No, this was not written by ChatGPT. If it were, the answer might be something like what is on the home screen of the app. A couple of people have asked me what to use ChatGPT for, so here are some options. Since using ChatGPT over the past couple of months and trying a couple…
The single biggest item on my mind over the past couple of weeks has been the online chat tool ChatGPT. I’ve been thinking about how I can integrate it into workflows, summarize data and overall finally use it to jump over some hurdles, but more so to learn. Google is great but having to weed…
I am sitting here running through hundreds of spreadsheets planning for the rest of the year. I often get a few hours in before I start getting a little brain drain. Thankfully the past few days the weather has been great and I generally get more done when I am not shivering. I have been…
