imo assistants can be helpful, but that's usually when using it for functionality that's available locally (i.e. setting timers, making initial calendar entries, stuff like that)

i'm not sure if it's because of api limitations or because they are not that sophisticated, but ime generally any sort of extended functionality just does not work well

one of the useful things siri did was figure out i was setting a 2 minute timer most mornings (for my coffee, you see) and now every morning when i get up there's a "set a 2 minute timer" notification from siri on my lock screen

yeah, can for sure work. and ultimately it is a very human interface which i appreciate. my father lost his eyesight for 6 months from a medical complication, and siri was a great boon for him at the time.

partly that is the kind of basis i have for believing in the value of gpt models, we're talking human communication. even though the high profile demos are bad the effects are already good, and there's almost certainly more to come.

I’m using chatgpt to help me do my performance review because I loving hate doing it and this years it’s even worse than usual due to issues beyond my control

I always get “meets expectations” anyway despite refusing promotions and getting max bonus every year so you know it’s bull poo poo anyway

in factors not involving noble progress in human communication that i expect gpt models to help us out in: the end of writing lengthy bits of text that everyone involved knows means nothing.

i use random generative stuff to kickstart my music creative juices all the time so yeah i can absolutely believe that you can do the same thing with writing using gpt models

in the end the job of the creative person is to make sure that the end result is something worthwhile, no matter the tools

just copy pasting the output of the first prompt you whip up is of course not the way to use it unless what you are doing is seo spam blogs
