A real random: everyone these days says to ask ChatGPT for everything. Am I the last person in the world who hasn't signed up? I had the thought the other day of asking it to do a meal plan for me, but for some reason THIS is where I draw the line at giving out my email address online, even though I consciously know I already have no privacy?
Also, yesterday the police came to my home looking for my ex who apparently has some traffic court thing today and did not update his address when he renewed his driver's license or for any of the elections we've had in the 7 years since he's lived here. I would totally turn off his electricity without warning him if I had the chance because he's a lazy, inconsiderate jerk who deserves it.
I haven’t really used ChatGPT for anything yet because the opportunity hasn’t really presented itself.
This week is flying by. I can’t believe we’re already 9 days into November. MIL arrives a week from today for Thanksgiving, so my meal planning is already going wonky — she has a limited palate which knocks out many of my go-to dishes.
I’m salty about the fact that tomorrow is the day to observe Veterans Day, and I’m the only one in my family who has to work….and I’m the veteran. I am taking part in a ceremony that I’ve been helping to plan, which should be nice and meaningful, but I’d really just like the day to be able to reflect instead of running around.
I used ChatGPT for the first time a few weeks ago to name the course I'm teaching over the winter. Idk why, but I was kind of surprised it knew the difference between punny and funny. So if anyone wants to take a hilarious class on CRISPR and personalized medicine, lmk.
I got a new cookbook yesterday and all I want to do is stay home and bake. (It's called Bake Smart and the recipes are SO interesting!)
I haven’t used ChatGPT nor has it been on my radar to do so. I like technology and all but eh, I tend to get along fine for the most part. Maybe someday?
It’s not even 5am yet and I’m fully awake, which is super frustrating - and it’s a day I have off. Ugh! I’m spending part of the day with my mom so that’ll be fun but a potentially long day.
Last week or so someone on one of the boards was looking for Uggs for their daughter and they were no longer available at Costco as some posters suggested. I wanted to share that last night I was looking for something else on Costco’s site and they seem to have a couple pairs listed now. Of course I can’t find that thread now, so if anyone remembers who that was please share that they might want to check Costco now.
I’ve used my company’s internal version of chatGPT, but I haven’t used THE ChatGPT. For some reason I’m just sick of hearing about it and makes me oddly mad. I feel like my refusal to use it is like me digging in my heels over it. I don’t know, I get weird about things sometimes and I work in tech!
My random - We’re off tomorrow for Veterans’ Day and I could not be more thrilled. I am SO OVER work right now and just do not have the mental capacity to deal with a 5-day work week. I need to break out of this rut asap.
As long as there are no kids in the house and no elderly parents I'd fully support you pulling the plug emilyinchile.
I've used Chatgpt once so far and it did a good job. Maybe as I learn more I'll see more opportunities in my daily life to use it, it's just not something that crosses my mind often yet.
Not much for phone calls, but when I do call people to catch up I tend to call several to get it all done. I talked to two dear friends last night and now have plans for a weekend in December and for 3 weekends next year. Also talked to my brother and we have Thanksgiving and Christmas plans finalized.
I used ChatGPT and I didn't have to put in an email? Maybe I used the wrong one? LOL! I used it to phrase some things in my mid-point at work because I was hoping for a nicer way to say I had to do people's jobs for them and also assist in HR issues, but wasn't the decider, so don't hold me accountable when things didn't happen. I didn't find it super useful for either scenario.
I was talking to one of my younger CWs about figuring our the wifi on our cruise because I am the venmo POC for the holiday party and I'm out the week before the party. She was like "You can do airplane mode and wifi" and I feel like I knew this, but forgot and I was like "thank you because this old lady was not sure WTF to do."
My company has it's own version of ChatGPT and I have used it a few times. I send out various communications to my organization and sometimes I just don't have the headspace to wordsmith something, so I use it in those circumstances.
