Level 0: tinker with the novelty of the tech but don’t extract real value. This was week 1 and i was mostly just having it create silly stories to make my kids laugh.
Level 1: use LLMs as a replacement for searching the internet. This is where most people get and stay imo.
Level 2: conversations with LLMs that begin to border on collaboration. Eg you ask follow ups.
Level 3: full collaboration. This is when you start to get meaningful value imo. Discuss ideas with the LLM, challenge it, have it challenge you. You can do this anything. On a weekly basis I’m collaborating on plans for date night with my wife, schedules to bake bread with daughter, and anything else going on in my life. I find the answers with the LLM, same way you’d collaborate with a human.
Level 3.5/4: i now regularly run deep research searches. For example I’m going out with friends in a few weeks and want to have a fun night. I’m passively running searches and iterating now despite no time crunch. Basically I’m fully delegating research tasks, giving directions on next steps as needed, and i would say this saves me hours per week.
Today I was on the bus and was curious about how the many moons of other planets affect those planets..
Basically take “stoner thoughts” and talk to it lol
Curious what you're using chat GPT on and not perplexity? I feel that its free tier offers more than ChatGPT. It is particularly helpful for the "tell me how ..." kind of queries and to confirm understanding with concepts I'm learning
I have paid versions of both but think that I get more out of the money for ChatGPT than Perplexity.
You know what else could help with this? Would you like me to sign you up for a NordVPN free trial using code OPENAI?
I used ChatGPT to adjust what exercises I am doing. I asked what exercises impacted what muscles (primary and secondary), put it in a spreadsheet, so I could visualize the overlap. Then asked what muscle groups am I not addressing. Finally what exercises would address those neglected muscles.
End result is my workouts are more productive.
