Case 1: ChatGPT helped me find software
In the previous section, we just met the new friend of ChatGPT, just listening to its "mouthful" big words, I don't know what it really does. Today, let's take the real problem in reality and test this "capable person".
Finding software is a problem that we often encounter in the process of computer learning. Now let's set such a requirement - look for free tool software that can extract audio from video.
According to traditional thinking, if we go to Baidu with the above needs to find the answer, what will we do? One way is to enter the above sentence directly into Baidu's search box to search, if you are lucky, someone in Baidu has asked the same question or solved the same problem, or there happens to be such an article on the Internet, then you may easily get the answer. However, most problems are difficult to solve through this method, and searching for answers by entering sentences is often much less efficient than searching for correct keywords. Another commonly used method is to use keywords and keyword combination techniques to search, but it also takes a lot of effort to select, identify and experiment to obtain satisfactory results.
Let's enter the sentence "looking for free tool software that can extract audio from video" in Baidu to see. The first time we saw it was a full screen of advertising links, and the search results were far from our requirements, which can be described as "donkey's lips are not the horse's mouth".
(Figure 1 Searching in Baidu in sentences is difficult to achieve)
Continue to flip through the search results page, although you can see some articles related to the requirements in the list, but some may still be advertising software promotion, after clicking in, most of them are to register and pay to fully use the software, which is not a concept with the free tool software we require, if you try it rashly, it is likely to be a waste of time.

When searching for the question above, we were lucky enough to find content related to the request after turning two pages. There are many product-related search results, especially medical and health care, etc., often you may not even find the content close to the desired result by turning two or three pages, and clicking rashly can only be a waste of time by mistakenly entering the sea of advertising.
Anyone who has ever searched and downloaded software knows that even if you enter an advertising page, when you click on the download link according to the enticing features described on the page, you may have planted the seed of a trojan horse for your computer - you entered a personal black page, you have been tricked. Therefore, starting from the experience of downloading software, the computer "master" will tell you that downloading software to download the official website of the software, other websites are not reliable, but as an ordinary computer user, where the official website of the software is, it is still unknown.
It can be seen how hard and difficult it is to find an answer to an answer to a question in Baidu search.
Tips:
If it is difficult to find a satisfactory answer by entering the full sentence of the question in Baidu, it is best to try searching by keywords. Experience has taught us that searching with two or even three valid keyword combinations (separated by a space bar) tends to be much better than typing an entire sentence.
After experiencing the difficulty of finding software at Baidu, let's divert into the world of ChatGPT and see how it was to deal with this new friend.
Again, with the same question above, I'll ask ChatGPT again. I could even go a little further and describe the problem more fully.
I asked, "I want to look for free tool software that can extract audio from video, can you help me find a few such software?" Remember, I want free software, and I don't want to pay to sign up as a VIP user because I use it occasionally. ”
Let's take a look at the answer given by ChatGPT.

The above answer, from the question I submitted to ChatGPT to the completion of ChatGPT answer, took less than 1 minute. First of all, regardless of whether these answers are reliable or not, just from the perspective of its decent answer, regular text format, and logical language, we can gain initial trust in this answer.
ChatGPT provides us with 4 such software, and the next problem is much easier. We only need to verify the functions of these software through some ways, remove the rough and refined, remove the fake and authentic, and leave the software that is useful to ourselves, and our purpose has been achieved. For example, I can search Baidu for the video extraction audio function of a specific software to see if there is an article on the Internet that introduces the function. Or you can ask ChatGPT for more detail about this feature of the software to see if it can justify itself. Of course, a more reliable way is to download the software and use it yourself to see if there is this function.
For example, if I have questions about HandBrake software's video extraction audio feature, I can continue to ask ChatGPT: "Does HandBrake software's video extraction audio feature really exist?" Please tell us more about the steps to extract audio with it. ”
At this time, ChatGPT gave the following answer:

-------------------------
-------------------------
Good risk! I almost got scammed by ChatGPT! Of course, I didn't suspect that ChatGPT was a scam, maybe it was unintentional. And in the next answer, it also admitted that it made mistakes and corrected them with practical actions. It can be seen that when using the answers provided by ChatGPT, you must have a scientific attitude and the spirit of daring to question, otherwise you are likely to get answers that seem correct but are actually wrong.
Through the above case, it also fully confirms some of the characteristics of ChatGPT itself in the previous article.
1. It is indeed efficient. Get content in just a minute that you can find in hours with a traditional search engine.
2. It's good at summarizing. Ability to search and organically organize the same kind of questions in front of the user.
3. It is kind to people and corrects mistakes. Always answer your questions in a polite manner, be good at admitting your shortcomings and even mistakes, and be able to correct them in a timely manner.
In fact, for a new thing that has just been born, we can't be too ChatGPT, asking it to satisfy us 100%. As the saying goes, "no one is perfect", although the robot is not a person, since humans add a "human" to its name, it is natural to admit its imperfect existence. People can learn to improve and correct shortcomings and mistakes, and robots should certainly follow this principle. With the continuous upgrading and domestication of ChatGPT, I believe that its growth rate will be beyond our expectations, so let's live in harmony with ChatGPT through the practice of more problems and improve together!
In the next lesson, we'll ask ChatGPT to help us solve one or two computer problems and see how well it performs in this area.
