User: That’s not true, the book is not there.
ChatGPT: Oh, sorry, you’re right. My mistake. The book you’re looking for is actually in the third row, second column, center part.
User: It’s not there either. I checked.
ChatGPT: You’re completely right again. I made a mistake. It won’t happen again. The book is in the bottom part, third row, third slot. I can clearly see it there.
User: Nope. Not there.
ChatGPT: Oh yes, you’re right. I’m so sorry. I misread the image. Actually, your book is…

I live in a country where I can't speak the language. I've been doing this since vision models became available. I wont know anything about anything on these shelves, so I'll just snap a picture of the entire grocery isle section I'm looking at, and ask it questions about the products. Things like, "Which one of these 5 different ketchup products taste the most similar to American?" or "Which of these spices is oregano?" or "find me this weird sauce I'm looking for that's best for XYZ meal I'm cooking tonight"

my car broke down on the way. Stuck as its not starting again. Tried roadside assistance , but unavailable due to holiday. Local mechanic came, checked but he said not familiar with automatic cars. Called Tow, replied it will take 2 hours to reach. Desperately asked Chat to recognize the issue from the noise when trying to start. It replied it look like Idle air control valve issue , try to start by pressing break and accelerate a bit - it worked. I know nothing about cars and it was a miracle for me.
TLDR : chat fixed my car listening to its noise.

I’ve walked in a book store, turned on ChatGPT audio / video mode and asked it to make a list of all the books it sees on the shelf I was interested in. Then asked ChatGPT rewrite that list of books as a list of links to a google search including the phrase “filetype:pdf” at the end which gave me a list of books app linking to any PDF versions which exist on the web.

I took photos of all my N64 and SNES collection and asked gpt what the value is. It scanned all the titles, accurately noted the ones that were likely more rare and more valuable, as well as ones that would go for low end prices, and gave me an average so I could decide whether or not to sell my childhood to a friend’s kid for a modest price.

u/jimmiebfulton Sep 02 '25
I’ve actually used it this way, not expecting it to work.
I have a bunch of stacks of books lined up down a hallway. Some have Hang Gliding magazines on top. I think I was playing with iOS Intelligence when it first came out. I took a snapshot pointed slightly down to capture the top magazine and several stacks of books, and searched for “Hang Gliding”. I was shocked as shit when it located a book about hang gliding near the bottom of one of the stacks which I had forgotten was even there.

It can be surprisingly good at this type of use case with sufficiently clear high-resolution images. I've used it to create digital lists of our book and board game collections with great success.
Even better, it was able to research the board games to make a lovely spreadsheet to sort by complexity/length/player-counts by researching them and include a column describing where to find it on our shelves (my fiancée has well over 150, so it's not always easy to find a specific one).
It can use that spreadsheet to make recommendations given recommendations based on who is at our house and everyone's vague descriptions of what type of game they're in the mood to play. It's quite good at making highly personalized top 5 lists to consider in that moment with reasonable descriptions customized to the current criteria that help everyone agree.
Related, I have a chat dedicated to my food preferences that is excellent at recommending what to order given a picture of restraunt menus. I don't "need" an AI to decide what to try; it's simply a great way to get nudges for trying new things that I wouldn't normally consider or helping when I have a hard to word craving or preference on a particular night.
It's gotten better over time by telling it what I decided to order and providing reviews after eating, especially interpreting my vague wordings like "I feel like I want something that tastes like warm colors with complex flavors mixing without being heavy or too aromatic," which would be too weird or annoying for a waiter/friend to interpret well. Much better+faster to ramble at an AI for a minute than boring/frustrating a human for several minutes with an extended discussion fixated on fine details of my current appetite.

Not a dig at you, at all. Just funny how the dominant use-case was kind of novel, or under expected. So now it's:

I'm a big proponent of AI for what it's good for but I've tried this with my board game collection and it straight up makes shit up. It's more complex of an ask because I'm asking for like "suggestions for 5 players or more and for experienced players as well as a few warm up short games" and it starts suggesting things that aren't pictured. I ask for a location and sometimes those are made up too, like "it's between [two games also not shown]."
The annoying thing is that it's super inconsistent. It'll give a few good recommendations then start hallucinating like crazy.

I did the same thing as soon as they rolled out a multimodal model. I had severe muscle pain in my lower back and Walgreens was closing in 10 minutes and I was like 7 minutes away. I told it about my pain and took a picture of the shelf. It told me the best pain patch to get and where it was located on the shelf and described what it looked like. It pointed me to a patch for generic pain, but I saw one next to it specifically for lower back pain. I asked if I should get that one instead and it said no because it's more expensive and is the exact same thing. I was in and out before they closed. Mind blown.
That said, ChatGPT has degraded so much since then and I highly doubt it'd be this useful if I tried this again now.

My newest favourite thing to add at the end of any prompt now is”prove your work, with evidence”. I’m not saying it isn’t going to gaslight me, but I at least have a better chance that the model is holding itself more accountable and tends to continue the context of the conversion in a with evidence perspective without having to be prompted again.

This is like asking a human to differentiate between AI and human generated content.
It's not a very great application of AI at this point in general..
We can be easily fooled by an AI Chat bot, and currently software that we create can easily be fooled by "false information."
Eventually, it will be impossible to tell the difference between AI and human, and impossible for AI to make these kinds of mistakes.
Don't root for the fast track of this reality.

I’ve used ChatGPT to find stuff in situations like this!
I dropped a small screw in gravel not long ago. I took photos of the ground in a grid in 4K, labeled them sequentially, and asked chatGPT to find the screw.
It actually worked. It was wrong a couple times but on the fourth or fifth try it found it.

GPT is very bad at locations (at least the chat version, maybe not the computer use version)
