Most frustration comes from using it for the wrong job.

What's happening when you ask it something

  • It writes the most plausible next words, based on patterns
  • It doesn't know your company unless you tell it
  • It only sees what you give it, or what it's connected to
  • It sounds just as sure when it's wrong

  • Support: a first draft reply to a complaint

Needs care

  • Anything with figures, dates or names

A quick test for any task

  • Is it mostly about words, structure or ideas?
  • Can I give it everything it needs to know?
  • Can I check the result faster than doing it myself?
  • Would a mistake be caught before it matters?

Better than expected

  • Explaining a dense document

Worse than expected
