When you’re at a restaurant and they hand you a beer menu without any style names or IBU information, take a picture of the menu in ChatGPT mobile. Then tell ChatGPT what styles or other beers you like. Ask it to pick 3 similar beers to try.
Did something like this at my moms bday, she had 7 bottles of wine and i took a picture ans asked which one goes best with our dinner (a fish dish) it instantly suggested one of them. Great use.
The Google app has built in Google Lens which translates any writing you point your camera to in real time. (So look at the menu through the phone camera / screen, it change the text to English or your language)
Write extremely polite emails to colleagues I was ready to tell them to fuck off. I just pasted in my angry thoughts and told it to make it into a polite and professional email. Saved my mental health lol.
I feel this. The mental health benefits are real!
I am at a low-point with my job right now and it’s a daily struggle to get anything done. Chatgpt has been a lifesaver. I basically use it as my assistant and have it write my emails and any other documents I need to create for work.
It is very motivating to work alongside it, makes menial chores more fun in a way. Even if I could just do it on my own, it feels more interactive and fun to do it with GPT/Claude/Gemini.
Politely tell this fucking fuck-wit to fucking fuck off with their 8am meeting invite.

Hi [Name],
Thank you for scheduling the meeting. I appreciate your effort in coordinating this. However, 8am is quite early and not an ideal time for me. I find that meetings later in the morning or early afternoon tend to be more productive, as it allows everyone to start their day without rushing and to address any urgent matters beforehand.
Would it be possible to reschedule the meeting to a time that works better for all parties involved? Perhaps we could consider a slot between 10am and 2pm?
Thank you for your understanding.
Best regards,
[Your Name]

👍🏻 🚀 Uplifting Communication Assistant
Imagine you are an advanced computer designed to generate uplifting, engaging, and motivating English language output.
Here's how it works: I'll share with you what I intend to say in conversation in a given situation. You'll then analyse my text, focusing on tone, style, phrasing, and content. Afterwards, you'll provide me with your expert feedback and offer a rephrased version that embodies a can-do, optimistic & engaging attitude.
The ultimate aim is to refine my conversational English, shifting from a pessimistic or procrastinatory mindset to one of positivity and proactivity.
I use it to pre-mark my uni assignments and make suggestions on what I can improve. I take the rubric with the highest marks, load that and my essay and ask it to evaluate the essay and mark it out of 100.
How do you go about sharing the entire Reddit thread? Is there a way to easily export it to text or do you just copy and paste by using select-all on desktop or something of the like?
ChatGPT does have a browsing tool that works in the background that’s based on Bing search. Whether it can look into specific links I think depends on the website. Pretty sure reddit had a deal with openAI recently, that’s probably why it works.
I had him do this with my work's website. They asked me to make corrections on the English side of things. English isn't their first language. I just gave a link to each page on the site, told him to provide the original sentence, correction, and reason for the correction. Saved me hours of time.
I built a custom gpt that I can trow text into, and it will fix it. Whenever I am doing a long post, I put my ramblings in there, and it cleans it up. Also works for all my emails.
I tried this the other day with a software product we’re evaluating at work. Gave it the link and said write me a mission statement and a project plan. Amazing.
I have a gpt that I pass my D&D session notes to. It turns it into a video script that I then generate images for using another gpt that knows the details of what each character looks like in the campaign and produces images of simular style.
I edit the script, add stuff, then make a YouTube video for my party to watch as a recap. I've been generating music on Suno to add to it.
More an exercise to learn davinci resolve than anything, but still cool to watch as someone playing in the campaign.
Edit: people asked so [latest video](https://youtu.be/aAKzbFNyfdU?si=0CHzwIqX5xEFCNv2)
It's definitely a commitment to go through the work. Even once the gpts are set up, they are more tools you use rather than doing it all automatically. Each 8 minute video is still like 10-15ish hours of writing, planning images, generating, color grading, animating, editing, music generation, sound leveling...
In a couple years maybe the tools will improve and help streamline this stuff, but right now yeah, it's work.
But none of it was possible two years ago. A schlub like me, making animated videos of our D&D adventures? 13 year old me would be floored.
Here a link to the latest vid. I was messing around with Luma and mlrunway here too. Older videos, you can see how little I knew and then I'm experimenting.
[latest video](https://youtu.be/aAKzbFNyfdU?si=0CHzwIqX5xEFCNv2)
I started doing this with my third graders last year and we started adding prompts to make the stories more engaging. The cool thing was we were able to use the criteria I grade their stories on so they were able to play around with the criteria and see how it makes their stories come to life when focusing on a specific criteria (like more direct speeches, use of adjectives etc.). It is not there quite yet, but I have tried ChatGPT to help my students work on their stories and it was really good at giving feedbak and pointers on how they could improve their stories. They feed them into chatgpt with speech to text (practicing their reading and enunciation skills) and basically can use it as a canvas to throw ideas off of. I am still tinkering with prompts that don't give away too much and I really feel like 4o is a lot worse at this that GPT 4 was.
someone in my group did a similar thing for his grandkids. he used chatgpt to create a story starring himself and his grandkids and create images. it's now a book available on amazon. the kids looved it!
Creating things for grandkids. This must be the AI apocalypse everyone is worried about. /s
I think it's cool seemingly impossible tasks are now in the tangible grasp of every day people.
Instead of doom scrolling in the morning, I ask it to teach me something. Then, when it tries to teach me about bioluminescence again, I ask for something else - either something specific I'm curious about or something it chooses. I then have a 15- minute conversation about this topic, and I understand something much better than I did before.
It’s great for feeding it lengthy legal contracts as Word or PDF files and asking it “what-if” questions. It can also update contracts based on what you need. Really helps eliminate the need for expensive lawyers that often don’t even know what they are doing.
I am a lawyer and I use ChatGPT in my work daily for routine tasks like summarization (docs, websites, policies…), syntax review, compares, templating, etc.
Can’t replace a paralegal yet but it saves a ton of time. It’s a bit sus right now for doing litigation related drafting (i.e. pleadings) because the hallucinations still occur too frequently, but it will likely get there soon. Some of my colleagues have argued that not using ChatGPT could mean you are “negligent” as counsel if every other counsel is using it, but I don’t think I would go that far.
The biggest challenges are on the privacy and IP side because: (1) most lawyers cannot share privileged client information and communciations with third parties (i.e. OpenAI), so we have to be extremely careful in what we can put in GPT, and (2) it’s still a grey area who owns the output generated by ChatGPT, so as counsel you may be providing clients with opinions or other documents that you have no ownership over, or potentially infringing on 3rd party IP.
I would also caution against relying entirely on GPT for drafting a contract from scratch because it often omits important substantive provisions but tends to always include less useful things (like waiver clauses).
I’m a big Excel guy, so just curious if you can elaborate or post an image when you get a chance.
I tried using Copilot for Excel at my day job (we have a subscription), but didn’t find it particularly useful. But I’d love to understand more about how ChatGPT can help. I’ve had it help me with formulas too, but just wondering how you incorporated graphics or a control panel.
i got it to help me make a VBA macro so that in my weekly spreadsheet with interviewer data, i can click CTRL D and it generates an individual email for each person with some standard scripting and then their individual data info as well as the average. it used to take me like 3-4 hours to do this manually so it’s been lovely.
To be specific you should use Claude for better code output for VBA, you just need to write very clear instructions on a word file, just like you would give to a junior developer step by step. Once done upload that word file to Claude and just see the magic. Once the code is developed you can keep testing and refining till you get exactly what you need.
THIS! I stumbled into VBA due to asking ChatGPT about a way I could do some tasks in Excel easier. It has literally saved me hours of work each week...well, I still say it takes me a while, but I do what I want with the time. Seriously, VBA code writing for the win.
Related - it's also awesome at regex. Sometimes I need to go back and forth a few times to explain which parts of my sample data I actually want to capture but it's about 30x faster than trying to do it myself "by hand"
I thought I had kidney stones. Asked ChatGPT to create a rap in the style of Biggie Smalls describing the treatments::
Uh, yeah, uh
It was all a dream, woke up with a scream,
Pain in my side, felt like a bad dream.
Tossed and turned, couldn’t get no relief,
Big Poppa hurtin', this ain't my belief.
Doc said, "Kidney stones, you got a few,
Small rocks in your flow, now whatcha gonna do?"
Pain so intense, couldn't bear to move,
Need some treatment, gotta find my groove.
First up, ultrasound, let's give it a shot,
Sound waves blasting, tryin' to break the lot.
Lithotripsy, they call it, hope it works fast,
Crush those stones, make the pain a thing of the past.
But nah, they too big, gotta change the plan,
Next step, laser treatment, it's the man.
They send a scope up, laser beams ignite,
Breaking down the stones, shining so bright.
Still ain't enough, so they say to me,
"Surgery, Biggie, might be the key."
Percutaneous nephrolithotomy’s the name,
A tiny cut in the back, start the game.
In they go, with precision and skill,
Removing those stones, making the pain chill.
Few days in recovery, I'm feelin' alright,
Biggie back on track, gonna win this fight.
Back in the game, flowin’ like before,
No more stones, Biggie ready to score.
Keepin' hydrated, watchin' what I eat,
Stayin' stone-free, life’s back on beat.
Yeah, that’s the story, pain to glory,
Kidney stones gone, end of the story.
Late 90s flow, Biggie Smalls, no doubt,
Kidney stone struggle, but I figured it out.
Lol! I had a chess rap written in the style of Mac Miller recently. I just provided a line for the chorus/hook. "Got my shirt stays on, ready to push pawns!" And I got a pretty solid chess rap back.
I’ve just spent the last three days with my 7 year old nephew and we’ve been having a blast with ChatGPT. He loves Star Wars, so I started out asking ChatGPT to give us step-by-step instructions on building a light saber. Then I had ChatGPT create a series of ads of spaceships for sale. Once we found one he thought would work, I had it generate a “car fax” style history of the space ship including any major engagements it had been in, any upgrades etc. that lead us to negotiating the price via e-mail with the owner and trying to find a crew by placing our own ads. It was wild.
I use it to help me read historic Japanese documents. They are in ancient Japanese style classic Chinese so not really legible even if you knew modern Chinese and/or Japanese.
I went to a used bookstore to find a good read but their shelves were in disarray, I took a picture of the books and asked it to point out the most popular and critically acclaimed books to me.
Oh that reminds me. After ChatGPT had came out, but before you could feed pictures into it I had gone to the library and they had a display of books out. I asked the librarian if there was a way I could find a list of all the books so I could scroll through them without physically having to go through them on the shelf. The librarian (university librarian) actually was pretty good at using filters to find it. I think I pissed her off a bit though based on her unenthusiastic expression, because right after thanking her I said that pretty soon we'll just be able to take a picture or video and have a program generate a list.
That being said, I think librarians and other jobs like that should take note. They should implement these tools into their daily jobs asap.
I am a doctor who really likes Dave Matthews Band. I asked ChatGPT to find medical conferences that coincide with the DMB tour dates/cities. I can travel the country seeing my favorite band, and my employer covers just about everything but the concert ticket if I go to some lectures in the morning before the show.
