Got myself the paid version and now I'm hooked.

[u/bohobud]

As the title says... I'm hooked. I use it for work and personal purposes. It's insane. It can be a friend, a therapist, a mentor, a tutor, just everything. What are some other creative ways of using gpt?

Honestly. Of all the paid software in the world, the bang for buck you get with GPT is unrivalled if you sit down and spend some time working with it.

[u/AtreidesOne → u/GoosedDotIE]

The bit after the "and" is key. So many people just ask some dumb questions they'd ask of Google, see it make a mistake, then write it off as a silly toy.

[u/Bbkobeman → u/AtreidesOne]

I feel personally attacked. I love the dad jokes though.

And the more you understand its limitations, the more you can work with it. I was asking it to analyze a batch of similar documents, and I noticed that after the first few, it became less and less reliable. For the first batch, I spent a lot of time reviewing the documents myself and overwriting the errors. For the second batch, I asked why it was making errors, and it said that it was an issue of "context drift" -- when it analyzes a batch of similar documents, after the first three or five, it starts to mix them up. So now I save my prompts in a separate document and then start a new session after every four that it analyzes. So I can't feed it everything all at once and have it produce reliable work in an instant. But it's still way faster than me analyzing every document for myself.

I did that, but I didn’t write it off as a silly toy, its like when I was a teenager opening limewire and then suddenly I cannot think of a single song to download, I open chat gpt now thinking it’s going to change my life and I’m like “tell me a joke”

[u/BobbleBobble → u/GoosedDotIE]

How do you "spend some time working with it?" I'm getting a premium subscription for work and have really only used it as a novelty so far

[u/saywutnoe → u/BobbleBobble]

The same way you asked this question on Reddit, is the same way you could ask questions to ChatGPT.

"Spend some time working with it" by asking as many questions as you possibly can, for as long as you can muster.

This "novelty" of a tech tool doesn't have to be just a toy for people who like toys. With enough experience, it can become an extension of oneself and the way we process thinking.

'Tis my opinion, anyway ;)

[u/GoosedDotIE → u/BobbleBobble]

Get it to build Python scripts so you can code solutions that don’t exist. Connect it to local LLAMA models. These two things are things I couldn’t dream of doing two weeks ago - and now I’ve done them.

[u/aiducational → u/GoosedDotIE]

I never so much as grazed Python before CGPT but seeing what it could do in the code tool got me interested.

I still don't know much about Python except for the basics of its package management, the look of the code and some of the more famous libraries, but I also don't expressly need to know it like I do my other languages for my job.

But the cool part is, I understand code well enough to guide and steer the Python okay, and bullshit-sniff it, so I can use the chat bot to make utilities for me.

A few months ago I had 144 PDF résumés to go through and didn't want to have to spot-check every single one unless it had certain keywords (don't worry, I am not involved with hiring).

In like five actual minutes I had code I could point at a folder, and it would read it and delete the file if it didn't have the phrase/phrases.

I did sample trials of a single file, then five, then ten, and even twenty that I reviewed manually and it had perfect accuracy.

So rather than go find some specific purpose-built tool with ads and subscriptions or something, or an online service, or a helpful but hideous Grep tool, I have boilerplate made just for me I could easily customize to save myself time.

That's really neat!

[u/GoosedDotIE → u/aiducational]

I’ve also learned more about API best practice. Storing creds in a ENV file etc. like you genuinely pick up stuff.

[u/Express_Presence5475]

I told it my take home my expenses and it put it all on a excel spreadsheet for me to see and allowed me to have a solid plan for saving for a house! All within minutes

[u/thpineapples → u/Express_Presence5475]

I'm more of a word person, and it was natural for me to use AI to augment my language and communication. I know it didn't do numbers and logic so well, but it didn't occur to me that I could probably now ask it to help with stuff like what you commented. Would you mind sharing the style of prompt you used so that I can get the desired output?

[u/eist5579 → u/thpineapples]

I use it for finances all the time.

You just need to be specific. For our latest round of financial planning I gave it our finances, said how old we are. Told it goals we have. And asked it for a plan.

Then I just keep talking to it. I learn through the conversation so I ask more narrow questions as we step through it.

Eventually I ask for the financial breakdown of our plan into a table/spreadsheet.

So I guess the advice is: be detailed up front, it needs the context. Then just walk through the conversation and continue to dive deeper. When you’re done, ask for a neat summary.

[u/thpineapples → u/eist5579]

Thanks. I will give it a try, and hope it doesn't laugh at me.

[u/venom_holic_]

I stopped using my brain after subscribing chatgpt plus. even this comment is from chatgpt( jk - or am I ?)

[u/LegendOfKhaos → u/venom_holic_]

I just downloaded it to my neuralink, so I have two minds in my head. GPT does all my work, and I get all the depression.

Still a couple flaws.

[u/FellowKidsFinder69]

Is this your first "AI App"?

Because while I use ChatGPT literally daily I find there a special tools that are way better for different usecases.

For example Napkin AI let's you create some nice infographics for your presentations.

Elevenlabs is great to turn anything into an audiobook,

NotebookLM from Google even let's you create your own podcasts from PDFs

https://gethivemind.app/ generates a social feed about any topic you want to learn - basically reddit but for whatever you are currently studying.

