I learned my wife's cousin's baby was named Charles. Charles' cousins names are Henry and James. This got me thinking... where are these names coming from? I asked ChatGPT for books in the fiction genre that include those 3 names for characters and voila: To Kill a Mockingbird, Pride & Prejudice, and A Tale of Two Cities were listed.

asked GPT to prepare a running practice for my next run :)
Come up with interview questions for a round of subject matter interviews I have coming up.
@ronniehiggins This sounds like a super interesting use case. Can you elaborate a tiny bit? What prompt did you use?
@ryangilbert Yeah. So the chat didn't start with me asking for questions but asking ChatGPT to analyze content about the topic using the Bing and link reader integrations then tell me why the content wouldn't satisfy my audience's needs and make recommendations for fulfilling them.
From there I told ChatGPT that I was going to conduct interviews to gather the material required to fill the gap left open by existing content on the topic and asked it to come up with some questions.
as a content creator, i used chatgpt everyday to brainstorming about my contents or just the ideas
Every day yes!
I use it daily. Product Requirements, BRS, Book Summaries and getting examples of real world implementation of these books, Assisting in explaining code snippets and more examples with video recommendations, figuring out how to build WordPress-related customizations, Been teaching it Midjourney prompting, Created a Python course to learn 20% of the info that gets used 80% of the time focused on Business Intelligence for Product Managers, created a 6-week Mentorship program for UX interns, DId a personal SWOT analysis, content writing and rewriting, personal writing style analysis, Research, Idea generation, copywriting. Just to mention a few.

Nope, last time around a month ago 😇
Absolutely! Have come to be super dependent on it
Almost every to rephrase copywriting or to do creative thinking
I run my tweets through ChatGPT before I post.
Prompt: Check grammar.
Nope been on holiday 🤪
write marketing copy
I've been using it to help edit some of my blog posts based on a technique I adapted from the New York Times's Kevin Roose.
First, I prompt ChatGPT by asking: What are the principles of Strunk and White's 'The Elements of Style'?
Once a response has been generated, I follow up with this prompt:
Using the principles outlined above, please rewrite the following blog post. Rewrite my input following Strunk and White's principles, and provide a detailed explanation of what you changed and why, sentence by sentence.
Here's the blog post: [insert text]
ChatGPT will rewrite it and then provide a detailed breakdown of what it changed and which principles it used for each change. It's super handy when you're trying to condense or simplify any writing (not just blog posts).

@matthew @matthew_ritchie can you not just ask it to apply Strunk and White's 'The Elements of Style'? Does it need to regurgitate them first?
@chrismessina You can do that, too. I've found that asking ChatGPT to list out the principles first provides better results, though. It seems to give it more concrete examples to go off of and helps if you want ChatGPT to explain more thoroughly why it's suggesting each change.
An example I've been experimenting with is using a more modern grammar and style guide, Dreyer's English by Random House copy chief Benjamin Dreyer. If I prompt ChatGPT to list out "the principles" of the book vs. "the main grammar and style principles," the results will vary. Subsequently, when you put in text for ChatGPT to edit, it will focus on different aspects of your writing based on the output from the first query.

Yes - to help me rework/edit some copy. Pretty much 9/10 times that’s what I use it for and it’s a great rubber duck for copywriting.
To summarize case law for research purposes.

Used it in an attempt to rewrite a shellscript for an Alfred Workflow. It got it wrong. 😞
@chrismessina As soon as I read "attempt"... 😅 haha