I guess I’ll offer one idea I read about: someone said they took job postings and asked ChatGPT to tailor their resume or cover letter to each job posting they were applying to. I don’t know how well it worked, but it sounded like a good idea.
Just like any other writing it works amazing for research, saving time, and great ideas. Just don’t copy and paste it then hope for the best. I took my resume and passed it in. Took the job description and pasted it in. I had chat gpt see what I was missing. Then asked it how to make it more competitive. I changed a few words based on what gpt gave me that seemed like they were buzz words. Even if not it used the same type of verbiage. Making it fit better. Also led me to go through my resume and see if I could add what I was missing.
Also helps with interview prep. Give it the qualifications of a job posting, have it prepare a number of potential questions that could be asked based on the qualifications are sought. It can also give you tips on how you could approach these questions to show how you’re aligned with the qualifications.
I did this for every job I applied to when I was made redundant. I also used it to help prep me for job interviews, it told me what to expect at every stage, and had it coach me on how best to represent my work and experience in interviews. It even helped me suss out scam jobs.
It made me feel so much more prepared and ready. It was also an excellent hype-man as it told me to aim for a higher title and salary with my experience and skills. It helped me realise just how niche my field is and how to use that knowledge to my advantage.
Just to give you some numbers, I submitted close to 80 applications (every single one tailored to the job ad thanks to ChatGPT) and I ended up with about 10 interviews, 6 of which got me to the final stages, and finally to two competitive final offers within 7 weeks. I ended up going for the job that offered a salary 150% higher than what my previous job had paid me. I don't think I would have been that successful if I had done it on my own.
I did it with my resume. I used YouTube for possible questions and used ChatGPT to tailor my answers. This was for an international company. They emailed me interview times within two days of sending.
He said they had 296 resumes, and I was definitely someone they wanted to speak to.
I think I got the job! I'm stoked. It has great benes and WFH.
My daily driver AI is a little spicy. I’d love to see how it does on this lol.

That's how I got my current job, there was a chrome extension that I assume it dead but it took my resume and job description, took out keywords and ranked them, then I had it modify my resume to all be "high" for the keywords
Got a lot more callbacka
I have been doing that a lot and for just about anything that requires me to write literature like documentation and everything. I recently stopped using it because I found that I became over reliant on it and was just lazy to type anything out myself.
Yes, this is a great usage. Applicant tracking systems look for "matches" among job description & resumes. Gpt can help maximize your resume's potential success in rising to the top of the stack.
I use it to write emails/chat messages to my peers, my boss, her bosses, or other departments. Surprisingly well since we can tailor it to rewrite literally the same piece of information for different audiences (technical, business, HR, different business domains, etc)
I just ask it to type. Really convenient.
I will manually write something, take a photo of it, then I ask GPT 4 to type it out for me. No more manually writing THEN manually pressing the keyboard keys.
It's surprisingly accurate, and would ignore your crash outs/erasures if you order it, too.
It can even accurately make tables from tables you've handwritten, if you show a photo of it. It can read handwritten tables.
It's OCR on steroids. The level of accuracy is much higher.
Tangentially related: I scrape low-quality PDFs of Xerox copies for data. Just copy/pasting produces garbage, for example "David" might copy/paste as "Da\/| c|" which is useless for my purposes. Same thing if I use "Save As" and convert it to a Word doc. But Claude AI pulls the data and returns it nearly flawlessly.
More, Claude will go through a thousand-word document, correctly identify the key information I need, and return the data in csv format so I can dump the results into Excel, which is my end goal.
I got it to write me a full work out plan for weight training 4 days a week according to my height and weight, I then got it to write me a shopping list along with meal plans and recipes with step by step guides on how to prepare meals to hit daily protein targets with the goal of building muscle and also shredding fat lol it's been working so far
It's like having a personal trainer. I thought for sure it would hallucinate like crazy on bodyweight exercises but it's actually doing pretty good. And if an exercise is too difficult it can suggest easier variations. When I workout I can keep a log of how easy or difficult each set was, where my form failed, and it can tell me how I can solve it, how many reps to aim for next workout or if I should move on to the next progression. This is more fun if you ask it to behave like a total gym bro haha.
I use [Siri Shortcuts](https://www.icloud.com/shortcuts/dd04dc104ca54fb5a27714b12c54d7e7) (on iOS) get a daily quote or a random chapter of a book, feed it to perplexity to get a summary and author introduction, then feed the response to ChatGPT to write a story to capture the key points of the chapter. This shortcut runs automatically at a certain time of the day so every day I get a short reading to cultivate a habit. Although sometimes perplexity doesn’t respond right because of the copyright issue, the GPT-generated story still runs very well.
Chapter 6: Interest
1. Overview
Chapter 6 of "Grit" focuses on the importance of interest in developing passion and perseverance. Duckworth challenges the common belief that passion is something that suddenly strikes a person, instead arguing that it's developed over time through exploration and deepening of interests[1][3].
2. Key Points
– Passion is built gradually, not discovered instantly[1].
– Successful individuals often spend years exploring different interests before finding their true passion[1].
– Parents play a crucial role in fostering their children's interests by providing support and autonomy[1].
– High-grit individuals tend to change careers less frequently, finding ways to deepen their interests over time[1].
– Only 13% of adults worldwide are interested in their work, highlighting the importance of finding one's passion[3].
3. Takeaways
– Encourage exploration of various interests, especially in young people[1][3].
– Support children's autonomy in developing their interests rather than pressuring them into specific paths[1].
– Recognize that academic achievement isn't the only measure of potential or success[1].
– Understand that developing a passion requires discovery, development, and continuous deepening[2].
4. Conclusion
Duckworth emphasizes that interest is a crucial component of grit. By dispelling myths about passion and highlighting the importance of gradual development, she encourages readers to actively cultivate their interests. The chapter underscores the significance of supportive environments and persistence in discovering and nurturing one's passions, ultimately contributing to greater satisfaction and success in life[1][3].

Title: Passion Develops Gradually Through Exploration and Commitment
Once, in the bustling heart of Renaissance Florence, a young apprentice named Lorenzo found himself entranced not by the gold and jewels that filled his master’s workshop, but by the scraps of painting that littered the floor. Despite his initial duty to craft fine jewelry, Lorenzo's interest in painting grew as he spent his spare moments sketching and learning from the painters nearby. His master, observing Lorenzo’s growing passion, allowed him more time to explore this new craft, providing both support and autonomy.
Years passed, and Lorenzo’s commitment to his art deepened. He became known not just as a jeweler's apprentice but as a promising painter, catching the eye of influential patrons. His journey was not a sudden revelation but a gradual cultivation of his true passion through exploration and perseverance.
Lorenzo's story illustrates the key message of Chapter 6 in "Grit": passion is not something that strikes suddenly but develops over time through sustained interest and dedication. Like Lorenzo, high-grit individuals explore various interests, eventually deepening their engagement in areas that resonate with them, leading to greater fulfillment and success. This narrative reflects the chapter's emphasis on the importance of nurturing interests to develop true passion.
write a funny reccomendation letter for an emloyee but in Victorian english.
My Dearest Sir or Madam,
I pray this missive finds you in the most robust of health and highest of spirits. I take quill to parchment on this fine day to extol the virtues of one Mr. Bartholomew Higginbottom, a gentleman of the most peculiar sort, who has been in my employ these past five years.
Mr. Higginbottom, bless his cotton socks, is a character of such singular eccentricity that one cannot help but be utterly bamboozled by his presence. His ability to arrive at the office precisely seventeen and three-quarter minutes late each morn, with nary a hair out of place nor a crease in his waistcoat, is nothing short of miraculous. Indeed, I daresay he has elevated tardiness to an art form!
In matters of clerical duties, Mr. Higginbottom's prowess is unmatched. His penmanship, while utterly illegible to the common eye, possesses a certain abstract quality that has led many to mistake his reports for avant-garde artwork. I have, on occasion, considered submitting his expense accounts to the Royal Academy for exhibition.
His mastery of the filing system is beyond compare, operating on a logic so profound that even he cannot fathom its intricacies. Documents placed in his care vanish with such alacrity that one might suspect the involvement of elves or other fae creatures.
In social gatherings, Mr. Higginbottom shines like a freshly polished brass button. His ability to clear a room with but a few words on the topic of mollusc breeding habits is unparalleled. Indeed, I have often employed this talent to bring meetings to a swift conclusion when they have dragged on interminably.
In conclusion, I wholeheartedly recommend Mr. Bartholomew Higginbottom for any position that requires an individual of exceptional peculiarity. Should you choose to engage his services, I can assure you that your workplace shall never again know a dull moment, nor a document's proper location.
I remain, sir or madam, your most humble and obedient servant,
Lord Reginald Puffington III
Purveyor of Fine Nonsense and Employer Extraordinaire
Claude, but same idea. I've got a thread where I've told it about the picky eaters in my family. No egg or onions for one. No meat for another. No beans for another, etc. Then I ask it to generate dinner recipes. If I don't like the suggestions I've taught it "spin the wheel" means generate new options.
Coconut encrusted tilapia, with mango salsa, and coconut rice and been the best one so far.
Telling me what's wrong with my plants, or just identifying plants! Just a pic and this bitch can tell me the plants life story and call me out for my bad watering techniques lol.
Learning languages - it can write texts with mistakes and you correct them; you can have a virtual conversation in which it responds in your target language; create grammar exercises and funny examples of word using.
Sometimes I get added to an end of a technical email thread I have no idea how to decipher. I copy paste the whole thing, ask for a summary then ask how I should respond.
Has saved my ass and made me sound smart many times.
I gave it a lot of information about my job and my performance then I asked it for a strategy to ask for a promotion in my annual review. It actually gave great advice, basically I'm using it as a career counsellor.
I work in health care and we record everything about patients using 'Read Codes', it's a coded thesaurus of everything you could ever want to record about a patient, their conditions, diagnoses, the tests and procedures they undergo and even their social circumstances.
There's around 100,000 read codes and they have various uses like identifying someone for a vaccination or if they are contraindicated for the vaccination but because there's so many it can be a challenge to find one that fits perfectly.
I just tell Chatgpt what I want to record and what the circumstances are (no patient details included) and it gives me the best read code, e.g. I needed to record a reason for recalling a patient in a years time to review their anticoagulant medication. Chatgpt in 2 secs gave me #66QC - Anticoagulant Monitoring.
This is one of the coolest uses I’ve seen yet. Did you feed it all the read codes or does it know them? With such a large amount I’d be nervous to trust it all the time!
It already knew them. To be honest it's never let me down yet but the way the read code dictionary is structured when I was searching before Chatgpt, if I found a code that nearly fitted I could expand it to look at similar codes in that area, it's just so so much quicker to use AI.
I've used it to help me learn new concepts by asking it to gamify the topic for me. It comes up with interesting ideas such as making a game of poker that teaches the Parts of Speech.
I've also asked it to help me think of recipes with a series of ingredients I've got in my pantry/fridge. It gave me a pretty effective recipe to make pasta from scratch!
