I'm not in tech like most of y'all. I help out my dad with his consulting company for mostly public agencies. The other day a group we're working with wanted my dad to write some media notes for the unveiling of a project that's been in the works for a while. I gave chatgpt a quick prompt of what the project is, who the audience is, how it's important for a certain demographic and for the community, etc. My dad edite…

Made me curious, did you disclose to her on your date that the opening line was -enhanced- with AI?

I’m a company of one, and I use it every day, multiple times a day as a coding assistant. I’m using the excellent Code Genie (sp?) plug-in to VSC which puts a chat window directly in VSC and does cool things like allow you to highlight blocks of code and ask contextual questions / refactors / bug checks, etc. I would say my efficiency is up ~20% since starting to use it, and my Google searches & StackOverflow visits…

How do you measure productivity?

How long it takes me to build new features for my application, fix bugs, and in general get things done.

I believe this is the extension: https://github.com/ai-genie/chatgpt-vscode

Thank you - yep that’s the one. Sorry I was on mobile and going by memory.

For a personal project, I used ChatGPT to help create a little design tool in P5.js to find balanced arrangements of 5 magnets for a new rotary magnetic bow design. (drag the vertices of pentagon) https://editor.p5js.org/spDuchamp/full/zgtkE2xik Here is the final 3D printed wheel that balances beautifully. https://twitter.com/CommonStef/status/1654663207707979776?s=...

This is a really impressive use-case.

I wonder how many such problems exist, where the inventor had essentially given up because there was no easy way to bring in expertise to answer a pressing question.

i use it for some small projects or features where i know what i want, but not sure the best way to implement it. for instance i had a project where for scanning purposes, i needed to copy roughly 50 container images from google container registry to an in house azure container registry. the process was taking quite a while as we transferred roughly 70gb worth of images.

i asked chat gpt to take my script and modify it to utilize multi threading. i had used threading in a project years ago, but couldn’t remember exactly how to implement it. it gave me some snippets that got me 95% of the way there, just a couple small tweaks and it was good to go

Were you able to stop using Copilot with that extension? I'm waiting for Copilot X and my Copilot use is very minor..

Not allowed, because the privacy is non-existant, the licensing is questionable, Microsoft sees everything, and the responses are often wrong and require more work to verify. The risks are greater than the reward.

> Microsoft sees everything Are you using Windows or Microsoft Office? Same here. Or Microsoft Exchange?

Source on Microsoft employees seeing everything I write in "Microsoft Office"? Not 365, but local docx
