You just run in there, start clicking things. Do you have no clue? Are you using chat GPT every day? Regardless of where your skill level is, what you do or do not know about chat GPT, I hope today's episode is going to be enlightening for you and informing for you. Because we're going to do something a little new

on the Everyday AI show, we're going to do a live walkthrough of ChatGBTGPT. So welcome if it's your first time here or if you're a returning listener, viewer. Welcome. My name's Jordan Wilson. I'm the host of Everyday AI. And this is your daily live stream podcast and free daily newsletter, helping all of us keep up with what's going on in the world of AI and how we can use it for our jobs, our career, even our personal life.

So shout out to all of you that have been tuning in very consistently. This actually, the idea for this show, unfortunately, we had a last minute cancellation. So I was talking with one of our subscribers yesterday and he said, hey, I like when you guys just do something live on the show, right? And go through the process top to bottom. So that's what today's show is all about. We're going to show you just a dive inside of chat chit. So this is, I think, especially great if you maybe know chat chach. and you use it, you know, here and there, but you are not really quite sure of a lot of different

things. We're going to do it live. So if you are already joining us, so thank you. Maybrit, saying, effective chat GPT is so much better than sassy chat GBT. Looking forward to this one. Maybrit, thanks for joining us. Dr. Muthana saying happy Friday. So if you are here, go ahead. Drop your one biggest chat GBT question. If you're joining us live, or if you don't have any questions, questions, drop the one most important thing that you've learned while using chat GPT. Let's make this a fun one. Let's just talk together. Let's figure out chat TVT together, y'all. So before we do, let's go into the daily AI news. So first and foremost,

reportedly, the New York Times is considering a lawsuit against Open AI. So this just kind of broke a couple hours ago. So no big surprise here. There was inside chat dbt. It's funny, we're actually going to get to this. They used to have a browse mode. Brows with, it was called Brows with Bing. But within chat dbt, you could browse different websites.

They had to take it down because they were getting a lot of copyright infringement claims. Open AI was because their browser was able to sometimes bypass paywalls, such as the New York Times. So that one is going to be important to keep an eye on. All right. piece of news. Code interpreter inside chat GPT recently smashed some math benchmarks and hit a new soda record, SOTA. So if you're a math geek, you probably know that. Don't worry. It's going to be in the newsletter. But code interpreter, I think, is a powerful mode inside of chat GPT. We're going to touch

on it briefly today, but it is out there breaking industry benchmarks. So people always say, oh, So chat GPT or large language models, they can't perform at the level of a human. Well, it just broke a math benchmark record. All right. Last news piece of the day, meta is now even going after OpenAI here with a free code generating software. So meta is preparing. So meta is, you know, if you don't know, they are the parent company of Facebook and now Instagram, WhatsApp and just about every other app, right? So they, threads, forgot threads, right?

So meta is preparing to launch this new software that is going to help developers automatically generate programming code. So you can do this, you can do this already in, you know, chat GPT and code interpreter. You can do this in Bard. So it's going to be exciting to see what meta releases on that front. All right, but let's get to it. Let's talk about chat GPT. All right.

So we already have a couple of people tuning in. Thank you all. Let's shout everyone out here. Who's joining us? Bronwyn, thank you for joining us. Dr. Harvey Castro. Woozy caught me yesterday at the AI summit. Thanks, Woozy.

Yeah, great stuff on PPP. Yeah, excited to talk about it. Brian joining us from the Mississippi Gulf Coast. Brian, welcome. Good morning. Cecilia, good morning, welcome. Ben, what's up? What's up, Ben?

Ben wants to know the one or three plugins that cannot live without. I will definitely get to that, Ben. And actually, Ben, shout out to you because I kind of came out with this idea after we chatted. So, all right, and then we have, Brian wants to know the effective use of plug-in packs. Got you. All right. So we are going to get to a lot of these questions and more.

But what I'm going to do is I'm going to do a basic walkthrough first because I want this to be for everyone. This is, after all, this is everyday AI. So we're going to do a walkthrough top to bottom of chat GBT. Make sure if you have questions, get them in. I'm going to do my best to grab these questions as I see them, which might be a little hard as I'm doing two things. But let's jump right into it.

