Re: Chat GPT, Anyone?

I haven’t tried it but I’m wondering if it could format a book for Kindle 
something you might normally hire a copy editor to do. I’d have to get somebody 
sighted to look it over and see what kind of job it did.

I use it regularly and it works really well, though it has limits. I use it to 
help with writing, sometimes to help with programming, to brainstorm ideas, 
etc. It’s definitely insane how far things have come in such a short time.

BTW you don’t necessarily need the app: there is a web interface as well.

Re: Chat GPT, Anyone?

2023-07-10 Thread Gabe Griffith
Hi, 

I don't have it but one of my colleagues at work does and we've played around 
with it. I've seen it do anything from write a song to plan a 3-day tour of San 
Francisco to write a scary good outline of a speech on universal accessibility 
and only take a couple of seconds for any of them. 

I also saw a demonstration a while back of the AI ability for Be My Eys that is 
still in beta. It did a great job not only describing a picture but you could 
interact and ask follow-up questions. 

I keep saying that as a blind person I'm pretty exçited about what this 
technology can do but as a human I find it pretty scary. LOL

Chat GPT, Anyone?

2023-07-10 Thread M. Taylor
Hello All,

Just so you know, I am posting this to both lists.

So I keep running into all kinds of news articles on Chat GPT, a product
from the Open A I project.

Has anyone downloaded the app from the App Store and, if so, are you finding
it as amazing as some of the news reporters from USA Today and the
Wallstreet Journal?  

I went to the website at chat.openai.com to see what I could find.  I did
not find much; I'll have to download the app to really check it out.

Oh, the article I read today, in the Apple News app talked about how Chat
GPT planned the writer's vacation itinerary and did a pretty good job of it,
apparently.

I look forward to reading your replies,

Mark

The App Store should show you which applications you've downloaded, and 
offer an opportunity to download them again.

There are plenty online converters. What do you think of using one of them?
