"How I use ChatGPT daily (scientist/coder perspective)."
I recommend it to anyone working with technology, but especially if you think that LLMs are "useless" and are open-minded to see how they can be helpful, delightful, and playful.
@resistor @aras I work with images and often videos, do a lot of presentations and papers which need videos, my hobbies revolve around images and music and recently involve recording videos for social media :)
And for regexes, it's probably highly domain specific. There are people who write them every day, I do it just once per month/two months/quarter, which is enough to always forget then
@BartWronski @aras I'm constantly trying to figure out what I'm missing when others are speaking so enthusiastically about using LLMs in their workflows.
I occasionally make an ffmpeg invocation or a regex, but and usually of the very simple variety (mix this video with that audio, replace this substring with that substring) which I've done often enough to memorize. Anything more complex than that is less frequent than every 6 months for me, so I have yet to have a chance to even try it out.
@BartWronski @aras I don't really have use for most of the NLP-ish ones. I'm not reading or writing academic papers, and I've never wished I had a summary of one.
It is interesting to see that you get use out of it for language learning. I usually have good results using Google for that, but I suppose I could try an LLM for it.
The best use case I've found so far is that ChatGPT 3.5 can explain my daughter's fourth grade math problems, as long as I'm very insistent that it not use algebra.
@resistor @aras The point of my post was not to show that those are the only use cases but rather that for most things I do daily, I found some use that makes them more enjoyable and easier. :) Often very unrelated ones.
You do different things; maybe they can also benefit from those. Or maybe not, but it's worth considering as an additional tool available. :)
And at least not dismissing other people's use-cases and usefulness.
@BartWronski @aras I’m looking for ideas to try, since I don’t find it useful today.
Like I said, the language learning one is something I’ll have to try.
