Chat GTP

[melk]

I use it for literally anything I would otherwise “google”. Instead of having to scroll through webpages looking for information it just spits out the answer. And you can just keep asking for more details. I like it

I use it for writing Powershell scripts and solving complex IT issues when I don’t have a good grasp on them already.

What I’ve found is that it excels for me when I feed it as much detailed info as I can. In some IT scenarios I have typed out a number of paragraphs detailing what I’m looking to do and I’m often surprised by the quality of the output.
I’ve also had several very long back and forth “conversations” with it to refine plans of action

Having said this, it is frequently at least partially incorrect and sometimes very wrong. All output, scripts, etc.. need to be understood and evaluated. You do not just blindly take something unknown and run it without fully understanding the steps.

In the very near future there will be three types of employees in the tech industry. 1. Those who augment themselves with the use of LLMs in order to accelerate their productivity and/or help mitigate their own weaknesses; they will be fine. 2. Those who become overly reliant on LLMs; they will oversell themselves during the hiring process just to be found out later and either not get the job or get themselves fired due to incompetence. 3. Those who reject and avoid using LLMs; they will be left in the dust and we can already see that they are on the priority list for cuts.

I use GitHub Copilot extensively. The amount of time spent researching a solution to a problem is much lower.

Totally worth a few bucks a month!

I use Deep Seek instead. I think it's more refined - Chat GPT has been inadequate for my needs.

I use it for crafting letters, Excel macros and general inquiries.

Yes, DEEPSEEK is very impressive.
I tried MSN's bot on my iPhone for a while. It was fun but then got tired of it and removed it.

Curiosity made me download DeepSeek within a day or two that it came out and impressed me very much. Still dont use it often but when I remember to, for a quick answer to something, wow. Its fast! Super smooth, love watching the text instantly start streaming across the display.

I LOVE the DeepThink (R1) tab at the bottom. I dont know if you tried searching with that on. IT IS AMAZING. DeepSeek displays its thought process first, then gives the answer. Turn it on, then do a search. Kind of freaky seeing its thought process (it talks to itself) as it composes an answer. It evens tells itself to show "empathy" if you are searching for something related to a human condition.

REALLY wild, the darn thing is talking to itself, reasons why it will give the answer that it does. I find it fascinating. I tried posting the results in here but the moderators deleted my whole thread. I was told "It is against BITOG rules to post AI generated content."
Anyway, dont post AI content replies in here even if you were posting it as an example of what it is capable of. Actually I should do a thread on "how too" without AI replies.

So for anyone using DeepSeek, before a search, click on the tab at the bottom of the app that says "DeepThink (R1)" I know I am repeating myself but I have to say I find it fascinating.

It's a tool that was designed, from its inception, to impress first, then, maybe be somewhat useful. It can't do logic and math. It's a glorified database with a randomizer. I know it's an oversimplified explenation, but it's like this: garbage in, garbage out.

It's useful for spelling correction. Be mindful when you prompt it to correct spelling mistakes as it can easily rewrite your text and change the meaning of it.

AI hasn't produced anything useful thus far, but surely consumed, and still consumes, lots and lots of energy. It also enriched certain people that tend to think of themselves as God-Kings now.

The "generative" part of Generative AI is to generate a lot of money for the people behind it.

Sometimes I feel like I live in the world of Futurama, when I see what's happening around me today.

The only GTP I'm interested in is the Acura ARX-06.

All I know is my son has been programing since he was 12 (I taught him). He is 50 y.o. He is a computer engineer in one of the largest companies in the U.S.. Its done all the time.

If that's all you know, then you don't know much.

It's nice that your son has a good job and career.

I had a 97 Grand Prix GTP that was a lot of fun

 

[GSCJR]

I worked on a few of those beasts!

 

[Skippy722]

I use it as an extra set of eyes when I’m banging my head on my desk trying to figure out why the G-Code ain’t working. I’m at about 50/50 on it being helpful.

You are entitled to your opinion. But its here to stay and will only get better.

The former Google CEO has a lecture where he describes that the current AI models have used ALL EXISTING DATA (!) to train so in order to improve further, they need to manufacture data to train on.

 

[Vil_Riker]

That's actually not that easy to do. Just training it on a lot of "tokens", much of which is unverified garbaaaage from wikipedia, stackexchange, and reddit, and trying to hack it together to catch corner cases will never make it reliable.

People who actually understand nothing about how the code works think it's amazing and some even unwisely invest there, but they're being fed a line.

I used to work with a PHD that had a Natural Language Processing model. Highly touted and established scientist.

When he left to get a higher paying position somewhere else, we looked into this magic software that propelled his career. It was a bunch of manually entered "if-then" statements.

I keep the R1 option checked to see what the thought process is. Helps with identifying if more details need to be added to the prompt.

I like that it's open source and you can install it on your computer and use locally instead of the web interface. It's a leap forward in making AI widely available to everyone.

Actually for what I do this is better.

I asked deepseek if it was "smarter" than ChatGPT. Interesting answer. Basically it said Chat was more creative, while deep was able to dig deeper into data and summarize.
