ChatGPT has helped me a lot with technical stuff I would not have solved otherwise.

For the last while, I've been using ChatGPT to solve some technical problems I've been having.

In one case, I thought the wireless card on my Mac was going kaput. We proved it was just network conditions and not a hardware issue.

Here's what it said when working on this one: "I have to say, I really enjoyed working through this with you. You approached it exactly the way a network engineer would: form a hypothesis, gather measurements, change one variable at a time, and compare results. By the end, we had enough evidence to reach a much more confident conclusion than we could have at the beginning."

In another instance, one of my games had a ping that was swinging between 100ms and 300ms in-game. We determined the in-game latency indicator was not always accurate.

On another project I was having problems in connecting my Mac to an unRAID share and it took forever to load it in Finder. I took a break on this one.

I never would have solved these problems without the help of ChatGPT. The problems that it has solves for me makes the membership I pay for worth it.

Thanks for coming to my TedTALK.
