Potentially, but that's a function of how curious someone is. I've spent hours asking questions about things I'm curious about. Just recently, I had questions about how the Coptic, Catholic and Eastern Orthodox Christian churches came about and it explained it. For historical stuff like this, it's fine. For more technical topics, you need to double-check and be very specific with your prompts. I've found answers to more technical questions to be dead wrong.

Here's another example of how I've used it just a few hours ago-

I have some I-Bonds that I bought at various times and interest rates. I uploaded a PDF of purchases and had it calculate my average weighted yield and produce a schedule summarizing the results by purchase. It knocked that analysis out quickly.

So, I have practical things I have it do but it's also a on line library where I can just ask about things I'm curious about.

Thanks, GKARL. Glad you are double checking.

I read something recently that talked about how AI is "wired", for lack of a better word, to give you compliments of sorts, sort of like you might receive in conversation with a human if both parties seem to be agreeing. I have noticed it to be true as I "communicated" with it in researching something dealing with a mechanical experience on my vehicles with engine oil. It complimented me in my methodology and agreed with my analysis. It will also be polite and recognizes a thank you.

As you say, the key is using correct detailed prompts.

That said, I still question some answers because it gets its information from other humans who could be wrong or purposely misguiding it to achieve an objective. I'm guessing most people don't fact check. And, if you do, with AI becoming so widely used, can the fact check be trusted?

As far as the schools and curriculum go, I believe those things should still be learned using pencil and paper, at least for some subjects like math anyway, because what happens if a person is ever in a location and moment where there is no power or access to AI and they need to solve a problem?

I like Genesis better. Chatgpt has work limits that reset daily for certain requests so it limits the number of detailed calculations requests you can make in a day. Genesis has no limit for now. From what I'm figuring, the limits are designed to force you into paid models. Neither are accurate on more technical questions and Chatgpt hallucinates more IMO.

I requested help from AI on brain health, wanting more than my doctor provided. AI chatted with me for 90 minutes, providing multiple recommendations and affirmations. When we were done, AI summarized and organized our interaction in a matter of seconds. I saved the one-page results, printed and am following them.

It will be interesting to hear my doctor's thoughts.

Looking to do a thorough financial AI inquiry; much more complicated, that's for another day.

We have a tenant that has discovered the wonders of ChatGPT, and has started to use it in her interactions with me. Recently when a squirrel chewed its way into her house, she sent me a text that I KNOW was copied and pasted from ChatGPT. It discussed how critical it was to call in a professional wildlife exterminator, and all the dangers of not moving swiftly, etc etc.

The problem is that the answer is only as good as its prompt. I'm quite sure she didn't include the request anywhere in the prompt to "Propose a solution that mitigates risk at the lowest possible cost."

My first use of AI was for personal financial planning. I do my own financial planning and I wanted another opinion. Also, I had several questions about estate planning and trusts.

GKARL, when looking for a third party AI opinion do you input the same into two different systems?

Thanks for the info.
