ChatGPT

I had been using ai.com for months, as a convenient way to reach https://chat.openai.com/. Now it redirects to an Elon Musk website.

Presumably this means the domain was never controlled by OpenAI in the first place.

The official ChatGPT app on iOS integrates really easily and nicely with Apples Shortcuts apps, so doing stuff like summarizing a web page in one click (without having to do API stuff) is super simple for anyone. Is there an equivalent on Android?

@reddfugee42 suggested this. This is a turtle that I guided out of the busy road a couple of weeks ago.

I don't see the relationship to ChatGPT at all, but that's fan service for you.

Mission accomplished.

"Capitalist realism is dead." ~Digital Nietzsche

Summary: It has actually been a few months since my site came into existence. But being a newcomer to Lemmy I thought I'd post my experience once again here.

I had close to zero experience in web site development. I had never written a line of code in PHP nor used a PostgreSQL database, let alone creating and managing one.

However, I thought this lack of experience made me a good candidate to test just how powerful ChatGPT is. After two weeks of on-and-off construction, I finally completed a completely functional website that serves as an "online guest book" and is open for everyone to try out. A feat that I probably could never have achieved without any help.

Here are some of the amazing highlights of how ChatGPT helped:

• Debugging - I took the approach of using a website design software and incorporating snippets provided by ChatGPT. Very often, that would lead to unknown errors, and I just found myself copying and pasting the entire file and giving one single word of instruction to ChatGPT - debug. Time and again, it managed to pinpoint the errors after a few back and forths.

• Geolocation and other features - I just told ChatGPT what I wanted to do, and it pointed me in the right direction very quickly. In the case of geolocation, it led me to the right library to use that I had no idea about (geoip geolite2), walked me through the procedure to install it on my NAS, and got it up and running within something like one hour. I am absolutely certain it would have taken me days if not weeks to get it going given my programming background or lack thereof.

• Backend admin site (that only I get to use so no fancy formatting required) - I did not even have to write a single line of code for it. I just told ChatGPT what I wanted the backend admin site to do, and it churned out 4 files for me just like that (with the usual problem of stopping midway through then having to encourage it to continue). I told ChatGPT what errors I encountered with the files, and it kept revising the code until it started running smoothly after a few tries. Two hours later, the backend admin site was done.

Anyway, give this site a try and see what you think: https://www.stringtone.com. The concept is simple, and all of the intelligence and many of the security measures came directly from ChatGPT.

It has been a fun project, but yes, I still have no clue how I can construct something similar without getting ChatGPT's help.

I wrote MinimalGPT in about a weekend as a minimal chat client where everything is stored client side (chat messages aside obviously).

Entire conversations are stored local to your browser instead of a database etc…

Supports both GPT3.5 and GPT4 as well as basic DALL-E image generation. Possibly Bard integration in the future if anyone actually wants it.

The GitHub is available here

It’s nothing crazy, but for a simple chat client without any BS it is nice.

You have to provide your own API key but they hand them out like candy so have a blast!

Edit - Pushed out a small update that adds a toggle for auto saving new conversations. If disabled new conversations are only saved (locally) when you press the save icon.

After a conversation has been saved it is automatically updated/saved every time you send a message from there on out.

Hey all,

So one of the most pointless and infuriating parts of my job involves changing large portions of text from second person to third person. It's not enough to simply use Find and Replace in Word - the converted text has to actually make sense and not be super repetitive. It seems so easy, but I can't find an AI that can do this for large chunks of text; generally I'd need to convert around 5000 words each time, sometimes more. Because of the volume of my other work, I just don't have time to chop it up into pieces for ChatGPT.

Does anybody know of a tool that can do this? Thanks in advance!

Edit: Supposedly Google Bard can handle up to 20,000 words, but because my documents have bullet points and other formatting it completely throws it off. Even after pasting into Notepad and back into Bard, Bard still couldn't handle as many words as ChatGPT. It's so frustrating, because it seems like such an easy ask.

It seems like ChatGPT with the GPT-4 model is much worse now? It seems to ignore, or not pay "attention" to parts of my prompts, and is worse at following instructions than before. Anybody else noticing this, or am I just imagining it?

Last week, my credit card company misclassified my subscription as fraud, which caused my subscription lapse (I started my subscription back in January, I believe). Seems like resubscribing coincided with me noticing worse performance.

Edit: I mostly use ChatGPT to produce personalized code examples, or do code "translation" and refactoring.
