I've been experimenting with using ChatGPT for worldbuilding, including NPC dialog and stuff. I was rather satisfied with the results, that is until I saw your comment. The text it generated for you is very similar to what it gave me. The style is immediately recognizable, the structure is extremely similar, and in case of "For I am Grimgor Blackfist, the most feared warrior in the land, and no one can stand against me." I literally got the same sentence with a few words changed.
I wonder if it's possible to customize the prompt in order to make the output more unique otherwise everyone who is using ChatGPT for fantasy writing will end up with very samey and super recognizable style.
I consider obligatory 20% tipping as that weird American thing along with guns and (absence of) healthcare. People have elaborate arguments and discussions about them, and the side in favor can look very rational and plausible, and their hypotheses can even have a lot of explanatory power, but they are easily refuted by looking at basically every other developed country.
I travel a lot and eat out a lot and I haven't noticed any discernible difference in service between the countries with obligatory, optional and prohibited tipping.
Same, never got any headaches from any screens. Regardless of the type of the screen, lighting or viewing position. Have been using computers for almost 25 years, with many 10h days and occasionally 15+ hours.
As I got older I started getting neck pain though, if I sit too awkward. But still no headaches ;)
The crucial difference is that at no point I felt I was stuck. I could paste any line of code into ChatGPT and ask it to explain it. Practically every time I got a meaningful and valuable explanation, moreover the explanation was in the context of my code. Similarly all functions it generated were matching the context of my code so I could just copy and paste it and it just worked, most of the time.
Rather than going through Google and Stackoverflow it felt like working side-by-side with a moderately competent developer. Mind you, I have tried the google-and-stackoverflow method before for the exact same thing, and failed every time ;-)
I have been developing a hobby project (AI powered document search) for a few months and was in sore need of a frontend. My frontend development skills however are stuck in late 1990s and I have zero skill with anything but plain HTML and a little bit of JS. Several times I tried learning React, reading tutorials, watching videos, but the whole idea of it was very removed from how I learned to code, so I gave up every time.
Today, I asked ChatGPT to develop the React app for me. ChatGPT guided me through the entire process starting from installing npm and necessary dependencies. The commands it suggested sometimes didn't work but every time I just copy-pasted the resulting error message into ChatGPT and it offered a working solution. I gave it the example of JSON output from my API backend and it generated the search UI which, to my surprise, worked.
My wet dream for the past few months was to implement infinite scrolling for my search. Again, after hours of google searches, tutorials, etc. I just gave up every single time. Not today. I asked ChatGPT to add infinite scrolling to my app. It wasn't easy. It didn't produce a working app immediately, it took a couple hours of conversations: I had many questions how different parts of React worked, how to fix errors etc. etc. In the end however, I had my working search app, and with infinite scroll to boot!
I haven't done a single google search or consulted any external documentation to do it and I was able to progress faster than I have ever did before when learning a new thing. ChatGPT is, for all intents and purposes, magic.
This is blatantly untrue. Venezuelan bolivar has lost 100% of its value (within a rounding error) - current exchange rate is something like 800 trillion of old bolivars to USD. Argentine peso is doing somewhat better than bitcoin this year, only losing 40%, but you don't have to go far back for it to become much, much worse. In the entire history of bitcoin there are very few periods when you'd come out on top holding argentine pesos rather than bitcoins.
I wonder if it's possible to customize the prompt in order to make the output more unique otherwise everyone who is using ChatGPT for fantasy writing will end up with very samey and super recognizable style.
