If you look at ChatGPT as a free virtual assistant it's amazing.

My favorite use cases:

1. Specialize job cover letters/client proposals

2. Creating basic programming scripts to do repetitive tasks

3 Talking to difficult people- I use CHATGPT to text normies in the right "tone" (You know normies and their fee fees)

@basedbagel dud that is awesome, can you give me an example of an example of one of what one of your scripts does?

@37712

I created a script to automatically back up my files to an external hard drive.

I knew how to do it but CHATGPT did it faster and it actually got it right on the 1st try!

@basedbagel nice, was the script in bash or what language, like how did it work?

@37712

It was just a simple 3 line powershell script. to backup my videos to my external drive.

The geek in my though it was pretty cool that CHATGPt even commented on each line of code so I knew what it was doing.

It's really cool shit I recommend trying it out

@basedbagel @37712

I wrote a powershell backup script that's probably 30 lines, and a bash one that's gotta be at least 100. You're going to have to roll your own if you have custom needs, but I like the other use cases.

I can see myself making use of an AI assistant that handles boilerplate replies to normies and general admin.

@basedbagel @37712

I think that's the killer use case - having a digital Igor hanging around to mop up all the background admin that burns time.

That would be so useful. Only thing is, I would never trust something like that unless there was an open source version that I could run self-hosted.

@UncleIroh @37712 I have privacy concerns as well so I don't ask it anything I wouldn't mind being made public.

But so far for me CHATGPT is like having a perpetual unpaid intern. It's fantastic!

@basedbagel @UncleIroh I told chatGPshiT to write me a script today it completly failed me, created the most convoluded script for 1 simole tax that i was able to resolve with 1 line of code
