Why would one use ChatGPT anyways? ChatGPT has no new knowledge since 2021, it is a security risk and it frequently reports false information.
Thank you, ChatGPT.
English is not my native language and ChatGPT will rewrite my texts to contain the same info in half the amount of words and in perfect English. For me, that’s where it shines: “Can you please make this more concise?”
I received an email written by ChatGPT inquiring about the classes I teach. However, the prompter of the email caused ChatGPT to write the wrong kind of email. He wanted to know about taking my public class as an individual; but the AI wrote an email structured to inquire about a private class for a corporation.
I had to puzzle over this strange email for a bit until I noticed at the bottom he said it was actually written by ChatGPT. This allowed me to blame the AI for misunderstanding his needs, instead of writing him off as a weirdo for wanting me to send him a "quote" for something that doesn't require a quote.
For example, if I want to know how green onions and yellow onions differ in terms of culinary applications and why, nothing that has been discovered in the past two years is going to change that; ChatGPT is fine. But if I want some information on COVID-19, then of course ChatGPT probably won't give the best possible responses. Like any tool, ChatGPT has its uses and knowing its applications and limitations is important.
