Really helpful for learning new frameworks and stuff like that. I had a very good experience using it for Kaggle competitions (I am semi-intermediate level, probably it is much less useful on the expert level).
Also, I found it quite useful for research on obscure topics like “how to potentiate this not well-known drug”. Usually, such research involves reading through tons of forums, subreddits etc. and signal to noise ratio is quite high. GPT-4 is very useful to distil signal because it basically already read this all.
Btw, I tried to make it solve competitive programming problems. I think it’s not a matter of prompt engineering: it is genuinely bad on it. The following pattern is common:
GPT-4 proposes some solutions, usually wrong at the first glance.
I point to mistakes.
GPT-4 says yeah you’re right, but now it is fixed.
It is going on like this for ~4 iterations until I give up on this particular problem or more interestingly GPT-4 starts to claim that it’s impossible to solve.
It really feels like a low IQ (but very eloquent) human in such moments, it just cannot think abstractly.
