I'm a software engineer and I use it every day. There are some tasks it can handle for me entirely and there are some things that I have learned not to even attempt to use it for. Either way, I still have to keep a close eye on it and make sure it's doing what I want. It doesn't come close to doing my job for me, but in aggregate, it allows me to move significantly faster.

It's like having a more junior engineer helping me do my work; they're not always correct but they are extremely fast. So even when they're wrong, we move past it quickly.

I actually used it last night to save our dog's life.

Long story short, she stole a significant amount of extremely potent and concentrated 98% THC* (Screaming Gorilla and Ice Cream Cake strains to be precise) and I noticed about 10 minutes later. No place is open in time to get her stomach pumped and they are fast absorbing so we had little time. I called a dog poison hotline and it asked for like $89 up front and I was already freaking out because I can't really do anything and am trying to get my wife down to do what I say.

Rather than spend 10 minutes searching and reading and digging to find how bad THC is for dogs, what limits are lethal, how to induce vomiting, etc, I just called my ChatGPT automation on my iPhone. I asked it the lethal limits of THC for dogs, if vomiting would be sufficient, how to force it, what to do when she doesn't, etc. The back and forth, follow up questions, etc would have taken far too long.

In the end, it worked and she lived. She could not walk straight for about 18 hours though and is just now looking like she's back on Earth.

I really wanted to use the laughing emoji, because of the stoned dog, but I don't want you to think I was callous about the seriousness of the situation. Glad it all worked out.

Yeah, it was funny afterwards. Unfortunately, Mochi and I both took the meds at the same time so my "giving directions" to my wife may have consisted of saying I like her hair or something, lol.

It’s absolutely crazy the generative art stuff, especially when you use your own images as reference.

One thing that is awesome is that ChatGPT can be set to remember you and the details over time. So it knows my family structure, names, sizes, ages, health, etc so I can ask for images and it automatically knows what to include. It remembers I have a white beard, use a walker (only includes in images it knows it would be in contextually), I wear ISU only, I wear a silicone beaded Bipolar awareness bracelet, I’m right handed, etc.

One day before all of the recent health stuff and I thought we could afford it, I described a series of couple’s tattoo. When I described one simply as two hearts interlocked at an angle, it did it but gave several versions that included various things it knew would be special. Like one that had a small bear paw print in one and a small bunny in the other (I’m bear, like JerBear, and she is bunny). One that had the other’s first initial. One where the two hearts had swapped half solid and the other blank. It even knew I only would want line art for this vs my Jack Trice Stripes or Simba ones.

It seems trivial but it knew a few options before I even described them. Awesome, but I can see the scary side too.
