    For fun, I applied for a gig at @OpenAI because… why not? I use #ChatGPT every day. I had to submit a resume. I haven’t done that in years. So I asked ChatGPT to create a resume “for business reporter Jane Wells.” I used 90% of it. Saved a lot of time.

    I've used ChatGPT every day for two years, and last night I realized I've been using it like a search bar the whole time. I put on a "ChatGPT for beginners" tutorial from AI Foundations as background noise. I figured I'd skim it, because obviously I already know this stuff. Twe…

    Quick tip : Export your chat / email chain / conversation into chatgpt and ask it to spot the recipient’s weak points or analyse them to give you predictable insights. Make sure to do this only if the chat isn’t under NDA or anything confidential. How did I use this? Used…

  • It's insane how luddite I used to be about ChatGPT and how often I use it now and how it's made my life a lot easier. Not that I was against using AI, but I never saw the point. The turning point was when I realised I can ask specific questions or get updated answers.
