The tip about organizing conversations into projects is so useful! It's like how Rumora helps me keep track of brand mentions online. 😊
This kind of step-by-step clarity is what helps move AI adoption from feeling overwhelming to actually empowering.
Tip: Avoid asking leading questions. The LLM's tend to follow your lead but if you want unbiased info ask the question neutrally.
Hey Matt, I think you might be mistaken about the claim that OpenAI doesn’t store user data. In May 2025, a U.S. magistrate judge named Ona Wang ordered OpenAI to retain all user information indefinitely as part of a copyright lawsuit by The New York Times. Even though OpenAI has appealed this order, it means that OpenAI must keep user data—including deleted chats—until the legal case is resolved. So, even if you opt out of having your data used for training, it doesn’t stop OpenAI from storing it for now due to this court order.
For $60/month, you can buy 2 seats of a Teams plan, which basically gets you the Pro plan for $60 instead of $200.
I totally appreciate that you present info in a way that I can understand it. I'm not computer illiterate but, this field is moving so fast, I am scrambling to stay up to speed. It is like my iPhone, I love it and do lots of things with it but, there's SO much more that I haven't scratched the surface doing.
All your content is so well done. This video is so great for newbies; however, I use ChatGPT every day - extensively, and I found this video super helpful. Thanks for all you do.
31:50 - it counted the person taking the photo too... 😀
Tip #16 about crafting prompts with clear instructions and constraints was a game-changer for me! I’ve noticed that adding specific examples or boundaries really improves the responses I get from ChatGPT. Have you tried pairing this with iterative follow-up questions to refine answers even further?
Tip 14 about refining prompts iteratively is key. One thing I’ve noticed though is that as you get better at this, your threads get long fast. I ended up using a small tool just to mark the responses worth keeping before continuing. Otherwise I’d lose track of the good stuff.
