#12I found it has replaced a large percentage of google searches for me - particularly programming related. I can literally put the same keywords in ChatGPT that I used to put into google, and I'll get answers from various programming language docs, with examples I can follow-up on, with no SEO spam / ads.

#13I sometimes use it for questions about configuration around tooling, but I have pretty mixed success. I don’t know if it’s because I use the free version, or if it’s the training material for the subject matter, but it is wrong about 50% of the time unless I know how to ask it the right way.

#20Generally I use it to try and waste as much of Open AI and Microsoft's money as I possibly can. I try and get it to use the absolute maximum number of tokens as I possibly can for free doing pointless tasks, I use the image generation to produce the weirdest art I can without triggering the censorship and when I'm bored I just tell it as many lies as possible and make it treat them as truth.
I don't know if this is feeding into the training data or not but I hope that it is.
