I find it helpful in working with technology.
I have been experimenting with generating powershell scripts using chatgpt, and aside from a few syntax errors or localization, the scripts are a great starting point.
Instead of writing the whole script. I can have ChatGPT write it, then I just have to clean it up, address any errors and localize.
- sdenton4 3y agoYeah, exactly this. Paragraphs of condensed scientific text after six rounds of collaborator revisions are typically a mess - ChatGPT is great for suggesting a more readable alternative, and then further crafting into something actually-good. I think a lot of the hand-wringing neglects that there's a range of ways to use LLMs. Text-refactor is obviously perfectly ethical, unless you're gunning for the Butlerian Jihad, no worse than the grammar checker in Word.
- the_af 3y ago> I think a lot of the hand-wringing neglects that there's a range of ways to use LLMs. You and the comment you replied to seem to be making an argument about something neither my own comment nor TFA said. Nobody is claiming LLMs or ChatGPT aren't useful. The argument is about using it to write parts of research papers without disclosing this usage. Nobody mentioned using ChatGPT to write code.
- the_af 3y agoDo note TFA is about using ChatGPT to write parts of research papers without disclosure. Nothing to do with using it to write code. Hence my closing line, "[in the context of writing research papers] a valid use of AI would be as a better Google Translate [for non-native English speakers]."
