1. Most coding and documentation questions now go straight to GPT-4

2. Most quick general purpose questions like "What is 4-month sleep regression in babies?" go to GPT-3.5

3. If I want to deep dive on a topic, I find myself either using one of the custom GPTs (Grimoire is great for coding), or increasingly, talking to it via voice chat. It's particularly great if I'm walking around the house doing chores and want to learn something I would otherwise turn to Wikipedia for (say, the successors to Genghis Khan and the various Khanates).

This sounds like a great use case. What is your setup for this? Do you have ChatGPT connected to a smart speaker?

No, I just use my airpods and the iPhone app. I use the voice chat and ask questions, then follow up questions.

Like I was reading a book about Genghis Khan the other day, which got me into Wikipediaing all his sons and grandsons. While doing chores, I asked chatGPT "tell me about Genghis Khan's sons", and then follow up questions like "what was the name of the khanate or empire Ogedai founded?"

It's an absolutely fantastic tool for diving into a new topic.

You actually trusted the information it gave you?

I think the Star Trek computer has actually been achieved now. And Google didn't get there first.