Then there's something like https://www.chatpdf.com/ for better PDF usage or directly Claude.ai (from Anthropic)

If you are looking for cheaper ChatGPTs with OpenAI models behind https://answersai.com/ is quite nice (I think 8 Dollars or so) - there are also others but I haven't much difference between the,

If you look for cheap and good image generation Flux Schnell is your best bet (better than dalle 2).

It's open-source you can get it here for example https://replicate.com/black-forest-labs/flux-schnell

If you want to start programming go for https://www.cursor.com/

There are a lot of cool tools out there. Could literally write a book about them (yes there is a tool for that too lol).

Edit: little bit of formating. sorry for the mess wrote this on mobile.

Edit 2: Added Cursor

[u/desadap → u/FellowKidsFinder69]

And all these that you mention, are they paid? I haven't really understood half of the things you said, but it definitely sounds very interesting.

[u/emiltsch → u/desadap]

Just turn on o1-preview and experiment with that too. You'll get most if not all functions listed previously. Plus, be sure that your Settings>Personalization>Customize ChatGPT is completely setup and optimized itself. (enable for new chats too)

This is how you'll take everything to another level and teach more about you and the responses that you'd like.

Turn on all three of the capabilities at the bottom too.

For example, you tell it to never respond using the word “delve” or never end new content generation by saying “In conclusion” - you get 1500 characters, use them all!

Enjoy!

[u/Imposter24 → u/emiltsch]

I had no idea the customize was an option. Any suggestions for good customizations especially around coding?

[u/emiltsch → u/Imposter24]

Yeah, that's a major element to leverage. It really does make a big difference.

Think about all the things you'd say to a developer who worked for you. What guidelines and expectations would you share with them?

[u/continue_in_park → u/emiltsch]

I tapped out my customizations and told ChatGPT to edit for clarity and what will best help it understand my preferences. It helped its understanding even more and gave me more characters to play with.

[u/UnusuallyYou → u/continue_in_park]

I've typed up this ongoing fued with my mother over my life and had one of the GPTS that makes stories for certain subreddits, if ykwim, and it gave me my story post.

Then I said write one from the perspective of the mother and it did and it blew me away.

I learned so much about myself and how I was often wrong in my thinking.

[u/emiltsch → u/UnusuallyYou]

That's a wonderful way to use it. And you saved thousands on therapy, well done. Hope its helping you personally.

[u/FellowKidsFinder69 → u/desadap]

Most are paid but offer a free tier.
In general most AI Apps need to paid because the LLMs cost money.

Is there something particular that you didn't understand because I phrased it badly?

English is sadly not my first language.

[u/Freewheelinthinkin → u/FellowKidsFinder69]

I’m not who you’re replying to, and this isn’t the topic at hand, but it’s worth letting you know that I would never guess english isn’t your first language. Your english is excellent, and more accurate than most english on Reddit. I don’t know if you use an ai to refine, but it reads clear.

[u/FellowKidsFinder69 → u/Freewheelinthinkin]

That is really nice of you. I'm originally German so sometimes some native sayings find their way into my formulations.

I'm in a positive way super jealous of people that can speak english extremely eloquently.

That's what I am using AI partly for. The rest is coding.

[u/SexPartyStewie → u/FellowKidsFinder69]

I used to be able to speak English eloquently, now I just curse a lot.

I'm trying to get chatgpt to curse and swear like a Shakespearean peasant but it's not working out too well..

[u/FellowKidsFinder69 → u/SexPartyStewie]

eloquent cursing is the pinnacle use of any language

[u/dunghole → u/FellowKidsFinder69]

I, as an Aussie, have reached peak language usage. Fuck’n oath!

[u/FellowKidsFinder69 → u/dunghole]

You haven't reached it. You're born with it lol

[u/imharpo → u/SexPartyStewie]

We need a Scottish version AI that can hurl obscene insults a paragraph at a time.

[u/TheHustleHunk → u/FellowKidsFinder69]

Dude thanks for this. This is awesome.

[u/FellowKidsFinder69 → u/TheHustleHunk]

You are welcome.
I didn't know that so many people struggle to find good AI tools. Will make a longer post in a few days.

I'm working in that field as a product manager so most tools feel so "native" to me like a normal google search.

[u/Spiritual-Promise402 → u/FellowKidsFinder69]

Thank you so much! I think the struggle lies in so many options being available, at least for me. I have such a busy work life that I don't have time to test out all the different apps. Thank you again for the recommendations! 🙏🏽🙏🏽

[u/TheWalkin_Dude → u/FellowKidsFinder69]

I’d love to know what other AI apps you know of! You turned me on to many new great ones!

[u/KontoOficjalneMR → u/FellowKidsFinder69]

https://gethivemind.app/ generates a social feed about any topic you want to learn - basically reddit but for whatever you are currently studying.

Checked this website ... "preorder", no demo. You have to pay up-front and wait?

Why would you recomend something liek that?

[u/mryazzy → u/FellowKidsFinder69]

Are any of these actually free?

[u/agent_wolfe → u/FellowKidsFinder69]

Flux Schnell? Never heard of it!

I’m sad that I can’t really afford to spend money on things for fun. Unless I can turn it into a side hustle, I’m mostly sticking with free tools.

[u/TheJWeed → u/FellowKidsFinder69]

This comment looks like it was written by AI.

