This is probably key. If GPT can solve something much faster that’s indeed a win. (With the SPARQL example I guess it would take me 10-20 minutes to look up the required syntax and fields, and put them together. GPT cuts that down to a few seconds, this seems quite good.)
My issue is that I haven’t found a situation yet where GPT is reliably helpful for me. Maybe someone who has found such situations, and reliably integrated “ask GPT first” as a step into some of their workflows could give their account? I would genuinely be curious about practical ways people found to use these models.
My experience has been quite bad so far unfortunately. For example I tried to throw a problem at it that I was pretty sure didn’t have an easy solution, but I just wanted to check that I didn’t miss anything obvious. The answer I would expect in this case is “I don’t know of any easy solution”, but instead I got pages of hallucinated BS. This is worse than if I just hadn’t asked GPT at all since now I have to waste my time reading through its long answers just to realize it’s complete BS.