I had my Lip Blushing touched up yesterday and went a little bit darker with the color. The color that I originally had done was beautiful, but I ultimately wanted something just a bit richer. I didn't swell nearly as badly this time and they look so pretty today.
My boss is obsessed with ChatGPT and it drives me nuts. AI has a place, but geez. I am admittedly a slow adopter though.
I have used it a couple of times, initially to create scavenger hunt clues for DS2’s birthday party. A friend from work sent me a graphic a coworker created using it though and it was pretty great. It’s a picture of rough waters with offshore wind turbines and the back end of the turbine is spilling money into the water. (Offshore wind is turning out to be an incredibly expensive form of renewable energy and the graphic it created is perfect political satire fodder.)
I’m on a plane getting ready to head to NYC for the rest of the week. Looking forward to a low key few days with a friend. I’m excited for bagels and pastries and to see Book of Mormon.
We used ChatGPT to write a text for my daughter’s baptism. My husband was really frustrated. He was struggling to come up with something different from her sister’s. He was annoying me with his frustration so I told him to just use ChatGPT. He was against it until I downloaded the app, and got a great text in less than 5 min. He was impressed with the quality of the text so he used 90% of it lol.

The dog woke me up at 5:30 this morning for no good reason, so I got up a little early. I figured I had more time and could stop for a coffee on the way to work. My coworkers got my a SB gift card as a thank you/encouragement for leading a training on Tuesday night that was a slight shit show. We pulled it off, but I guess I was a little frazzled because they thought I needed an encouragement gift lol. I am super appreciative that they thought of me enough to do that, especially because at my old job they would have never. But I'm always mad at myself(?) for letting the situation effect me so much that they noticed. I need to work on that. I should just be grateful for the gift (and I am) but my brain just doesn't work that way.
I have not used ChatGPT, but I get the appeal as like 90% of the documents I create at work start from ones from other programs that we just tailor to our own stuff, particularly high-level strategy and planning docs.
Feeling unprepared for some stuff happening the last few days of Nov into the first few days of Dec and low-key panicking, but there's honestly not a lot I can be doing right now to get ready so....
I have never used chatgpt. To be honest, I have no idea what I would use it for and no interest whatsoever. Same as Siri and Alexa so I’ve never used those either. For some reason in my mind it’s entirely and only used for cheating/plagiarism, even though I realize there are non-cheating reasons to use it.
I've used ChatGPT a handful of times. Once to start a letter of recommendation for a student, which I then adapted to sound a little more like me, and another time to help make a meal plan. I just told it to give me 5 recipes that were X amount of Weight Watchers points or less, and it helped me get started when I was stuck and couldn't think of anything.
We have DS's parent teacher conference at 12:15. I'm assuming it will go well, since I haven't heard from the teacher about anything this year, but I guess you never know so I'll be a little anxious until that's over.
I have never used ChatGPT either. I'm not opposed to it, just haven't really thought about it or had the need I guess.
I am off tomorrow, which is a new holiday for my company. H, who works in banking, has to work. That surprised me. I guess they get a floating/comp day for it though. One of our favorite neighborhood breakfast places just relocated to a new/larger building and DS has been asking to go since they opened last week. The 3 of us were going to go tomorrow morning since I thought we were all off. I guess H will miss out, LOL. Or maybe we'll wait until Sunday.
I think I am going to decorate for Christmas tomorrow. I am always a wait till after Thanksgiving person and do it on the Friday after. But I have shopping and brunch plans with a friend that Friday and the weekend is busy. I don't want to wait until the following weekend. It's so much work for a month of decor. I'd rather enjoy it longer.
I use bing's version of ChatGPT but most of the time we just use it to make up ridiculous pictures because it's funny lol.
So last year we had trouble with DS not doing any work in school. We went through a battery of testing and he got on ADHD meds and things have been much better. But the past two weeks he started coming home with unfinished math packets. He told me 1) he gets distracted or 2) he doesn't know what to do. I don't think 2 is necessarily true because he does them just fine at home, but maybe the distraction makes it hard for him to understand what to do. He also told me he just doesn't want to do them.
