When it's not crashing, and you don't get stuck in a response loop, it works pretty well

Did you have to give up your phone number to register for chatGPT?

[@sebastianjost]

I don't think so. If I remember correctly you just need an email, but I may be wrong

[@flethacker]

@@sebastianjost it asks for phone number

[@r0njaIsCute]

Doesn't ChatGPT use your input for further prompts?

The prom it will be better if u give it a parameter of evaluation like "according to this resume what will be the chance .... For this person by this kind of persona.

I wonder if chatGPT is capable of putting together a research paper? I don't mean doing research, but rather provide the structure of what should be in a research paper. If it can, could help a lot with procrastination.

It can certainly write college essays. You ask it to "write an outline of a sophomore-level essay on the topic of X", then for each outline title, ask it to "In a few paragraphs, explain how Y". Do that repeatedly and you get a very good outline, then you just fill in the details and citations.

Your applying for a PHD in machine learning but cant figure out how the program wrote content about your specific interests...when you gave it your phone number (thus your id) and your google account (thus your entire online history)..... gee I wonder how it could possibly know that....

Pretty sure they'd need to ask permission to access search history and the like. Also pretty sure ChatGPT just doesn't have that capability.

[@flethacker]

@@orik737 like how they ask permission to grab the copyrighted internet content/code and repackage it for its own uses? look up the trillion dollar class action suit against Github / copilot going on. These tech companies operate on the hybris of 'ask for forgiveness not permission' basis
