Using ChatGPT -- Amazing Way To Save Time -- July 18, 2025

Locator: 48781AI.

Readers know that I am incredibly excited about chatbots, and currently use ChatGPT as my chatbot-go-to.

Today, my newsfeed sent me a link to an intriguing study on the body's method of "handling" glucose, something that has interested since my first year of physiology back in 1973 or thereabouts. The study was accomplished by Vanderbilt University (really, really involved in medical research) and University of California San Diego.

The press release is here. The full paper is published here. See how much of it you read before you eyes glaze over. I got through the abstract and the introduction and then skipped well down into the discussion. I got the gist of the article, but that was about it.

My prompt to ChatGPT: "Could you please summarize this article in plain English: "https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-025-60994-w."

Less than two seconds later, I had a complete summary in plain English. Amazing. Saved me hours of sorting through the article.

Immediately after that, I asked ChatGPT where the PGA/Chinese golfer Haotong Li lives. Shanghai and then get a nice summary how that story evolved. 

Much could be said. But it's pretty obvious. Your job won't be taken over by AI but you will lose your job to someone who uses AI if you don't. Did Jensen Huang say that?

ChatGPT is particularly useful when reading college / post-graduate textbooks. Just saying. Again, much could be said.
