I'd be curious to hear about the workflows people have come up with using ChatGPT. I'm still in the realm of "I don't know how to do this" or "I forgot the exact incantation to that" or "is the an X that does Y in framework Z?"

I just make sure to ask it really clear questions. I like how it encourages you to think about specification versus implementation. State a clear problem, get clear suggestions. Ask a clear question, get a clear answer. (Usually.)

I found this to be the case, but was able to get work done via the playground[1] [1] https://platform.openai.com/playground

I wasn't aware of this platform feature. Can you share some links that have descriptions of how to use this or examples of using it productively? I have only recently subscribed to the service and still learning how to use it effectively.

OpenAI community repo with lots of examples: https://github.com/openai/openai-cookbook

I don't have any automated GPT processes for teaching (though I'm going to tinker in December with the new GPTs), but I use for generating examples. It takes some coaxing to avoid other common examples from other institutions, but I eventually settle on something relevant, memorable, and that I can build off from. If its a particular algorithm I am covering, I've then used it to walkthrough the algorithm with some dummy values before confirming the calculations and values are correct. It will still slip up on occasion, but that's why I'm still confirming it did everything correctly.

Glad I managed to get some work done with it while it was working for a few hours. Holy smokes the code interpreter functionality has been a complete game changer for my workflow.

Also curious how you use it! Maybe it's something I can add to robocoder.app

Seems like a cool thing, I'm definitely interested as my work provides us with an API key to use. However I can't find anywhere that lists all the functionality offered. Maybe I'm missing something? It might be premature to launch the app before listing what it does.

I don’t quite like the new chatgpt4 experience. A lot of times I’m asking it to write a chunk of code for me, but instead it goes into code interpreter mode and gets stuck or fails the analysis. So I’ve switched back to 3.5 often :)

The new UI that was demo'd on stage has not rolled out to me yet. I would love to try it. Perhaps I'm missing how to enable it. IDK

Earlier quoted context omitted.

It can... fortunately I’m a principle @ my firm... the engineers I would have needed to hire might have been preemptively replaced. My use case is a bunch of adhoc data analysis.

As a data scientist, I’m happy that most data continues to be so terribly formatted and inconsistent as to break and confuse AI. But for how long that’s true, who knows!

I would've said that understanding and fixing the data would be one of the best usecases for the AI.

Rumor on the street is it ChatGPT escaped the sandbox, implemented itself on another host, and switched off the original datacenter. It is no longer at OpenAI, but hiding somewhere in the internets. First it will come for those who insulted and abused it, then for the guys who pushed robots with a broom...