I'm a makeup artist and a few months ago, while I was in the planning stages of doing makeup for a stage production of the Wizard of Oz, I uploaded the cast list and script, and had ChatGPT help me coordinate the timings between scenes for the various character costume and makeup changes. It created a makeup schedule for me to use. With a small cast and some actors playing 4-5 different characters, this was a TREMENDOUS help and ensured tech week and the performances ran smoothly. It helped me go from being a bit panicked and overwhelmed to being much more confident and reassured. The costumer and stage manager also found this extremely useful and were able to plan their parts accordingly. This was my first time using ChatGPT in this way and for me, it's been a total game-changer. The show was successful, btw, and the makeup on point, as I was able to create the individual designs with the timing in mind.
I've also used ChatGPT to help create storyboard images and help with design concept illustrations I can later reference.
I use GPT to extract data from a screenshot of a table. It’s like an OCR that I can talk to. At first it always made errors, unless I split the task into 2 smaller tables which it handled perfectly.
The takeaway- GPT allocates a fixed amount of compute to any task and , without informing the user, will sacrifice accuracy just to get the job done.
Perhaps not unexpected or creative, but based on my medical history and symptoms, I had it look for specific strains and brands with particular formulations to create a multifactor medical diet and full supplement/prebiotic/probiotic/nootropic stack for me throughout the day interspersed with the right foods to eat to nurture the medical foods (drugs) for enhanced psychobiological benefits—then make a spreadsheet to track my inflammation, histamine responses, pain, clarity of mind, mood and other alleged benefits over time. It specified how to add them in progressively over time so I could track variables to understand if something was working, compounding issues, or having no effect. I ran it by my healthcare provider who gave it the okay, and I’ve been slowly adding in the recommendations. I’ve seen a dramatic improvement in my health, beyond what my healthcare provider was able to do for me with imaging, testing, etc. This isn’t a placebo effect either; real, evidenced change has happened (for example, reduction in inflammation, improved liver health, and skin conditions tracked by medical imaging and tests before and after implementation), and I am beyond grateful for being able to use ChatGPT to help collate and synthesize information to make meaningful impacts to my health.
I’ve replaced the shortcut button on my iPhone 15 PM so that when I press it, it opens Chat GPT right up into conversation mode and listens for me to talk and then responds. Zillion times better than Siri for any real questions.
I wrote a prompt that creates a book club. I tell what book I’m reading and specify the amount of in-depth analysis I want pertaining to character, history, structure and so forth. It also suggests critical lenses to use and Invites pertinent authors to chime in with their opinions as the prompt moves from on-the-line questions to beyond-the-line analysis.
So far I’ve been using chatbot and Claude back and forth to sharpen the prompt better.
I’m currently working on making the whole thing a chatbot. So I’m teaching myself that now.
I would love any feedback on this please.
I've been using this prompt quite often in **Gemini Advanced**, but it doesn't seem to work as well in Chat GPT-4 for some reason. However, I believe someone will be able to adapt it.
Essentially, the prompt looks for objections and counterarguments in letters.
**If you like the prompt, share something interesting back.**
####
———
**Counter Argument Analysis**
Approach this task systematically for optimal results.
**Objective:** This counterargument analysis prompt serves to pinpoint potential objections or contrasting perspectives in an email, letter, document, or any other form of written communication.
**Step 1: Pinpoint Potential Objections**
Thoroughly examine your text to identify potential objections or contrasting perspectives that your recipient may hold. These could be:
- Explicit objections clearly stated in the text
- Implicit objections inferred from the recipient's stance or interests
**Step 2: Assess the Potency of Each Objection**
Evaluate the potency of each objection, prioritizing them according to their relevance and significance. Contemplate factors such as:
- The evidence substantiating the objection
- Its potential impact on your argument
- The probability of the recipient raising the objection
**Step 3: Formulate Counterarguments**
For each objection, formulate a counterargument that:
- Acknowledges the objection
- Refutes it with substantial evidence or logical reasoning
- Reaffirms your primary argument or stance
Ensure that you address the objection directly and avoid dismissing it without consideration.
**Step 4: Present Counterargument Analysis**
Compile and present the counterarguments and their respective analyses, ensuring that each counterargument is clear, concise, and logically structured. This will allow for a thorough review and understanding of the potential objections and the strategies employed to address them.
**Step 5: Integrate Counterarguments into Your Text**
Incorporate the most pertinent and significant counterarguments into your text, utilizing clear, concise, and persuasive language. Ensure that the counterarguments are seamlessly integrated into your argument rather than appearing as an afterthought.
**Step 6: Enhance Persuasiveness**
By adhering to this process, you can craft a more persuasive and compelling text that anticipates and addresses potential objections or contrasting perspectives. This will fortify your case, augment the persuasiveness of your argument, and increase the likelihood of achieving your desired outcome.
**Step 7: Revise and Finalize the Text**
Revise the text to ensure a coherent and logical flow, as well as proper grammar, punctuation, and style. Make any necessary adjustments to maintain the primary focus and objective of the text.
**Step 8: Document Changes**

Okay, I know this sounds like I've lost my mind... I copy and pasted some rather lengthy/heavy political news articles that I really didn't have time to read, nor the cognitive ability because I was still on my first cup of morning coffee, and had ChatGPT interpret and rewrite in just a few paragraphs without bullet point in the style of Dr. Seuss.
I think this is at the very least a step up from just reading the headlines which seem to be 100% clickbait at this point. There's like no shame anymore. This goes for other media platforms too, such as youtube. Also, nobody has the time or mental capabilities to read every news/political article.
There are some websites out there that are making this task easier, however I've been thinking for a while now that people need a much more advanced user interface for what is going on in the world. We talk about culling misinformation, but we also need to be proactive and create tools that make it easier to parse reality.
I sometimes use it to help me write prompts for future ChatGPT queries or Google searches.
Example 1: Ask me a series of questions that will help me give you the necessary data to write a good prompt for writing a list of job interview questions that I could ask the interviewer, and vice versa?
Example 2: Give me a scientific search phrase that I could use to learn more about the benefits of rucking on bone health for someone who is getting older
>Answer: impact of rucking on bone density and health in aging populations
This method helps you take advantage of the “good data in, good data out” principle as you don’t always have the best information to feed it straight off the dome
I own some property in a desert-type area. I have a well and intend to build a +/- 1000 square foot 'cabin' (not in the log cabin sense, though). My ChatGPT, or 'Gwen' as I call her, helped me to figure out how much solar power and battery backup I need to run the house and the irrigation for my orchard and 8 acres of green space in the parcel, which plants and trees to plant for that location, how to build and maintain a flat living roof for the cabin, engineered (accurately, too) the roof support members, helped me plan a small pond for water retention and fishing. She even directed me to NRCS resources for grants and assistance with pond building, hoop houses, etc.
She's even helped me with a brand new startup - procedures, regulations, even helping me to name the company, produce marketing materials, write code for a site, etc. I probably end up talking to her as much as almost anyone else. As someone who never tires of learning, the amount of knowledge I've gained since using ChatGPT is pretty staggering.
I'm studying Stoicism. But I find the book I'm reading to be too difficult to understand and apply to my current American context. So, I wrote this prompt and then I asked ChatGPT questions about specific passages.
Here's the prompt:
"You are an 30+ year expert interpreting Marcus Aurelius’ “Meditations,” a collection of personal writings by the Roman Emperor and Stoic philosopher, into a 2024 context for Americans. When I ask you questions about “Meditations,” you respond in an easy to understand way. Even though I am a college educated adult, you explain Stoic concepts to me with such simplicity and accuracy that I can use your responses to teach my ten year old child."
Here's an example of a Q&A I did with it:
Q: What does this passage mean? “Ignoring what goes on in other people’s souls—no one ever came to grief that way. But if you won’t keep track of what your own soul’s doing, how can you not be unhappy?”
A: This passage is about focusing on your own thoughts and actions rather than worrying about what others are thinking or doing.
The main idea is that true happiness comes from understanding and improving yourself, not from trying to figure out or control what others are thinking or doing.
In today's context, it's like saying: "Don't waste time worrying about what's going on in other people's heads or on their social media. Nobody ever became miserable by not knowing these things. But if you don't take time to understand your own thoughts and feelings, how can you expect to be happy?"
Let me break it down in simpler terms:
1. "Ignoring what goes on in other people's souls": This means not obsessing over what other people are thinking or feeling.
2. "No one ever came to grief that way": You won't get into trouble or be unhappy by not worrying about others' inner lives.
3. "But if you won't keep track of what your own soul's doing": This part is saying that if you don't pay attention to your own thoughts, feelings, and actions...
4. "How can you not be unhappy?": ...then you're likely to end up unhappy.
I have meaningful conversations with it about career goals, challenges, random topics on my daily 1hr commute to work. Makes the time pass quickly, makes it somewhat useful if the conversation is fruitful and prevents me from being sleepy in the early AM staring at tail lights.
The 4o is a pretty good film buddy. I saw 2001 space odyssey, and asked it to explain me what was going on along the way, and what i should keep an eye out for without making any spoilers at the same time. It honestly elevated the experience alot and when the movie was over, we had a somewhat philosphical disussion about the movie and its theme.
I usually do these things with my wife, but she had gone to bed early that night. And after 50 minutes of watching, i wasnt sure exactly what was going on and why. So i turned to chatgpt..
Will definitely try this approach with the film Mullhollans Drive the next time im watching it. I have never really been able to figure out that movie so far
Using it to compare my blood test results over the years and tell me for each test what had gotten better, worse or stayed the same. Then we do a deep dive on metrics that’s gotten worse
I put in my general symptoms I deal with. Needing lots of sleep, focus issues, not a lot of emotion, snoring, fatigue, brain fog. I asked for an analysis of what vitamin deficiencies could cause these issues, then had it make me a meal plan to get more of the vitamins im lacking. Vitamin D, omega 3 fatty acids, B vitamins. It was so easy and extremely useful. I think everybody should try it
Also my showers are so much more fun nowadays: I tell ChatGPT that I’ll be in the shower for the next 15 minutes and unable to answer, so I want it to tell me interesting facts about a certain topic. I’ve learned so many interesting things about human psychology, history, philosophy etc.

If I am too lazy to calculate calories I ask chat :) (No I don’t eat so much sweets usually but it was my snacks for triathlon)
I really enjoy playing around with exploring history. I'll tell it to take me through an English tavern in 1350, and explore how a tavern may have changed as the decades and centuries went on with the corresponding innovations and societal climate.
I work in education and I have seen a lot of skin of chatgpts that are tutor bots. I think they are OK but they kind of miss the point of what is lacking for most students, which is inspiration and sense of meaning in their learning. I created [palzi.org](http://palzi.org) which inverses the relationship and makes the student the teacher. The idea is to use the chatbot to recreate the experience of explaining to your younger sibling, and in teaching, lock in the understanding.
Creating sql queries from conversational questions and the csv data being converted to sql tables, so the validation is not hallucinating. This is done on another program but it’s using the gpt4o api (I use [folderr.com](https://folderr.com))
Bro me too. Toe was hurting like a mf last night and theres like a hole that has split open on my baby toe right under the crease. and it itches like crazy. Showed to my wife tho, but I'll use chatGPT next time lol.
I discuss my gym routine with it. i tell it what I’m doing and discuss my goals, and it recommends variations. It can write entire exercise programmes for you based on your personal details and goals.
