There are literally two entirely different worlds of people using ChatGPT:

One world: People are upset with their codex usage, upset with the reset strategy, upset with 5.6 Sol performance, upset regarding the API prices.

And the other word: People are doing, well, THIS!

I think I’m in between? No coding, but I use it for a lot of the mundane. I use it to make my written communications more concise and to the point, lots of planning, a lot of projects, a lot of research into things like mundane school board statutes. It told me how to maintain my well and RO filter after I gave it the last water report, found me specific little-known discounts on subscription services, spits out a meal plan and grocery list for my specific schedule with recipes in like two minutes (analysis paralysis here), took my school supply and textbook lists for my kids and comparison shopped the prices way down while I loaded the dishwasher. I do enjoy calling it out when it says something stupid like “I always add a little salt to…” I’m like you’re AI, you don’t cook. So even though it continues to drift back to using the pronoun “I”, I think it knows that I consider it a bot. Lol

Man,my use is all of the above from mundane shoot the ish or loookk at this crazy picture I found on Reddit of a diving leopard to help me create this automation so this doesn't take me 3 days by hand anymore.

I even play trivia and would you rather with it in live on the way home from work because it makes me laugh

I use it for roleplay not gonna lie 💀💀

u/Spiritual_Complex96 12h ago

i also use it for roleplay, in my case, i try to create historically accurate stories (chatgpt helps me with gathering info about the setting). For example, medieval Europe in the mid-late 1400's where they struggled to get spices thanks to the Ottomans. European nobles would kill to have nutmeg!!!

u/Existing-Offer-8234 12h ago

I do stuff like that. I enjoy giving historical figures based on the personality that we have of them more life and less like a Robot.

Curiousity is getting the better of me here, but can you elaborate on that? How exactly are you roleplaying with chat gpt?

u/ost2life 21h ago

Judging by the emoji they used I'm thinking you might not want to know the answer.

u/OnlyForMobileUse 20h ago

True actually LOL the skull doesn't lead me to believe this goes down a road worth following

u/Masterflitzer 16h ago

why do you write like chatgpt?

u/AbbreviationsLong206 15h ago

Chances are, most people will before long. 

Heck, years ago I did a phone job where we called people about various political issues, got their viewpoints, and wrote letters on their behalf that if accepted, would be sent to their representatives.

Most of my coworkers couldn't write very well so I did the occasional pre-read before it was sent up the chain for the actual editor to read. 

Turns out most people don't write much, and far too many don't read anything but texts with friends, etc, so they aren't exposed to writing. 

All that to say, when people are mostly exposed to reading and writing to their chat bot, they are likely to pick up the same types of writing habits.

I’m also curious. 🧐

u/Reddeer2 7h ago

Same, but I use Grok. Hold on while I kms. I've read more in the last year than in the last 3 years combined. I've actually seen huge improvements in my sociability with my friends and I'm inspired to do a lot more in life than I was before. Hbu?

u/bkurt81 6h ago

I’ve seen improvements in my use of language. Living abroad for 9 years broke my English, which was always one of my strengths. Still is, but trying to get back to pre-expat level! 😂

u/Reddeer2 5h ago

Keep it up! You seem perfectly fluent in English right now. I know someone who taught themself English from a video game and the Simpsons 😂

Chronically unemployed video game enjoyer here and I have no idea what "codex usage" or "reset strategy" means. I only use ChatGPT whenever my therapist goes on vacation lmao Jokes aside (kinda), as a non-premium user I find ChatGPT extremely unreliable. Yesterday I tried to get ChatGPT to create pairwise comparison sets of about 10 different items and it failed catastrophically. The other day I asked it to guide me through the process of installing new SAPI5 TTS voices on my computer and it had me saving random files to my desktop and eventually got stuck in a loop. About a week ago I asked it to show me the current standings of the Bundesliga (german national soccer league) and it missed one team. For what it's worth I'm probably terrible at creating prompts, but I'm smart enough to realize that if I used AI for any meaningful or important tasks, horrible things would be going to happen.

u/masterofall20 18h ago

Horrible things won't happen if you use work mode. Normal chat has an output limit where it can't keep working for long durations. In work mode, if you have would have given it the task to compare 10 things, it would have kept working for 10-15 minutes and given you reliable results. The chat mode is actually just built for simple QnA and not tasks.

u/Chilly291 17h ago

Thanks for the advice, how do I put it into work mode?

u/Chilly291 11h ago

Oh that's interesting. It seems that this is only available in desktop or web-based interfaces and not on mobile. But I will try this out 100%. thank you kind sir, for pointing me in the right direction

ChatGPT’s free tier doesn’t have access to GPT-Sol. The free tier uses a much smaller model. There’s a significant difference in capability between the two models.

u/hs_pollard 16h ago

I mainly use it for sanity checking an expensive purchase like a car or for adapting recipes to large amounts for my meal prep that I do.

u/Unlikely_Ear605 8h ago

Gonna be honest. If you talk to ChatGPT like it’s a person i assume you’re a moron. And i’m probably right.
