fact! Thanks!
A rare intersection of RAW and RAI.
I like that for Barney the Dinosaur, it gave you a green dinosaur instead of a purple one, and its shirt says Barry instead of Barney lmao. Truly fucking nailed it.
Also, like not completely broken. 6 mv for basically 3/3s that could be wiped at any moment is pretty on par for green.
Lol I know absolutely nothing about Magic, so this is total gibberish to me. Is this card really good but not too good “broken” or really bad but not totally useless “broken”?
I would say it’s a very good card, but it’s also quite costly to play. I honestly wouldn’t think twice if I saw a similar card in an actual game.
tapping a 6/6 to make 1/1s would feel weird AF, though
Actually, combined with its other effect, you’d be tapping it to create 3/3s with trample. Not a bad deal at all.
Edit: Oh, and vigilance. I missed that, ironically.
Holy shit I didn’t notice that
until doomblade :p
I use it for programming, brainstorming, and learning things, mostly. It’s like ultra Wikipedia + stack overflow that answers questions in real time.
The other day I was in a game store and I didn’t know what to get and researching everything would take forever so I took a picture of the rack and what games I like and asked what it thought I might enjoy. It was sweet. I haven’t played the game I decided on yet but all of my friends swear by it once I told them it. Dominion, if anyone is wondering.
dominion is a great game. I played it many times, and I definitely recommend it.
I use it to make alternative reality art.
Shit like that. Weird crossovers. Very specific memes that only apply to a single person just to fuck with em.
You can give it a website layout made in ms paint and it’ll try to turn it into html and css
You could probably take a picture of a drawing and have it do that, as well
A friend at work had it rewrite the lyrics of Apple Bottom Jeans in the style of Soviet propaganda. One of the lines came out to “shawty is a true socialist hero”. Having it rewrite lyrics in an incongruous style never gets old.

I just made a GPT for this and it was really awesome! Thanks!
Interesting! Care to share an example?

Thanks for sharing the prompt! How much detail do you give for any one day?

I had it rewrite my vimscript config in lua. I was never going to write that from scratch and now I’m adding to it in lua.
I can sometimes get really good ai generated art by telling Bing what I want and have it request the art for me and continue refining it.
I use it to get ideas and run numbers for my homebrew Pathfinder campaign. That and midjouney and I feel like a real GM.
I’ve used it a little for RPG gm help, but it wasn’t as great as I would like. Half of it is me needing to be a better GM without the need for such tools, and get better at improvisation.
Oh I totally agree. I’ve been DMing since ad&d. This just makes my life so much easier. I can generate a hundred NPCs with basic back stories to fill a town and let my players run wild. It’s super nice as a tool. I definitely wouldn’t suggest it as a full replacement, but I am thinking about doing one shot where I let gpt run the game and tell it what my players do. Might be fun.
You might want to look into Ironsworn 🤘🏼
Same. I’m a new DM (and new to dnd in general, DM’d one one-shot and that’s it, working on a campaign rn) and I use bard to make my narrative ideas fit the mechanics, name homebrew stuff, and clean up the text I’m writing for the players handbook I’m making for this campaign.
I’m a long-time DM and I find ChatGPT awesome for this sort of thing too. I call it my “brainstorming buddy.” Great for bouncing ideas off of, suggesting names for stuff, and so forth.
I’ve found that it’s not very good at game mechanics, though, so don’t rely too heavily on it for balancing stuff.
Oh yeah, I mostly use it to bounce ideas. If it suggest something good, I modify it to make sure if works like I need it to work. Used it to make simple tables and such.
Last thing I used it for was a battle simulation mechanic, in order to have the same effect a huge battle would have, without having tons of different characters to bog down the combat. Havent tested it yet, but it feels like it should work.
By combining it with Plex and Tidal, use Sonic Sage to create playlists.
Ooh, is there a way to do this with Spotify? I have such a hard time committing to making playlists, getting an ai to start them for me would actually be awesome
I’m not sure unfortunately - Sonic Sage is a Plex feature and only Tidal has integration with Plex. It should theoretically be possible for one of the “playlist porting” tools like Soundiiz to make something similar because it’s just getting the list of songs from chatgpt and then adding them from your library or Tidal as available.
I’ve got it teaching me history, biochemistry, and interior design.
