Increasingly, people ask me questions, send me screen shots, I copy-paste that into gpt, gpt's answers are helpful and correct... they have access to the same (free to use) gpt themselves...

    When I ask a person a question im generally trying to get their perspective. Im likely asking a few people or will over time. Its honestly just a part of socializing and interacting as humans.

    I get questions like: why can't I access this server, I followed the wiki page (first clue, they didn't follow the wiki page). That's not asking for insight, that's asking for where they failed to follow a set of 5 step directions by doing things like: changing the default filename of their new ssh key to something they invented.

    GPT explained, far more patiently than I would have, how indeed to do 4 more steps and rename your ssh key to anything you want, but I did offer the insight: if you just leave the name as the default value, you can skip all of this extra work.

    Yes, do you answer questions for money outside of work? Outside of work if somebody is asking me a question I assume they want my answer and I'll give them that instead of looking something up, although sometimes I punt with an "I don't know but I bet Google does..." Inside work I attempt to answer questions as correctly and efficiently as possible - the GPT tools are great at that.

    Okay. It was just not clear when you first said how you would put it in chat gpt. Granted I will answer work questions from myself because if they are asking I generally just know the answer or if I don't I say I don't. I might even say I think that is somewhere in the wiki or give a wiki link. Much more common if I wrote the wiki section which is kinda common if they are asking me. I might though ask if they did and where it lost them as then I can improve the wiki.

    Yeah, this recent flurry is a batch of colleagues at an overseas office who took an interest in running a procedure I setup about 3 years ago, they're all creating their own ssh keys and I'm adding their public keys to ~/.ssh/authorized_keys on a certain server - so far so good, but for some reason they're all renaming their key files away from the default names even though the procedure shows steps to create default named keys (they don't have other keys....) so, this morning I went and edited the wiki page to make it explicit: "Use the default key names unless you want to do a whole lot more configuration work on your end..." which, of course, none of them do.

    But, yesterday, when this query-storm started, they sent me a screenshot with their renamed keys and I wasn't sure if that should work or not, so I fed the screenshot over to GPT and it instantly answered about how to configure the client to use non-default key names - which I translated to the users as: "just rename your keys to the default names" they did, and they're happy. Though, this morning one sent me a key both renamed and with her user ID stripped off - I wasn't sure if that would work or not so we just tried it, and when it didn't work I had her send me the whole key...

    A lot of what I get out of GPT is stuff I already know, or knew, but can't articulate all the detail about as quickly as GPT can.

    People ask humans because they want to interact with humans, just say you don't know and they'll ask ai themselves, unnecessary middlemannimg for ego boost is weird
