I’ve started using ChatGPT extensively for a lot of things. I needed to automate a process I do weekly (export spreadsheet to Excel, send an email to a specific address). Nothing huge, but I just asked CharGPT to do it and it had 80% of the leg work done in 20 seconds.Last year my optometrist cousin was telling me he is already 70% obsolete and mainly is around so a human can take the blame in case something goes wrong.
since we already hijacked the thread, here is what this guy thinks on the subject (long and not much new):
I also use it extensively for scaffolding and boilerplate. It’s almost always easier/ faster to ask ChatGPT to do something then adapt what it cranks out then it is to start from scratch. Been working with some old code in PHP lately and it’s been years since I’ve dug into this stuff. I get the 80% done with automation and focus on the finer details myself.
This is with just the basic stupid web interface. Going to start experimenting with the API soon.
It is real. It is improving fast and it is often entirely wrong about stuff. Kind of scary because I know how much people are going to be leaning on it shortly.
