I don't use it, it returns mostly incorrect code that makes me realize it's not worth it. I'm more productive and write better code ignoring ChatGPT 95% of the time.

No offense, but I wouldn't hire you based on your resistance to learning new technology.

You haven't spent enough time with GPT-4 and CoPilot to understand how LLMs can save you time. There is a reason why the world's top engineers like Andrej Kaparthy[1] and Guido van Rossum[2] are using these tools, they save a ton of time and work when used correctly.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

I always wanted to do this very specific in Django. I don't work with Python,so even though I knew what I want to do,but my skills weren't there to create working code. So I thought I'll throw the problem at chatGPT. The generated code had a couple of flaws, but I managed to fix them in 15 min or so and got a working result. The code also gave me some interesting perspective on how some things could be implemented.

That’s interesting since I threw some questions at it about Django and I didn’t think it gave very idiomatic patterns for it.

If you iterate and ask it to provide more idiomatic patterns, it will!

We are a small team and those are just my use cases: - Debugging - I just throw 100s of lines of logs and it's pretty good at figuring out what needs to be done - Landing page copy generation and iterations on that copy - Summarizing papers - Extracting insights from user feedback - Improving emails, fixing grammar

Debugging - I just throw 100s of lines of logs and it's pretty good at figuring out what needs to be done ... Summarizing papers How does that work, given the small context window size? I've tried dumping a lot of text into the ChatGPT window and it just ignores most of it, or complains about the input being too long.

Regarding debugging - I'm pasting the relevant chunks while explaining a bit at the beginning what I am trying to achieve.

Personally I'm using these tools for coding, research, and writing. Anyone who doesn't understand how much they can accelerate these tasks when used effectively are going to get left in the dust. I've spoken to colleagues who don't seem to get it as well, it's strange to me

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…

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

Quick question: How does Code Genie get responses from the GPT API so quickly? I'm developing an app right now and it takes 40 seconds to query gpt-3.5-turbo.

I've had the same experience and agree. I've talked to engineers who initially have the same standoff-ish opinion, then after a few weeks of using the tools end up changing their minds and adopting them.

At our company, we've been using ChatGPT as a fun, creative and engaging tool that feels like having a quirky, digital sidekick! Picture this: we're brainstorming and optimizing ideas, and suddenly, our very own AI assistant comes in, adding a splash of color to our discussions. It's like having an extra team member who never tires, always ready to enhance our prompts with fresh ideas and boundless creativity. And the best part? It's ChatGPT itself that's writing this story for you! No matter the challenge, ChatGPT has our back, making work not just efficient but also a truly enjoyable experience.

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?

Haha good question. I...did not. I feel a bit weird about that but I like to overshare, so it will definitely come out. She was talking about how she uses chatgpt to help write abstracts for her engineering PhD papers. Hopefully she won't take issue with it and think I'm not genuine, etc. I think it will be fine though based on our other conversations.

I did actually do something somewhat similar with another girl. She was a nursing student who used chatgpt for statistics homework (as well as to cheat on exams!). After we hung out I sent her a simple chatgpt generated message along the lines of thanks for hanging out, had a great time, should do it again, etc. Then immediately after I sent a message saying that I had asked chatgpt what to say to someone after a date. She seemed to think that was funny...although we never did hang out again (for other reasons).
