Sorry for the tangent, wondering how you've used GPT to make your life better?
I'll start:
- making little scripts in shell / js / python that I'm not as fluent in. 5 min vs 1-3 hours
- explaining repos and apis instead of reading all the docs
- help with debugging
- flushing out angles for new concepts that I did not previously consider (ex: how do you make a good decentralized exchange)
- iKevinShah 3y agoYou know some people used to use Google as a glorified spell checker? I use ChatGPT as a glorified stupidity checker. What I mean is I ask it the silliest of the doubts. Like how to set environment variable in Windows (because we are all used to EXPORT aren't we?), whether or not can we do X in K8S YAML in a given conversation. Obviously I use it for other purposes as well, but it definitely has saved me a lot of hours getting the basics things right there in a prompt.
- Shorn 3y ago> explaining repos and apis instead of reading all the docs - help with debugging You can only do this with something that existed in its training set, right? There's no way to point it at a random GitHub repo and say "digest this, so I can ask you questions about it"?
- simonpacis 3y agoUsing the GPT-4 32k context model I would guess you can just paste the entire docs in there, and ask it questions about it. 32k tokens is about 24k words. https://help.openai.com/en/articles/7127966-what-is-the-difference-between-the-gpt-4-models https://help.openai.com/en/articles/7127966-what-is-the-diff...
