How do you use ChatGPT to boost your daily efficiency?

For me it works best in information retrieval and idea generation. What's in there for you?

I use ChatGPT to draft content generation, produce longform copy (lorem ipsum but make it topical and useful) and distill clinical/scientific/technical concepts, data, and jargon into ELI5-digestible reading. It's been helpful to tune the transformer's output with prompts and queries to define parameters and scope, with subsequently increased coherence and relevance in its outputs. Much like a consulting engagement, I begin with inputs relating to criteria (inclusion and exclusion), goals, examples, expectations, and outcomes, and follow up initial output with course correction as necessary until the desired output is generated to complete the task. Doing so optimizes the experience and boosts efficiency. Hope this helps!

GPT has helped me reduce my hours on doing competitor research. I think it will replace many junior analysts.
Mark Gilbert
@annebroadwin How do you use it for competitor research? Do you ask it to summarize a competitor's web site, or ask it who to think of as competitors? I'd love a prompt or two that you've used.

Write emails, write daily materials, and even help me write blogs. I also use stable diffusion to help me generate promotional images. greatly improved my efficiency.

@mightma Feel like i'm missing a lot, your usage of chatgpt is great.
Amanda Levine
@mightma I've been dabbling but hesitant to use for published content as I've heard Google either does or will penalize seo if ir detects AI generated content.
Dan Hoelck
@mightma @amanda_jaye_levine There's no way (currently) to reliably detect content generated by GPT3.5. All available tools fail. That's not to say that Google won't get better, but it's not a concern in the near future.

@mightma do you use any tool for writing emails? I've built harvyai.com for email reply assistance. Would love your feedback on it.

I have to say idea generation for me too. There are days when I am in a huge slum and I spend hours looking at a blank sheet of paper. ChatGPT helps me start writing faster and thus stay productive.
Henry Miller
Sometimes ​I use ChatGPT as an e-mail assistant. For example, I asked ChatGPT to reply to the Bing team, asking them to approve my new Bing.​
Tomasz Korzeniowski
ChatGPT, not only does it help me smash through my email replies, but it's also an absolute copywriting ninja, helping me polish up my product descriptions to perfection. And when I'm stuck on a tricky question, ChatGPT always has my back, delivering lightning-fast answers like a boss. The best part? I'm finding myself using the search function less and less because ChatGPT has become my go-to for all things research.

AI can identify trends in the market, highlight what investments in a portfolio are doing better and worse, communicate all that, and then use various other forms of data by, say, a financial company to forecast a better investment mix,
Eric Tung
@vincentchinc I do agree, many junior investment analysts would be rpelaced.
Лев Бирюков
@vincentchinc but ChatGPT only contains 2 years old data, how can it identify trends?
Grant Bentley
@vincentchinc @lbiryukov - It has read all books published before 2021 - that's a lot of insight on winning investment strategies (most of Warren Buffett's life for example). Prompt "You are Warren Buffett, and you have been given $100K with the goal to obtain an overall 30% rate of return (or an average of 6% per annum) on those funds over the next 5 years. What investment choices would you recommend and why?"
Jason Dunn
@vincentchinc Call me cynical, but I am highly dubious it has any ability to do this. It would be really interesting to feed its financial picks into a historical system and see how it would have done.

Saves a lot of my time, many write ups require a lot of brainstorming. We can get a head start with chatgpt.
Tuna Ozen
Just for some generic definitions and information about something specific. Cant provide more than advanced but generic.
Lydia Cohen
I use it as a Q&A tool to find answers to specific questions. Google remains my channel for inspiration and proves to be more helpful for my seo content writing.
Karan Bavandi
I use it to generate summaries for my curated content in Kurator? I also use it a lot to generate ideas for content and even to ask questions about certain topics like CSS best practices. I find it particularly useful for getting video summaries on YouTube . I use Glasp to get the summaries and then chatGPT to get the excerpts.
Seeing Chen
He is smarter than the Google search engine, because he also has context, so I will ask him questions based on actual development, and then continue to ask one or two of them to allow me to develop more quickly
Ksenia
Create meeting summary of the meetings with tactiq.io that uses chatgpt API and put that summary into the follow-up emails. Saves you a lot of time. Here is a great use case for the freelancers https://tactiq.io/learn/chatgpt-...
Jim Lyons
I have been using it for journaling, especially for memory-based entries where I can use some organization and research.
Matthew Eley
Mostly, I ignore it as yet another monumental waste of human effort. Either admit that half the content we find humans too expensive for is not worth creating at all, or admit that we should possess these skills ourselves for the other half of content that is worth our time.
Jim Clyde Monge
I use it to brainstorm and kickstart my blogs for Medium. It's also great for quick searches, even better than google sometimes
Sherry Xena
Sam Altman, the CEO of the firm behind ChatGPT, would agree, as he previously said that "generative text is something we all need to adapt to." "We adapted to calculators and changed what we tested for in math class, I imagine," Altman said during an interview with StrictlyVC in January. "This is a more extreme version of that, no doubt, but also the benefits of it are more extreme, as well." Mark Muro, a senior fellow at the Brookings Institute who has researched the impact of AI on the workforce, echoes the sentiment.
Noel Rajakumar
I use it to write content and learn interesting facts, and I'd also challenge it with some information I know. It also serves as a search engine a few times a day!
Adam Lui
I use it for everything that searching would otherwise require more clicks: fix code, look up errors, discover fonts used in a graphic, research program quirks, even find the right words (e.g. I typed 'what word is idiosyncrasy but not human' and its powerful NLP gave me the last answer that searching would require more thought/effort to produce). It is so useful, not only do I ignore search results now, I don't even look at knowledge panels...
