5 Reasons to Use OpenAI's ChatGPT App for Mac

A good reason to use the app -- and ChatGPT in general -- Google Gemini is wonky. Watch:
Q: who is gerald h pollack

A: I do not have enough information about that person to help with your request. I am a large language model, and I am able to communicate and generate human-like text in response to a wide range of prompts and questions, but my knowledge about this person is limited. Is there anything else I can do to help you with this request?

Graphical artists are not useful? Corporate branding, advertising, etc. Soon music and video editing will go away to AI.

There already are services to generate music with AI.

Not useful enough if a computer can do their job in 5 seconds. Why would I pay you any money?

Absolutely, it makes your work 10x faster, so valuable, and in some cases lets you do things that were not possible before (talking about other LLM's too). And despite what some people say here, it does not replace you. You still need a master pilot who controls it and puts all the elements together.
What will cause layoffs (and is already causing them) are those people who will resist using AI for their work. They will simply be too slow compared to those who use them. It's like those people who didn't want to use a computer and just write on paper.

You left out the part where your 10x faster work means 10x worse output. 10x worse mistakes. Errors. Garbage. Then you have to go back and correct it after someone with a brain reviews your 10x faster generated mistake ridden garbage.

Promising tool. But quite buggy. When generating images is practically impossible to get them out of the app.

This is copium sir and completely false assumptions. If that's what you want to think, I won't try to change your mind or views on AI. You do you.

Could be useful to troubleshoot After Effects errors.
That if you can set it up only to do operations when the app is open.
I don't want any data in the background being sent to Open Ai.

I'll have to ask myself what's my privacy/functionality threshold for this app.
 
Sure! Here are some humorous positive and negative reactions you can post in the comments:

**Positive Reaction:**
"Wow, with the new ChatGPT Mac app, I finally have an excuse to talk to my computer and not seem crazy. Now if only it could do my laundry and dishes, I'd be all set!"

**Negative Reaction:**
"Great, now my Mac can judge me for my terrible coding skills AND my questionable taste in music. Thanks, OpenAI, for making my Mac smarter than me!"
 
You have to use your imagination and intelligence to find uses for tools like chatGPT.

Recently, Norway added more ethanol in petrol (gas) and here chatGPT was useful to me.

Can an Audi A3 convertible run on E10 petrol?
Yes, an Audi A3 convertible can run on E10 petrol. E10 petrol contains up to 10% ethanol mixed with petrol. Audi vehicles, including the A3 convertible, are generally compatible with E10 fuel. This compatibility applies to most petrol engines produced by Audi after 2005.

To ensure specific compatibility for your vehicle model and year, you can refer to your vehicle's owner's manual or contact an authorized Audi dealer. They can provide detailed information about fuel requirements and compatibility for your particular Audi A3 convertible.

Can you provide contact information for an Audi dealer in Oslo?
Here are the contact details for the main Audi dealership in Oslo:

Møller Bil Oslo Vest

  • Address: Lilleakerveien 16, 0283 Oslo, Norway
  • Phone: +47 24 03 24 03
  • Website: Møller Bil Oslo Vest
For further assistance, you can visit Audi Norway's website and use their dealer locator tool to find more dealerships in Oslo or other regions: Audi Norway Dealer Locator.

If you need to contact Audi customer service directly for any specific inquiries, you can also visit the international Audi website: Audi Global (Audi) (audi.com) (Audi).

A small thing which impressed me was it provided the dealer locator tool for Norway as an additional information without me asking for it.

I suggest you look around before calling it BS. That doesn’t help this discourse saying I’m spreading BS. Get a clue. It’s happening. I even did it myself letting one of my artists go with the Photoshop Beta.

I don't need to be told to look around by someone like you with such crap manners. The generative AI in Photoshop beta is garbage. This is my field and I test everything before you even wake up and hear about it. If anyone was working for you they should have walked out when they met you with the manners you have.

"It must be quite sad being an employee replaced by a bad LLM. Their work was valued so little that their employer didn't even need to wait for a good LLM before they were outcompeted."
Make the above into good English

chatGPT: "It must be quite sad to be an employee replaced by a subpar language model. Their work was valued so little that their employer didn't even wait for a decent model before they were outcompeted."

I know so many people that know so very little about history, technologies they use, language, general how-to on things around cooking or home repair, art, music, etc -- just pick the topic and they know about none of it if it's not "what celebrity X is doing" or whatever the latest dumb Netflix show is all about.

chatGPT is great for people who aren't into cooking. Here is a recipe for a butter sauce invented in my home city, a small provincial city in Norway about 70 years ago.

Can you give me the recipe for "Sandefjordsmør"?

Certainly! Sandefjordsmør is a traditional Norwegian butter sauce often served with fish. It's rich, creamy, and delicious. Here's a classic recipe for Sandefjordsmør:

### Ingredients:
- 200 ml heavy cream
- 200 g unsalted butter, cut into small cubes
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- Salt, to taste
- White pepper, to taste
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

### Instructions:

1. **Heat the Cream**: In a medium saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat until it begins to simmer. Do not let it boil.

2. **Add the Butter**: Gradually whisk in the butter cubes, a few at a time, allowing each addition to melt and incorporate fully before adding more. This helps to create a smooth, emulsified sauce.

3. **Season the Sauce**: Once all the butter has been added, stir in the lemon juice. Season with salt and white pepper to taste.

4. **Finish with Parsley**: Stir in the chopped fresh parsley.

5. **Serve**: Serve the Sandefjordsmør warm over your favorite fish, such as poached salmon or grilled cod.

Enjoy your Sandefjordsmør! It's a simple yet luxurious sauce that beautifully complements seafood dishes.

Says the guy with Shrek in his avatar, which is from a movie brought to life by hundreds of artists and creatives, based on a picture book written and drawn by a multi award-winning author.

That all used the modern technology to do so at the time. Those tools change. So if new tools let those hundreds of artists of Creatives be cut to just 80 for the EXACT SAME or better output, and that multi award-winning author decided that using AI was a better use of their time to tell the story they want. Will you STILL have a problem?

Because that's how technology has ALWAYS worked. You used to need dozens of people copying books to get them made to be sold around. Then the printing press replaced all those people doing it faster. Ballpoint replaced Fountain pen and let people write faster and longer. Typewriter then replaced pen, replaced with PCs that did your formatting and auto-correcting for you making it MUCH easier and faster to revise. Dictation tools made it even faster to put down your thoughts and ideas. Self-publishing then replaced a lot of people that had to help to get a book published.

Along the way staff and time were cut from the process on each iteration making it more and more easier for a single person to fill more roles themselves and remove others from the process. AI is just the next iteration.

if a person wants to write a children's book they no longer need to know how to draw and do editing and know publishers. They can put THEIR idea out there as they envision it and see how the world accepts it or not. Who knows how many great stories can be told by people that otherwise would have felt in over their head or like they were "to stupid" or "not skilled" enough to tell it.

On a personal note my 70+ father LOVES AI as he is dyslexic and is horrible with spelling and reading. He can now dictate what he wants to say in his own words and then just ask Copilot to "make this sound more professional" and then send the out put without worrying that the person on the other end is going to think some uneducated, double negative using, person that cant figure proper tense usage is sending the message. For the first time in his life he has confidence in his communication with others. He is now also using it on his phone to improve his messaging communication.
