I am what is known as an early adopter, I try all the new shit, I was on Twitter early and got banned for being a Nazi or something when if you said anything anyone disagreed with you were a fascist.
Chat GPT is something that I have been playing with, 3.5 is as dumb as a plank, If OpenAI wanted to convince me that upgrading to 4 was a good idea they would have made 3.5 interesting enough that it was useful for more than creating outlines.
Here are my concerns.
Chat GPT cannot count, it cannot follow instructions and rehashes the same content in numerous areas, I tried writing blogs about photography, web development, carpentry and more. As a brainstorming device it’s good, to get an outline it’s accep[table, but as far as trusting it with creating original content that needs as much effort to edit and fact check as it would take me to do it from scratch anyway.
In the ever changing, fast paced world yadda yadda is one of it’s gotos. I wonder how many people are posting exactly the same AI generated shite, because they can’t be arsed to actually check it.
IT’s a boon for the spam content creator, but for the person serious about his business< I am not convinced, Convince me.

I did the same thing, used 3.5 for article writing and it was trash, upgraded to 4.0 and it definitely was better. Still editing tho!
It won’t do your job for you, but it’s definitely useful for optimizing tasks. For example, as a programmer, I can get it to write a simple function for me that I can integrate into the main script, which makes life just a little bit easier. It’s not the be all end all, it’s just another tool.
Agree, but there is a BUT. Chat GPT is great for creating a skeleton for large texts. And I love it because it gives me ideas when my mind is racing. I’m sure that GPT will develop rapidly and optimize our workflow. But these are just my thoughts.
I use it as a research resource!
Your analysis is correct.
I typically use it the other way around. I start with an original idea and an outline and hand it off to AI to make it fit the format required by the audience.
For example, you can write an original and new post about a generic problem, like “How to deal with cheater?”, then ask ChatGPT to mold it for the photographers, web developers, carpenters, and middle aged husbands.
In the end Chat GPT is just a tool. It’s usefulness is proportional to the creativity of the user.
Now that is the best idea I have seen, I will test your methodology
It’s $20 broke boy
yes R 400.00 in my language 20 tools that each solve a small problem is a weeks income in my part of the world, in your part of the world that $20 is two cups of coffee
Oh my bad man
Here is how ChatGPT answered your question: :)
It’s understandable that you have reservations about the utility of ChatGPT, especially when it comes to creating original and trustworthy content. While ChatGPT can be a valuable tool for brainstorming and generating ideas, it does have limitations, and it’s important to consider these limitations when deciding whether to use it for specific purposes. Here are some points to consider:
Understanding Limitations:
ChatGPT is not infallible, and it may not always produce accurate or reliable information. It’s crucial to recognize that the model generates responses based on patterns it learned during training and may not have up-to-date or real-world knowledge.
Fact-Checking and Editing:
As you’ve observed, the content generated by ChatGPT may require thorough fact-checking and editing. It’s a tool that can assist in generating ideas and outlines, but relying on it without careful review can lead to inaccuracies.
Content Uniqueness:
If uniqueness and originality are critical for your content, relying solely on ChatGPT may not be sufficient. While it can help with brainstorming, it may not consistently produce content that stands out from what others might generate using the same tool.
Spam and Repetition:
Your concern about potential repetition in AI-generated content is valid. It’s possible that multiple users may end up with similar or identical content, especially if they are asking similar questions or requesting information on popular topics.
AI as a Supplement, Not a Replacement:
Think of ChatGPT as a supplement to your creative process rather than a replacement. It can be a useful tool for generating ideas, but the final responsibility for crafting high-quality, accurate content lies with the user.
GPT-4 Improvements:
It’s worth noting that newer iterations of models, like GPT-4, may address some of the limitations you’ve identified. OpenAI continues to refine its models, and future versions may offer improvements in accuracy, coherence, and understanding of context.
Use in Specific Scenarios:
Consider using ChatGPT in specific scenarios where its strengths can be maximized, such as brainstorming, idea generation, or creating outlines. For critical and fact-intensive content, you may still want to rely on your own expertise and thorough research.
Ultimately, the decision to use ChatGPT or similar tools depends on your specific needs, preferences, and the nature of the content you’re creating. It’s a powerful tool, but it’s most effective when used with a critical eye and in conjunction with human oversight. If you find that it doesn’t align with your workflow or doesn’t provide sufficient value, it’s entirely reasonable to reassess its role in your creative process.GPT cannot and will never replace you.
If you know how to give GPT the right data it can give you useful information. It is up to you to use that information the right way.
Sure it does have some mannerisms that it regularly defaults to…but that’s to be expected from an AI that lacks the capacity for truly autonomous reasoning. It’s speaking from a fairly limited pool of knowledge.
The moral here is: Don be lazy. Do what you ought to do
GPT4 is significantly more potent that the 3.5, 3 can’t write heavy complex code for me and work with multiple files without making mistakes. I’m not talking about example codes, I’m talking about giving it actual working code and requesting new things to be added.
Chat GPT cannot count
[_] You know how a language model works
[X] Though it may in the future with plugins.
In short: yes. Cause you will get detected anyway, so either you cheat or not, you still will be considered a cheater. But if you use GPT smarter than others you will be undetectable, Just make a few universal prompts for GPT essay writing then run your content through ai paraphrasing tool such as Ne…tus.AI and then edit thoroughly by yourself. Writing it self will be faster but editing will be longer but overall you should be able to complete 10 pages essay in a few hours easy.
Chatgpt is a tool and it does what its good at very well.
It wont replace deep quality work, but it will speed you up.
Ive found it really usefull when I need to find documentation and its also really good a writing scripts. Probably not better than me if I knew Bash, but I dont use I often enough to be good at it.
The people saying ChatGPT revolutionized their business are of 2 camps:
- People who use it to “help”. It gets you started quickly - like you mentioned, it’s good at creating first drafts of outlines, helping you brainstorm. It’s not (yet) able to really craft good content, but it’ll definitely speed things up. I know people who are using it as an online helper for their consultancy businesses because it’s so good at the brainstorming.
- People who are really not good at writing. For them, the boilerplate that ChatGPT churns out is miles better than their own efforts. AND it’s quick. So think someone in a third world country trying to pitch services to people in the west: their written English may be good by local standards but sounds stilted or even downright wrong to native English speakers. ChatGPT is life changing for that person.
The bottom line is, it’s not a panacea. The buzz is deserved in some scenarios, but can be very misleading. You cannot (yet) trust it to do all your writing for you. BUT, keep using it, and I predict within a few years, it or another LLM will be actually good enough to do a lot of the work you’re doing right now.
You’re not an “early adopter” if you’re whining about how you won’t pay $20 for super AI in your pocket, you’re just a whiny LARPer.