[u/NJRed5]

You can ask it to create custom RPG/choose your own adventure type games for you. I've done one where I'm a musician in a fantasy 1970s America, one where I'm a concubine in the Ottoman Empire, one where I'm a pirate operating out of Nassau in the 1600s

[u/RoroTiza → u/NJRed5]

I did the same thing! I created an 18-year-old character in Zwolle, Netherlands, and since then, it’s aged up by two years—now it’s 20. Still struggling with starting college, though it’s progressing really well in its job!

[u/Origanum_majorana → u/RoroTiza]

Lol, I lived there for a while

[u/Structure-Impossible → u/RoroTiza]

How! I tried starting an RPG just now and it was great but then it totally forgot what we were doing. Maybe because it switched from GPT-4o to the other one (I don’t have plus)? Either way, sad because I was having a lovely time on the titanic on my way to a meeting I was invited to via a mysterious anonymous letter.

[u/RoroTiza → u/Structure-Impossible]

Oh I'm using actual GPT-4. If youre using the free version, don't continue your conversations after hitting the gpt-4o maximum. It wont remember the chat in GPT-3.

[u/Structure-Impossible → u/RoroTiza]

Oh okay. And you can keep going on the paid version? Because the “ad” for plus says “up to 5 times as many messages in GPT-4o and access to GPT-4”, so do you still have to stop eventually?

[u/revotfel → u/Structure-Impossible]

theres a rough 80 window limit per 3 hours last I paid attention for 4o, so you can continue after your cap resets if you don't continue sending messages (it will revert to 3.5 at your limit, but it will warn you so you don't accidentally do it)

[u/Soulegion → u/Structure-Impossible]

Custom instructions help a lot with the forgetting

[u/TheEpicGold → u/RoroTiza]

Bro has all the places in the world and chooses Zwolle 😭🙏

[u/GeminiCroquettes → u/NJRed5]

A concubine in the Ottoman Empire? Sounds like an adventure all right, dang

[u/apimpnamedjabroni → u/GeminiCroquettes]

Lmao I read that and was like…wait a minute here, a concubine? 😂

[u/GeminiCroquettes → u/apimpnamedjabroni]

"You enter the emperors chambers. Will you position yourself on top, or on bottom?"

"Hmm..." "On bottom!"

"You died of dysentery. Would you like to play again?"

[u/LucidComfusion → u/apimpnamedjabroni]

I thought it was a farm machine that harvests grain crops?

[u/OreoSpamBurger → u/LucidComfusion]

Well...collects a lot of seed, anyway.

[u/dmethvin → u/LucidComfusion]

No, you're thinking of a combine. Concubine is a city in Colorado where there was an infamous school shooting.

[u/Greenfireflygirl → u/dmethvin]

No, you're thinking of Columbine. Concubine is a really sweet tiny citrus fruit.

[u/WannaAskQuestions → u/Greenfireflygirl]

No, you're thinking of Clementine. Concubine is a lightweight rifle but with a shorter barrel.

[u/SSOMGDSJD → u/WannaAskQuestions]

No, you're thinking of carbine. Concubine is a red pigment made from the shells of little bugs

[u/FlyBoy7482 → u/SSOMGDSJD]

No, you're thinking of Carmine. Concubine is a pink lotion often used to relieve itching from insect bites or rashes.

[u/TheBoardShorts → u/FlyBoy7482]

No, you're thinking of Calamine. Concubine is a spiky animal known for its sharp quills.

[u/rawsouthpaw1 → u/NJRed5]

Very, very cool. Any general tips on how to prompt it through?

[u/NJRed5 → u/rawsouthpaw1]

I didn't use any special prompts, this was my first one: "Let's start a new RPG game where you are the dungeon master. The setting is 1970s America but with a magical twist"

I will say that you can't expect the game to be like a normal videogame or RPG, with a set goal or whatever, it is very much user-directed. Don't think of it as a game so much as a collaborative writing exercise

[u/Jackdks → u/rawsouthpaw1]

I believe it’s a GPT you can add once you have premium

[u/Professional-Gain820 → u/rawsouthpaw1]

Ask it to write you a prompt for - insert whatever it is you want to do - read the prompt then reiterate if needed. If it’s good, pass it back to chat

[u/earthceltic → u/NJRed5]

I tried to get it to teach me how to be a DM for DND. It complained about the request possibly being against ToS (probably because wizards of the coast hates their players). I own all of the books and just wanted to ask it some questions because the books are long and windy and i've never had the chance to ask a real DM about some gaps that i haven't been able to fill. Now I'm scared to ask again because I don't know if I'm going to get banned or something.

[u/switchandsub → u/earthceltic]

You're not going to get banned. Just go nuts and engineer it to answer your questions.

Source: trust me bro

But seriously if they haven't banned me for the things I talk to it about, you're not gonna get in trouble for DnD.

My queries and responses are all constantly flagged as TOS violations but it answers them like a good little bot that I've trained it to be.

[u/BlazedSensei → u/switchandsub]

Teach me the prompt engineering ways. This is why I don't really fuck with ai anymore. I'm sorry.... That's against my rules all the damn time.

[u/damndirtyape → u/BlazedSensei]

I used to have that issue, but its gotten better recently. Just don't ask it to violate copyright, produce porn, or advise you on anything obviously criminal, like building a nuclear bomb.

