I don't think the following are world-changing use cases, but I would absolutely pay for ChatGPT right now. I am using it for the following:
- Generate boilerplate code. It won't be exactly what I need, but often I want to get a rough sense of how to use a specific library/tool that I haven't used in a long time. For example, I always forget bash syntax. I can adjust the details myself, but I don't want to spend tens of minutes browsing different sites and searching through code examples.
- Proofread writing for my blog and emails and give suggestions for making it flow better or sound nicer
- Serve as an entrypoint for research. Questions like "Give me 5 bullet point arguments both in favor of and against topic X" usually surfaces something that I hadn't thought of. I can then use these to Google for more specific details and sources.
ChatGPT does a good enough job at these that it would be worth paying a subscription for. The amazing thing is that I would never have considered the above use cases to be covered by a single tool because they seem so disparate. I probably would not pay for a tool that does one of these. But something that does these and possibly more that I haven't thought of? Absolutely.
And yes, these are all things that a human can do, but they can't do it within a second for less than a cent (extrapolating current OpenAI model pricing).
- omniscient_oce 4y agoThese are basically the exact same use-cases I was thinking of too. This stuff is insane (in a good way)
- gremlinsinc 4y agolast night I asked it for biz ideas it started out extremely broad but I just copied and pasted a bullet point and it gave me 5 more, more narrowed down, and kept going deeper and deeper, pretty amazing. I could see myself talking to this as an extension of my inner monologue, could you imagine having this as an implant technology that interfaces with your brain?
