How many of you are using ChatGpt to help you with your work, and not telling your boss/co-workers? (aussie.zone)

Just out of curiosity. I have no moral stance on it, if a tool works for you I'm definitely not judging anyone for using it. Do whatever you can to get your work done!

i think learning where it can actually help is a bit of an art - it's just predictive text, but it's very good predictive text - if you know what you need and get good and giving it the right input it can save a huge about of time. you're right though, it doesn't offer much if you don't already know what you need.

    Can you hand me an example? I keep hearing this but every time somebody presents something, be it work related or not, it feels like at best it would serve as better lorem ipsum

    I’ve had good success using it to write Python scripts for me. They’re simple enough I would be able to write them myself, but it would take a lot of time searching and reading StackOverflow/library docs/etc since I’m an amateur and not a pro. GPT lets me spend more time actually doing the things I need the scripts for.

    A use it with web development by describing what I want something to look like and have it generate a React component based on my description.

    Is what it gives me the final product? Sometimes, but it’s such a help to knock out a bunch of boilerplate and get me close to what I want.

    Also generating documentation is nice. I wanted to fill out some internal wiki articles to help people new to the industry have something to reference. Spent maybe an hour having a conversation asking all of the questions I normally run into. Cleaned up the GPT text, checked for inaccuracies, and cranked out a ton of resources. That would have taken me days, if not weeks.

    At the end of the day, GPT is better with words than I am, but it doesn’t have the years of experience I have.
