I use an iOS shortcut so I can talk to ChatGPT via Siri (who I can trigger with a voice command), which is good when I'm busy/occupied and have a question I want answered.

For example, when I'm driving around and listening to a podcast, sometimes they'll mention something I'm curious about. Since I'm driving I can't stop and google it, but I can go "Hey Siri, ask ChatGPT what Stephen Jay Gould was famous for" and ChatGPT will pause my podcast, answer the question (read by Siri), and then resume the podcast.

I've even used it to ask specific driving questions about my city that it answers surprisingly well ("Hey Siri, ask ChatGPT where the nearest free parking is to X event center"), as well as to play 20 questions on a long drive (she asked the questions, and eventually guessed the book I was thinking of pretty easily).

I also use it when I'm playing board games with friends and we have a question about the rules but don't want to flip through all the instructions. Lots of moments where it's just easier than unlocking my phone and googling something.

Use an LLM to create flashcards for Anki in the right format and knowledge level. Example for languages: Tell the LLM your current level and ask it to create a list of relevant words with translation plus an example sentence.

With ChatGPT (GPT-4) with enabled plugins I use AI PDF plugin to analyze and summarize papers for me.

The plugin Show Me Diagrams is used to generate all kinds of diagrams simply based on written instructions or from the PDFs previously fed into the chat.

Code Interpreter is extremely useful but I also use the DeployScript plugin to create tiny apps of limited, temporary use that I can share with friends and colleagues to assist on a small narrow use case.

Outside of ChatGPT, I locally run whisper.cpp to transcribe my speech when I'm in "manic" states and just babbling around and too unfocused to write things properly. That way nothing will be lost and I can then feed it into llama.cpp (using one of the many open-source large language models such as Llama2-30B) to clean, structure and summarize the rants into a cohesive piece of text I can add to my personal notes.

Rewind app on iPhone helps me keep track and easily search all my screenshots and Safari browser history, significantly improving my meta-memory.

Using ChatGPT, I translated the rental agreement from Estonian and had it point out and comment on unusual parts.

Use it to generate reasonable and clear market descriptions and resolution criteria for new MM questions.

I've used GPT-4 to have genuinely good text conversations across language barriers (Spanish and Portuguese). With people who I know and am used to talking with in not very good English. We often have misunderstandings, and there is a limit on how complex of a topic we could really discuss. I started throwing whole paragraphs into GPT-4 and asking it to translate it, sending it to them, and getting replies back in their native language, which I'd then put into GPT-4. Made me much better friends with two of them, since we felt less of a barrier to talking about things when we weren't worried about being misunderstood. Obviously... problems happen with translation, and I'm guessing there are better alternatives to GPT-4 for translation now, but I still use it out of laziness.

I know a friend who uses GPT to talk to a FICTIONAL CHARACTER which is NOT 'helpful' but HILARIOUS LMAOO

Ok- more serious answer. There is this GPT-4 plugin called ScholarAI, which is SUPER helpful. Like, amazingly helpful. Usually, you ask gpt a question and it gives out some super confident answer with no guarantee for real information. However, ScholarAI lets you search for scientific papers relating to any prompt which is so much more helpful than searching titles on google scholar. Ex: "What are some research papers that analyze the relationship between regular dental hygiene and contracting periodontal disease?"

In addition, gpt allows you to take these scientific papers and break the long bodies of text down - not used for quoting, but great for understanding the core concept of a paper.

"Please summarize the following paper for me: (...)"

GPT: "This study aimed to identify and validate protein biomarkers in saliva and gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) that can accurately differentiate between periodontal health and plaque-induced periodontal disease. The researchers recruited 190 participants from two centers in the UK and categorized them into healthy, gingivitis, periodontitis, and edentulous groups. They used quantitative mass spectrometry proteomics to analyze samples from the Birmingham cohort for biomarker discovery. Shortlisted candidate proteins were then confirmed using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays in both cohorts. The researchers employed leave-one-out cross-validation logistic regression analysis to determine the most effective biomarker panels.

The results revealed 95 proteins present in both GCF and saliva samples, and 15 candidate proteins were selected based on differences observed among the donor groups. The best-performing biomarker panels for distinguishing between health or gingivitis and periodontitis included matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP9), S100A8, alpha-1-acid glycoprotein (A1AGP), pyruvate kinase, and age, with an area under the curve (AUC) of 0.970. For distinguishing between health and gingivitis, the panel consisted of MMP9, S100A8, A1AGP, and pyruvate kinase (without age), with an AUC of 0.768. Lastly, for differentiating mild to moderate periodontitis from advanced periodontitis, the panel included MMP9, S100A8, A1AGP, pyruvate kinase, and age, with an AUC of 0.789.

In conclusion, the study found that biomarker panels comprising four proteins, with or without age as an additional parameter, can effectively discriminate between different periodontal health and disease states."
