> For generating reports : I dumped a few SQL definitions in the prompt, then started asking questions like: "Write an SQL statement to check how many users signed up last week?".

Then used these commands in Postgres.

> For proofreading, adding emojis and changing tones : ChatGPT doesn't have a personality. It's prose generation is not bold. So I write the text myself, and ask Siri to proofread it, add emojis etc.

I call ChatGPT Siri. It doesn't seem to mind. It never acknowledges it though.

> For repetitive typing tasks ⌨: Convert Markdown text to org mode, add a quote around all variable names, add a tab in every closure.

> For writing code : This is a hit or a miss, but I have realized that Chat GPT points me to correct APIs, or variables that I can look up on Google

> For learning paths : I'm learning Emacs and cooking. I tell GPT my current state, things that I know, and the place where I want to be. It fills in the next steps. Not ideal, but I hope this improves. This will make AI an excellent teacher.

> For generating content ideas : It kills the writer's block. Chat GPT generates enough good ideas for me to pick and write tweets on. But I refrain from using GPT content directly because it's bland.
