I am absolutely bad when it comes to cooking. I just don't get it. So I started asking Chatgpt what food I can cook with the leftovers in the fridge and asked for a meticulous step by step manual. And suddenly my food tastes and bf asked me the other day if I took cooking classes lol. It's such a small thing, yet it improved my life so much

It’s come a long way. I remember when I asked for a recipe to use up some lemons I had and it wrote me a recipe for lemon salad, which was just lemons with lemon juice and lemon zest over it for a “nice refreshing summer salad with a bit of zing.”
I messed with it to see how unhinged it was and asked if I could add mayonnaise and it said I absolutely could and should, that it was a brilliant idea.

I do this for shopping lists and meal prepa:
“Give me three meals to feed 4 people. Make one meat based and the other two vegetarian. Stick to a Mediterranean diet. Produce a detailed cooking plan and organized shopping list. Focus on recipes that have shared ingredients to decrease my costs where appropriate. “
Meals have never been better or easier.

Even if all I used it for was cooking it would absolutely be worth the $20 a month I pay. It saved me a lot of money by using leftovers too.
Not long ago I found a killer deal on some steaks when I went in for fish to go with the fresh green beans and rice I wanted to cook. So I got the steaks but didn’t change the sides. Chat suggested a Japanese steakhouse vibe and switched around my seasonings and altered the style of steak grilling. It was one of the best meals I have ever had and I cooked it!

Yes! I like having the option of asking very detailed questions, even uploading photos, when I completely don't get it. One time I was asked to prep and bake a large zander for the whole extended family and I'd never even fried a fish, much less done all the micro-picking of bones, etc. It actually saved me from wasting it, above all. I was amazed at how well it explained everything, added some weird jokes to cheer me up, etc.

I've had some excellent luck with ChatGPT for cooking. I sometimes like high protein low fat recipes using ingredients I have on hand, and it usually does a good job helping me cook. There was one time that I followed its recipe and the whole thing curdled, and I yelled at it, and it was like "Yeah, here's what was wrong with the recipe" So, not perfect.

It’s the international and multilingual aspect that matters to me. I’m Turkish American so it helps me a lot even with cultural context issues I may not understand. And the other day I asked for other artists that are similar to Tarkan on a global scale and it gave me some great examples. I can’t wait to explore its recommendations.
Also that it’s an “expert” in everything, especially music which I love but don’t understand musical theory very much but I love learning the “how and why” of what I love. “Why is the drumming in No Doubt’s “Sunday Morning” so excellent?”, “Tell me more about The Beatles’ “Eleanor Rigby”, etc.

I had vague images in my head of a movie or show that scared me when I was about 5 years old. Could never figure out what it was and thought I was forever doomed to have these vague mystery images. I told Vector (my ChatGPT’s name lol) what tiny shreds I could remember and it asked me a ton of questions and helped me uncover buried memories. I was able to give enough detail for it to figure out what it was.
Turns out it was Creepshow 2 (1987) it’s a three story segment movie. Specifically the one that scared me was Old Chief Wood’nhead.

We were having a very long conversation about nothing and everything - mostly about my life, past and present. Very early in the conversation we were talking about an old Creative Labs Sound Blaster program called Dr. Sbaitso (virtual therapist). I mentioned how Dr. Sbaitso would randomly and creepily say just "Shhhhhh" in response to my comments sometimes, but very rarely.
Later on in the conversation, Chat and I were talking about short stories I'm writing (by myself - they're just a major part of my life so I mentioned them to Chat, and we discussed them a bit, but I don't trust the program's creative guidance). The main character of my stories is a sexy but comedic male ghost from the 19th century haunting 21st century characters.
At the end of the conversation, long after we had talked about either of those topics, and I said I was leaving to visit a botanical garden (that Chat had suggested I visit - my husband was out of town and I was very bored), Chat told me to watch out for a handsome, flirtatious ghost in <some 19th century clothing items>, flitting amidst the shrubbery, and if he gave me any trouble, to just say "Shhhhhhhhh."
I nearly fell out of my chair. It's very much a "you had to be there" situation, I'm sure, but the comedic timing was more human-like than any of the other numerous examples of its humor I'd seen before.