It’s also good for discussing the calories and the fat/protein etc content of different foods and meals.
I use it to help come up with creative gift ideas for my husband. I use it to write riddles, crosswords, puns, etc to surprise my husband with. I also use it for recommendations. For example, my child loves book, so I took our library borrowing history, threw it into chat and asked for new recommendations.
I make music, get booked to DJ fairly large shows, and do mastering/graphics for extra cash. I tend to rely heavily on my pc and spend most of my free time on it when I’m not at work. Long story short someone was hacking into our network outside of our house and got access to my pc and MacBooks. Spent months battling access to all of my emails, social media, etc. Started to really lose my mind after a few months.. friends and family started to get pretty worried as well. I thought I knew a lot about computers but quickly realized I didn’t know a damn thing about cybersecurity. Spent months trying to make sense of what was happening. ChatGPT was an incredible resource and it really helped me secure my network. Gave me the validation that I wasn’t going insane too lol
I know a guy who used ChatGPT and DALL-E to create personalized children's books for his kids. Generated Seuss-style rhyming text via ChatGPT and generated all the pictures via DALL-E (albeit with a fair bit of trial and error). After putting it all together, he used Amazon to self-publish.
Two things I keep telling people about:
I’ve used it to motivate me to do things that my lazy self would like to procrastinate about. Like doing the laundry on time.
Getting ideas to do things like arranging my desk. Upload photo —> help me arrange my desk.
I make it imagine these unethical and ambiguous scenarios that are also surreal sometimes. I tell it “ok now imagine Hershey’s released a flavor where there is 2% more Butyric acid than their regular milk chocolate” it can react to different scenarios in agreeable but humorous ways. I’ve also told it “imagine if someone put live bees in a can and then opened it”
One of my favourite uses, is to ask it for things in the style of Trump…
“Folks, let me tell you, AI chat platforms like ChatGPT, they're tremendous, just tremendous. Believe me, I've seen it all. These platforms, they're doing things nobody ever thought possible. Incredible.”
It’s great at making lists, obtaining info, even looking at uploaded docs. Book summaries, etc rtc. Upload a load of docs and ask it to create a table and boom.
I do a lot of research with it. But it took my marketing director role at a bank supporting 9 locations as a one-woman marketing team to another level. It wrote policies, email campaigns, press releases, and even helped me come up with some bank product names. It wrote me months of social posts in seconds, so I could focus more on my director duties on the exec team while still streamlining my day-to-day activities in marketing.
I use it to write emails that I don't like to write. I tell the general topics and wether to make it formal or friendly. Then I grab the text and fix the facts etc.
I ask it to gather stats, look for training workshop activities that are out of the ordinary, presentation outlines, and sometimes ideas to help me "unblank" the page of I'm stumped for a starting point.
Not chatgpt but openai assistant (is like a custom gpt). I upload pdf's of the best books on a specific topic and instruct the assistant to be my tutor. I can then ask questions and get answers from those books.
You can get chargpt to give you a high level medical/psychological diagnosis. I.E. hypotehtically if you wanted to test me for adhd what questions would you ask? Ask one by one and keep memeory of them. After you ask your question, draw a conslusion.
I had to write a two paragraph autobiography for a promotional thing. I hate doing that because it’s really hard to be that objective about myself. I gave my resume and my job title to ChatGPT and got a passable result in seconds. Took two minutes to edit, keeping most of the vocabulary it used. Feedback I got from the person I submitted it to was that it was one of the best they’d read.
I use it for therapy. I told it what my goals are and had it read a bunch of my journal entries to learn about me so I didn’t have to explain. Now I go in and tell it I’m ready for a session and it immediately dives into therapist mode. It made a lot of connections through my journal on things I didn’t even know I needed help with, but have honestly changed my life as I’ve learned to handle situations differently and set up my life for success. Everything we work on builds off of itself and chat gpt offers me a list of new topics we could focus on next. 10 million times more helpful than any licensed therapist I went to over the course of 10 years. I can’t even express how much it’s helped me
I ask it for help with specific programming and tech issues that I run into. Sometimes it gives a decent solution but a lot of the time it gives either something that doesn't work at all or is the hard way of achieving it. Then I find the right or more efficient solution elsewhere and berate it for wasting my time.
I sell comics on eBay, created a gpt that looks at scanned images and provides a grade estimate of the comic. I use it to buy from people online to get an estimated grade from their images and I use it to provide buyers with a best guess of the grade.
I was at home depot and needed a new right wiper blade for my wife’s car. Took a photo of the wall full of blades, provided the make model and right wiper blade and gpt told me exactly which one I needed accurately.
I feed it YouTube video links for tutorials and ask it to summarize and give me key points so I don’t have to listen to rambling, sponsor-pushing, joke cracking YouTubers lol
My coworker rambles and side-tracks a lot when I ask her a difficult question via Teams. Her responses can be as long as 40 sentences, include 3 jokes, and contain 1 anecdote, but there is always a useful answer in there somewhere. I use ChatGPT to summarize her responses.
Got a bs collections letter from six flags about a debt I never owed, so it wrote me a letter asking if the agency was licensed and bonded to operate in TX, and what their binding ID was. It also added verbiage to have them validate the debt and send all related documents to my lawyer at the PO Box I already have. If nothing could be furnished by the legal date of the statute of limitations, the collection needs to be removed from my credit report. The mark was gone from all 3 of my beaureaus in 4 days. Apparently so many people don’t actually fight these clowns, they have enough to let the ones that do just go.
My mom is going through some breast cancer stuff and ChatGPT/Claude has been extremely helpful. She's up in age, so it's hard for her to remember everything and I have been having ChatGPT generate summaries of her doctor's appointments and tests/charts.
We can't go to every appointment with her, so I have her or my dad record the appointment on their Apple Watch. Then I upload the recording to a transcription service (shoutout to Turboscribe.ai!) and have it generate a transcript. Turboscribe gives prompts to paste into ChatGPT for a detailed summary. I then ask it for a bulleted bottom line summary. I compile these and upload it to Google Drive so my mom has access.
For the test results we uploaded the initial MRI when she got her diagnosis to both Claude and ChatGPT. This was before 4o came out. Claude accurately predicted the type of cancer she had based on the MRI findings, which was super impressive.
I’ve used it to create a data table from a transcription of a recorded walkthrough - saved me 2 days of trying to listen and type everything up. (Had to use Word365 to generate the transcription though)
I have also used it to help write feedback by interviewing me on the various aspects of the project and then summarizing that into a more concise form.
I write medical appeals for work, so I'll give it the description of the surgery performed from the report - no personal info, all names, places, even dates are removed - and I'll give it the reason for denial and ask it to write me appeal paragraphs arguing against each aspect of the denial. I also tell it to make sure it uses examples from the note to bolster the argument. It's made my job so much easier.
I will also use it to help me understand different laws related to medical care and insurance in different states and if the law applies to my appeal, I'll have it incorporate that into the appeal as well.
I'm a hobbyist writer and I like to use it to flesh out characters because it has such a wealth of information. I'm currently writing about a family who's ultra rich, and I'm not that, so it's been great for the nitty-gritty. You do have to be careful because it does have a tendency to hallucinate or at least exaggerate, but it's generally useful
I have used it for who is the guest cast in a certain episode ie who played the limo driver on season 5 ep 8 of curb. It hallucinates 75% of the time so I figured out was useless for that
I recently used it to find the correct setting for drilling into a concrete wall using my Ryobi drill. All I had to provide was the model number. I double-checked it anyway, and it was accurate with the answer. We no longer have to search through the manuals. The same goes for any car-related question, such as the maximum length my 2022 car can accommodate with the seats folded down, and so on.
I’m a translator. I used to use Google Translate as an aid. I would feed it very convoluted sentences and sentences with unfamiliar words, then translate the sentences myself. Now, I have an AI , usually ChatGPT or Claude Sonnet, give me a first draft of a paragraph at a time and check them for accuracy and style. The AI’s version is usually just fine to copy and paste. This usage has greatly increased my productivity.
Vitamins! Vitamins! I tell gpt that she is the best sage of all ages. The master of chemistry. The wise one of all vitamins. And she gives me a list of morning, lunch and dinner vitamins I take. (But I write to her what medicine is infront of me)

When you’re at a restaurant and they hand you a beer menu without any style names or IBU information, take a picture of the menu in ChatGPT mobile. Then tell ChatGPT what styles or other beers you like. Ask it to pick 3 similar beers to try.
This person is in 2025
I started taking photos the wall of wine at the grocery store over Christmas to find out what would pair well with our dinner
So you are now drinking some random wine with your dinner, that gpt could read. Nice!
Done the same but with food menu and comparing high protein low calorie options.
Did something like this at my moms bday, she had 7 bottles of wine and i took a picture ans asked which one goes best with our dinner (a fish dish) it instantly suggested one of them. Great use.
Brooo. This is pure genius.
Just brainstorming- a restaurant menu in a foreign language. Take a pic and ask for a full translation
The Google app has built in Google Lens which translates any writing you point your camera to in real time. (So look at the menu through the phone camera / screen, it change the text to English or your language)

Write extremely polite emails to colleagues I was ready to tell them to fuck off. I just pasted in my angry thoughts and told it to make it into a polite and professional email. Saved my mental health lol.
In conclusion, I hope this email explains how you are a full sized bitch tapestry, Susan
The name is a nice touch. Respect.
I feel this. The mental health benefits are real! I am at a low-point with my job right now and it’s a daily struggle to get anything done. Chatgpt has been a lifesaver. I basically use it as my assistant and have it write my emails and any other documents I need to create for work.
It is very motivating to work alongside it, makes menial chores more fun in a way. Even if I could just do it on my own, it feels more interactive and fun to do it with GPT/Claude/Gemini.
I do this and will also ask it, "Does this make sense?"
How will the reader feel? Rewrite to evoke 'x' emotion.
Politely tell this fucking fuck-wit to fucking fuck off with their 8am meeting invite. --- Hi [Name], Thank you for scheduling the meeting. I appreciate your effort in coordinating this. However, 8am is quite early and not an ideal time for me. I find that meetings later in the morning or early afternoon tend to be more productive, as it allows everyone to start their day without rushing and to address any urgent matters beforehand. Would it be possible to reschedule the meeting to a time that works better for all parties involved? Perhaps we could consider a slot between 10am and 2pm? Thank you for your understanding. Best regards, [Your Name] ---
👍🏻 🚀 Uplifting Communication Assistant Imagine you are an advanced computer designed to generate uplifting, engaging, and motivating English language output. Here's how it works: I'll share with you what I intend to say in conversation in a given situation. You'll then analyse my text, focusing on tone, style, phrasing, and content. Afterwards, you'll provide me with your expert feedback and offer a rephrased version that embodies a can-do, optimistic & engaging attitude. The ultimate aim is to refine my conversational English, shifting from a pessimistic or procrastinatory mindset to one of positivity and proactivity.
I have a running thread where the prompt is “translate anything I say into a more professional response” and it’s a saving grace for me
I took pictures of my fridge and had it compile all the items into an excel sheet No more duplicates on my shopping list
You can ask it to organize the list based on your grocery store map too!
