Unique Ideas for Utilizing the ChatGPT Model

I think you can ask it to emulate any interactive system.

It's basically a new programming paradigm.

Here I create a person named "Fred" by telling ChatGPT only to interact with me as this person named Fred who has his own thoughts / feelings / goals / etc and to not break character - https://softwaredoug.com/blog/2022/12/03/meet-fred.html

Here I create a search engine where it indexes documents I provide in a specific syntax I tell it about, then recalls the most relevant document for search queries

Today I was thinking that a cool product idea to utilise it would be to create a Furby-like toy for children but one that's actually not terrifying and speaking normally, that would answer hundreds of questions children have about the world around us. Funnily enough I asked ChatGPT what it thinks about this idea and it replied that this idea is pretty terrible, giving some very good reasons for it (citing among other things that the responses might not be truthful, and the children might get a false sense of bonding with an AI that sounds almost like a human but isn't one).

Meta idea: who do you know that does not interact with very many other tech people, and what is their domain expertise?

Talk to them about their needs, and throw together at least 10 prototypes, preferably while you’re talking. Trying some thing is just so cheap, and I bet you’ll be surprised about what works well, and what does not. by the time you are done, I bet you will have a unique insight on how it can provide value to some niche

You can ask ChatGPT itself.

As a shortcut for burocratic procedures - project summaries, applications, "letters of intent", checking contracts or writing parts of them, translating techno-speak to presentation-comparible language etc. I already found a few uses in just a few days. Most importantly, it helped me to translate a doctors letter for elder relatives

A smart speaker that’s actually somewhat “smart” and doesn’t regurgitate a list of pre-approved phrases.

It could be use to augment writing blog posts.

1. Write the blog post.

2. See what ChatGPT would have come up with.

3. Decide if there are any points or topics it came up with that change your mind on the original post.

4. Redraft by hand.

So... not using ChatGPT to create blogspam, but rather as an neuron trigger of sorts.

You could use ChatGPT to be helpful in giving astrological predictions. This will help people find a window of opportunity in time and space to help them lead meaningful lives.

What about complex specific recommendations (music, movies, book, travel, product...) : I love #A very much, #B is Okay, and I hate #C and #D. what should I do?