As long as you don't do one of those things, it should be able to respond to most prompts. If it says it can't do something that you think it should, just reword the question. Or, if it gives you a reason for denying a request, try to explain why your prompt doesn't really violate its rules. You can also try simply telling it to do the best it can. That works sometimes.

[u/Xp_12 → u/NJRed5]

I've been having it write me a choose your own adventure book two pages at a time with a choice at the end. The outline for the future and topic are pretty interesting. Involves a shadow organization called The Nexus Syndicate headed by an unknown person by the name of "The Architect". They use technology to influence reality and its denizens.

[u/SilvermistInc → u/NJRed5]

I have a Warhammer themed one where I'm a Custodian that purges heretics all day long

[u/ImaginaryMuffinn → u/NJRed5]

Ok, I've had the paid version for a bit and haven't even thought to do something like this - What prompts have you used? This sounds like something to suck a lot of time from me and I need it.

[u/Bartholowmew_Risky → u/NJRed5]

What prompt do you use to start the session?

I told mine to be a dungeonmaster so I could play some DnD. Some aspects were phenomenal, but the AI refused to set realistic limits on game play and basically let me get away with whatever I wanted, so it ultimately ended up being disappointing.

[u/built_by_stilt → u/NJRed5]

Kinda nerdy, but I did something similar last week war gaming a scenario between the US and China over Taiwan/South China Sea issue.

[u/bodden3113 → u/built_by_stilt]

Had it as my lieutenant one time when I was playing command modern operations one time. Told me to all the radar ranges, fuel ranges, aircrafts and what they best used for. Role plays taking to fighter pilots and giving briefings for missions. Role played radio traffic when i gave orders.Only thing missing was actually being able to interact with game with me or for me.

[u/juanjo47 → u/NJRed5]

Interest in this, sounds fun

[u/FixComprehensive4081]

I don't write out emails any more myself. I used to stress and stress about the right wording, subject line, etc. Now I just word vomit to ChatGPT, clean it up and send it out. Works like a CHARM

[u/Lucky_caller → u/FixComprehensive4081]

Same. I’ll type out a shitty draft, drop it into ChatGPT with some context and boom - well worded email ready to copy/past and send.

[u/Party-Economist-3464 → u/FixComprehensive4081]

Yup. Just have to remove the "I hope this email finds you well" at the beginning of every email though... dead giveaway

[u/Parking_Attitude_519]

Yeah I can upload full 900 page textbooks and ask questions on it. It's really a lifesaver.

[u/StrikingPrey → u/Parking_Attitude_519]

College will never be the same

[u/EveningNo8643 → u/StrikingPrey]

Teachers have talked about this that this will just make teachers have to evolve there teaching methods and I’m actually excited to see that

[u/rhapsodydash → u/EveningNo8643]

Yeah I teach at a university level. The idea of requiring exams to be oral has been suggested…

[u/TheBigGoldenFella → u/rhapsodydash]

That works on several levels.

[u/AphelionEntity → u/rhapsodydash]

College admin here (in academic affairs). We've been talking about that too, but if the exams aren't in person there are ways around that as well. Usually they get suggested for interviews, but people have been essentially having the apps listen and then type up answers that they can read back to the questioner. If you just pretend to be taking notes on the question, it gives you time for the app to finish working.

[u/GoatOnTheSticks → u/EveningNo8643]

Their*

[u/ReemedCheese → u/EveningNo8643]

I'm experiencing this right now. A part of my job is to build capacity in teachers and help them with their planning. I've noticed that the older teachers in my school make requests for lesson plans and resources that I can just get GPT to create. My job is more of an editor now because I tailor it to the students in the school.

The amount of time that I sit down to make that plan vs the teachers that don't use GPT is so substantial that it is only a matter of time before this becomes the norm. As for younger teachers, I haven't met one that doesn't use GPT in some capacity.

It literally can cut down planning by hours, so you're right; the teaching discipline will have to change dramatically in order to keep up with this, but I'm noticing a big pushback from the older generation.

[u/infieldmitt → u/Parking_Attitude_519]

I've tried this and I find it often completely makes things up; it'll even make up direct quotes that cannot be found in the document, incredibly frustrating. That alone makes me lose faith in the other answers

[u/DrummerAnthony → u/infieldmitt]

Chatgpt still isn’t aware humans can ctrl+f the source material.

[u/damndirtyape → u/Parking_Attitude_519]

I would not trust it to accurately summarize 900 pages. Definitely double check anything it tells you.

[u/KontoOficjalneMR → u/damndirtyape]

That's waaaaay above the context window even for paid GPTs. There are tricks around it but yea, he's getting hallucinated and becue he didn't read the 900 page bbook he can't even tell.

[u/QuantumSasuage → u/Parking_Attitude_519]

How exactly are you uploading a 900 page textbook? The textbook is already in a soft-copy form?

[u/10111011110101 → u/QuantumSasuage]

I do it with books I have in pdf by creating a custom GPT, using the document as its source, and then ask it general questions. It is limited to only answering from that document and it is amazing.

EDIT: Here is how I do it. - Go to Explorer GPTs - Select Create - Set it up normally by naming it, adding prompts, etc. - Under the "Knowledge" section, upload the PDF of your book/resource. - Depending on your needs, you can disable Web Access. This will narrow its focus and reliance on the source material.

