[D] With ML tools progressing so fast, what are some ways you've taken advantage of them personally?

Submitted by RedditLovingSun t3_124k4e5 in MachineLearning

This is revolutionary tech, but a lot of the content about their potential focus around "you could have it help you with such and such business" which is cool but the majority of us don't (or can't) directly use it much for business or work.

But I'm sure there are still lots of ways to get value out of it, thought we could share some of how we've used it so far. So far I've used generative tech to:

  • Draft simple emails to review
  • Digitize a drinking game and code it for my friends to access online
  • Paste and have it quiz me for a upcoming test
  • Help recommend and summarize books and movies
  • Have a history expert to answer all my questions while I read some history books (somewhat cautious of hallucinations here)

And now I just got access to the chatgpt code interpreter alpha and used it for simple side projects, and am looking for inspiration to personally leverage to learn or do things in new beneficial and creative ways.

Oh I've used it to <insert something I previously used to do to do with google>. It's great.

search for a library to do something in some programming language.

It gives you the exact one, the library that you could never search on google.

Then ask it to add comments to an example project for a library that is poorly documented and in a language you don’t know. It’s like putting on senior dev goggles.

Are you using some vector knowledge database? If the library is not popular, how can the GPT "know" about it?

draft angry letters to people who send me advertisements in the mail, telling them in 5,000 words to never contact me again and to evaluate their life choices

I mostly automated the production of meat themed scripture. I used ChatGPT to write the scripts that run a madlib style series of prompts based on a lore I wrote about anthropomorphic flies that evolve to worship meat heaps through the openAI API and have ChatGPT3.5 generate the scripture. It then gets fed through Google's text to speech and I use it in my decaying meat livestream.

Also it spruced up my resume and let me build a mini application that summarizes online reviews for a side hustle I have helping a niche small business understand online marketing.

With chatgpt:

- Generate variations of ideas. I type in an idea I have and prompt it to generate variations

- Creative brainstorming for professional work

- Make me laugh by prompting to get some really abstract and surreal story lines

With Bing:

- Search for information in a quick way and have it summarized, it can be hit or miss, but it is getting better at it definitely

I struggle with this, I was trying to get it it help me come up with interesting thesis research questions in a very specific audioML field, but it failed to come up with anything original, and I don't know if there's a certain way I should have phrased my questions or it's just creative limitations

Its fun to show off when we have dinner guests over. "Hey check out what my computer can do!"

I’ve used chatGPT-4 for very specific relationship and career advice, it’s surprisingly good at understanding corporate jargon

The best uses I've come up with for the api:

  • annotating large text data sets
  • checking the work of human labelers
  • using it to generate the rest API that hasn't been built yet

I ask Bing to read the pdf document I have opened and provide me with an abstract. I love that.

So far?

  • Draft logo creations
  • Recreation of those late night geeking sessions
  • a smarter search engine

I told GPT-4 to write the code for a small 4-wheeled robot to act as a Roomba-like device. It wrote the MicroPython code for doing so (I did not know that the project existed). Bought the board (I was using Arduino), re-hooked everything together, and got it to work as expected on the second try. It even created what I believe it is a kind of memory module for long-term storage of my dorm's shape, so the robot has memorized and optimized the cleaning routes on itself.

Not bad for 3 mins of prompting
