This will be a page where I try to explain what “generative AI” is – things like ChatGPT – and the marvelous ways you can use it for questions you have, even if nobody else in the world would ask it. That’s kind of the point: this thing is really brilliant, and you can ask it things forever, and it never gets tired of you.
For now this is disorganized, and I’m not telling hardly anyone it exists.
Health and fitness
Balance and Gait exercises: “From a friend: I have a pain in my back from a fall from a letter 40 years ago. Over time, now that I’m 79 it’s become more difficult to walk and I’m losing balance. So what would you recommend for the things I can do to improve my balance as well as improve my gait?” Note: at the end it suggests professional help: “Would your friend be open to seeing a physical therapist for an assessment? They could provide a tailored plan based on their specific limitations.“
Researching things
Video editing AI tools: “Do you have any video production skills? If I uploaded six clips and a script, could you turn it into a finished video? If you can’t, what AI tools can?”
Cooking help
I’m the most amateur cook in the world, and one thing that’s stopped me from learning more is that cookbooks are intimidating and full of paragraphs I don’t need. With GPT I just ask it the question that I want, nothing more nothing less. Then after its first answer, I continue the chat.
How to cook trout: “How do I cook rainbow trout indoors?”
Microwaving sausage guide: “How long should I microwave a 1/4 pound sausage at 1000W?” Includes a surprise turn of events – the sausage turned out to be way too spicy for me, so GPT taught me that you can neutralize such things using avocado and/or salt! Who knew??
Air Fryer Brussels Sprouts: “Roast Brussels sprouts in air fryer with seasoning.” Then: “How about something with far fewer ingredients? I’m a real rookie.”
Troubleshooting stuff
Prius laser parking assist problem: “I have a question about my 2021 Toyota Prius parking assist laser system. It’s snowing so for the first time in the car’s life the dashboard is beeping at me saying I have to clear the parking assist sensors. But I am on a highway so this makes no sense. How can I shut off this alert?” Note at end – I used the same fix during a business trip to Germany, on a BMW over there.