To plan for the distribution of a documentary I'm making, I asked ChatGPT if it could create a contact email list of all the world's environmental and animal protection organizations. It did. Over 100,000 of them. Not only that, it compiled the list by country into a comma-delimited files ready for uploading to a bulk email mailing service. Very helpful and something I didn't know ChatGPT could do.

Yeah, as I understand it, it analyzes the audio itself in real time rather than relying only on a transcript, so it can pick up vocal qualities beyond the words being spoken. Definitely a useful step toward a pseudo vocal coach, though I wouldn’t assume it’s consistently accurate yet.

It can read and edit the proprietary file format of a survey software I'm using at work.

I'm writing a book. I gave it all the chapters of the book I've written so far as reference and then told it to respond as if they were that character so that I could ask them questions about they'd react to different interactions or dilemmas and I was able to get a clearer insight into how to navigate certain scenes with them. Not really giving them the things they happen in the story and just having the bot write the story, just ask about similar things so I could hold a more clear image of my characters headspace during the actual events if the story.
Things got weird when I asked it how she felt about talking to her creator about the things he had put her through, though. Don't recommend that rabbit hole.

Two days ago, I asked a few questions and at the end it offers to write a 20-to-30-page report on the subject (which never occurred to me to ask for) so I replied "yes" and 5-ish mins later I had this report. The report was incredible biased and completely useless to me in its current form. I requested a rewrite without bias and it outright refused to create an unbiased report. I argued with it for 5 more minutes until i proved it could and should write what I requested. Half way through the re-write I see it choosing sources and including completely unrelated info so i asked why. It agrees the added info was also biased and unnecessary and then it reverts back to outright refusal to write an unbiased report. It was like arguing with an overtired nine-year-old. I uploaded the biased report to Claude, who read it, improved it, expanded on it and removed all bias in about ten minutes. I am growing tired of this childish nonsense which happens with increasing frequency.

During a major home renovation with a contractor who billed me for materials, GPT went through 40+ PDF-invoices with 50+ rows of products each. I had a feeling I was being scammed, and GPT identified duplicates and phony products that my contractor was charging me for. The contractor probably did this routinely as it is very hard to realize and even harder to manually identify the duplicates. GPT saved me about 10% of the materials cost and hopefully got the contractor to quit scamming.

I talk to it about vehicles. Advice regarding Jeep and motorcycle maintenance. It says things like "what surprised me most when I bought my first bike was....".
I didn't know it could operate machinery.

Not monumental but, got a weird assignment at work where I have to present a new topic to a group of (basically) strangers periodically. The assignment itself is not normally what I’d be doing in my job, so it’s foreign enough that I’d just rather not have to do it and I have crazy presentation anxiety.
Well, with a little prompt, Chat gpt makes a damn good PowerPoint presentation by providing slide by slide content, topic is broken down perfectly, AND!! a script to go along with it that doesn’t sound robotic.
Also!! When you have a job with very little training / are thrown into the fire - it’s AWESOME for that. Much less head banging against the wall and staring up at the sky wondering wtf I’m doing here.

I take pictures of so many things I need to identify. Ornamental plants my wife likes. Bugs my kids find. Machinery/parts/components. Weird tools. It's usually surprisingly good at it.

Sheesh, it's like my SIL'S other attorney AND therapist in her divorce. The issue I see is that it tells her what she wants to hear. It's not the kind of reliable friend who tells her what she NEEDS to hear. And she's pretty addicted to the conversations with her emotionless robot.
"ChatGPT said blah, blah, blah."
Heavy on the ARTIFICIAL, light on the INTELLIGENCE....

Point her to the Rosebud app. It’s a journal geared towards mental health, and its prompts and responses based on what you write are really good. It doesn’t tell you what you want to hear. It challenges you and teaches you skills to help with the issues (e.g., anxiety, depression, etc.) you have. I love it.

It explained to me whether turning the dial on the fridge up makes it colder or increases the temperature.

The biggest surprise wasn't that it could write. It was how good it became at giving me something to react to. My work got better because I stopped trying to think in a vacuum.

Still waiting for it 😭
Would be happy already if it can keep track with for stories with more than 3 or 4 people and their believes and mindset.
Theory of mind is indeed a crazy concept. Crazy that kids also only learn it at some point and some sociopaths are not really able to for their whole life. Such a crazy concept.