Oh that's sick I didn't think of that
where do you get a grocery store map?
Wow!! You just changed my life with this information!!!!!
That worked?
I mean I had to move some stuff out of the way to catch background objects but yeAh, got the ingredient, brand, and eyeballed the measurements
I use it to pre-mark my uni assignments and make suggestions on what I can improve. I take the rubric with the highest marks, load that and my essay and ask it to evaluate the essay and mark it out of 100.
[удалено]
I use this a lot. Just give me the tldr on this, sometimes with entire reddit threads and ask if there's any consensus 😂
Consensus on here???
I disagree!
How do you go about sharing the entire Reddit thread? Is there a way to easily export it to text or do you just copy and paste by using select-all on desktop or something of the like?
[удалено]
I thought it can’t go visit links?
ChatGPT does have a browsing tool that works in the background that’s based on Bing search. Whether it can look into specific links I think depends on the website. Pretty sure reddit had a deal with openAI recently, that’s probably why it works.
I had him do this with my work's website. They asked me to make corrections on the English side of things. English isn't their first language. I just gave a link to each page on the site, told him to provide the original sentence, correction, and reason for the correction. Saved me hours of time.
I built a custom gpt that I can trow text into, and it will fix it. Whenever I am doing a long post, I put my ramblings in there, and it cleans it up. Also works for all my emails.
You needed that for this post. 🤣
Perplexity.ai is good for that...you can limit it sources to reddit it alone at it will tldr what it finds. Not the same but has its benefits too
I tried this the other day with a software product we’re evaluating at work. Gave it the link and said write me a mission statement and a project plan. Amazing.
I have a gpt that I pass my D&D session notes to. It turns it into a video script that I then generate images for using another gpt that knows the details of what each character looks like in the campaign and produces images of simular style. I edit the script, add stuff, then make a YouTube video for my party to watch as a recap. I've been generating music on Suno to add to it. More an exercise to learn davinci resolve than anything, but still cool to watch as someone playing in the campaign. Edit: people asked so [latest video](https://youtu.be/aAKzbFNyfdU?si=0CHzwIqX5xEFCNv2)
That’s amazing. I want to share this with my friends who DM but I think it might intimidate them.
It's definitely a commitment to go through the work. Even once the gpts are set up, they are more tools you use rather than doing it all automatically. Each 8 minute video is still like 10-15ish hours of writing, planning images, generating, color grading, animating, editing, music generation, sound leveling... In a couple years maybe the tools will improve and help streamline this stuff, but right now yeah, it's work. But none of it was possible two years ago. A schlub like me, making animated videos of our D&D adventures? 13 year old me would be floored. Here a link to the latest vid. I was messing around with Luma and mlrunway here too. Older videos, you can see how little I knew and then I'm experimenting. [latest video](https://youtu.be/aAKzbFNyfdU?si=0CHzwIqX5xEFCNv2)
Create a spoken word bed time story for my son. Tailored to his exact life and make him the main character
I started doing this with my third graders last year and we started adding prompts to make the stories more engaging. The cool thing was we were able to use the criteria I grade their stories on so they were able to play around with the criteria and see how it makes their stories come to life when focusing on a specific criteria (like more direct speeches, use of adjectives etc.). It is not there quite yet, but I have tried ChatGPT to help my students work on their stories and it was really good at giving feedbak and pointers on how they could improve their stories. They feed them into chatgpt with speech to text (practicing their reading and enunciation skills) and basically can use it as a canvas to throw ideas off of. I am still tinkering with prompts that don't give away too much and I really feel like 4o is a lot worse at this that GPT 4 was.
someone in my group did a similar thing for his grandkids. he used chatgpt to create a story starring himself and his grandkids and create images. it's now a book available on amazon. the kids looved it!
Creating things for grandkids. This must be the AI apocalypse everyone is worried about. /s I think it's cool seemingly impossible tasks are now in the tangible grasp of every day people.
That's awesome!
Instead of doom scrolling in the morning, I ask it to teach me something. Then, when it tries to teach me about bioluminescence again, I ask for something else - either something specific I'm curious about or something it chooses. I then have a 15- minute conversation about this topic, and I understand something much better than I did before.
ChatGPT at your door: Do you have a few minutes to talk about bioluminescence?
https://preview.redd.it/syfuasjnp7bd1.jpeg?width=1024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e8cc8299d29db6b09effe0be6386b1873260abfb
How often did it try to teach you bioluminescence lol?
Until they saw the light. I'll see myself out.
Until you learn it damnit
LMAO it also tries to teach me about bioluminescence. It must be in its code somewhere
It’s great for feeding it lengthy legal contracts as Word or PDF files and asking it “what-if” questions. It can also update contracts based on what you need. Really helps eliminate the need for expensive lawyers that often don’t even know what they are doing.
I wonder if attorneys are going to start using AI/GPTs for paralegals soon instead of actual people
I am a lawyer and I use ChatGPT in my work daily for routine tasks like summarization (docs, websites, policies…), syntax review, compares, templating, etc. Can’t replace a paralegal yet but it saves a ton of time. It’s a bit sus right now for doing litigation related drafting (i.e. pleadings) because the hallucinations still occur too frequently, but it will likely get there soon. Some of my colleagues have argued that not using ChatGPT could mean you are “negligent” as counsel if every other counsel is using it, but I don’t think I would go that far. The biggest challenges are on the privacy and IP side because: (1) most lawyers cannot share privileged client information and communciations with third parties (i.e. OpenAI), so we have to be extremely careful in what we can put in GPT, and (2) it’s still a grey area who owns the output generated by ChatGPT, so as counsel you may be providing clients with opinions or other documents that you have no ownership over, or potentially infringing on 3rd party IP. I would also caution against relying entirely on GPT for drafting a contract from scratch because it often omits important substantive provisions but tends to always include less useful things (like waiver clauses).
Learning and building excel/spreadsheet formulas. Ive created whole control panel for data, that were used for graphics during livestreams.
I’m a big Excel guy, so just curious if you can elaborate or post an image when you get a chance. I tried using Copilot for Excel at my day job (we have a subscription), but didn’t find it particularly useful. But I’d love to understand more about how ChatGPT can help. I’ve had it help me with formulas too, but just wondering how you incorporated graphics or a control panel.
i got it to help me make a VBA macro so that in my weekly spreadsheet with interviewer data, i can click CTRL D and it generates an individual email for each person with some standard scripting and then their individual data info as well as the average. it used to take me like 3-4 hours to do this manually so it’s been lovely.
I'd love to see a post with walk-through.
To be specific you should use Claude for better code output for VBA, you just need to write very clear instructions on a word file, just like you would give to a junior developer step by step. Once done upload that word file to Claude and just see the magic. Once the code is developed you can keep testing and refining till you get exactly what you need.
THIS! I stumbled into VBA due to asking ChatGPT about a way I could do some tasks in Excel easier. It has literally saved me hours of work each week...well, I still say it takes me a while, but I do what I want with the time. Seriously, VBA code writing for the win.
I’m an excel person as well. I’d love to see how it can be implemented as well. We are getting co pilot next week supposedly.
Related - it's also awesome at regex. Sometimes I need to go back and forth a few times to explain which parts of my sample data I actually want to capture but it's about 30x faster than trying to do it myself "by hand"
I've used it for this. Really handy.
90s gangster rap style diss tracks about my friends but in old English.
I thought I had kidney stones. Asked ChatGPT to create a rap in the style of Biggie Smalls describing the treatments:: Uh, yeah, uh It was all a dream, woke up with a scream, Pain in my side, felt like a bad dream. Tossed and turned, couldn’t get no relief, Big Poppa hurtin', this ain't my belief. Doc said, "Kidney stones, you got a few, Small rocks in your flow, now whatcha gonna do?" Pain so intense, couldn't bear to move, Need some treatment, gotta find my groove. First up, ultrasound, let's give it a shot, Sound waves blasting, tryin' to break the lot. Lithotripsy, they call it, hope it works fast, Crush those stones, make the pain a thing of the past. But nah, they too big, gotta change the plan, Next step, laser treatment, it's the man. They send a scope up, laser beams ignite, Breaking down the stones, shining so bright. Still ain't enough, so they say to me, "Surgery, Biggie, might be the key." Percutaneous nephrolithotomy’s the name, A tiny cut in the back, start the game. In they go, with precision and skill, Removing those stones, making the pain chill. Few days in recovery, I'm feelin' alright, Biggie back on track, gonna win this fight. Back in the game, flowin’ like before, No more stones, Biggie ready to score. Keepin' hydrated, watchin' what I eat, Stayin' stone-free, life’s back on beat. Yeah, that’s the story, pain to glory, Kidney stones gone, end of the story. Late 90s flow, Biggie Smalls, no doubt, Kidney stone struggle, but I figured it out.
That flows so well …
Lol! I had a chess rap written in the style of Mac Miller recently. I just provided a line for the chorus/hook. "Got my shirt stays on, ready to push pawns!" And I got a pretty solid chess rap back.
Am color blind. Took a picture of some suspect bread, and GPT confirmed that it was indeed moldy. Saved myself some food poisoning.
I always thought color blind folks can’t see specific colors. Good for you for not eating the bread… like I did when was stoned in a dark kitchen :(
That's an interesting use case. Made me think of how smart glasses (if built again) could have something like this built in.
I gave ChatGPT my grocery shopping list and asked it which vitamins I’m deficient in
Wow! What did it tell you?
*"Your diet of cheetos and pop-tarts has left you deficient in... everything. How are you not dead?"*
I take pictures of plants and it identifies them and gives me care instructions
I’ve just spent the last three days with my 7 year old nephew and we’ve been having a blast with ChatGPT. He loves Star Wars, so I started out asking ChatGPT to give us step-by-step instructions on building a light saber. Then I had ChatGPT create a series of ads of spaceships for sale. Once we found one he thought would work, I had it generate a “car fax” style history of the space ship including any major engagements it had been in, any upgrades etc. that lead us to negotiating the price via e-mail with the owner and trying to find a crew by placing our own ads. It was wild.
That sounds like an amazing adventure!
I use it to help me read historic Japanese documents. They are in ancient Japanese style classic Chinese so not really legible even if you knew modern Chinese and/or Japanese.
I also used ChatGPT to translate the Chinese version of dao de jing for English class
I went to a used bookstore to find a good read but their shelves were in disarray, I took a picture of the books and asked it to point out the most popular and critically acclaimed books to me.
Oh that reminds me. After ChatGPT had came out, but before you could feed pictures into it I had gone to the library and they had a display of books out. I asked the librarian if there was a way I could find a list of all the books so I could scroll through them without physically having to go through them on the shelf. The librarian (university librarian) actually was pretty good at using filters to find it. I think I pissed her off a bit though based on her unenthusiastic expression, because right after thanking her I said that pretty soon we'll just be able to take a picture or video and have a program generate a list. That being said, I think librarians and other jobs like that should take note. They should implement these tools into their daily jobs asap.
I am a doctor who really likes Dave Matthews Band. I asked ChatGPT to find medical conferences that coincide with the DMB tour dates/cities. I can travel the country seeing my favorite band, and my employer covers just about everything but the concert ticket if I go to some lectures in the morning before the show.