I don't understand how to make my kid understand that he has to do schoolwork even if he doesn't want to do it! So if anyone has any suggestions for that, I would appreciate it. But he literally tells me he just doesn't see the point. He is a very smart kid but just wants to do what he wants to do and sees no value in doing stuff he doesn't want to do. Which like I get, but sometimes you just got to suck it up kid!
He has a 504 and his teacher is supposed to be checking in on him, but I am not sure that is happening, which is somewhat frustrating since to me it seems like an easy accommodation. But I know his class is crowded, so maybe she really doesn't have the time? I sent her an email about it all anyway.
The dog woke me up at 5:30 this morning for no good reason, so I got up a little early. I figured I had more time and could stop for a coffee on the way to work.

Maybe they didn’t see it fluster you but knew it knew it went a little off the rails and thought you needed a boost!

Today is my Friday, not because my office is closed tomorrow but I took the day off to get my tattoo coverup! I'm so excited for that and then dinner with friends after since they live in the area of the tattoo parlor. I need a girls night badly.
I also just want to say a big FU to whoever decided that kids should be taught math in a way that their parents don't know and therefore can be of no help. I'm about to smash that little ST Math penguin to bits. But, I did help DD create a Veteran's Day presentation on Google Classroom this week that she is excited to show today. We don't have any current veterans in our family, but we were able to get a photo of my great uncle who served in WWII and earned 6 Bronze Stars and a Silver Star for bravery. I have a little notebook where my grandfather wrote a bio about all of his siblings so we have a lot of info about my great uncle from that and used it for her project.
I could not have less interest in ChatGPT. It sounds like less work to just write something myself than to prompt it and edit whatever it churns out.
I am disgusted my class was canceled tonight. This is like the fourth class in under a year that I have signed up for (and paid upfront for!) that has been canceled. All different places and topics. This time is especially annoying because it was a series of classes at an odd time about 50 minutes away so I had to rearrange my schedule for all those days in order to go. They gave me almost exactly 24 hr notice before canceling with no explanation. I was really looking forward to something to distract me from the impending winter and holidays.
They have not replied to my request for a refund, they were pushing in the email for me to take another class but they aren’t in topics I’m interested in. Hopefully that doesn’t become a thing. They have not been very responsive to questions in the past.
David uses ChatGPT to help him study for tests. He copies and pastes everything in there and tells it how to quiz him. I know a bunch of his kids at his school got F's on writing assignments for using it. They have to turn their work in online so they can check for that. I have no idea how that process works but I'm curious.
For months my laptop has been slow af when I am docked in my office. It works perfectly at home or if I come off the dock and go onto wifi at work. Our Head of It has been telling me it's not the dock. Today, I casually asked another IT guy if there are any extra docks and if he'd change mine out. He did and now everything works perfectly. It was everything I could do not to be petty and snarky in my email to the Head of IT.
I'm about to smash that little ST Math penguin to bits.
For Trunk or Treat at DS's school, the third grade teachers all dressed up as penguins, with the ST math background as their decorations. Everyone agreed they were the scariest group, lol.
My partner uses chatgpt to help him draft stuff for work as he isn't really a writing person. He has sent it to me to look at and I like it tries to use too many big words and be a bit convoluted, so doesn't sound very natural.
I am goign to pick up our new cat from the shelter today! We chose her at the weekend but had to wait until she was sprayed to bring home. the kids are very excited!

No, have never used chatgpt (had to look up if that’s what it’s called haha) and have never thought it was needed.
I’m involved in a study for breast milk research. I sent in my sample yesterday. I wish we could get the results of our own milk, that’d be so cool.
Anyway, since I did the covid vaccine study and now this my goal in life is to continue to be a part of as many medical/research trials as I can. After cadaver lab in med school I always said I wanted to give my body to science but had always thought about it in context of when I’m dead, but now I’m starting early
