I’ve been using it to teach myself basic coding for Excel Macros, yeah nothing fancy but it gave me enough of a ground level understanding to get started super fast.

Overall I think peoples expectations are too high right now. Let’s see what GPT4 does next year.

Where it really shines is having it write something “in the style of x”. Have x be a famous author, historical figure, Homeric style, Shakespearean English, etc. Really interesting results if one plays with it a bit.

I, over a series of prompts, had it compose an absurdly detailed story about a squirrel civil war. And then I asked it to convert the entire story into a series of 50 haikus. It was wild.

Also want to get into Excel Macros. I'll definitely use ChatGTP to get started.
