One more idea to level this up further: The longer your conversations with ChatGPT, the more its context will "decay". That is, it'll struggle to pull in the things you discussed at the beginning of the conversation. It's why Chaz stopped being British. Best-practice is to carve out specific jobs-to-be-done into standalone conversations. For example, a conversation about writing web copy. A conversation where he edits your longform blog posts. A journaling conversation. Chaz will seem more cohesive this way, and better call back earlier parts of your conversation.
A favorite use case of mine: “Organize the below data into a data or columnar format that can easily be copied and pasted into excel: (copy/past PDF full of data to ChatGPT)
My favorite is having ChatGPT help write code.. I know just enough coding to know what is possible and get a basic idea of what the code is doing. But having a tool I can say in plain English what I want done and then I can make little changes is SUCH A TIMESAVER.
Pretty impressive stuff. I thought I was smart using GPT to write me blurbs for my cover letter specific to the jobs I was applying to by feeding bits of my stock cover letter and sections of the job post I was applying to. I also primed it to ask me potential interview questions as well based on said job descriptions and then used it to refine my answers to said questions based on my resume.
Omg!!!! I am usually blunt and direct in my responses, . I have also been using chat gpt to 'tone down' and make light hearted using tone of Tina Fey. Thanks this is great. So along with finesse my excel formulas and editing this is an amazing use case especially for solopreneurs!
Another favorite use case: “I’m using the below complex formula, but it is resource intensive, slow to recalculate, and sometimes crashes the spreadsheet. What more efficient formula could I use in its place to accomplish the same result? (Copy/paste existing formula)”
I just tried to have Chaz learn all about me and I posted many conversations with other CPA's and my website and my LinkedIn profile. And then asked it what my long term plan should be while opening my new practice. I kid you not - it told me all the things I needed to do while opening my dental practice lol. What am I feeding chaz wrong that it is so clueless?
@@MoetheCPA Think of who the perfect person to assist you with that task would be. Maybe it's an HBR writer, a data analyst, or a novelist. Describing the perfect person to handle the task you need doing is usually the best place to start.
I wasn’t sure that Chaz was compounding its learning over time, so thanks for confirming that. In your pinned comment, you mentioned that context will decay with longer conversations. Do you mean over days/months or in one sitting? By conversation, do you mean one session or the whole conversation history? Thank you!
Yeah it will decay based on length, not passage of time. It's limited by a max amount of "context". GPT-4 now enables more context, up to 25k words, but essentially it will only remember the last 25k words in a conversation (the whole history, whether it happened in this session or not). But there are ways around this. For example, if you instruct it to always summarize what's gotten you to this point in the conversation, then that summary will still be in the last 25k words. But everything pre-25k will start falling off.
Do you have to “train Chaz” every time you use ChatGPT? Or do you have various threads trained for different purposes that you continuously go back to?
I like this but you make light of replacing people with AI. Not a good idea. Many employees are sitting on pins and needles worrying about being replaced. Some surveys suggest this is an over reaction as many employers simply want employees to use AI to allow them to do more and do it more efficiently. I'm sure some people will be replaced but the smart ones will get up to speed on using AI. I wouldn't joke so much about replacing people.

a year later, you now have to turn off the "memory" setting that allows each chat to pull information from other chats.

Same! Killer for scripting, or for telling you what you got wrong in your code. Writing regex as well 💯

@@jasoncpa what is the first few things to say to make it know I want it to be my assistant?

@@jasoncpa Thank you very much. I'm late to the game, but the good thing is that you've figured out so much of it already. I appreciate your insight!
@@smoothsailing4biz You bet! We're all figuring it out together
Thanks for the video, are you able to link or post the editorbot prompt?
Do you have to “train Chaz” every time you use ChatGPT? Or do you have various threads trained for different purposes that you continuously go back to?
Generally I'll either keep coming back to a session, or save a prompt to my notion and drop that prompt into a new session
Are you doing this with the free or paid version?
Just the vanilla free
Great stuff!
Share the prompt once you get your OZ Chaz sorted!
reminder, you're british, bub
You are encouraging the end of the society by enabling AI Jason. Have you not seen The Terminator sir?
After the last few years I'm ready to put it all on the line James

As an accountant your videos are a waste of time, change your title. Are you even a CPA?
Stop rambling and get to the point
There was no point 😂
Annoying
