Yeah, it’s a useful tool if you are cautious and know what it can and cannot do. The issue is when I have to tell my relatives that using ChatGPT to do your taxes in a poor idea. As long as you know what you’re doing, there’s no reason to demonize its use (outside of environmental factors and infringement of intellectual property. heh…).
It’s perfectly good for things where you don’t need an accurate answer, but just can’t be bothered to do yourself. A good question would be like “I’m going on a weekend trip to Paris with my wife. Give me two choices with differently priced options for schedules Friday to Monday with the main attractions… both options should be less than €500”
It’d take about a weekend to do that research manually with any search engine. AI can deliver it within minutes.
So, forget about having it do fool proof explicit programming, in which it would fail. It’s force is in doing cumbersome mondane stuff fast.
