I never want it to change how it knows me

Been playing around with Sora lately and I've hit a little hurdle that it doesn't like. Whenever I ask it to add boobs to anything it won't generate the image.

Is there a workaround I can do?

I’ve been using this more & more in work since they’ve released 5, writing quotes, RAMS, reports, auto responding to emails, etc.
It’s actually starting to feel genuinely useful and saving me hours of mindless admin most days.

The new client mode is weird/cool watching it move the mouse & click around the screen to solve problems, crazy to think what it’ll be like in 5 years time.

What is this?

I use it every day for work, errors, scripting and general make me not look stupid queries.

Sorry it’s called “Agent mode” if you click the + menu next to the chat input.
It's spooky AF. I haven't used it in anger yet, but I tried to get it to create a Spotify playlist, actually in my Spotify account, and it was really weird watching it try, fail, bring up Google to search for workarounds and then follow the instructions it had found to solve the problem.

It still failed, but that was more of an external issue (Spotify blacklisting the internal browser OpenAI use IIRC).

So are you telling me it does things on your screen?

For example my smart home I could ask it to create me an automation in home assistant to turn my living room light off at midnight and it would do it?

Yeah I've been using it loads recently too.

It's helped me so much with excel formulas in the past few weeks that it's actually blown my mind how good it is when you feed it relatively decent information in the first place, by outlining your end goal and the current situation. Properly impressed.

I used Grok when it came out (still do tbf) but I do think this is better now. Either that or Grok has been throttled a tad so they can market their premium bundles better.

I've been using this so much lately in day to day life and with work that I've even start paying monthly for it. I even had it look at my last 3 bank statements and had a breakdown of the non essential spending habits, it's done a gym routine for me, it pings me every morning what my stocks are worth. It really has become my personal assistant.

I've started using it loads lately aswell. Had it redesign the front of my house, write code for a little Arduino project I've been doing, and even creating simple CAD files that I can then 3D print. Loads of stuff I'd never normally be able to do

Are people installing chatGPT as an app or is it all web based?

I really feel like this is going to be one of them things you either get to terms with or shout at clouds about in a few years.

Yeah I just got the Windows app for it. Have we spoken about NotebookLM on here too? It's brilliant, I've just installed the iOS app of that as using it more regularly.

I think it's very dangerous, especially in the workplace.
Every time I've ever coded something for someone it's just used by the user base as an excuse to forget how to do their job, despite having done it manually for 200 years.
Then, when it doesn't work, for whatever reason, the users are sat blaming the tool, rather than doing what they always done before.
It just breeds a bigger idiot.

I dread to think how many people are just banging in unchecked outputs into a system somewhere.

I use, well, used it, for getting chunks of code down quickly and tweaking it, but I'd never just use it's code natively.


(AI is banned in my workplace, but not for those reasons, I think)

Can it read PDF data?

I was using Gemini (or trying to ) for work to figure out access times for the port. It pulled some random tide data which was miles out and said it couldn't read specific files that I tried to upload.

Yes it can.
You could also convert a pdf to doc(x) if that opens up more opportunity.
It only really works on clean pdfs though.

I have started using it less, my workplace are really pushing it's use though.

I was primarily using it for helping with writing and research. I found myself losing writing skills and becoming very lazy on the research side, I enjoy research too so why shortcut it?

Just this week I've reverted to writing without it, and also doing research manually myself, I've already found myself less bored at work now I'm not just blindly asking chatgpt to do a lot of the work that might require some thinking.

I've had to write about 30 blog post type articles for our new company website. We agreed a bunch of titles along with a couple of sentences 'brief' for it, and just set it loose. It's been absolutely bang-on, really legally accurate, including links to HMRC, GOV.UK and ACAS articles and requiring very little tidying up, if anything. Turned a good week's worth of work into about a morning.

It’s an incredibly powerful tool to streamline things in the right circumstances, but if not used appropriately it does turn people into morons.

We have already started to have real problems recruiting graduates who can do stuff without it, take the crutch away and they are nowhere. That’s a big problem, because if the answer isn’t already out there on the internet it’s useless and, even worse, it just goes and makes credible sounding bullshit up. It’s like Google dependencies on steroids.

With respect, you have to be equally clever to use it to it's full advantage.

If people are punching in s**t to it and:

A - You're fully relying on it to be 100% accurate
B - You think that's all you have to do without proof reading it
C - Give it garbage input and expect non garbage output

Then they're whole heartedly, a massive cretin.

It's like anything, you have to be skilled to use it to get the full potential out of it.

I've been using it to fine tune some 3d print settings and to begin with it was absolutely s**t

Just like any decent software tool. Excel was a godsend for anyone doing anything vaguely numerical but there are still people out there using a handheld calculator to add two cells together.

But that's entirely my point.
You dont have to be intelligent to use it, in any capacity and cretins are the overwhelming majority in most workplaces.
It's exactly what makes it lethal.

People will be using it, blindly trusting it and either making business decisions based on it, or feeding it into a business system influencing the data in some way.
This will stand true for intelligent people - as a dev, I've seen first hand the dangers of autonomy from people of all levels of intellect.

Anias workplace worries me.
At first ania started using it to paraphrase emails, as a non native speaker it helped where she got prepositions wrong etc.

She told her other polish friend, who is a lot worse than ania in respect of language and grammar.
That's led to the friends using it to compose the emails entirely & so it's likely to be input s**t, or not notice s**t on output.
At this point, it's only a potential miscommunication, but it's providing a great assistance to her.

However, she also struggles with the accountancy side - and I'm certain she will be asking it for support in that.
This is then drives payments to be made to suppliers etc and will only be noticed at month end reconciliation, potentially for 80+ companies.
Currently she would stop and ask, but if she feels she can look like her understanding is better, she will, but at what risk?

Just thinking some more.
In 10 years time, will there be a guy with a hammer, knowing where to tap, or will gpt tell you where to tap?
