So basically from what I’ve read, most people use it for natural language processing problems.
Example: turn this infodump into a bullet point list, or turn this bullet point list into a coherent text, help me with rephrasing this text, word association, etc.
Other people use it for simple questions that it can answer with a database of verified sources.
Also, a few people use it as struggle duck, basically helping alleviate writers block.
Thanks guys.
A fringe case I’ve found ChatGPT very useful is to learn more about information that is plentiful but buried in dead threads in various old school web forums and thus very hard to Google. Like other people’s experiences from homebrewing. Then I ask it for sources and most often it is accurate to the claims of other homebrewers that also can be correct or less correct.
