ChatGPT is an AI chatbot, developed by OpenAI, that can engage in human-like conversations and generate various text formats, including articles, emails, and code, based on the prompts it receives.
Denver uses ChatGPT daily for both business and personal use
You can have live interaction with ChatGPT where you can actually talk with the AI program using a microphone
Example of this, Denver had to fix his boat motor and suspected something was wrong with the fuel line. Able to turn on the camera on his computer to show it to ChatGPT who helped diagnose the problem in real time.
Another example is you can use ChatGPT for cooking to help with recipes
It’s important to understand how you frame the questions to ChatGPT, to get the best answer as possible. ChatGPT can create work docs and summary docs.
Common use is as an editor to what you write.
Denver uses ChatGPT to help with his weekly newsletter. He will voice text into his phone the Notes. Then he copies those notes into the AI program and it helps create and write the newsletter. Then Denver can make edits on it.
Can also upload previous docs that you have written, so the AI can figure out your writing style, and philosophy. Then the AI can write future docs in your style.
The speed of AI is amazing where it literally saves you time and makes you more efficient.
AI program can even read PDFs and screenshots, or you can give it a link to a video and it can pull the audio transcript.
AI can be used as a teacher to discover new things, and even as a psychologist.
There is a tech arms race going on in AI with programs like Microsoft Copilot, Google Bard, ChatGPT, and now Deepseek.
