Actually Useful AI

I started using GPT-4 for summarizing YouTube videos: I download the transcript (there are websites where I can do it but I'm sure it can be automated easily), which I feed into GPT-4 and get a really nice summary.

I implemented documentation querying using a vector store and GPT-3.5 at my day job. Here is a simple example in Langchain's docs.

My wife and I are both huge fans of the "His Dark Materials" trilogy by Philip Pullman. The story of these books starts out in a parallel world where everyone has a "daemon", an animal companion that is the embodiment of part of their soul. What kind of animal a person's daemon "settles" as after puberty reflects their personality. We asked ChatGPT to ask a few questions about our personalities, which we answered, then it determined what kind of animals our daemons would be, and wrote Midjourney prompts to visualize them. This was a really fun game, we enjoyed it a lot!

It's nothing special, but you can connect ChatGPT with Google Sheets and Docs via an Extension (ChatGPT for Sheets and Docs).
Important learning: Copy everything you want to keep and insert it again as plain text. Sometimes everything reloads und your input might be gone.

I am the writer of MovieMachine which is a tutorial series that shows you how to storyboard, animate and create VFX with Midjourney. The featured tutorial is from V4 and we're on V5.2 now so it's gotten even more indepth since writing this but I am proud of it + it's the main workflow behind my graphic novel series Behind The Valley. All of this is AI or (heavily) AI assisted. Thanks for checking it out.

Hey all, I have been putting together this little toy app recently that is arguably completely antithetical to "Actually Useful AI"... but I wanted to try and get some initial feedback anyways. It's a simple site where you query an obelisk for sage advice. That's it. It's here if anyone wants to try it, curious what you guys think: https://obelisk.space/. If there's a better place to post this, please let me know!
