Oh my goodness, I use Chat-GPT literally on a daily basis, and it has changed everything for me.
First thing, I wouldn’t use it for help with writing. It’s honestly pretty awful at it. It’s OK for ideas and maybe reorganizing things a bit, but don’t just have it write a large bit of text. It might sound smart but it’s so predictable and bland. But there’s so much more it can help with. I actually have Chat-GPT Plus, that I pay $20 a month for. First thing, I have it describe images. I know Be My AI can do that, but I mostly work on my computer and don’t want to put an image on my phone every time I want a description. Chat-GPT does an awesome job though. Next thing, I’m a bookkeeper and often have scanned receipts from clients. I used to have to OCR them, but yesterday I just tried uploading the receipt to Chat-GPT and asked it what it was for. It told me exactly what was on the receipt, the discounts applied, the total, tax, etc. I even asked for more information on each item because I hadn’t heard of them, and it proceeded to give me a detailed background for each one. I’ve had it search through PDFs for me to find information if I didn’t want to try to look through it myself. The possibilities are literally endless. The thing it’s weakest at is writing, yet that’s what most people seem to use it for. But it’s capabilities are insane. I haven’t used the iPhone app, just the web interface on the computer, so can’t speak to the accessibility.

I honestly want to understand how these things can be of help to me. But, not do all of the work for me. I am curious, does anyone here use Chat GPT? Or, Microsoft Co-Pilot? Not sure I spelled that last one correctly. If anyone here does use these Apps, or any others I might not be aware of, how accessible are they? Also, what might you use them for? I am currently attending a local community college. My goal is to hopefully get my Masters degree. I am a long way off from this though, and life could go in a totally different direction. I am also an older student. I don't even know if I will ever have a career. Anyway, one thing I would like to use Chat GPT for, is to get help with my writing. I never really learned how to write papers in high school. I feel so behind in this area. I am told all the time that I need to kind of learn to BS my way through stuff. However, I am not at all good with that sort of thing. Please understand, I do not want to cheat! Or, plagiarize anything. I really just want to use AI to help me with this huge struggle. I want help with structure, and all that. But, I want to make the paper my own. And, make changes where necessary. However, I also want to make use of these Apps, in other ways as well, if this can be beneficial for me. I just don't know enough, to know what I might be missing out on. I know we do have to be careful, when using any sort of AI. And, we need to be smart about what we do. I just think though that all of this stuff can really benefit us in a lot of ways. Thank you to anyone who has read this. Any thoughts, or advice will be very much appreciated. Terri -- The following information is important for all members of the V iPhone list.