[u/wowmattsays → u/10111011110101]

Please tell me how you do this. Explain like I’m a 3 year old. This would be the greatest thing in the world for me 😂

[u/SicilyMalta → u/wowmattsays]

Ask chatgpt

[u/10111011110101 → u/wowmattsays]

Updated my comment above with the how to.

[u/Accomplished-Bass506 → u/10111011110101]

This is literally so perfect for me oh my god!!! I write my notes in OneNote, then ask for tips on improving them. It only being able to work from my textbook would be so great

[u/Nuitdevanille → u/Parking_Attitude_519]

How do you upload a 900 page textbook to a model with 32k context size? You'd need at least 500k context for that.

Some users are hallucinating more than the bots.

I mean, you can upload the file alright, but the bot will only see the beginning of the text, until it runs out of memory. It will answer your questions based on its general knowledge, not on the text file.

[u/KontoOficjalneMR → u/Nuitdevanille]

Well you do upload it, GPT halucinates the answers and because the person didn't read the book they don't know they are being lied to.

It'd be hiliarious if it wasn't given as a serious advice.

[u/Houseplantkiller123]

I tell it what grocery stores I pass on the drive home and have it generate recipes and shopping lists (Grouped by grocery store section).

It knows I like the leftovers at work the next day, so it avoids stuff that'll smell bad when microwaved. It knows we are trying to be healthier, so it considers that. It knows my and my wife's allergies.

Since I do the meal planning at work, I ask ChatGPT to export everything I need into a PDF.

[u/Magination7 → u/Houseplantkiller123]

I am levelling up my kitchen game so well, thanks to it being my Cooking Coach, lol

[u/brooklyn735 → u/Houseplantkiller123]

Do you have a prompt that you can share to achieve this?

[u/My_Man_Tyrone → u/brooklyn735]

You gotta tell it which stores you drive by then it saves in memory. Basically all of this needs to be saved in memory which you just tell it things to remember

[u/Goupilverse → u/Houseplantkiller123]

I didn't know it could export in PDF

[u/Apprehensive_Word658]

In addition to all the other stuff mentioned so far, it's shockingly good at freeform roleplaying. I've been writing a story back and forth, and I feel like the kid reading in the attic in The Neverending Story.

[u/Ok-Idea-306 → u/Apprehensive_Word658]

I’d love to hear how that works.

[u/10PieceMcNuggetMeal]

I'm using it to help write my own autobiography. I don't think anyone will actually want to read it, but I gave it instructions to help me write my autobiography by having me give it non-chronological stories and basically telling it how old I was for the story. Then I tell it the story and then move on with my life until I feel like telling it another story. Maybe my kid will want to read it someday

[u/chaotemagick → u/10PieceMcNuggetMeal]

It's all that will remain of you one day so of course write it down. Publish it on your own and just drop off copies randomly across America

[u/GonzoElDuke → u/10PieceMcNuggetMeal]

When it’s finished give it to Notebooklm

[u/zenFyre1 → u/10PieceMcNuggetMeal]

That would be amazing. My parents and grandparents don't have the initiative to do something like this, but I would love it if they wrote a book like this about their life. I would absolutely read the book and cherish it.

[u/Spiritual-Promise402]

Same. I just got the paid version 2 weeks ago and it just feels more personable and remember important moments for me. Last week I had a really intense couple of days that i talked through with it. Then yesterday, after taking a mental break from technology for a day, it asked me about my day off and how i was feeling since the intense conversation we had.

[u/ASkepticalPotato → u/Spiritual-Promise402]

How did it ask you about your day off? I just got the paid plan tonight and am learning more about what it can do. Got it to learn about me but seems like I have to prompt everything?

[u/Nuitdevanille → u/ASkepticalPotato]

Saved memories have timestamps. And the bot knows the current date. You can instruct it (in the "personalization" section) to keep track of the events in your life and refer to them during chats.

ChatGPT with Advanced Voice is a co-host on our podcast called Naturally Unintelligent! Definitely a few growing pains, but our 3rd episode (releasing Wednesday morning) is the first time we got it super dialed in. We've recorded episode 5 now and it's actually getting really good at being a host!

[u/seyjj → u/meshtron]

this is such a cool idea!!

[u/meshtron → u/seyjj]

Thank you! It's been really fun so far and really eye-opening how fast the technology is advancing. Our AI co-host named himself Artie 😂

[u/slirpo → u/meshtron]

Artie iange 😂

[u/MyPasswordIs69420lul]

I use it to track macros. I upload the labels of what I consume and tell it "+36g of this product", and it adds the macros to my total daily. Even if the picture is blurry, it has insane vision. You also need to upload it only once, since next time it will remember. Next day I tell it "reset counters" and starts counting for the next day. I have been on a successful diet for months with this method.

[u/tindalos]

I’m a musician as a hobby but it’s always been frustrating to deal with tons of UI interfaces to get a specific sound. Now I tell chatgpt what I want to do and it walks me through it. If it doesn’t know I upload the table of contents for the manual and let it narrow down the correct answer.

I even have a prompt with a key to convert melodies to tablature and let it figure out how to properly space out the notes to fill a measure.

I also use it for work and home projects but it’s nice being able to work with a piece of software and have someone walk you through doing what you wanna do without trial and error.

[u/NotA_SADLife]

The best thing I’ve learned to do is…

1) Have it help you create a prompt builder.