So chat GPT as a reminder, there is a free version and there is a page. version. And don't worry if you are an avid user of chat chbt, there's actually so many new things that they've announced in the last month or so. Even if you're an avid user, I think that you're going to benefit from kind of a walkthrough. And we're going to get to some more advanced things at the end. All right. So something brand new to chat dbt that you may or may not see. When I open a new chat, you are now met with some suggested, suggested prompts. All right. And apologize, if you are listening to this on the podcast, don't worry. This is a very visual episode.

I'm going to try my best to describe what's going on. However, this is one of those. Check the show notes. We leave show notes in the podcast notes every single day. So you can go back here and watch this video. But I'm going to do my best to explain it. But within chat, you essentially have a left side interface, and you can always toggle that on and off for a more minimal point of view.

And then at any point, you can just click, you can click select a new chat. So now when you click select a new chat, you do have these suggested prompts that you can use right away. All right. But before we even get into that, if you've ever taken our PPP course, I already saw a couple people shout out out. But yeah, if someone else has that's listening, let me know what you thought of the course, just made some improvements.

And actually, we have one coming up in less than 90 minutes. So if you want access, if you're listening live, click, type in PPP in the comments. I'll send you the link. We keep it secret. It's like Fight Club without the fighting. I like to tell people. So let's go over the very basics first because I talk about this in the PPP course. You have to start with the right mode, right?

And you have to know that. So always look at your settings. So let's start with settings. All right. So again, I'm on the pay plan. It's $20 a month. I tell people it's well worth it. So let's start at the very basic.

So in your general settings, you can do a light mode, a dark mode, or have it reflect your system. So if you're, you know, I think Mac you can set like, oh, during the day, I want it to, I want my Mac to be light at night. I want it to be dark. Chat Chachy-T can reflect that. So I have the light theme by default, but I can click it over to the dark theme and there you go. Not really my cup of tea.

What do you guys use? Let me know. Are you using light or using dark? Are you using system? What are you using? All right. Let's go back into chats. I'm actually going to switch that back to light.

A little better on my eyes. All right. Here's another thing, beta features. This is important. So if you are a paid user, you need to enable first plugins and or code interpreter. And we're going to talk about those things here in a minute. Data controls. So chat history and training is on by default.

This is one of those things. Always keep in mind, if you're uploading, documents into chat GPT, if you are copying, pasting documents into check GPT, technically that data is no longer private. It isn't public, but Open AI uses anything you input to train their models. So again, I try to say this often. Do not put in anything proprietary, sensitive, classified, right? Only put in information, I would say that you are fine with being public.

I'm just going to put that there and leave it. All right, a couple things. You can manage share links. We're going to get into that. You can export your data, which is something that not a lot of people know or use, which is great. If you use chat GPT a lot, it's a lot of work to go and copy and paste information if you want it.

The interface, if I'm being honest, the interface in chat chabit is not very good. Google Bards interface, their user experience user interface UIUX is much, much better, much easier. Chat Chbbtee is a little clunky. It can take a while. to go find old conversation. So this is a great way you can export your data. It'll give you a zip file,

and you can go in there and look at individual chats way faster to copy and face. If you want to delete your account or disable two-factor authentication, you can do so in there. All right, that is the basics of our settings. All right, I'm jumping back into the comments. I want to make sure if I see any comments that are coming along to grab them out, Josh Cavalier, what's up, Josh. Josh is saying code interpreter is an amazing function in chat, GPT.

Don't sleep on it. Absolutely. People ask me all the time if I use code interpreter. I don't really. I don't. There's a couple of things that I really dislike about code interpreter. There are specific things. I'm going to talk about those in a minute.

Yeah, a lot of people with code interpreter love, Andy Fairweather saying, I use the code interpreter and chat GPT pro to add in brand personas as word docs and also tone of voice doc. Yeah, great. Don't get me wrong. Code interpreter is great for a lot of reasons, except for one. Harvey Castro is saying, great job on the presentation yesterday and PPP. Thank you. Appreciate the support always. All right. We have a lot of comments coming in, but let's get right back into chat. TPP. So we went over settings, which is important. Now, when you go for a new chat, again, these prompts come up. These are new, their helper prompts. It's supposed to, you. you know, kind of jog your memory, especially for new users. This is great. I would kind of, if I'm being honest, for I would like to be able to toggle this on and off. I don't need this anymore, but I'll just go ahead and show you what this does. You can just click one of these

example prompts. And this one said, create a content calendar for a TikTok account on reviewing real estate listings. So the reason why I don't really like these kind of starter prompts, so to speak, is it automatically shoots the prompt, right? It's, it's, so you can't really, personalize it. So this, more than anything, these example prompts that they just launched, not going to say it's a waste because it's good for people to go in there and click them, but you can't make them personal to you. So if you think you're missing anything by not using these example prompts, you aren't really. All right. So this brings me up to another good point. The left-hand sidebar is your entire chat history. Okay. So by default,

