What’s a product whose design inspired you so much you had to talk to somebody else?


ChatGPT-preview

As a programmer I would definitely say ChatGPT. I mentioned it to my co-workers because I could see the potential immediately. As we dug in more we discovered GitHub Co-pilot. Wow! What a great product with so many use-cases. It certainly changed the world.

What was so great about it?


It was helping me in so many ways! As a technologist and musician, there were many things it did well for me!

  • Code linting
  • Code generation
  • Writing help (Chat GPT was not used in my process writing these answers, though I was tempted to use it!)
  • Knowledge summaries
  • Music progression generator
  • Lyric writing tool

It was obvious what a great tool chatGPT would be in my life. While it may not have all the answers and can sometimes be wrong, it is great for the things I listed above and has been a great help to me in my career and life.

ChatGPT in my eyes is just a tool when it comes to artistry. I mention tasks like lyric writing. While it can be useful to quickly generate ideas, I do not recommend it replacing artists or it making decisions for us. I think of it as a tool and guide and NOT a replacement for people.
