The article was full of cherry-picked examples and straw man style argumentative techniques. Here are a few ways I have used ChatGPT (via MS Edge Browser AddOn) recently:
- Generate some Dockerfile code snippets (which had errors, but I still found useful pointing me in the right direction).
- Help me with a cooking recipe where it advised that I should ensure the fish is dry before I cook it in olive oil (otherwise the oil will splash).
- Give me some ideas for how to assist a child with a homework assignment.
- Travel ideas for a region I know well, yet, I had not heard of the places it suggested.
- Movie recommendations
Yes, there are a lot of caveats when using ChatGPT, but the technology remains remarkable and will presumably improve quickly. On the downside, these technologies give even more power to tech companies that already have too much of it.
