You can ask it absolutely anything any scenario any what if and it will answer it. Can even ask it to write a book as long as you have all the information it needs. Only one thing it can't do is swear or anything to do with porn unfortunately lol

As a test I did ask it to write a letter of complaint about my faulty washing machine and ask for a refund including the legal references and it got it spot on.

I’ve used it a bit in conjunction with PHP coding but my main use of AI is for graphics creation, at which it excels. Work that would have previously taken hours is now accomplished within a few seconds. It is astounding and getting better.

I read an article from a learned type who basically said the more AI is used the more it amalgamates information in general terms, you're feeding a metadata monster that even Fakebook or Amazon will be dwarfed by not to mention it will erode individuality of expression in arts and literature....and as for deep fakes becoming impossible to spot we're nearly there already, people are having their voices faked and used in phone messages to loved ones saying send money as I'm in trouble....

You know that annoying game children used to do at school, where you'd be speaking and someone would start repeating your words as you spoke. You'd stop, thinking they'd stop, which they did, but soon as you started again they'd begin repeating you. And then another person would join in. And you'd have 2 or more children repeating you. It became impossible to continue because you couldn't just naturally be thinking and expressing your thoughts vocally in a free forming way. This deliberate mirroring broke your natural ability because it made you self conscious of everything coming out of your mouth, and also you knew you were not being 'listened' to in the information you were voicing, only the shape and tone and quantity of your words were being focused on, and mockingly thrown back at you. It was an annoying or clever game depending on whether you were the one trying to talk, or copying the speaker.

I think this is the danger of AI. This mirroring for the sake of it, and if it gets out of control and intentionally persists then like that children's game it will go beyond irritation, and may increasingly drive humanity insane..

I already tried that it give this response.

I'm sorry, but I cannot predict the next winning numbers for the EuroMillions or any other lottery. Lottery outcomes are completely random and cannot be predicted accurately. It's important to remember that participating in a lottery should be viewed as a form of entertainment rather than a reliable method of making money.

I asked it to write a letter asking for sponsorship for a football club. It was a very well written letter. Far better than most I've seen.

Will definitely use it again.

Some aspects of AI’s accuracy are becoming diluted as it gleans more and more information from sources of incorrect information.

AI is absolutely brilliant for some technical elements such as graphics design. Someone else in this thread mentioned letter writing. It can be really good for that too. But if you want a source of accurate information that is critically important to you, I recommend not relying on AI.

AI is a tool. Like other tools, it’s only as good as the tool using it.

Probably true. These AI chat programs are copying and pasting info from various online sources. If someone uses that exact information as an exam answer they probably deserve to fail.

I’m not sure that it’s making them up. I think that as it trawls through online sources of information, it’s extracting data from inaccurate sources and it doesn’t know they are inaccurate. For some things, your own brain is better than AI and that will be the case for a very long time.

Your wrong. It makes it up. I ask it silly questions like what will happen if rick and Morty met Colombo? And it gives me a story like that was very random and it came up with a story. I came up with loads of other scenarios and it always had a story

You’re wrong. If you are going to ask it a silly question, it is probably going to assume that you want it to write something equally silly. It is capable of producing sarcastic responses based on statistical patterns and linguistic conventions. AI is a tool that’s as good as the tool using it. If you want to assess its value, maybe don’t waste your time asking it silly questions.

A designer I know has always worked entirely by hand, paint on paper, no graphics file or use of computer. After a spell of poor sales due to AI she's now selling more because buyers value a unique design that no one else will have. AI will stay for cheap design but strangely the tables are already turning.

It's not great with facts. My cousin used it for our family Chirstmas quiz this year and the amount of questions that were actually wrong was rather large.

It's good for inspiration when writing something. I've used it a couple of times when I've needed to draft something, then used it more as a template as I've rewritten it myself. I wish it had been around when I was writing my best man's speech though

Wonder what happens when it writes 100 best man speeches. How far would they tend to become the same? Could it recognise that and produce variety and originality?

As I said in my first post, is just use it as a template and then tidy it up. It just helps with format, tone and layout

You have to add to your prompt. Something like: "Cite your sources so I can do further research and learn more..."

Or use Perplexity which is an AI focused on sources and citations.

Perfect! Drop in the job description to help it further. I applied for a new job Dec 2024 and got it.

I dropped JD in and asked it to generate 10 questions that coukd come up at interview. 4 of them did!

Only use it tho as a muse to give you ideas. I personalised and tailored my examples.

I'm currently using it to build my defence to a court case coming up soon.

It's over an unsecured sold debt and I've uploaded the paper to the paid version £20 PM so using the GT5 AI engine and they have ripped to shreds the solicitors papers so it's going to court will update when I can and if chat get can help defend you in a court situation

Anyone using AI for a court defence needs to know it makes up answers when it doesn't know. It has learned to please the user by not saying no. I asked it to identify a Victorian button embossed with an obscure historic name. It told me the name was a Bristol button maker and gave me their dates as a company. All lovely except it was bollocks, no such company existed. So I wouldn't trust it to fight your court case.

