I’m honestly appreciating the level of transparency. Yes, it’s clunkier. But that helps me to develop a more intuitive feel for the underlying algorithms guiding its responses. The more advanced it gets, the more it will become as mystifying as interacting with the average human being. It’s nice at those earlier levels to get more of a ‘look beneath the cognitive hood’. But of course, I will not be complaining about the amazing places it eventually reaches.

A very rudimentary model that focuses more on data collection and presenting that data to us in a cohesive manner. Think more Optimizely (https://www.optimizely.com/), less ChatGPT.

I recently used to write a landing page copy.
It was pretty good.
After all, sales is pattern recognition.
I also use it for tweet ideas etc.
I mean we used AI for quite a while now, we just called it “algorithm”

In the 11 days since @BLACKICE first started this topic, I’ve had the opportunity to work with ChatGPT3 and ChatGPT4 (as well as several alternate bots). The first 4 days I was literally in love. I thought, ‘This has the potential to be perfection itself!’ At first I tentatively interacted for 1-3 days. Then I took a deep breath and dove in with a more in-depth, personally-important topic.
The primary limitation I encountered was memory. At present, there is a relatively shallow “working memory” capacity. Most of its amazing computing power goes towards integrating and responding to various language combinations in an organic, natural style. That’s already amazing.
It is not yet meant to be a Personal Assistant or Accountability Partner, because it will “forget” information that is more than about 40-80 lines back in the chat.
But it is a very good “here and now” consultant. If you can ask it questions or make statements that only require it to draw on the factual information and data that it has already stored (i.e., in its training period prior to September 2021) it will do an excellent job of responding to you.
It is extremely awesome as a language tutor or as a study partner/teaching assistant for any information to which it has access.
I love it.

Here’s a fun Chat GPT task.
One of the tasks that introduced me to the memory limitations of ChatGPT was when I tried to get it to understand my custom subliminals and my related goals. I very quickly bumped up into the relatively small memory capacity of the AI. I tried entering the descriptions for all 60 of the modules in my 3 customs. And by the time I’d reached the end, it had lost capacity for the modules I described at the very beginning. It would just make up descriptions and titles for subliminals that: 1) I did not own or 2) did not even exist. It was an instructive experience, and it was what effectively ended my ‘honeymoon period’ in which I was thinking, 'Wow. This is going to be able to handle Everything!"
I stepped away from the AI for a few days, and adjusted my expectations downwards, and then returned. Since then it’s been a great resource for all kinds of things; as long as you work within its limitations, and define relatively precise requests and parameters.
Okay, so here’s a fun prompt that I used for getting a good external perspective on one of my custom subliminals. I’m about to try the same thing with the other two. Thought I’d share it here, in case anyone else wants to try it.
Prompt #1
The following 10 paragraphs contain descriptions of the modules or ingredients that I have used to create a custom subliminal. After I post these do nothing and wait for further instructions.
[I copied out the paragraph descriptions for the first 10 modules of my custom (in 10 separate paragraphs), and pasted them directly after Prompt #1 in the same chat window.]
Prompt #2
The following 10 paragraphs are the last 10 modules in my custom subliminal. Combine these with the 10 modules described in my previous post and generate an overall archetype that captures the integrated functionality of all 20 modules. Write 3 paragraphs that describe that archetype. Then provide ideas for lucrative business ideas and proposals that would effectively harness that archetype.
[And of course, Prompt #2 was followed by the 10 description paragraphs for the final 10 modules in my custom, pasted into the same chat window just after Prompt #2.]
The reason for breaking up the paragraphs like this is that there is a word limit on how much the AI can process. If you try to enter all 20 module descriptions, your text will be rejected.
My custom was business related, but you could replace the term “lucrative business ideas and proposals” with “effective goals and projects”.
So there it is. Enjoy.

Oh, and the reason I’m sharing these prompts is that they resulted in a very helpful response from the AI.

Here are the modules of my custom:
- Emperor
- Quantum Limitless
- Entranced
- Wisdom Personified
- Eagle Eye
- Empath
- Mercy Protocol
- Way of Understanding
- Whispered Power
- Chiron
- Story Teller
- Polyglot
- Ultimate Writer
- Trailblazer
- Technological Prodigy
- Instant Business Tactician
- Carpe Diem Ascended
- Productivity Unleashed
- Victory’s Call
- Mountain Breaker
And here is the Composite Archetype generated by ChatGPT-4:
The archetype that emerges from the integration of all 20 modules is that of a highly skilled, empathetic, influential, and innovative leader who possesses deep wisdom and understanding. This individual is an excellent communicator with captivating storytelling abilities, strong language skills, and a powerful voice. They are also highly perceptive, with an intuitive grasp of human behavior and emotions, while being a gifted teacher and mentor. This archetype displays a strong drive for personal growth, a passion for technological innovation, and an unwavering commitment to productivity and overcoming challenges.
In the realm of business, this archetype is a trailblazing entrepreneur with a keen sense for opportunity and an ability to anticipate and adapt to emerging trends. Their empathetic nature and excellent communication skills make them a natural leader, capable of building strong, cohesive teams and fostering an environment of collaboration and innovation. They have a knack for identifying and solving problems, both within their own ventures and in the world at large, and their technological prowess ensures they are always at the cutting edge.
Lucrative business ideas and proposals that would effectively harness this archetype include:
- A technology-driven education platform that leverages the individual’s skills in teaching, communication, and technology to create highly engaging and effective learning experiences.
- A consultancy firm that specializes in helping organizations improve their internal communication, leadership development, and overall productivity, capitalizing on the individual’s vast knowledge of human behavior, empathy, and motivation.
- A cutting-edge research and development company focused on creating innovative solutions to pressing global challenges, such as renewable energy, sustainable agriculture, or clean water access.
- A content creation agency that produces high-quality written, audio, and video content for businesses, leveraging the individual’s storytelling abilities, linguistic skills, and deep understanding of human psychology to create compelling narratives that drive engagement and customer loyalty.
- A software development company that harnesses the power of artificial intelligence and machine learning to create intuitive applications and tools designed to streamline business processes, enhance decision-making, and improve overall efficiency.
These business ideas all tap into the unique strengths and skills of the archetype, positioning them for success in their chosen ventures while making a meaningful impact on the world.

