    "What's the point of using it if you need to recheck everything almost all the time?"

    For me the hardest part about writing something is the kickoff. Asking ChatGPT to write for you gives good example(s) of how to do so and how to structure the piece.

    I'll use bits and bobs, cut and paste, edit bits into a final piece. So I'm using the AI outputs as 'notes' or a first rough draft - never as the final piece.

    Or I'll write something myself then ask ChatGPT to check it over and see what it thinks. To do this more effectively you can ask the AI to assume a role and then review the work.
    e.g. ChatGPT I want you to play the role of an expert in User Experience and review this report that I have written, how could I improve it?

    You + ChatGPT + Grammarly = Win! for writing sh*t!

    One of my colleagues has successfully used it to review data from a huge spreadsheet and find patterns which he then (obviously reviewed) and used in a report. Taking minutes rather than hours of manual datachecking.
    WHY would you NOT want to work to this advantage?!

    • Idk I learned to write in school

    • Overall using these tools for anything production is bad - you think you save time, but again you must edit/cut/recheck everything
      ********
    • "Taking minutes rather than hours of manual datachecking." Maybe that was HIS JOB and it will need just one error from Chatgpt & him missing it to lose that job
      ********
    • We tried to use it for decks, generating content - it was so bad we deleted half, then heavy edited the rest. It's really not worth it for serious stuff
      ********
    • Not to mention if anything happens with ChatGPT then maybe 80% of "secondary" AI startups will disappear also :))

    • Sorry to hear you've had bad experiences with ChatGPT. I think don't try to get it to do your work. Get it to help you do your work.microkorg
    • The more specific the instructions you give it, the better the results. And good data in = good data out.microkorg
