Assuming you use chatGPT in your life and/or work, what are the top 3 use cases that you leverage it for?
Personally:
• Coding (particularly translating code and debugging)
• Thinking ("You are a brainstorming partner, ...")
• Doing some small scale data processing ("Scrape this webpage, make this a csv, etc...)

@nichochar getting keywords and topics ideas from there and then research manually

1. Development: Has tremendously speeded up my dev tasks.
2. Writing formal letters in foreign languages (for administrative tasks etc.) since I don't speak the language of my resident country yet. Google Translate doesn't do as well of a job
3. Brainstorming for research work. It's incredible to interact with ChatGPT to get started with ideas which can be looked into further. Has helped me build a foundation for my thesis
As mentioned by others, I'm interested to know how I can use it for data processing. Maybe I should look into it!

@nichochar Oh yes. definitely. I can't emphasize enough how important it is to do this. Otherwise, you end up with ChatGPT plainly agreeing to all your ideas and not providing a proper critique. Good suggestion!
@sambit_bhaumik
Do you have some prompts you can share for (3) ? I'm interested in leveling up on brainstorming with chatGPT

@nichochar I learnt a gimmick that we can instruct ChatGPT to perform a certain role. So, i would start my conversation about research ideas with something like 'I am working on a ideas for a research paper so please act as my research advisor.' Then I would talk a bit about the topics I am interested in. At the end of the prompt, I would instruct keep the conversation more direct and technical, as ChatGPT tends to ramble. Hope this helps!
@sambit_bhaumik I love this idea. I want to do it more.
Finding the right roles, and maybe even multiplexing with multiple critics, could be really productive.
I like "research advisor". Similarly I've thought of prompting it as "you are very contrarian, like Peter Thiel or Balaji or , please use lateral thinking as you criticize the ideas below."

Learning new things
Content creation, brainstorming ideas, and learning new topics.
1. Generating Interfaces.
2. Creating templates for unit tests.
3. Writing documentation
Quite boring I know but I've found so far that Generating interfaces and writing documentation via ChatGPT is quite efficient!
@nichochar for SQL it really depends, it's good for basic stuff but when you try to do more complex CTE it fails a bit. Also I don't feel really comfortable pasting large queries in the model, that's kind of leaking data in a sense.
@constantine_stan I also use it to setup interfaces / base classes. Also great for SQL
- Development: I use it as an assistant for small tasks, in database design to get the structure reviewed, but also to use new technologies, recently I integrated Elasticsearch into a system from scratch.
- Improving sentence form, in writing e-mails or texts that require a particular form.
- To generate emoji from small texts for Linkedin.
I'm interested in how you say for scraping, do you use model 4 to scrap it or do you take html and ask it how to retrieve the information you need?
