I'm not onboard the AI hype train (see my comment history). But I do use ChatGPT on occasion as a sort of specialized/niche/synthesizing search engine. For example: - English is not my native language, and prepositions give me constant trouble. I've used ChatGPT to check whether a turn of phrase is idiomatic, if I'm using the right preoposition, etc. - ffmpeg command lines! "I have a MOV file that I want to resize to 720p, taking the audio track from this external MP3 file, and putting the resulting streams in a MP4 container". It gives me the command line, works most of the time. Same for some esoteric bash loop constructs. - High-level overview of things. "How does my short film become Oscars-eligible?" It tells me things. I ask follow-up questions on the original answer. - Detailed facts. "Explain why a wide-open lens has a shallower depth of field than if I stop it down". Basically I don't trust it to generate new ideas, but it seems to be OK at answering specific questions about facts that can be synthesized from existing online sources. I'm sure these kind of questions have been asked online a million times, so I expect it to get the answers (posted by a human) and customize them to my specific use case.
