I spent 500 hours in ChatGPT, here’s what I learned

Key Concepts

• AI Models (GPT-4.0, GPT-4.5, O3 Mini High)
• Projects (Custom instructions, file attachments)
• Customizing CHBT (System prompts, personal information)
• CHBT Images (Image editing, thumbnail generation)
• Default Browser Website (Habit formation, increased AI usage)
• Desktop App (Keyboard shortcut, reduced friction)
• Deep Research (Personal researcher, O3 model)
• CHBT Plus (Paid plan benefits, litmus test)
• Mobile App (Voice mode, camera integration, lock screen widget)
• Prompting Tips (Examples, clear language, role-playing, repetition)
• Canvas (Document drafting, CV upgrades)
• Rerun (Model switching, prompt improvement)
• Learning with AI (Personalized learning, language correction)
• Pro Plan (Unlimited access, 01 Pro Mode, Sora, Operator)
• Sora (Video generation, image creation)

AI Models

• GPT-4.0: The main, powerful, and versatile model for most tasks, including code interpretation, image generation, and web browsing.
• GPT-4.5: The most intelligent and human-like model, ideal for conversational interactions, but slower and less proficient in coding and math. David Andre's favorite model.
• O3 Mini High: A reasoning model excelling in math, science, coding, and tasks requiring critical thinking.

Projects

• Projects allow users to create custom environments within CHBT for different aspects of their lives (e.g., YouTube, work).
• Custom Instructions: Project-specific instructions that apply to all chats within that project. Example: "I always make YouTube videos about AI. Keep the titles short, under 55 characters."
• File Attachments: Relevant files (e.g., PDFs, documents) can be attached to a project, providing context for all chats within that project.

Customizing CHBT

• Users can customize their CHBT experience by providing personal information and instructions.
• System Prompt: The "customize CHBT" section acts as a system prompt, allowing users to define CHBT's traits and behaviors.
• David Andre's custom instructions are available in the New Society templates and presets section.

CHBT Images

• CHBT's image capabilities extend beyond basic image generation.
• Image Editing: Users can upload an image and instruct CHBT to modify it (e.g., adding a croissant to a laptop image).
• Thumbnail Generation: CHBT can create thumbnails based on viral formats. Example: Recreating a thumbnail from a viral video about crossing the Pacific, but for a video about crossing the Sahara Desert.

Default Browser Website

• Setting CHBT as the default browser website encourages more frequent AI usage.
• This helps users break old habits (e.g., going to Google) and utilize AI for problem-solving.

Desktop App

• Downloading the CHBT desktop app provides faster access through a keyboard shortcut (Option+Space or Alt+Space).
• This reduces friction and allows users to quickly access CHBT from any application.

Deep Research

• Deep Research is a feature that provides in-depth research on a given topic.
• It utilizes the unreleased O3 model, which is not available elsewhere.
• Users need to clarify their research question before the process begins.
• Example: Researching the latest AI/ML papers on transformers and extending the context window.

CHBT Plus

• The CHBT Plus subscription ($20/month) offers numerous benefits.
• Access to GPT-4.5: This alone is worth the subscription cost.
• Extended Limits: Increased usage limits for various features.
• Deep Research Access: Access to the Deep Research feature.
• Early Access: Opportunity to test new features before they are released to free users.
• Subscribing to CHBT Plus is presented as a "litmus test" for understanding the importance of AI.

Mobile App

• The CHBT mobile app provides access to AI on the go.
• Voice Mode: Allows users to interact with CHBT using their voice.
• Camera Integration: Users can take photos of objects or text and ask CHBT questions about them. Example: Taking a photo of a product's ingredients list and asking if the ingredients are healthy.
• Lock Screen Widget: Provides quick access to CHBT from the lock screen.

Prompting Tips

• Include Examples: Providing examples in the prompt improves the output.
• Use Clear and Descriptive Language: Ensure the prompt is clear and unambiguous.
• Role-Playing: Assigning a role to CHBT (e.g., "Act as a senior developer") can improve the response.
• Repetition: Repeating the most important part of the prompt at the beginning and end emphasizes its importance.

Canvas

• The Canvas feature provides a split-screen interface for drafting documents.
• It allows users to refine the document in real-time using chat.
• Users can upload existing documents (e.g., CVs) and use Canvas to upgrade them.

Rerun

• The Rerun feature allows users to re-run a prompt with a different model.
• This is useful when the prompt is solid, but the initial response is unsatisfactory.
• Users can switch back and forth between different model outputs.

Learning with AI

• AI is a powerful tool for personalized learning.
• Users can ask the same question multiple times without judgment.
• The voice feature can be used to correct pronunciation in language learning.
• David Andre used AI to learn the skills necessary to build his startup, Vector.

Pro Plan

• The CHBT Pro plan ($200/month) is not for everyone.
• Unlimited Access: Provides unlimited access to all reasoning models and GPT-4.
• 01 Pro Mode: A powerful model that uses a lot of compute power, useful for complex programming tasks.
• Extended Access to Sora: Increased access to video generation.
• Research Preview of Operator: An AI agent that can browse the web and perform tasks.
• The Pro plan is only recommended for users who need the extra limits and compute power.

Sora

• Sora is a video generation tool within CHBT.
• It can create realistic AI videos from text prompts.
• Sora can also generate images, providing an alternative to Midjourney.
• It is particularly useful for creating advertisements and other creative content.

Synthesis/Conclusion

The video provides a comprehensive guide to using Chad GBD effectively, covering various features, models, and prompting techniques. It emphasizes the importance of customization, experimentation, and continuous learning. While some features and plans are more suitable for advanced users, the core message is that AI can be a powerful tool for anyone who takes the time to learn how to use it properly. The speaker advocates for active engagement with AI, encouraging viewers to integrate it into their daily routines and workflows.
