I'd built a bot to use ChatGPT from Telegram (this was before the ChatGPT API), and currently building a tool to help make writing easier (https://www.penpersona.com https://www.penpersona.com). This is the API.
Apart from that, it's pretty much replaced 80% of my search engine usage, I can ask it to collate reviews for a product from reddit and other sites, get the critical reception of a book, etc. You don't have to go and read long posts and articles, have GPT do it for you. There's many other use cases like this. For the second part, I'm using a UI called Typing Mind (which also works with the API).

- Karunamon 3y agoAs opposed to raw information surfaced by the search engine, which we all know is perfectly reliable, unbiased, and up to date? That aside, this particular admonishment was worn out a couple of months after ChatGPT was released. It does not need to be repeated every time someone mentions doing something interesting with an LLM.

I have integrated a search engine plugin and a web browsing plugin, which means I don't have to do the search, for example I can ask it to compare the battery life of 3 phones, it'll do 3 searches, might open couple of reddit threads too, then give me the info that I need. It's miles ahead of the current experience with search engines.