As soon as you, as soon as one message in a new chat is done, chat TPT will automatically name it based on the content. So if you're looking right now, you'll see this TikTok one that I just clicked just says new chat because it's still processing. It is literally writing a 30 day TikTok plan, right? That's crazy. This is one thing chat TPT is great for. Once you give it your own information is to create a content calendar, right?

Because coming up with content can be so hard, especially, it's especially useful if you give it access to the internet with plugins so it can access your data and more up-to-date information because you'll see, well, in this instance, I already had plugins enabled, but normally anything you get out of chat GPT, even on the paid plan, the cutoff is going to be September 2021, which is almost two years ago, which is why I don't recommend in most cases you ever use the default mode or in a lot of cases even code interpreter. Here's why. If you're in code interpreter and you're going back and forth, yes, it's nice to be able to

upload documents and to have chat TPT be able to interpret that code. However, it's not going to get up to date information past September 2021. So unless you're literally only going to be using that chat to interpret code, but even coding has changed a lot since 2021. So Open AI hasn't actually said a lot on code interpreter in terms of what access, like does it have access to programming language post-2020? I don't think I've seen that. Correct me if I'm wrong in the comments. But all right, so the left side. So you'll see now it automatically named this conversation, real estate TikTok tips. Not sure why. Oh, that's because the example prompt was reviewing

real estate listings. So I can always change this and people don't, you know, a lot of people don't know. You can click on this little pencil icon here to rename the chat name, which I highly recommend, and I'll tell you why here in a minute. And then you can click that when you're done, click that little confirm button, or you can trash it. So if you don't want that, you can always click the trash and delete it. All right. So let's go ahead and I'm going to show you guys just some real examples of something that you might use chat GPT for. I want to use this as a starting point. So full disclosure, this is going to sound weird. I don't use AI written content a lot. My background, I've been getting paid to write for 20 years. I was a journalist for about

seven of those years. I enjoy writing. But one of the things that we do use at everyday AI, AI content for is for YouTube descriptions, right? So yes, on LinkedIn, if you see me post or if you see me write, that's actually me. But chat chitpT is actually great at writing when you train it to write in your voice. We did a whole episode on that. So this as an example, I use this yesterday. And I have plugins enable. We're going to talk about plugins, but it's extremely important.

So you'll see I have a, it's kind of hard to see on YouTube or on, on chat GPT, they make these little icons so small. So I have a YouTube, uh, YouTube plugin enabled. So it can automatically know and understand YouTube videos. It has another summarizing, a plugin enabled and then a search plugin.

So we use plugin packs. That's something we teach in our PPP course just a little bit because in plugins, you can only have three plugins active. So if you want to use a chat on an ongoing basis and then you're like, oh, like this example, I would love for this chat to be able to read and understand and summarize YouTube videos. If you already started the chat, you can't go back and reenable plugins. So plug-in packs are extremely important. So in this example that I'm showing you here, it can read

YouTube videos. So I will upload a video. I do this for my AI in five. Sometimes I write the descriptions. Sometimes if I'm a little stretched on time, I'll have chat dbt to it. So I say, here is, you know, write a YouTube description for the video title. Beautiful slides in 60 second, wonder slide review. Then I also give it the link to the YouTube URL once it's public. And then I, in this chat, I have already trained it. So I've already gone back and forth in the beginning to get that output exactly how I want. Because as an example, you know, I like to have certain hashtags at the end. I like to, you know, so I train this over time because I wanted it to talk about everyday AI before it did the entire YouTube description.

So this is just one example. I wanted to show you right away ways that you can use plugins and kind of train a chat because as we kind of do this walk through through the rest of chat. That piece is extremely important. All right. Let's jump over. I know we have a couple comments. Rim joining us from YouTube.

