I've never used it for business advice. But it is still useful to learn expert jargon if you want to find relevant discussions. For example, I use it to learn about DJing recently and yes, often it answers "it depends on your personal taste and the party you are playing, you can choose to do X, Y, Z, etc". Then I know that there is no right answer. ChatGPT learned to handle such multimodality to an extent, often it doesn't want to answer "just do X" in these situations even if I push it. Sometimes it gets a lot more precise if I give more context, like
- How to compose a mix? What parts of the tracks should I play and what should I skip?
- It depends on lots of factors <type of party, music genre, the crowd, etc>. There is no one size fits all answer.
- Ok, suppose I am playing an early morning set of melodic techno at a houseparty for friends. What would you suggest?
- Then your friends will probably be tired by the morning so it makes sense to insert more breakdowns, melodic techno is usually structured this way, hence blah blah blah.
Or you can ask for examples. I often struggle with distinguishing closely related EDM subgenres:
- Can you explain the difference between psybass and psybreaks?
- <a vague description>
- I still don't get it. Can you give me 5 iconic tracks in both?
- Sure thing, here is the list: <..>
Besides, there are open research problems in CS as well where there is no single solution. Then I learn the vocabulary and google recent papers on this subject.
I think fundamentally we have a lot more information available than a single person can ever handle. I find ChatGPT incredibly useful at navigating and summarizing this sea of information.
