ChatGPT doesn't do anything
Discussion
I downloaded ChatGPT this week onto my desktop, as work are obsessed with Copilot and we are being told to use it for everything.
ChatGPT has been answering basic questions, but it can't cope with anything else. I have been uploading basic images from our travels on there and asking it to add things to to it, for example add a giraffe to this family photo. It goes through the motions and asks the right questions, promising to do it, then when it goes to do it, it just gives a black circle of doom and no result. One of the requests stayed this way for a week.
No issues with connection or hardware here. Not impressed.

What is it you do that requires you to use ChatGPT for everything at work?
Copilot. If I told you you, you wouldn't believe me, and I'd likely lose my job.kestonian said:
Have you considered asking ChatGPT? A number of people in the workplace find it quite effective at answering such questions.
Well, convincingly respond.Answering kind of implies doing so correctly.
Imo if your work says “using it for everything” then worry. Mostly at your business being simpletons who’re sold on the concept before even understanding it.
If they’re showing you specifically how use it and add value, then great.
For editting pictures I find Gemini far better.
Lately, I have found ChatGPT is getting obtuse. Ask a question and it keeps not quite answering and just asking another question. It has been like having an awkward employee who would not quite answer a question straight, waffle around the point and then comes back with another question. I have to get demanding with it to get the straight answer....or now I just give up and use Gemini.
ChatGPT has given me inaccurate stats too (obviously wrong) and it just says 'Thanks for pointing that out' and then gives me the correct data. What is the point it I have to validate the answer it gives me?? (I cannot remember the precise example but it has happened more than once......)
And also I get the circle of death when editting images.....

As with a human employee, results vary depending on "how" you ask.
It's trained with generated human data, but human type responses are are not generally what I want, so I have a bunch of prompts saved to improve the responses I get which works well. I find it a useful tool when used well, but there's many things it's also rubbish at - just like people.
I use it out of habit, but personally I find the stuff deepmind produce is much more interesting and cutting edge.
For example, have a look at this: https://deepmind.google/blog/genie-3-a-new-frontie...

Copilot+ is a bit <meh>
ChatGPT is average with images. It's good for some other things.
Claude.AI is good for coding.
Gemini is largely good for image manipulation.
All are not equal, all have variable costs and you need to also know how to best create the prompt.
Top tip: use the AI chat interface to first fine-tune the prompt, end your text with "help me improve this prompt before creating the image"
