Honestly, I keep secret some of the amazing uses of ChatGPT. I feel selfish but also I feel as if everyone is respsible for what they get out of it. We have many people and the media spending hours and tons of prompts trying to create funny or eyebrow raising headlines. I just keep my head down an marvel at the growing array if uses, many complex, that chatgpt can perform. It has been making me tons more money for just $20 a month. I could hire 10 developers and assistants and they would not be able to come close to it's technical, coding and general abilities and in 1 to 5% of the time it would usually take!

Hi, do you mind revealing some of these uses? Or, lets put it differently, I have been using ChatGPT for
- writing simple functions: e.g. I used it to generate a function that receives a name and then removes any dutch name particles ("van de", "van der", ...). ChatGPT also generated the list of dutch name particles of dutch name particles.
- solving tricky bugs: e.g. I used it to solve a tricky but in SwiftUI that nobody on stackoverflow was able to solve.
- generating ideas for apps I could develop that would make use of the ChatGPT API.
- as a replacement for google when debugging code based on error messaged received.
I feel like this is how the typical programmer uses ChatGPT, but im intrigued by your comment what kind of uses you have for it. If you dont mind, could you hint at some ways you use it?
Same. I'm almost inclined to include prompt engineering as a skill in my CV next time I'm out looking for jobs.
You absolutely should. This has gone from an obscure research product to household name incredibly quickly. South Park even made a full episode about it.
Yes, I see all these people saying they've tried ChatGPT and don't understand the point or why it's useful. They've probably just not learned how to prompt it correctly.
Did you use any publicly available resources to learn how to leverage these LLMs in new ways?
