So that's where people are limiting themselves with their lack of imaginations. Any instruction you can think of, it will attempt to follow.

You can also tell it to write dialogue between two characters and give context information. You can tell it to describe a setting. Basically anything you could ask a person to come up with on the spot it can do.

I use it not as an absolute truth, but instead a starting point for whatever I'm doing.

I use it a lot for debugging code and PowerShell scripts working in IT. Often “building” a script is really just a matter of finding some others persons script and testing and updating until it works for you. ChatGPT actually builds it to your specifications the first time, so cuts down a lot on the testing/tweaking.

Hi. I ran into the same problems when I was researching. It was making up scientific studies, in detail, using real scientists' names. That freaked me out.

The creators call the phenomenon 'Hallucinations' and ChatGPT4 is reported to have 'fewer.'

In about 20 minutes, I worked with it to produce a design of a marketable hand tool .. which it had clearly invented!

I tried with another DIY product today : it spat out a design for me. I asked if this was an industry standard, and it said, no, it was a custom design for me based on several other designs on the market.

Many people must have the germ of a product in their minds : these AIs could help them reach the market.

Perhaps we will see all sorts of new gadgets out there in a year or two?

(I have also used it to write all sorts of software)