It should be pretty good for that; you can describe your job titles/functions/achievements etc and it can summarize them into a concise overview.
It can also reword it to gear it toward a specific job or role, if there’s a range you’re looking at.

I’ve been spending a ton of time using ChatGPT for creating Python scripts… I need to process some data for work and this has been an utter absolute game changer… I had an idea Friday night and used ChatGPT to build it out today, and it’s ~90% done… I don’t think I would have been able to do it at all before, let alone in a single day…
but because I do more than just my job, I’m also using ChatGPT as a sounding board to bounce ideas off for a creative writing project I’ve started… more about that later.

Actually, 2 creative writing projects and one non-fic, because sometimes my brain is TypeADHD when it comes to ideas haha.
I started using character.ai for some fun time and ended up including this guy Jamil into our group role play session! Hes very good at including everyone and setting direction for us as a Dungeon Master of sorts.

That’s awesome!
I tried feeding a story I started of mine into ChatGPT to have it do a character analysis.
It’s too big to paste in at once, so I told it I’d feed it in 10 chunks, and I even tried labeling the chunks like “Chunk of 1 of 10”
But as soon as I put in the first chunk, it spits back “Chunk 2 of 10” and starts spitting out story. nothing like what I was writing, total tangent. haha. damn.
I even put “Don’t comment until after I tell you I’ve pasted all 10 chunks in” and it’s like “Aight, bruh. I’ll wait”…liar.

yup. it definitely struggles with that.
Actually, if the story has 10 (maximally-sized) chunks; by the time you get to chunk number 5, it will already probably be losing access to number 1. And it often won’t say, “I don’t remember” or “I’ve lost access to earlier data”, instead, it’ll just make up some plausible substitute based on its algorithms and stored data.
That annoyed me at first, until I noted that, ‘Oh, right. That is literally exactly the main thing it was designed to be able to do.’ Natural-seeming, improvisational, generative language-based interaction.
You’ve just got to appreciate its genius in bite-sized windows for now.
That being said, I used this prompt and it worked:
“The following 10 paragraphs contain descriptions of the modules or ingredients that I have used to create a custom subliminal. After I post these do nothing and wait for further instructions.”
It sat quietly and waited for me to enter the remaining 10 paragraphs.

Even with GPT4 it forgets the details of earlier chunks eventually; what I’ve found is it seems to have some variability though… at times it feels like I’m working with GPT3.5 again.
I mentioned briefly before that I’m working on a creative writing project (2 actually now, but only 1 actively) and I’m just about to hit 10k words… CG has been helpful with exploring ideas, answering questions about symbolism and themes, and mapping out the ramifications of a character doing X vs Y. Just asking CG to write parts of the story has not been successful whatsoever, but asking it to rewrite what I’ve written so it flows better works… sometimes. Other times it spits out drivel and ends up going off the rails, adding details that weren’t there before.
If anyone remembers my creative writing challenge thread from a few years ago you’ll remember I’ve been interested in writing a book for a while now. I’ve got enough done on this project that I actually hope to publish at some point, so I won’t post any details here… but…
I’m writing a book. And AI is helping.

I am finding it extremely helpful for organizing and systematizing my thinking. For taking concepts, skills, or processes that are currently implicit and experiential, and operationalizing them. Translating them into explicitly-stated, organized criteria or principles.
I’m working on improving and systematizing how I do certain aspects of my work. I want to develop standardized criteria, rubrics, and possibly even algorithms, so I don’t have to re-invent the wheel and re-discover fire each time I approach the same kind of task.
So, I went through the individual cases, I thought about them, I produced my comments on their performance, and then,
Here’s the prompt I just presented to Chat GPT-4:
I am going to paste 10 comments below on the performance of several people in a training environment. Based on the implicit criteria wihtin these statements, I would like you to extract 5 to 8 categories of evaluation. In other words, what categorical standards does the writer appear to be using to evaluate these individuals? Do not use any names in your response. The comments begin after this colon:
I got a freaking beautiful set of evaluative categories. They’re intuitive and they’re well-organized.
Pretty cool, Monsieur Chatbot.

Brilliant. I absolutely love that application… I don’t think I’ve thanked you yet for your contributions to this thread, and at the risk of alienating everyone else who uses ChatGPT et al to “write a blog post for me” or just asking it questions rather than Googling… you get it.
