👋 Hello everyone, welcome to our very first Weekly Discussion thread!

This week, we're focusing on the applications of AI that you've found particularly noteworthy.

We're not just looking for headline-making AI applications. We're interested in the tools that have made a real difference in your day-to-day routine, or a unique AI feature that you've found useful. Have you discovered a new way to utilize ChatGPT? Perhaps Stable Diffusion or Midjourney has helped you generate an image that you're proud of?

Let's share our knowledge and learn more about the various applications of AI. Looking forward to your contributions.

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.

There is an example in the body of this post
Here is the link to the ChatGPT conversation

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!
