I find ChatGTP to be super useful. I subscribe to the pro version and use it for
- interpreting medical data/informing myself of the right questions to ask for test results.
- analyzing house projects/fixes. It’s pretty good at this. Feed it a picture and describe the issue and it is pretty darn useful.
- recipe/flavor combinations. Since it’s functionally a big aggregator of the internet’s wisdom (or lack there of), it can be good at this. Especially if you’re ramping up on a new cuisine.
- comparing quotes/shopping around with hard data for either products or services. Helped me find backpacking gear, a good EDC knife, and compare air conditioner quotes.
- in general helping me figure out what the right questions to ask in a subject are that I don’t know much about

ive found it to be not awesome at searching for a new “thing” on the internet. In particular restaurants or recommending businesses. It can search the web, but it seems to be hesitant to say anything negative (likely weighted that way) and just parrots the aggregate of google reviews. It struggles to “get a level deeper” than that.