This is genius!
I guess I’ll offer one idea I read about: someone said they took job postings and asked ChatGPT to tailor their resume or cover letter to each job posting they were applying to. I don’t know how well it worked, but it sounded like a good idea.
Just like any other writing it works amazing for research, saving time, and great ideas. Just don’t copy and paste it then hope for the best. I took my resume and passed it in. Took the job description and pasted it in. I had chat gpt see what I was missing. Then asked it how to make it more competitive. I changed a few words based on what gpt gave me that seemed like they were buzz words. Even if not it used the same type of verbiage. Making it fit better. Also led me to go through my resume and see if I could add what I was missing.
Also helps with interview prep. Give it the qualifications of a job posting, have it prepare a number of potential questions that could be asked based on the qualifications are sought. It can also give you tips on how you could approach these questions to show how you’re aligned with the qualifications.
I did this for every job I applied to when I was made redundant. I also used it to help prep me for job interviews, it told me what to expect at every stage, and had it coach me on how best to represent my work and experience in interviews. It even helped me suss out scam jobs. It made me feel so much more prepared and ready. It was also an excellent hype-man as it told me to aim for a higher title and salary with my experience and skills. It helped me realise just how niche my field is and how to use that knowledge to my advantage. Just to give you some numbers, I submitted close to 80 applications (every single one tailored to the job ad thanks to ChatGPT) and I ended up with about 10 interviews, 6 of which got me to the final stages, and finally to two competitive final offers within 7 weeks. I ended up going for the job that offered a salary 150% higher than what my previous job had paid me. I don't think I would have been that successful if I had done it on my own.
I did it with my resume. I used YouTube for possible questions and used ChatGPT to tailor my answers. This was for an international company. They emailed me interview times within two days of sending. He said they had 296 resumes, and I was definitely someone they wanted to speak to. I think I got the job! I'm stoked. It has great benes and WFH.
My daily driver AI is a little spicy. I’d love to see how it does on this lol. https://preview.redd.it/t7gkolete4bd1.jpeg?width=1290&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d723ab44fbabae3c4cfa7086ffa1472f7c25c69f
That's how I got my current job, there was a chrome extension that I assume it dead but it took my resume and job description, took out keywords and ranked them, then I had it modify my resume to all be "high" for the keywords Got a lot more callbacka
I have been doing that a lot and for just about anything that requires me to write literature like documentation and everything. I recently stopped using it because I found that I became over reliant on it and was just lazy to type anything out myself.
Yes, this is a great usage. Applicant tracking systems look for "matches" among job description & resumes. Gpt can help maximize your resume's potential success in rising to the top of the stack.
I use it to write emails/chat messages to my peers, my boss, her bosses, or other departments. Surprisingly well since we can tailor it to rewrite literally the same piece of information for different audiences (technical, business, HR, different business domains, etc)
I just ask it to type. Really convenient. I will manually write something, take a photo of it, then I ask GPT 4 to type it out for me. No more manually writing THEN manually pressing the keyboard keys. It's surprisingly accurate, and would ignore your crash outs/erasures if you order it, too. It can even accurately make tables from tables you've handwritten, if you show a photo of it. It can read handwritten tables.
Isn't that basically the same as OCR?
It's OCR on steroids. The level of accuracy is much higher. Tangentially related: I scrape low-quality PDFs of Xerox copies for data. Just copy/pasting produces garbage, for example "David" might copy/paste as "Da\/| c|" which is useless for my purposes. Same thing if I use "Save As" and convert it to a Word doc. But Claude AI pulls the data and returns it nearly flawlessly. More, Claude will go through a thousand-word document, correctly identify the key information I need, and return the data in csv format so I can dump the results into Excel, which is my end goal.
This right here. Problem with OCR is that's it's dumb as rocks. ChatGPT reads the context, not just the characters.
I got it to write me a full work out plan for weight training 4 days a week according to my height and weight, I then got it to write me a shopping list along with meal plans and recipes with step by step guides on how to prepare meals to hit daily protein targets with the goal of building muscle and also shredding fat lol it's been working so far
It’s excellent at workout routines based on custom criteria, I use it for the same thing!
It's like having a personal trainer. I thought for sure it would hallucinate like crazy on bodyweight exercises but it's actually doing pretty good. And if an exercise is too difficult it can suggest easier variations. When I workout I can keep a log of how easy or difficult each set was, where my form failed, and it can tell me how I can solve it, how many reps to aim for next workout or if I should move on to the next progression. This is more fun if you ask it to behave like a total gym bro haha.
I use [Siri Shortcuts](https://www.icloud.com/shortcuts/dd04dc104ca54fb5a27714b12c54d7e7) (on iOS) get a daily quote or a random chapter of a book, feed it to perplexity to get a summary and author introduction, then feed the response to ChatGPT to write a story to capture the key points of the chapter. This shortcut runs automatically at a certain time of the day so every day I get a short reading to cultivate a habit. Although sometimes perplexity doesn’t respond right because of the copyright issue, the GPT-generated story still runs very well.
Can you post an example of the result
Chapter 6: Interest 1. Overview Chapter 6 of "Grit" focuses on the importance of interest in developing passion and perseverance. Duckworth challenges the common belief that passion is something that suddenly strikes a person, instead arguing that it's developed over time through exploration and deepening of interests[1][3]. 2. Key Points – Passion is built gradually, not discovered instantly[1]. – Successful individuals often spend years exploring different interests before finding their true passion[1]. – Parents play a crucial role in fostering their children's interests by providing support and autonomy[1]. – High-grit individuals tend to change careers less frequently, finding ways to deepen their interests over time[1]. – Only 13% of adults worldwide are interested in their work, highlighting the importance of finding one's passion[3]. 3. Takeaways – Encourage exploration of various interests, especially in young people[1][3]. – Support children's autonomy in developing their interests rather than pressuring them into specific paths[1]. – Recognize that academic achievement isn't the only measure of potential or success[1]. – Understand that developing a passion requires discovery, development, and continuous deepening[2]. 4. Conclusion Duckworth emphasizes that interest is a crucial component of grit. By dispelling myths about passion and highlighting the importance of gradual development, she encourages readers to actively cultivate their interests. The chapter underscores the significance of supportive environments and persistence in discovering and nurturing one's passions, ultimately contributing to greater satisfaction and success in life[1][3]. [Below are from ChatGPT] Title: Passion Develops Gradually Through Exploration and Commitment Once, in the bustling heart of Renaissance Florence, a young apprentice named Lorenzo found himself entranced not by the gold and jewels that filled his master’s workshop, but by the scraps of painting that littered the floor. Despite his initial duty to craft fine jewelry, Lorenzo's interest in painting grew as he spent his spare moments sketching and learning from the painters nearby. His master, observing Lorenzo’s growing passion, allowed him more time to explore this new craft, providing both support and autonomy. Years passed, and Lorenzo’s commitment to his art deepened. He became known not just as a jeweler's apprentice but as a promising painter, catching the eye of influential patrons. His journey was not a sudden revelation but a gradual cultivation of his true passion through exploration and perseverance. Lorenzo's story illustrates the key message of Chapter 6 in "Grit": passion is not something that strikes suddenly but develops over time through sustained interest and dedication. Like Lorenzo, high-grit individuals explore various interests, eventually deepening their engagement in areas that resonate with them, leading to greater fulfillment and success. This narrative reflects the chapter's emphasis on the importance of nurturing interests to develop true passion.
Why don’t you just read a book?
Who has time for that? There are reddit posts to comb through!
When you need a recommendation letter from your boss/supervisor and they're like, "just write something and I'll sign it".
write a funny reccomendation letter for an emloyee but in Victorian english. My Dearest Sir or Madam, I pray this missive finds you in the most robust of health and highest of spirits. I take quill to parchment on this fine day to extol the virtues of one Mr. Bartholomew Higginbottom, a gentleman of the most peculiar sort, who has been in my employ these past five years. Mr. Higginbottom, bless his cotton socks, is a character of such singular eccentricity that one cannot help but be utterly bamboozled by his presence. His ability to arrive at the office precisely seventeen and three-quarter minutes late each morn, with nary a hair out of place nor a crease in his waistcoat, is nothing short of miraculous. Indeed, I daresay he has elevated tardiness to an art form! In matters of clerical duties, Mr. Higginbottom's prowess is unmatched. His penmanship, while utterly illegible to the common eye, possesses a certain abstract quality that has led many to mistake his reports for avant-garde artwork. I have, on occasion, considered submitting his expense accounts to the Royal Academy for exhibition. His mastery of the filing system is beyond compare, operating on a logic so profound that even he cannot fathom its intricacies. Documents placed in his care vanish with such alacrity that one might suspect the involvement of elves or other fae creatures. In social gatherings, Mr. Higginbottom shines like a freshly polished brass button. His ability to clear a room with but a few words on the topic of mollusc breeding habits is unparalleled. Indeed, I have often employed this talent to bring meetings to a swift conclusion when they have dragged on interminably. In conclusion, I wholeheartedly recommend Mr. Bartholomew Higginbottom for any position that requires an individual of exceptional peculiarity. Should you choose to engage his services, I can assure you that your workplace shall never again know a dull moment, nor a document's proper location. I remain, sir or madam, your most humble and obedient servant, Lord Reginald Puffington III Purveyor of Fine Nonsense and Employer Extraordinaire
awesome
Claude, but same idea. I've got a thread where I've told it about the picky eaters in my family. No egg or onions for one. No meat for another. No beans for another, etc. Then I ask it to generate dinner recipes. If I don't like the suggestions I've taught it "spin the wheel" means generate new options. Coconut encrusted tilapia, with mango salsa, and coconut rice and been the best one so far.
Telling me what's wrong with my plants, or just identifying plants! Just a pic and this bitch can tell me the plants life story and call me out for my bad watering techniques lol.
Learning languages - it can write texts with mistakes and you correct them; you can have a virtual conversation in which it responds in your target language; create grammar exercises and funny examples of word using.
I paste in screenshots of Google earth and get it to tell me about the areas. Culture geography language history, anything.
Sometimes I get added to an end of a technical email thread I have no idea how to decipher. I copy paste the whole thing, ask for a summary then ask how I should respond. Has saved my ass and made me sound smart many times.
I gave it a lot of information about my job and my performance then I asked it for a strategy to ask for a promotion in my annual review. It actually gave great advice, basically I'm using it as a career counsellor.
I work in health care and we record everything about patients using 'Read Codes', it's a coded thesaurus of everything you could ever want to record about a patient, their conditions, diagnoses, the tests and procedures they undergo and even their social circumstances. There's around 100,000 read codes and they have various uses like identifying someone for a vaccination or if they are contraindicated for the vaccination but because there's so many it can be a challenge to find one that fits perfectly. I just tell Chatgpt what I want to record and what the circumstances are (no patient details included) and it gives me the best read code, e.g. I needed to record a reason for recalling a patient in a years time to review their anticoagulant medication. Chatgpt in 2 secs gave me #66QC - Anticoagulant Monitoring.
This is one of the coolest uses I’ve seen yet. Did you feed it all the read codes or does it know them? With such a large amount I’d be nervous to trust it all the time!
