I’m using GPT regularly and the best thing is asking a few questions after the first one, to refine and tune answers.
This is where there’s no going back to search engines: GPT is much smarter than search, giving me a summary and sources. Can’t get better than that.
The problem for me is how much I give to OpenAI. With Google, they were getting my thoughts.
OpenAI gets my reasoning.
I’m not happy about this. Yet like old days Google, GPT is so good I can’t not use it. For all my design research, it is and has been excellent at helping me out decipher a bunch of stuff. Every week.
Meanwhile I realize that I now basically don’t believe any picture on the internet. Sometimes I do, for twenty seconds when I think “no way” and then I think “Photoshop+AI, right”.
I barely trust videos and the trend is trusting them less and less. We always say that we’re visual creatures. OK, and we look at fake stuff all the time, online or in real life when we look at SZA. We ain’t right.
It adds to the current strangeness of this (sort of) post-pandemic world.