All right. Cool. Rim, good afternoon. All right. Peter. Adobe just introduced an entirely new way to create, bringing the power and precision of its creative suite into one conversational experience.

Adobe Firefly AI assistant now in public beta.

See it today at firefly.adobie.com. Peter says I am having plugins not on paid on free. Not sure what that means. I don't think plugins are available on free yet. Yeah, custom instructions are available on free. We're going to get to that here in a second. Woozy, what adjective? What adjective do you see in articles that make you know is GPT written?

Good stuff. For me, lately, it's been whimsical and dynamic. For me, it's not necessarily adjectives that can help me spot AI written content. It is the overuse of emojis in headlines. That's the biggest one.

You know, because if you tell chat GPT to, you know, write something, you know, more like a human or, you know, write it in an entertaining voice.

A lot of times it'll overuse emojis, sometimes putting two before a headline, two after a headline. So a lot of people share this type of content on LinkedIn, and you can tell right away when it's very consistent in nature, especially with emojis. That's a dead giveaway. All right. Cecilia with a question,

are there settings in free chat GBT? Yes, there are settings in free chat GBT. However, when you go in to your settings in chat GPD, and you go to beta features, you will just not have these. But you should. still, I believe, I've been on paid since then literally the minute it came out. So I kind of forgot what's on the free account. I'd have to log into my free account to check.

But I believe you do still have data controls. You do still have general settings, but obviously in beta features, you won't have anything to enable. Great question, Cecilia. Thank you for that because, yeah, so many people are on chat GPT free still. All right, good morning to Dr. Rastafah. All right. It looks like a lot of people are using the light version.

same as me. Thanks for letting me know. I was just curious. Let's keep going. Let's keep going. A couple more things that I wanted to get to today. I can't get to this all in one, you know, 20-ish minute episode, but I wanted to hit a couple important points.

All right. So we went over the basics of the interface, right? So all of our chats go on the left-hand side. You can quickly, you know, toggle the sidebar. You can click new chat. You can rename chats. Let me show you something else. So I kind of talked about how I don't like the interface.

It can take a while to find chats. So one thing that not a lot of people do is. So here's an example of something I was working on is I was training chat GPD to write in my voice. Again, I haven't actually use any of this, but I did this for, let me tell you what I actually did it for. I'm going to run a test at some time and I'm going to write something and say, hey, did I write this or did chat GPT Reddit. But anyways, if you go up to the top of a chat, and hopefully you can see this. Again, I'm going to try to zoom in a little bit. In the upper right hand corner of any chat, this is a new interface item. It used to be kind of hard to find this,

but you can click share chat. This is extremely useful. So you can share this with your colleagues. So after you train chats, this is something we actually teach in our pro version of PPP. So again, if you haven't taken the course, it's a free course if you want to, just type in PPP. But you can copy the link here. Right. So I'm going to go ahead. I'm going to click on a different chat. All right.

And again, so now I'm on the TikTok real estate chat. In my browser, I'm just going to go ahead and paste that chat in, the one that I copied the chat. It's called Jordan GPT. All I have to do, and anyone that you send this to would see this same thing. But kind of pro tip here. you have to have the same plugins enabled. If you're sharing it with a coworker or if you have multiple paid accounts for whatever reason, I started this chat with certain plugins.

So if you don't have those plugins enabled, it's not going to work correctly. So all you do is you click continue this conversation. Give it a second to load. And there we go. We're back in it. So here's a recommendation. If you have a lot of chats and I always teach expert chats, which is using one chat and going through the PPP method with that chat to turn it into an employee doing one very specific job.

But if you do that right, it can be kind of hard to find those different chats. So saving the link, putting it in a spreadsheet is actually a great way to quickly find different chats that you have and not always having to scroll through the UI. Monica, good question. PPP. I've talked so much about that, but I haven't said what it stands for. That is prime prompt polish. Yes, that is our free course. Hundreds of people have taken it.

Haven't heard a bad thing. It seems like people like it. All right. A couple more things I wanted to go over in our live chat GPT walkthrough. Again, if you have a question, drop it now as we start to wrap this up. All right. So a couple of things we've talked about. Code interpreter is a different mode.

