    Increasingly, people ask me questions, send me screen shots, I copy-paste that into gpt, gpt’s answers are helpful and correct… they have access to the same (free to use) gpt themselves…

      When I ask a person a question im generally trying to get their perspective. Im likely asking a few people or will over time. Its honestly just a part of socializing and interacting as humans.

        I get questions like: why can’t I access this server, I followed the wiki page (first clue, they didn’t follow the wiki page). That’s not asking for insight, that’s asking for where they failed to follow a set of 5 step directions by doing things like: changing the default filename of their new ssh key to something they invented.

        GPT explained, far more patiently than I would have, how indeed to do 4 more steps and rename your ssh key to anything you want, but I did offer the insight: if you just leave the name as the default value, you can skip all of this extra work.

            Yes, do you answer questions for money outside of work? Outside of work if somebody is asking me a question I assume they want my answer and I’ll give them that instead of looking something up, although sometimes I punt with an “I don’t know but I bet Google does…” Inside work I attempt to answer questions as correctly and efficiently as possible - the GPT tools are great at that.

              Okay. It was just not clear when you first said how you would put it in chat gpt. Granted I will answer work questions from myself because if they are asking I generally just know the answer or if I don’t I say I don’t. I might even say I think that is somewhere in the wiki or give a wiki link. Much more common if I wrote the wiki section which is kinda common if they are asking me. I might though ask if they did and where it lost them as then I can improve the wiki.

      People ask humans because they want to interact with humans, just say you don’t know and they’ll ask ai themselves, unnecessary middlemannimg for ego boost is weird

        It’s not that I don’t know, it’s that I’ve already answered their questions, in writing, if they would just read a half page of text and do what it says.

      Please don’t compare how I use AI to how you do, I hope I never ask you a question and trust you like I would a human

        Well, when the question is: why isn’t my server access working, and the result from gpt gets their server access working… I hope you can trust a result like that?