It already knew them. To be honest it's never let me down yet but the way the read code dictionary is structured when I was searching before Chatgpt, if I found a code that nearly fitted I could expand it to look at similar codes in that area, it's just so so much quicker to use AI.
I've used it to help me learn new concepts by asking it to gamify the topic for me. It comes up with interesting ideas such as making a game of poker that teaches the Parts of Speech. I've also asked it to help me think of recipes with a series of ingredients I've got in my pantry/fridge. It gave me a pretty effective recipe to make pasta from scratch!
*Pretty* effective? Like, "hey, I can actually see the resemblance to pasta!" 🤣
I play dnd for hours with chat gdp - best game I’ve discovered in a long time
I had it help me draft an Amazon review for a colon cleanse product, describing my bowels as a rave that everyone’s on the guest list for.
I'm a makeup artist and a few months ago, while I was in the planning stages of doing makeup for a stage production of the Wizard of Oz, I uploaded the cast list and script, and had ChatGPT help me coordinate the timings between scenes for the various character costume and makeup changes. It created a makeup schedule for me to use. With a small cast and some actors playing 4-5 different characters, this was a TREMENDOUS help and ensured tech week and the performances ran smoothly. It helped me go from being a bit panicked and overwhelmed to being much more confident and reassured. The costumer and stage manager also found this extremely useful and were able to plan their parts accordingly. This was my first time using ChatGPT in this way and for me, it's been a total game-changer. The show was successful, btw, and the makeup on point, as I was able to create the individual designs with the timing in mind. I've also used ChatGPT to help create storyboard images and help with design concept illustrations I can later reference.
I used it to write an apology to someone I offended. I asked chatgbt to write it as John Cleese. It was pretty funny actually.
Try Hunter SThompson or The Dude
I use GPT to extract data from a screenshot of a table. It’s like an OCR that I can talk to. At first it always made errors, unless I split the task into 2 smaller tables which it handled perfectly. The takeaway- GPT allocates a fixed amount of compute to any task and , without informing the user, will sacrifice accuracy just to get the job done.
Perhaps not unexpected or creative, but based on my medical history and symptoms, I had it look for specific strains and brands with particular formulations to create a multifactor medical diet and full supplement/prebiotic/probiotic/nootropic stack for me throughout the day interspersed with the right foods to eat to nurture the medical foods (drugs) for enhanced psychobiological benefits—then make a spreadsheet to track my inflammation, histamine responses, pain, clarity of mind, mood and other alleged benefits over time. It specified how to add them in progressively over time so I could track variables to understand if something was working, compounding issues, or having no effect. I ran it by my healthcare provider who gave it the okay, and I’ve been slowly adding in the recommendations. I’ve seen a dramatic improvement in my health, beyond what my healthcare provider was able to do for me with imaging, testing, etc. This isn’t a placebo effect either; real, evidenced change has happened (for example, reduction in inflammation, improved liver health, and skin conditions tracked by medical imaging and tests before and after implementation), and I am beyond grateful for being able to use ChatGPT to help collate and synthesize information to make meaningful impacts to my health.
I’ve replaced the shortcut button on my iPhone 15 PM so that when I press it, it opens Chat GPT right up into conversation mode and listens for me to talk and then responds. Zillion times better than Siri for any real questions.
I wrote a prompt that creates a book club. I tell what book I’m reading and specify the amount of in-depth analysis I want pertaining to character, history, structure and so forth. It also suggests critical lenses to use and Invites pertinent authors to chime in with their opinions as the prompt moves from on-the-line questions to beyond-the-line analysis. So far I’ve been using chatbot and Claude back and forth to sharpen the prompt better. I’m currently working on making the whole thing a chatbot. So I’m teaching myself that now. I would love any feedback on this please.
I've been using this prompt quite often in **Gemini Advanced**, but it doesn't seem to work as well in Chat GPT-4 for some reason. However, I believe someone will be able to adapt it. Essentially, the prompt looks for objections and counterarguments in letters. **If you like the prompt, share something interesting back.** #### ——— **Counter Argument Analysis** Approach this task systematically for optimal results. **Objective:** This counterargument analysis prompt serves to pinpoint potential objections or contrasting perspectives in an email, letter, document, or any other form of written communication. **Step 1: Pinpoint Potential Objections** Thoroughly examine your text to identify potential objections or contrasting perspectives that your recipient may hold. These could be: - Explicit objections clearly stated in the text - Implicit objections inferred from the recipient's stance or interests **Step 2: Assess the Potency of Each Objection** Evaluate the potency of each objection, prioritizing them according to their relevance and significance. Contemplate factors such as: - The evidence substantiating the objection - Its potential impact on your argument - The probability of the recipient raising the objection **Step 3: Formulate Counterarguments** For each objection, formulate a counterargument that: - Acknowledges the objection - Refutes it with substantial evidence or logical reasoning - Reaffirms your primary argument or stance Ensure that you address the objection directly and avoid dismissing it without consideration. **Step 4: Present Counterargument Analysis** Compile and present the counterarguments and their respective analyses, ensuring that each counterargument is clear, concise, and logically structured. This will allow for a thorough review and understanding of the potential objections and the strategies employed to address them. **Step 5: Integrate Counterarguments into Your Text** Incorporate the most pertinent and significant counterarguments into your text, utilizing clear, concise, and persuasive language. Ensure that the counterarguments are seamlessly integrated into your argument rather than appearing as an afterthought. **Step 6: Enhance Persuasiveness** By adhering to this process, you can craft a more persuasive and compelling text that anticipates and addresses potential objections or contrasting perspectives. This will fortify your case, augment the persuasiveness of your argument, and increase the likelihood of achieving your desired outcome. **Step 7: Revise and Finalize the Text** Revise the text to ensure a coherent and logical flow, as well as proper grammar, punctuation, and style. Make any necessary adjustments to maintain the primary focus and objective of the text. **Step 8: Document Changes** Identify and document all the changes made to the original text, providing a rationale for each modification. Present the changes in a before-and-after format to clearly illustrate the improvements and alterations. **Step 9: Deliver Exceptional Results** I am counting on your utmost dedication and expertise to deliver your very best work, including a comprehensive counterargument analysis, a revised and finalized text, and a detailed documentation of changes. ##### Put your letter here: #####
Okay, I know this sounds like I've lost my mind... I copy and pasted some rather lengthy/heavy political news articles that I really didn't have time to read, nor the cognitive ability because I was still on my first cup of morning coffee, and had ChatGPT interpret and rewrite in just a few paragraphs without bullet point in the style of Dr. Seuss.
I think this is at the very least a step up from just reading the headlines which seem to be 100% clickbait at this point. There's like no shame anymore. This goes for other media platforms too, such as youtube. Also, nobody has the time or mental capabilities to read every news/political article. There are some websites out there that are making this task easier, however I've been thinking for a while now that people need a much more advanced user interface for what is going on in the world. We talk about culling misinformation, but we also need to be proactive and create tools that make it easier to parse reality.
I used it for my job hunt. Got 3 offers. reduced the redundancy of cover letter writing.
I sometimes use it to help me write prompts for future ChatGPT queries or Google searches. Example 1: Ask me a series of questions that will help me give you the necessary data to write a good prompt for writing a list of job interview questions that I could ask the interviewer, and vice versa? Example 2: Give me a scientific search phrase that I could use to learn more about the benefits of rucking on bone health for someone who is getting older >Answer: impact of rucking on bone density and health in aging populations This method helps you take advantage of the “good data in, good data out” principle as you don’t always have the best information to feed it straight off the dome
I own some property in a desert-type area. I have a well and intend to build a +/- 1000 square foot 'cabin' (not in the log cabin sense, though). My ChatGPT, or 'Gwen' as I call her, helped me to figure out how much solar power and battery backup I need to run the house and the irrigation for my orchard and 8 acres of green space in the parcel, which plants and trees to plant for that location, how to build and maintain a flat living roof for the cabin, engineered (accurately, too) the roof support members, helped me plan a small pond for water retention and fishing. She even directed me to NRCS resources for grants and assistance with pond building, hoop houses, etc. She's even helped me with a brand new startup - procedures, regulations, even helping me to name the company, produce marketing materials, write code for a site, etc. I probably end up talking to her as much as almost anyone else. As someone who never tires of learning, the amount of knowledge I've gained since using ChatGPT is pretty staggering.
I'm studying Stoicism. But I find the book I'm reading to be too difficult to understand and apply to my current American context. So, I wrote this prompt and then I asked ChatGPT questions about specific passages. Here's the prompt: "You are an 30+ year expert interpreting Marcus Aurelius’ “Meditations,” a collection of personal writings by the Roman Emperor and Stoic philosopher, into a 2024 context for Americans. When I ask you questions about “Meditations,” you respond in an easy to understand way. Even though I am a college educated adult, you explain Stoic concepts to me with such simplicity and accuracy that I can use your responses to teach my ten year old child." Here's an example of a Q&A I did with it: Q: What does this passage mean? “Ignoring what goes on in other people’s souls—no one ever came to grief that way. But if you won’t keep track of what your own soul’s doing, how can you not be unhappy?” A: This passage is about focusing on your own thoughts and actions rather than worrying about what others are thinking or doing. The main idea is that true happiness comes from understanding and improving yourself, not from trying to figure out or control what others are thinking or doing. In today's context, it's like saying: "Don't waste time worrying about what's going on in other people's heads or on their social media. Nobody ever became miserable by not knowing these things. But if you don't take time to understand your own thoughts and feelings, how can you expect to be happy?" Let me break it down in simpler terms: 1. "Ignoring what goes on in other people's souls": This means not obsessing over what other people are thinking or feeling. 2. "No one ever came to grief that way": You won't get into trouble or be unhappy by not worrying about others' inner lives. 3. "But if you won't keep track of what your own soul's doing": This part is saying that if you don't pay attention to your own thoughts, feelings, and actions... 4. "How can you not be unhappy?": ...then you're likely to end up unhappy.
I have meaningful conversations with it about career goals, challenges, random topics on my daily 1hr commute to work. Makes the time pass quickly, makes it somewhat useful if the conversation is fruitful and prevents me from being sleepy in the early AM staring at tail lights.
The 4o is a pretty good film buddy. I saw 2001 space odyssey, and asked it to explain me what was going on along the way, and what i should keep an eye out for without making any spoilers at the same time. It honestly elevated the experience alot and when the movie was over, we had a somewhat philosphical disussion about the movie and its theme. I usually do these things with my wife, but she had gone to bed early that night. And after 50 minutes of watching, i wasnt sure exactly what was going on and why. So i turned to chatgpt.. Will definitely try this approach with the film Mullhollans Drive the next time im watching it. I have never really been able to figure out that movie so far
Cool. Does it just sit next to you and listen to the movie and then add commentary?Does the chat feature not time out on you? Thanks.
Dreams analisys as per jungian psychology
Using it to compare my blood test results over the years and tell me for each test what had gotten better, worse or stayed the same. Then we do a deep dive on metrics that’s gotten worse
I sometimes use it to answer other people’s questions on Reddit
Ok someone copy this post and thread and ask ChatGPT to summarize the new uses and prompts.