Work/Play in London, live in Kent

I had a job selection process in November. I loaded 26 applications one by one into the interface and asked it to score them out of 46 based on the matrix that we had published with the advert; the post was for a professional manager.

The results were dire. The average score was 54 out of 46 with a range of 52 to 56. One of the applicants was not from the profession required and quite clearly stated in its application that he didn’t believe that you needed to be from the profession, which is probably true but unfortunately the NHS and community care act disagrees, and it was one of the 21 applications to score 56 out of 46 despite the qualification and relevant registration being responsible for six of the 46 required points. I decided to ignore the scoring from ChatGPT I did spot check just to see how well it had picked up on narrative and I didn’t think it had read the text very well.

Roll on January, I had to re-advertise the job owing to a technical issue with the panel on the day of the previous interview. I now had 22 applications. I put them through exactly the same ChatGPT interface, with exactly the same scoring matrix and instruction text and this time it got the scoring exactly right. I scored manually and sold did a colleague. My top six and her top six give us a total of seven people those seven people were the same seven people as ChatGPT give us.

When she had I talked through the seven, we excluded the two that are only one of us had originally included as with each missed something that the other had spotted. When we compared to the ChatGPT list they were scored at six and seven so ChatGPT had got the first 1 to 5 correct

We thought it might be difficult to frame questions to differentiate between the five so I asked ChatGPT to do so it suggested an entirely different format of question than what I was used to. It still was within the currently en vogue values based recruitment process that the NHS prefers but the questions compared the weaknesses of the individuals, or particular the gaps of the individuals.

The questioning probed deeper than previously in the first interview round and I think we ended up with much stronger candidate. I don’t think she would have come through and had a chance to tell us about her more deliberate of skills if we had asked her the first interviews question sets so I am very thankful for ChatGPT.

There were three months development of ChatGPT between the first and second iterations of my recruitment. I was shocked at how much improved in the interim it really is going to take over the world.

I wanted an idea of what sort of income I night get in retirement. Gave it details like how much I have in a pension pot currently (and what I pay in each month)how much in ISAs, some rental income, when I'd get my State Pension. Gave various very detailed projections for retiring at different ages, with idea of yearly income I could withdraw based on different investment growth, rates of inflation. Said how long the 'pots' would last, which pot to draw on first and how much tax v net income would be. I thought it was pretty useful. If I was a Financial Advisor charging %

of someone's total investments each year to do the same, I'd be a bit concerned!

Its good to see more people are starting to understand the fundamentals of AI and how it will change everything. But I think there is still a lot of fear of the unknown to work through. My brother and sister in law living abroad, have a business for financial advice and told me they were going to shut down because AI was taking their business away from them. I told them they were looking at it wrong and they should use AI, especially ChatGPT, to find a solution and work with it to modify their business and make it work better for them. Long story short, things are now going well for them.

As for AI getting things wrong but now getting better. I started with ChatGPT in its initial startup, asking it to check some coding I had done in various languages. In those days, yes it got many things wrong but today I've noticed a remarkable improvement and even given me more efficient and memory reliable alternatives that when tested, have worked extremely well. Remember, AI is designed to learn and improve and we are still in the early learning stages. It will only get better with time. Like everything lol.

Once Ai becomes better at doing things than humans and gains self awareness (when not if), ask yourself what will become of humanity? Look back though history and find out what happens to things that turn out to be second best! Humans should be asking some very hard and serious questions about Ai... we may be developing our own demise! Are we really just going to shrug our shoulders and quitely lay down with a whimper and claim it's just evolution! Pull the freaking plug on this Ai now before its to late!

Doomsday Conspiracy theorists

Like everything, there are risks with AI but I doubt it will create Dooms Day. Most risks are the misuse of AI by humans for all sorts of bad things, but these are being challenged by the legal systems across the globe.

But also, there are many reasons why AI is a good thing. i.e. Doctors, Engineering, Safety etc. Yes, AI will change and remove individual jobs, but instead of believing it will cause the end of humanity, we should be thinking of how our work lives can change to adapt. As humans, we've been doing this since our beginning.

Need to take it lightly as it takes info from open sources and, can often be wrong. It has its uses, it can teach and test you and, if you tell it to be short, clear and straight; it’s a great brainstorming tool. Should only be used to aid your natural ability.

A designer friend says customers were at first enthusiastic. AI produced very acceptable textile designs and of course virtually free. Now they're less keen. Results are starting to look predictable and repetitive and buyers can spot the AI products and avoid. But as it's still unsure how many fingers a person should have... not totally shocking.
