Used it live with my team to write an inspirational speech then I read back to the team. We all had a good laugh.

It’s just not contextual enough yet to understand how to sound genuine to a team that has had enough connection and time together to have developed our own norms.

I also tried to use it to limit the string length of a type in typescript and it hallucinated an answer that probably should be how they implement that feature’s ergonomic. Threw me for a loop because it looked so legit, but alas the feature doesn’t actually exist.

GPT does shine bright if you are exploring/brainstorming a new topic at 2am and there’s no one else to run your ideas past.

I also have successfully used it to round out my thoughts about high level topics and think of things I would not have when developing plans.

For the time being, I view it less as a competitor to my brain and more of a compliment.

In relationships we tend to develop dependencies on our partners where our deficiencies are their strengths. I guess I’m still learning about the strengths of GPT.

It’s striking that I already view this technology as a potential “partner” of sorts, different than a simple “resource” like google or stack overflow.
