#182Am I the only one who isn't using ChatGPT on a regular basis? Though I've made a few attempts to use it, generally I already know the answers to most trivial questions.

I've played with it for writing text and it was fine for some boilerplate definitional stuff but I could have copy/pasted that pretty trivially too. Maybe could have saved me a few minutes with some starting point listicle stuff too--but would have taken a bunch of rework and additions to be publishable. Anything that's not straightforward? Even if not flat-out wrong, it lacks any real nuance. I also played with it f…
One key thing especially for writing is to give it examples or a starting paragraph that it should continue from. If you just tell it to “write a document about X” it defaults to a very poor style or worse a list format. So instead copy paste in examples of your own writing and instruct it to write in that style or provide instructions and then write the intro paragraph yourself.

I've been using it to learn programming concepts I'm unfamiliar with and I perceive a huge difference in quality of chat-gpt answers between: - Salesforce API - AWS - React Native The react native docs are good enough that I really empathize with what you're saying - wouldn't I just be faster reading the docs? However, for salesforce I feel exactly the opposite - the docs are all over the place and message boards ten…
>- Salesforce API
I've used it to write unit test methods for Salesforce apex classes & triggers. For the most part, the unit test code it spits out is actually decent. Occasionally I'll have to clean it up a bit or make minor corrections. But it has greatly helped free up some time doing mundane stuff.

Using it effectively is hard. It requires developing pretty strong intuition as to what it's useful for and what it isn't, which means you have to work with it quite a bit before it "clicks" and you start finding it useful.
This is pretty unintuitive, especially given the hype around it.
Once you DO learn how to use it the productivity boost it can provide for all sorts of different things is substantial. I use it a dozen or so times a day at this point.
I've written a bit about how I use it here: https://simonwillison.net/series/using-chatgpt/

#189Not sure if it's GPT-powered, but I now get all my news from http://newsminimalist.com It's so calm and to the point, I'm never going back to anything else.
Interesting. Is there a way to shape it to topics you care about? It's all about Sudan and Ukraine, which while globally important I'm much more interested in local (Australian) news / tech news.
Hey, author here.
Yeah, the initial idea was to uncover globally significant news, but a lot of people are asking for ways to find "locally important" or "industry important" news. So I'm shifting my direction a little bit.
It's currently possible to filter news by broad category in a paid version (health, science, tech). I plan to expand the list of categories, so it's possible to go deeper. I also plan to add news in other languages (translated) and add country filters, so it's possible to see only news related to individual country/region.

I only use it for fun, just to see how it would respond to a particular question.
At the moment, I can't find a serious use case for me. I find it really hard to guide the AI in the direction I want or requires extra work I'm not ready to put in [1].
