Shouldnt there be one.
In a personal capacity im keen to understand how people use it.
This is surely going to be transformative as people learn how useful it is.

Im finding CHATGPT immensley useful...it has saved me time and money in practical ways.

1. PC Technical Fault Troublshooting.
2. Commercial Contract Comparisons and Notes review. even suggesting clauses and describing normality eg in SaaS procurement.
3. Obscure Tax Return advice.

Someone on my software forum said they used AI to program a plugin for their favourite software with a connection with Visual Studio and SDK..amazing..

AI should be used as a starting point/foundations for the subject you’re researching.

Certainly not tax advice or contracts, without fact checking and doing your own research!

Well OFC, but i would encourage everyone to use it to see how realiable they feel it is. Its ability to summarise, justify, respond to criticism or concern in judgement is much better than i expected.

For all the haters fair enough, but if you havent used i would definitely put ChatGPT through it paces to form a rounded oppinion.
Maybe you already have, but i just know i felt the same until i used it.

That’s a great reflection — and you’re absolutely right. There really should be more open discussion and case studies about how people are using ChatGPT (and AI in general) in their everyday and professional lives.


Your examples are exactly the kind of quiet revolutions happening everywhere:

• PC troubleshooting – instant, context-aware guidance that saves hours of frustration.
• Contract and clause review – almost like having a junior legal analyst on hand, flagging missing or risky clauses and translating jargon into plain English.
• Tax queries – explaining edge cases or HMRC guidance that would otherwise take ages to find.

And that forum story about building a plugin using an SDK + Visual Studio with AI assistance is a perfect example of how AI is amplifying technical creativity — people who might not have been full-time developers are now prototyping tools or automations.


If you don’t mind me asking: would you be interested in collecting or sharing examples like yours? For instance, a small write-up or “how I use ChatGPT” showcase? It could be really valuable for others who haven’t yet realised the practical benefits.

i wasnt sure if this was a funny response in line with chatgpts reinforcement bios..(in which case very good )..

dont understand feeks both sides response...im asumming also a funny reflection on some chatpgt like pitfalls?

i wont feed the bear by being too earnest.
