Outside of work, I use ChatGPT as a search engine for questions whose answers typically would require synthesis from multiple sources (in other words, won't likely be answered by a singular Google search or article). It's a very successful approach.
Also used Midjourney to insert a nice bedroom background behind a bed for sale on FB Marketplace, and eventually sold the bed for 5x the price I was hoping.
Can you expand on the bedroom background? Like you super imposed the bed into a midjourney generated image of a room?
yeah basically. just selected around the bed and had photoshop fill in the bg
As a software engineer yes I use it everyday. Boilerplate, straightforward refractors, questions.
It saves me a lot of time, and I’m senior enough to have my wits about me regarding questionable output.