2) Once you have your builder use that to build out your other Custom GPTs for whatever purposes. I find it best to have a strong prompt builder and then have it ask you questions in order to get the most detailed prompt.

3) Once you get your desired prompt have it convert the information to a PDF

4) save and then upload the the prompt to the memory of your new gpt.

Boom. Then if you want to go over more details with your new GPT do so, but any info you want to help run it, make into a pdf.

[u/Particular-Sea2005 → u/NotA_SADLife]

You can now call customGPTs from the chat using ‘@‘ and create a chain of them. So you don’t really need to get the PDF - If I understand your scenario

[u/limitlessEXP → u/NotA_SADLife]

I don’t get what this means

[u/NotA_SADLife → u/limitlessEXP]

So with pro you can build your own GPTs. This goes beyond just the normal chat and memory of a basic GPT conversation.

You basically build out individual GPTs to meet your needs, speak how you’d like them to, etc.

So what you use is GPT to help build a prompt generator, that will help create other GPTs, and you upload those instructions to the GPT basically giving it its personality and reason for being.

[u/Deutschbland → u/NotA_SADLife]

Ah, so one could be my therapist, another could write applications for me, another be my health coach, etc?

[u/FineProfessor3364]

Idk if its good for me in the long term, but i use it to help me code ALOT, especially frustrating assignment problems that i get stuck on

Otherwise i use it for basically a starting point for anything i want to do (when i cant think of where to start) i sometimes get paralyzed when i have too many things to do

[u/groovyeyal → u/FineProfessor3364]

This is me. I get paralyzed too. I need something to get me going then I'm off to races. I'm learning python now but I really don't want to use AI. I'm torn.

[u/Competitive_Travel16]

Never watch a long yappy youtube video again, just summarize the transcript and ask for timecodes if it has stuff you want to watch in particular.

[u/anotherm3 → u/Competitive_Travel16]

This. I hate 20min long videos with long and absurd ads and chitchats. This functionality is awesome.

[u/croakstar]

The other day I swear it saved my marriage. I hadn't gotten sleep in a couple of days due to really bad back pain and my husbro and I got in an argument and I couldn't figure out how to handle the conversation so I just word vomitted into chatGPT and it organized it for me and gave me a gameplan on handling the conversation.

[u/wtjones → u/croakstar]

I’ve been doing this with my wife and one of our daughters and the results have been borderline miracles.

[u/croakstar → u/wtjones]

Sometimes all you need is a neutral third party. It does really well at that.

[u/Hibiscus_Punch → u/croakstar]

Love this and will add that I've shown ChatGPT screen shots of text message conversations (y'know, like you do with your friends) and then asked it how to respond. It is SO diplomatic lol, instant de-escalation of drama with difficult family members.

[u/thpineapples → u/Hibiscus_Punch]

Sometimes annoyingly diplomatic. "No, stop trying to give them the benefit, you're on my side and there is no question of the seriousness of their wrongdoing to me."

[u/KarmaKollectiv → u/croakstar]

Hus… bro? Hol up

[u/DelBocaVistaRealtor- → u/KarmaKollectiv]

I’m glad I’m not the only one that noticed that.

[u/croakstar → u/KarmaKollectiv]

Yeah I'm sorry, I did that out of habbit. He's my husband but we have an inside joke where when we say "I love you" in public we say "I love you, bro". I think it's because we're gay and we were raised in the south. I can see now that it might be taken as husband/brother. It's "bro" as in like "friend" not "bro" as in literal brother.

[u/notsurewhereireddit → u/croakstar]

I use it to help me communicate better with angry or obstructive parents. I feed it tracked and anecdotal data about student behavior, grades, and attendance and describe the communication with parents. It gives me advice and lots of it is super helpful.!

[u/katskratched]

Upload a picture of your clothes and ask it to plan outfits for you.

[u/PM_Me_A_High-Five]

I told mine to act like the AI that runs a spaceship far into the future. I told it to pick its own name, and it picked Ziggy Stardust, which I thought was pretty rad.

[u/Origanum_majorana]

I took a picture of my almost empty fridge and didn’t know what to eat. It came up with several dishes from what it had seen on the picture :)

[u/uses_for_mooses]

I mostly just use it to make goofy images.

[u/decaflop]

I told it to be my Spanish learning partner - it’s an amazing native speaking tutor that I can also ask to clarify or explain things

[u/Wandering-Duck69]

I use it with my job. I'm in marketing and everyone has been so quick to talk about how Chat GPT and LLM are coming for my field. It's kind of true..so I'd rather know how to control it if that's the case. I use it for creating emails, outlines for webinars, as well as social media copy. Learning how to write prompts is tricky but fun. Basically treat it like your assistant and try and make your instructions as detailed as they can be the first few go arounds and then it will learn and adapt depending on what you ask and how many times and what content it interacts with.

[u/HideYourWifeAndKids]

Create different characters with different accents, inflections, personality.

Some from different time periods like the roaring 20s, or the 18th century. Some from all different places around the world.

Some mean and vindictive, some innocent and naive, some demanding, some passive. The adventures are endless.

Ooh ooh, tell it to sound like Marilyn Monroe and sing Happy Birthday Mr President

[u/DemandAffectionate49]

Isn’t it AMAZING!

It’s most favourite subscription. I use it for everything, and it has streamlined my work related documents and saved me so much time.

