    If you had to buy an expensive headset to use chatGPT she wouldn’t either.

        I’m just saying the accessibility of AI doesn’t necessarily mean it has more utility. Just that it’s more accessible.

      Even if I would gift one to her she wouldn’t use it. VR headset is peak nerd shit, as much as I love it. Having a dialog with an AI is much more approachable to the layman.

        That’s fair I guess. I don’t have a VR headset or talk to AI so imo they’re both pretty nerdy. I only talk to chatGPT every now and then to see if it can help me with code problems, and it almost always fails spectacularly unless I’m doing something really basic.

          I work as a systems engineer and use it daily. I feel there is a particular way of using it where it really shines. Priming it with “you are an experienced senior python/rust/etc. developer who writes robust, idiomatic and maintainable code”. Using GPT-4 (not 3.5) is paramount, and the Data Analysis mode on ChatGPT is also really useful, because GPT can actually run code to validate things.

          Noone should force it of course, but I feel once you get intuition about what and how it does things well (and when it falls on its face) then it really flies.

            Yeah I should probably use gpt4. Just don’t want to pay for another subscription haha.
