I have. It was a very interesting exercise. I’ve asked it to calculate how long it would take to reach alpha centauri with the best ion engine made. It asked for more specific information, I tossed some numbers in and watched it do the math. All I could do is go “WOW”!

That's great.

Sometimes I get frustrated with it and then I see that my prompt/question wasn't clear enough (makes me feel like an idiot).

But on many other occasions, I simply have to marvel at the things it does.

It seems that the secret to using it successfully (so far at least) is just to keep pushing ahead and not give up.

I spent about 4 hours one night trying to get it to give me the code for a really sticky stock analysis I was working on. I thought I might just be way in over my head. I was about to give up when it (the AI) suggested I might be doing something wrong and asking the wrong question.

I was fed up but went ahead and recheck my question (which was getting pretty complicated for me to follow)...and I found this tiny little error in my question.

I fixed it and ChatGPT gave me the revised code.

I didn't test it until the next morning but it was perfect.

I am embarrassed to say it was my fault all along.