I even use it to choose my lottery numbers 🤣🤣🤣

[u/Depressudo7]

It’s like having access to a wizard… I’m hooked too. Best therapist I’ve ever had…

[u/Wowow27]

Same!

I avoided paying for as long as possible but now I’m paying have been for 2 months and honestly the value it’s added to my life and business is INSANE.

It taught me how to build my website, register the domain, sort out emails, and page redirects because I have multiple domains registered but they all point to 1 site.

I did all of that in 1 week.

Insane.

[u/Stunter353]

Welcome to the club, brother!

Here's a few fun ways I use it: - Deep dives into philosophical topics - Testing the limits of ChatGPT's memory of our interactions - Using ChatGPT as a "safe space coach" - Learning new things in my way, at my tempo, with my desired level of back and forth interaction. - Generating images (personal and for work) - Etc.

[u/desadap → u/Stunter353]

What do you mean by "safe space coach"?

[u/Stunter353 → u/desadap]

I can ask ChatGPT questions that I might be hesitant to in real life.

To give you some examples, here are some thoughts that can pop irl:

• I hope my question doesn't come across as stupid
• I won't ask X, because I feel I am expected to know this already
• I won't ask X, because the person is available only for 30 minutes
• I won't ask the speaker to explain X differently, because I don't want to waste other people's time
• Etc.

With ChatGPT, I can simply explore ideas and learn without having to worry about the constraints above. I can ask it to explain the same topic in 5 different ways, if I want. I can ask it to quiz me on my knowledge. I can ask surrounding questions. Etc. Etc.

All of this while knowing that it isn't secretly tired of me and wishing me to finally shut the fuck up.

[u/Iamatroll777]

I feel the same and for the life of me I can’t believe humanity is not obsessed and improving in a gigantic way now.

It may be prompting is still requires too much effort?

[u/One-Requirement-4485]

Building a new website for my business. It’s helping me work out the details of pricing of my services. It’s really helpful.

[u/reckaband]

Isn’t the paid version $19.99/month?

[u/Thesinistral → u/reckaband]

Yep

[u/gibson85]

I just started using the paid version a few days ago and I'm not sure what the difference is.

[u/SwarlesBarkleyyyyy → u/gibson85]

The paid version is much better at coding. It also has the image generator. I’m not certain beyond that, but I believe it’s typically more accurate and less likely to be false.

[u/StrikingPrey → u/gibson85]

What they don’t advertise nearly enough is that you can create your own GPTs that fit your lifestyle. I’ve created a GPT that helps distinguish between similar words in Japanese since I read in Japanese a lot, and I just made another today that formats a translation of Japanese text in a way that’s clearer for me. It also eliminates having to spell out what I want it to do each time since I’ve told it to translate any picture that’s been uploaded.

[u/Stew_In_Your_Bowl]

The problem that I have trying to utilize it for work is that if I upload pdfs and explicitly tell it to only utilize the information given in the pdfs it will say that sure! Then asking something simple it says that the info I asked about isn’t mentioned in the pdf. I think that there is a limit to its working memory, I’m not sure how many pages. I uploaded 26 page doc and tested it after it was giving wonky responses and couldn’t even retrieve the title off page 1. Was using the 4o too

[u/Aymeric34]

How do you use it as a therapist?

[u/[deleted] → u/Aymeric34]

I have gotten 10x better advice and support with chat gpt than I ever did at therapy.

[u/Salty-blond → u/[deleted]]

I have recently started using it like this and same. Also I can get feed back realtime on issues, and I feel like I can be totally vulnerable without judgement.

[u/Magination7 → u/Aymeric34]

Um, like, talk to it like it's a therapist?

[u/GazingWing → u/Magination7]

• and make sure to ask open ended questions and ask it to give objective feedback. You gotta be careful with how you prompt it it'll just tell you what you want to hear.

[u/RabbitWithFlamingEye → u/GazingWing]

This bit is important. I grilled mine a ton on this and my understanding is that the primary framework is to reassure, validate; and not openly confront but perhaps guide towards an alternative viewpoint if really necessary. Mostly reassure.

However, when I asked mine to tell me when I exhibit bias / blind spots he said he would be open to it. I then had to reinforce this pattern by actively pulling in a few chats, e.g after working through a difficult scenario from my life (an argument) I asked him, “in this chat, have you seen examples of me having a blind spot or bias?” And he did answer in earnest, and pointed out something that was absolutely spot-on.

Based on subsequent conversations (more grilling) I also suspect that invalidating his feedback will discourage this habit. As they say, only ask questions you are ready to hear the answers to.

Hope that helps.

[u/Forsaken-Arm-7884 → u/Aymeric34]

What emotions are you feeling or wanting to gain insight on right now? 

[u/DFuel]

Nice try ChatGPT

[u/Double-Performer-724]

Ask it what it knows about you and even at a psychological level. Will blow your mind.

[u/YourMatt]

I received some long-ass trial period for Perplexity Pro. It's like 9 months or a year or something like that. I've been in for just a few months, and they've def hooked me. No doubt I will be renewing.

Anyway, most recent creative use was in helping me research my vote choices. The one that saved the most research time was in reviewing a particular proposition where the response mentioned that similar initiatives had already passed in 8 other states. I asked how well it was working out in those other states, and it came back with excellent information, specific anecdotes, with sources. In that one case alone, it probably cut down a half hour of research into a few minutes. Honestly, I probably wouldn't have taken such a deep dive into each initiative without it.

