I've been dreading writing up my next campaign, too much like work, but I can't bring myself to wing it.

I used it to bounce ideas off of and write characters that tied into side quests with rapid revisions based on my adjustments. I did in two hours what would usually take me 10. Just have to paste text and turn it into an outline.

Lol same here. Although if you get really specific with the prompt, even mentioning styles and people you want it to imitate it gets better. But there really isn't a soul in the lyrics. The imagery is basic most of the time. DAN sometimes makes better results.

Musically it's a great gimmick for an open mic song! I went to an open mic and told everyone to help think of a prompt for chatGPT to write lyrics for and then improvised a song from there. Was a big hit.

I’ve had it write up SWOT analyses, compare tables of data and write summaries, write strategic plans… this shit scares me lol I even had it write some SQL and when I got errors I told it “I got these errors, can you fix it?” Until it got the code right and gave me what I wanted to see.

I agree, it is so confident even when it is very wrong. I was using it to review Boolean algebra, and it asserted that two expressions were equivalent when they were not. I asked it to prove it using a truth table. It printed the truth table correctly, showing that the expressions were not equivalent. Then it said, "As you can see, the expressions are equivalent."

I have been using it to re-draft and paraphrase news articles I find on the Internet to prepare lessons for English classes. After I ask it to paraphrase an article, I look at the result and 'paraphrase the paraphrase', so to speak.

I've noticed two benefits:

  • It speeds up my lesson preparation time by automating a task I used to do entirely myself.

  • Since I started using it for this purpose, I've noticed that my own paraphrasing skills are getting better and faster. So in addition to the benefit of automating a work task, I've also benefitted in an improvement in my own personal writing and editing skills.
