I’ve been actively using it and it’s become my go-to in a lot of cases - Google is more for verification when I smell something off or if it doesn’t have up to date information. Here are some examples:
• reviewing contract changes, explaining hard to parse legalese
• advice on accounting/tax when billing international clients
• visa application
• boilerplate django code
• learnt all about smtp relays, and requirements for keeping a good reputation for your IPs
• travel itinerary
• domain specific questions (which were 50/50 correct at best…)
• general troubleshooting
I’m using it as a second brain. I can quickly double check some assumptions, get a clear overview of a given topic and then direction on where I need to delve deeper.
Anyone who still thinks that this is “just a statistical model” doesn’t get it. Sure, it’s not sentient or intelligent, but it sure as hell making my life easier. I won’t be going back to the way I used to do things.