So when you start a new chat up here at the top, you can toggle between free. So this is, if you're on the free plan, this is all you're going to have, which is GPT3.5. It's very fast. It is faster than GPT4. However, it's not very good, if I'm being honest, compared to GPT4. So you can put the same prompt in GPT3, the same prompt in GPT4, the default modes, and the GPT4 is always going to be better, right? So even if you're thinking of writing, which a lot of people use chat GPD4, I say GPT3 is an eighth grader.

GPD4 is someone that's getting, it's been getting paid to write for 20 years, right? So I think a lot of people find a little bit of value in the free version and they're like, oh, why would I ever change? Well, it's just better. The analogy I use is it's a flip phone versus a smartphone. The smartphone is just more powerful. All right.

So when you do a new chat, you're going to choose between GBT 3.5, the free mode, or you can toggle and go to GPT4. All right. So there's even different modes within GPT4. Okay, so you have your default. So you can click that, which is essentially exactly what you think it is. It means that there's nothing else enabled, no plugins, no code interpreter. All right, you can go to code interpreter. Now you'll see, hopefully, and I'll explain it, but one little thing, one little interface thing change.

So code interpreter is the only mode in all of chat GPT, free or page. that you can upload a file directly. So you can upload a file in Code Interpreter. That's kind of what it's for. So a lot of people can use it for coding. So you can put a Python file in there. You can put an image. You can put a video.

You can put just about any file and you can do amazing things with Code Interpreter. I don't even have enough time. But think of Code Interpreter as exactly that, a mode that is trained specifically to interpret and write code. and troubleshoot and debug code. So a lot of you all said, you like Code Interpreter. So why don't I use it?

Because it is not connected to the Internet. Right? So if you're working inside Code Interpreter and you're going back and forth, what if you wanted to troubleshoot actual code on a web page? Yes, you can manually go in, copy and paste it, and go back and forth.

I did this the other day. I had a very small CSS JavaScript, HTML issue I was having on a client website. I could have gone inside code interpreter and gone back and forth, but I would have had to manually debug it and update that new code. If you use GPT4 with plugins and you enable a web scraper, yes, this is getting a little specific, but you can do a lot of the basics of coding still with a plugin enabled that gives

you access to the internet. So I'm not a huge fan of using default modes that don't have access to the internet. Because, number one, you're going to get a lot of outdated information only from September 2021. And then if you want to do more things with whatever chat that you are using, you can't. You are limited. So a lot of times if I want to do some code work and we'll have a plugin enable that gives me access to the internet, but then also one that allows me to work with spreadsheets,

right, to read and write from spreadsheets because that's a lot of what coding is. And then you can do it live and it saves you time, right? to be able to grab from a live Google sheet as an example and write to a document at the same time. It's just a little faster for me than code interpreter. All right, a couple questions. Thank you for these. Monica asking, you mentioned we should rename our chats and you were going to explain why that's advantageous. Yes.

So renaming the chats is important because by default, chat GPT will name them for you, which you don't like. So as an example, normally I would do this, but I didn't even rename this chat, which is good. So thank you, Monica. So this one here, this was my Jordan GPT. So what I should be doing by labeling the chats so you know what plug-ins. So I would normally put plugin, PL, a little colon, and then I would say web, PDF. Oh, I'm going to run out of space here. So I'm actually just going to say J-G-T-4.

So a lot of this is your own internal naming mechanisms. So in this example, I know that this chat has been trained to write like me on GPT4. It has plug-in. So that's my PL. W, it has web access. I put VX because I know the name of this plugin, BoxScript, which is an amazing plugin. And then I have a YouTube summary plugin. And why this is important is now I know the more and more you use chat, GBT, the whole

harder, I think the interface gets. I hope Open AI improves that or allows you in the future to add more than three plugins. But that's the biggest reason that you should be naming your chats accordingly. So now I can look at this chat in my sidebar and know exactly what it is and know, okay, in this chat, I have plugins enabled. I have a web access plugin, box script plugin, which I love, and then a YouTube plugin. So thank you for that question. Great question. All right. A couple other questions here. And we're going to wrap this up. I know this is going on a little long. Yes.

Take the course. Peter, Peter, another question here is your course, Jordan, start live in an hour. Yes, it does start live in exactly one hour from right now. Ben saying that he personally finds it helpful to rename the chat so he knows how I trained it. Exactly. That's a great. Yeah.

