Does anyone use Chatgpt?

I don't use Chat GPT very much, but I do on occasion. However, I use Copilot a lot, and have found it to be an extremely useful tool. It's abilities far exceed what most people would think to use it for. Once in a while it can be in error, so it's not perfect, but for anyone who wants to save a lot of time, it's a game changer.

Yeah, that's what I keep calling Bing. It’s Microsoft's tool. I also use the one called GitHub Copilot with computer programming.

Don't seek out AI. Not yet, anyway. This thread making me curious.

It's fun for creative things, @Pepper Case in point... I just told CoPilot to create a 4-line poem about a lady named Pepper trying AI for the first time:

Pepper tapped the screen with curious grace,
A spark of wonder lit her face.
She asked, it answered—swift and sly,
"Well, hello future," she whispered, "so this is AI."

No, but since my daughter deserted me for France, I'll have to. She finds ChatGPT useful for translations. I am applying for German citizenship (born there, German mother) and I don't have enough German to fill out the zillions of forms to prove that I am entitled to citizenship. Once I get it, so will my children. They need a country to go to if things get too hairy here. I must provide the option, no matter what they decide to do in the future.

Good for translation. Not so good for obtaining citizenship information. My mother was a dual citizen and grandmother a resident alien who immigrated from Europe. I typed in the specifics of my situation and it made getting a second passport seem easy-peasy. I went to the website for the country and not quite what AI told me. I fall in a gray area that requires a solicitor to sort out.

AI reminds me of that know-it-all kid in class that always had a confident answer for the teacher, but was sometimes spectacularly wrong. Ha!

A term people use for describing AI is being "Confidently Incorrect ".
 
I like CHATGPT but I only use the free version so it keeps running out of time before I get what I want. It also makes mistakes because it doesn't read my mind very well! I'm trying to make a bond ladder that would act like an annuity and the first time it took me a number of attempts before I communicated exactly what it should do, then CHATGPT told me my time was up.

So then another session I made progress and thought I had what I wanted, but it gave me exact dollars but to make a bond ladder it needs to be in round thousands, so I asked it to tweak that and it went all wrong because it did inflation adjustments on the rounded up withdrawal amounts, but before I could rephrase my request to be what I really meant, it ran out of time again.

On the other hand, if I ever manage to express my needs accurately, I think it will do real well, since the equations it uses are a lot easier for it to figure out than for me.

Example of one equation it is doing:

It also made me a really awesome chair exercise daily program a few months ago when I was having lumbar spinal stenosis pain and numbness. I checked out each of chatgpt's exercises on physical therapy channels on YouTube (tho the PT people on YouTube contradict each other a lot so it took a while to winnow out the crazies).

I'm a fan of Duckduckgo.. I use it as email adresses as well, so I don't get trackers. ..but I've rarely used their AI

The Duckduckgo ai currently is really hit and miss. Great answers sometimes and really dumb answers sometimes. Earlier today I asked it for a list of companies that sold a certain product. The answer was completely incorrect. I told it that the answer was incorrect and gave it more information related to what I was looking for, and it just repeated the same wrong answer.
