GPT-3 (short for "Generative Pre-training Transformer 3") is a language generation model developed by OpenAI. It is one of the largest and most advanced language models currently available, and it has the ability to generate human-like text in a variety of languages and formats.

Some specific things that ChatGPT can do include:

• Generating text that is coherent and flows naturally
• Summarizing long texts or articles
• Translating text from one language to another
• Answering questions
• Generating responses to prompts or conversation starters
• Completing incomplete sentences or paragraphs
• Generating descriptions, titles, or captions for images
• Creating original content such as stories, poems, or articles

It is trained on a large dataset of human-generated text and can generate text that is similar in style and tone to the text it was trained on.

I was curious how Chat GPT would do with summarizing long form video content. So I selected the following video as it is almost two hours long.

Then I copied the transcription from the YouTube video and used the following query:

Based on the following transcript, please write a 15 bullet point sentence summary.

Then I pasted the transcript as well as the prompt into the input. Here is what Chat GPT returned:

• It is difficult for many people to articulate what they actually want in life.
• People often try to fill this void with addictions, hobbies, and other distractions.
• Feeling uncomfortable or unfulfilled can be a sign that something is not right.
• In order to manifest what we want, we must aim for it and be aware of what it is.
• This requires self-reflection and trust in oneself.
• Trauma can affect a person's story and sense of identity.
• The speaker is a clinician who is interested in the role of stories in shaping our lives and identities.
• He became interested in this topic through his study of the long-term effects of trauma on the body.
• He believes that our stories and identities are not just narrative, but also physical and emotional.
• The concept of "owning your past" involves taking responsibility for one's own story and not blaming others for one's experiences.
• This can be a difficult process, but it can lead to transformation and growth.
• The speaker discusses the role of therapy in helping people to understand and change their stories.
• He also talks about the importance of finding the right therapist and building a good therapeutic relationship.
• The speaker recommends his book, "Own Your Past, Change Your Future," as a helpful resource for those looking to understand and change their own stories.

Interesting. I haven't yet watched this video since it is almost 2 hours, but I have been intending to. I will need to report back on how it did after I watch the whole thing. I am realizing that the query phrasing really matters here. I am interested in exploring other practical things this technology can do, and how it can be used.

Then I tried to get some help writing some formulas for excel:

I forgot to include taxes and mortgage insurance 😉

Write now, this is more curiosity than anything. It is both scary and exciting. This tool reminds me of this story by Steve Jobs.