Thank you. Thank you for bringing that question up. I did talk about that in the beginning. I probably would have forgotten. All right. A couple last things to wrap up. here. And again, this is live. We've been all over the place. I hope that even if you're new, you found this helpful. If you've been using chat chitp t for a while, I hope you find this

helpful. So the last thing I'm going to talk about, a setting in here that a lot of people love is called custom instructions. So this is new. All right? I tried this out. I don't like it for a lot of reasons. Here's the biggest reason. So custom instructions, is if you are constantly, when you start a new chat, having to kind of train chat GPT to either talking your voice or to give it certain directions that you want it to follow, this is what custom instructions is. Essentially, and this is, don't get me wrong, it's actually a great feature. It's just not it for me. So versus having to constantly tell chat GPT in a new chat, you know, to give it the same information over and over, or to kind of train it back.

and forth, a lot of people will use custom instructions. However, here's what I don't like. You can't really selectively toggle it on and off easily. So when you enable it, it is enabled for all new chats by default. So a lot of times, you're not going to want to use those custom instructions for every single thing. If there was an easier way, which again, I'm actually going to try this live because I haven't even played with custom instructions in probably almost a week.

Right. But yeah, it doesn't look like there's a way to toggle it off by default. If there was when you start a new chat, if there was an area right here where I could toggle custom instructions off, I would keep it on because there are benefits. But the way I use chat, GBT, I use it for so many aspects of my daily life, you know, everyday AI. I use it for everything. So I don't want those custom instructions.

which are very specific and very powerful, don't get me wrong, but I don't want them enable for every single chat because then sometimes you might forget they're on and then you start working in a chat and you're like, why am I getting this content that is not really what I want? Oh,

it's because custom instructions is on by default and you've started in this chat, then you have to start over, you have to kind of click it off. Here's the thing. Anything you can do in custom instructions, you can just literally save a prompt. A copy and paste,

prompt with something very similar to these custom instructions. So then you don't have to worry about it. Hey, is it on or off? And hey, I don't want it on during this certain chat. All right. We made it. I think to the end. Almost.

One other quick thing. No chat gvety walkthrough is complete without a very quick talk on plug-ins. So I think we hit everything else. We hit the default mode. We hit plugins. We hit custom instructions, our settings, everything else. Plugns. One thing I wanted to go over is how to enable plugins.

I love plugins and plugin packs. We had a question on that. What are my favorite plugins? I love browser app. I tested 18 different web-enabled plugins. That's not a joke, guys. I literally tested them all to see what they're capable of. Browser app is one of the most flexible.

So that's one of my favorites. I love BoxScript. I love this YouTube Summary's plugin from, I think this is from Ata5. Those are some of my favorites. If you ever see this, a plugin here that has a red shield, it doesn't mean it's broken. It just means it's not verified, but it'll still work.

You will see, okay, here's one that the thumbnail is not working. This hasn't been verified, but in my experience, whenever that happens, especially if it's a not verified plugin and the little thumbnail image preview isn't working, a lot of times it means that plugin is having problems and it's not working correctly. However, something real quick to do on plugins. Again, you can only have three active at any time. You can scroll down to the bottom and go to the plugin store. And then from the plugin store, you can search for anything. So as an example, let's say you want a PDF plugin. You can search PDF and install, individually install these plugins. So the plugin store is growing by the day.

I think last count, it's now at more than a thousand. When it first came out, there's only like 50 or 60. So plugins are great. You install them with one click. A lot of times a plugin will require you have a third party account. As an example, Zapier, right, which I have installed. Usually it's on the front page here, but it's not today. So Zapier is a fantastic plugin.

I am going to do a dedicated show on this. But as an example, a lot of plugins require you have a third-party account. So you can't just click install Zapier and start using Zapier because obviously you need an account and you need to have those services already connected inside Zapier. So that is a quick overview of plugins. Again, you can only have three enabled. You have to individually install them. And when you start a chat, you can't go back and forth.

You can't add one, delete one, or modify. That was a lot. Guys, that was a lot. Don't worry if you didn't catch everything. All right. There's going to be more in our daily newsletter. So please go ahead, go to your everyday AI.com. It's right there.
