Right off the bat I have to comment and say that the art piece "Feeling something" exuded a very strong Kandinsky vibe. I loved that one for sure.
Other than that this is an excellent and helpful article.
I have not spent much time with either Chat Gpt 4 or Bard, but I have used both and what I enjoyed most spending time doing with them was acting like a guide to get it to "personalize" its answer to my prompt questions.
With the start of the new year I will be signed up with the paid Chat Gpt service and making prolific use of it as an intellectual stimulant among other things.
I’ve found it to be great for writing simple Python scripts. For example, I got it to write a script to build a loan amortization table and save it to excel, given user inputs about loan amount, etc.
Then I'd proceed with caution, ChatGPT isn't the king of reliability... Of course, it all depends on the task--I wouldn't rely on it if it's too complex but for easy tasks it may work just fine.
Very nice. My favourite use is as a partner in a Socratic dialogue. It gives me the plain, first-order, everyone-thinks-that answers, and I get to probe and and push it, and through that clarify my own thinking.

Yep, I'd say those belong to the "content modification" category

Hey Dave, I'd say it works if you know exactly what you're doing (like with GitHub Copilot). But I don't think that's where ChatGPT shines the most.
Well, I definitely don’t know what I’m doing when it comes to Python. I’m very much a newbie coder...

Yup definitely makes sense. As I said, these are simple python scripts. Run locally, for my own education. No risk involved.
Good to know!
