On the side, I make cheap Wordpress sites for small businesses (mostly as a favor to folks I know personally) and always had a hard time writing good marketing copy.

I’ve found that what ChatGPT comes up with is often a great start and has already saved me hours of time. Is it as good as paying a professional? Probably not. But I think it’s fair to say these models are already solving real world problems, even if they still need a bit of a helping hand. Just my thoughts, I’m not an expert on the models themselves.




Also when programming, I run into small things four or five times a day, that I used to Google for, maybe search Stack Overflow. But there is a lot of blog spam to wade through and finding the right search terms is hard.

Now I just ask ChatGPT.

Scale is where the rubber meets the road. I'm glad ChatGPT has been helpful to you, but it is still a gimmick for the majority.


For sure. I definitely can't speak to how well it would work at scale.
