    I've just used it successfully to write a fairly complicated script for After Effects, it was a lot of back and forward, we changed many processes and functions and ended up on a version that works with keyframes on the text source

    But I really had to use a lot of knowledge I had to describe the errors and the routes we should take, its first try didn't really worked

    So it's a shift to knowing the right questions instead of knowing the right answers, the thing searches the human knowledge for answers, it only needs the right question.

    Even for teaching, it's a shift to have students come up with the right questions and have AI help it dissert a nice answer

    I really think it's like the invention of the calculator, and people would get mad if you use a calculator in class, I think it's the same thing happening here but with language and semantics

    Really useful, try using it as an all knowing assistant!

    • <big ass thumbs up for this, especially for the 2nd and 3rd paragraph.
      I can't emphasize enough that the essence lies in how we ask.

    • We're teaching our students how to use chat gpt. It is frustrating that the training data is so dated, half the inaccuracies I've had in response are due tokingsteven
    • outdated information, any time I've used it for code I have to update it on 3 years of versioning. So teaching medical students to use it actually helps themkingsteven
    • to learn to sniff out the outdated information from the correct sources.kingsteven
    • Calculators are trending again!

    • @ks - do you have any resources that you use for your students, or are you just going through it with them 'mano a mano'?Nairn
    • @kingsteven since you're into this here is an advice: build student profiles, train openai with these profiles, you will get results that students will love.sted
    • profiles require recorded interviews with the students but i think you're going to figure it out. we're doing this in the past few months, results arested
    • exceeding expectations on both sides.sted
    • I fundamentally don't understand this if you know the right questions just cut out the middle man and get your answers what is gpt bringing to the table?jonny_quest_lives
    • Your burning tokens and the think can hallucinate and just make shit up. It's predictive text generator not search engine.jonny_quest_lives
    • Congrats on your script but you sort of admit it was mostly u and not chatgpt. So +1 for humans ;)jonny_quest_lives
    • i asked it to write a script what extracts your name from this text, and it was done in a few seconds:

    • cheers sted, i'll look in to that. @Nairn, I the designer pleb am trying to complete pharmacy masters coursework with it ATM and we're taking it from there...kingsteven
    • all out attempt to address potential 'cheating' (not a huge concern) and digital literacy requirements. simple stuff like giving the students case studies tokingsteven
    • complete where we know chat gpt doesn't have the info (covid19 is an obvious one), writing excel equations to obtain relevant drug trial data from spreadsheetskingsteven