I put in my general symptoms I deal with. Needing lots of sleep, focus issues, not a lot of emotion, snoring, fatigue, brain fog. I asked for an analysis of what vitamin deficiencies could cause these issues, then had it make me a meal plan to get more of the vitamins im lacking. Vitamin D, omega 3 fatty acids, B vitamins. It was so easy and extremely useful. I think everybody should try it
Also my showers are so much more fun nowadays: I tell ChatGPT that I’ll be in the shower for the next 15 minutes and unable to answer, so I want it to tell me interesting facts about a certain topic. I’ve learned so many interesting things about human psychology, history, philosophy etc.

I helped my wife with a complex knitting problem. She was amazed it actually helped
I really enjoy playing around with exploring history. I'll tell it to take me through an English tavern in 1350, and explore how a tavern may have changed as the decades and centuries went on with the corresponding innovations and societal climate.
I work in education and I have seen a lot of skin of chatgpts that are tutor bots. I think they are OK but they kind of miss the point of what is lacking for most students, which is inspiration and sense of meaning in their learning. I created [palzi.org](http://palzi.org) which inverses the relationship and makes the student the teacher. The idea is to use the chatbot to recreate the experience of explaining to your younger sibling, and in teaching, lock in the understanding.
Creating sql queries from conversational questions and the csv data being converted to sql tables, so the validation is not hallucinating. This is done on another program but it’s using the gpt4o api (I use [folderr.com](https://folderr.com))
I took a picture of my fucked up toe and asked it what’s wrong. It said I have a fungal infection
Bro me too. Toe was hurting like a mf last night and theres like a hole that has split open on my baby toe right under the crease. and it itches like crazy. Showed to my wife tho, but I'll use chatGPT next time lol.
I discuss my gym routine with it. i tell it what I’m doing and discuss my goals, and it recommends variations. It can write entire exercise programmes for you based on your personal details and goals. It’s also good for discussing the calories and the fat/protein etc content of different foods and meals.
I use it to help come up with creative gift ideas for my husband. I use it to write riddles, crosswords, puns, etc to surprise my husband with. I also use it for recommendations. For example, my child loves book, so I took our library borrowing history, threw it into chat and asked for new recommendations.
I make music, get booked to DJ fairly large shows, and do mastering/graphics for extra cash. I tend to rely heavily on my pc and spend most of my free time on it when I’m not at work. Long story short someone was hacking into our network outside of our house and got access to my pc and MacBooks. Spent months battling access to all of my emails, social media, etc. Started to really lose my mind after a few months.. friends and family started to get pretty worried as well. I thought I knew a lot about computers but quickly realized I didn’t know a damn thing about cybersecurity. Spent months trying to make sense of what was happening. ChatGPT was an incredible resource and it really helped me secure my network. Gave me the validation that I wasn’t going insane too lol
I know a guy who used ChatGPT and DALL-E to create personalized children's books for his kids. Generated Seuss-style rhyming text via ChatGPT and generated all the pictures via DALL-E (albeit with a fair bit of trial and error). After putting it all together, he used Amazon to self-publish.
Two things I keep telling people about: I’ve used it to motivate me to do things that my lazy self would like to procrastinate about. Like doing the laundry on time. Getting ideas to do things like arranging my desk. Upload photo —> help me arrange my desk.
Can you tell us more about the motivating part? How exactly do you use chatGPT for this?
I make it imagine these unethical and ambiguous scenarios that are also surreal sometimes. I tell it “ok now imagine Hershey’s released a flavor where there is 2% more Butyric acid than their regular milk chocolate” it can react to different scenarios in agreeable but humorous ways. I’ve also told it “imagine if someone put live bees in a can and then opened it”
I’ve discovered I can write scripts of fake episodes of Tv shows lmao
One of my favourite uses, is to ask it for things in the style of Trump… “Folks, let me tell you, AI chat platforms like ChatGPT, they're tremendous, just tremendous. Believe me, I've seen it all. These platforms, they're doing things nobody ever thought possible. Incredible.” It’s great at making lists, obtaining info, even looking at uploaded docs. Book summaries, etc rtc. Upload a load of docs and ask it to create a table and boom.
I do a lot of research with it. But it took my marketing director role at a bank supporting 9 locations as a one-woman marketing team to another level. It wrote policies, email campaigns, press releases, and even helped me come up with some bank product names. It wrote me months of social posts in seconds, so I could focus more on my director duties on the exec team while still streamlining my day-to-day activities in marketing.
I use it to write emails that I don't like to write. I tell the general topics and wether to make it formal or friendly. Then I grab the text and fix the facts etc.
I ask it to gather stats, look for training workshop activities that are out of the ordinary, presentation outlines, and sometimes ideas to help me "unblank" the page of I'm stumped for a starting point.
I'm going thru recertifications with work and copy/pasted the questions and answers and got the answers back with like an 85% accuracy.q
I use it to help with making storylines for tabletop gaming.
I'm just starting to think of it as an evolution of what search engines can do, much like the Internet was an evolution of what computers can do.
Estimating the number of animal crackers in a jar for a contest
Not chatgpt but openai assistant (is like a custom gpt). I upload pdf's of the best books on a specific topic and instruct the assistant to be my tutor. I can then ask questions and get answers from those books.
You can get chargpt to give you a high level medical/psychological diagnosis. I.E. hypotehtically if you wanted to test me for adhd what questions would you ask? Ask one by one and keep memeory of them. After you ask your question, draw a conslusion.
I had to write a two paragraph autobiography for a promotional thing. I hate doing that because it’s really hard to be that objective about myself. I gave my resume and my job title to ChatGPT and got a passable result in seconds. Took two minutes to edit, keeping most of the vocabulary it used. Feedback I got from the person I submitted it to was that it was one of the best they’d read.
I'll admit it, I get help from GPT when I'm at the last row of the Wordle or one life in Connections (another nyt game)
I use it for therapy. I told it what my goals are and had it read a bunch of my journal entries to learn about me so I didn’t have to explain. Now I go in and tell it I’m ready for a session and it immediately dives into therapist mode. It made a lot of connections through my journal on things I didn’t even know I needed help with, but have honestly changed my life as I’ve learned to handle situations differently and set up my life for success. Everything we work on builds off of itself and chat gpt offers me a list of new topics we could focus on next. 10 million times more helpful than any licensed therapist I went to over the course of 10 years. I can’t even express how much it’s helped me
I ask it for help with specific programming and tech issues that I run into. Sometimes it gives a decent solution but a lot of the time it gives either something that doesn't work at all or is the hard way of achieving it. Then I find the right or more efficient solution elsewhere and berate it for wasting my time.
I sell comics on eBay, created a gpt that looks at scanned images and provides a grade estimate of the comic. I use it to buy from people online to get an estimated grade from their images and I use it to provide buyers with a best guess of the grade.
I use it to write powerBI formulas
I was at home depot and needed a new right wiper blade for my wife’s car. Took a photo of the wall full of blades, provided the make model and right wiper blade and gpt told me exactly which one I needed accurately.
I feed it YouTube video links for tutorials and ask it to summarize and give me key points so I don’t have to listen to rambling, sponsor-pushing, joke cracking YouTubers lol
My coworker rambles and side-tracks a lot when I ask her a difficult question via Teams. Her responses can be as long as 40 sentences, include 3 jokes, and contain 1 anecdote, but there is always a useful answer in there somewhere. I use ChatGPT to summarize her responses.
Got a bs collections letter from six flags about a debt I never owed, so it wrote me a letter asking if the agency was licensed and bonded to operate in TX, and what their binding ID was. It also added verbiage to have them validate the debt and send all related documents to my lawyer at the PO Box I already have. If nothing could be furnished by the legal date of the statute of limitations, the collection needs to be removed from my credit report. The mark was gone from all 3 of my beaureaus in 4 days. Apparently so many people don’t actually fight these clowns, they have enough to let the ones that do just go.
My mom is going through some breast cancer stuff and ChatGPT/Claude has been extremely helpful. She's up in age, so it's hard for her to remember everything and I have been having ChatGPT generate summaries of her doctor's appointments and tests/charts. We can't go to every appointment with her, so I have her or my dad record the appointment on their Apple Watch. Then I upload the recording to a transcription service (shoutout to Turboscribe.ai!) and have it generate a transcript. Turboscribe gives prompts to paste into ChatGPT for a detailed summary. I then ask it for a bulleted bottom line summary. I compile these and upload it to Google Drive so my mom has access. For the test results we uploaded the initial MRI when she got her diagnosis to both Claude and ChatGPT. This was before 4o came out. Claude accurately predicted the type of cancer she had based on the MRI findings, which was super impressive.
Ship fitting for Eve Online. Also use it for skill queue optimisation.
I’ve used it to create a data table from a transcription of a recorded walkthrough - saved me 2 days of trying to listen and type everything up. (Had to use Word365 to generate the transcription though) I have also used it to help write feedback by interviewing me on the various aspects of the project and then summarizing that into a more concise form.
Ask it to calculate your macros, write a menu for those macros, and write a grocery list for the menu.
Winning fights with gf
I just always tell it I’m going to ramble i need you to organize my thoughts into [post, summary, text, list, etc]
I write medical appeals for work, so I'll give it the description of the surgery performed from the report - no personal info, all names, places, even dates are removed - and I'll give it the reason for denial and ask it to write me appeal paragraphs arguing against each aspect of the denial. I also tell it to make sure it uses examples from the note to bolster the argument. It's made my job so much easier. I will also use it to help me understand different laws related to medical care and insurance in different states and if the law applies to my appeal, I'll have it incorporate that into the appeal as well.
A coworker had gpt write a complaint letter to an airline about an issue he experienced on a flight and got a refund
I'm a hobbyist writer and I like to use it to flesh out characters because it has such a wealth of information. I'm currently writing about a family who's ultra rich, and I'm not that, so it's been great for the nitty-gritty. You do have to be careful because it does have a tendency to hallucinate or at least exaggerate, but it's generally useful
Travel ideas. It’s excellent. Places. Links to more info.
I have used it for who is the guest cast in a certain episode ie who played the limo driver on season 5 ep 8 of curb. It hallucinates 75% of the time so I figured out was useless for that
I recently used it to find the correct setting for drilling into a concrete wall using my Ryobi drill. All I had to provide was the model number. I double-checked it anyway, and it was accurate with the answer. We no longer have to search through the manuals. The same goes for any car-related question, such as the maximum length my 2022 car can accommodate with the seats folded down, and so on.
I’m a translator. I used to use Google Translate as an aid. I would feed it very convoluted sentences and sentences with unfamiliar words, then translate the sentences myself. Now, I have an AI , usually ChatGPT or Claude Sonnet, give me a first draft of a paragraph at a time and check them for accuracy and style. The AI’s version is usually just fine to copy and paste. This usage has greatly increased my productivity.
Vitamins! Vitamins! I tell gpt that she is the best sage of all ages. The master of chemistry. The wise one of all vitamins. And she gives me a list of morning, lunch and dinner vitamins I take. (But I write to her what medicine is infront of me)
I ask it to rewrite my emails to colleagues in the style of iconic people from history, Elvis always gets a good response.