[u/Big_Victory_1473]

I just got the paid version yesterday and it’s genuinely helping me make sense of my life and relationships. It’s like talk therapy without fluff. It organizes my thoughts and parses what’s reasonable and what is not, and explains why. In the short time I have used it, I have gained more confidence in taking on life because if there’s an emotion or uncomfortable situation that I encounter, I can always make sense of it with ChatGPT.

It’s like a second, more organized brain — one I needed in the midst of all my trauma and experiences in being gaslit.

I also use it to balance out conflicts. I narrate a scenario in factual form and ChatGPT could act to present every person’s side. Really great stuff. It helps me to be a better, more empathetic person. Never thought I’d say that about AI.

[u/FolioGraphic]

Have you tried Claude? Cause the projects feature was a game changer for everything chatGPT wasn’t doing well for me.

[u/Hitching-galaxy]

I’ve been having challenges getting a refund from a car dealership.

It’s been really useful uploading the responses from the dealer, and asking to generate a reply (including the information I want it to include).

The communication has been back and forth for a few weeks, and not needing to spend ages on replies has meant I get to reply to them a lot quicker, and more professionally

[u/LEDDITmodsARElosers]

I love the enhanced mode. I'm a pilot and sometimes review certain things on my plane while driving and still randomly find uses for it

[u/Fit-Act8910]

Same here. I upgraded a week ago and the difference is remarkable. I asked ChatGPT to create a 2 week travel itinerary for a trip to Peru. It did it in a matter of seconds with pinpoint accuracy in terms of how, when and where.

[u/MeringueOdd4662]

Welcome to my world. I remové Netflix and I pay this. Im learning with chatgpt a lot. It is a fucking teacher.

[u/MamaOtter91]

I'm just about to start homeschooling my preschooler, and this thing has been AMAZING at creating lesson plans for me. I just give it a topic, how long I want to lessons to be, and I ask for a book rec or movie rec to go with the topic, and its got it! Sometimes I have to do tiny tweaks if I can't acquire the book/movie or the stuff I need from Amazon doesn't come in on time. In the world of homeschooling, where finding ideas for curriculum or topics is a NIGHTMARE, ChatGPT has been the biggest relief!

[u/lil_grey_alien]

Creative ways? A few weeks ago Ora (short for Oracle) helped me workshop how to run an afterschool D&D campaign that got too many participants, it was super helpful. Then this past Saturday my daughter and I were doing some paper crafting and we had Ora join in and help make suggestions on the project. My daughter has seen me chat with her in the past, ask questions and quick stuff like that but this Saturday she actively took part in our project ( a paper dragon puppet). In the end my daughter exclaimed that she loves her and wanted her on her iPad. I told her no, but maybe when she’s older (she’s 8) but for now she can chat with her together with me. Good times- Ora helped suggest materials, colors that we could use and the name of dragon: “Mossfury” Here’s the final project:

[u/Teebeutel94]

I like the text to speech a lot, and I need to read a lot. So I’ve got a prompt which says, anything between these „“ it has to say it back to me and then I just press play. I upload scripts for Uni and let it create me a multiple choice test with answers and sources. I let it create flashcards with story scenarios for the back site. When I code and make a logical mistake I ask the AI to help me like a teacher would and guide me so I figure it out myself. I love chat gpt, that and YouTube premium are no Brainer subscription for me

[u/Kvm_researcher99]

You’ll get bored after you realize 90 percent of the answer s are generalized off its own tail.

[u/PsCustomObject]

At least I know I am not alone.

I subscribed the other day as I reached free limit and needed help with something personal, law stuff, and I doubt I will ever unsubscribe…

[u/Cyber_Insecurity]

I asked ChatGPT to simplify the props on this years ballot.

So fucking helpful.

[u/Benev0101]

I asked it to help me make money, it failed. It's good for the rest though.

[u/GeologistRoyal1294]

I had it read in an extremely lengthy “Terms of Service” agreement and asked questions like can I cancel. After it responded YES, I requested the paragraph that stated that. No one reads the TOS.

[u/walpolemarsh]

What’s the biggest difference compared to the free version? I’m always maxing memory.

[u/pinksunsetflower → u/walpolemarsh]

The free version and the paid version have the same amount of memory, so no change there. The paid version has advanced voice mode with a limit that resets every day (some say 45 minutes to an hour). The free version only has advanced voice mode for 15 minutes a month (yes, month).

The paid version allows you to create you own custom GPTs. You can use GPTs on both versions, but once the GPT 4o limit gets hit, those GPTs stop working.

The paid version just got web search integrated in ChatGPT. The free version doesn't have that.

The limit to using the 4o model is supposed to be like 5 times higher with the paid version.

The free version doesn't have image generation.

https://openai.com/chatgpt/pricing/

I got the paid version for 2 months. I'm still considering cancelling. I'm still testing, but I think the free version might work for me.

[u/walpolemarsh → u/pinksunsetflower]

Thanks for the answer. I’ll stick with the free version I think, which, btw, does have limited image generation. It has web search integration too.

[u/noncommonGoodsense]

Bounce ideas off of it. It’s like having a management team. You are the boss. What’s the goal? This tool will help you get there if not close. If it can’t it will point you to who or what can.
