I have ChatGPT premium. Unable to download voice to a desktop. Says it won't download to this Mac desktop version. Wondered if anyone had same issue.

Check to see if you have the official version by going to https://openai.com/chatgpt/download/ There are many copy cat versions of ChatGPT in the App Store. I have Voice Mode access on my app on my Mac with no issues.

Thank you for sharing the how-to's!! I'm a member of a couple historical societies. One of the things I do for one of them is manage the Society's Facebook page. I've found this extremely helpful for creating social media text, which I struggle with. It works perfectly and takes little time, an extremely helpful hand. 😁👍

Ah, makes you wish for the days when the biggest thing we had to worry about was the listing in the phonebook.

Oh, for sure. It was simpler times, and not so complex and tasking consuming.

I have found it useful to re-write some of my awkward paragraphs. It tends toward the academic style, so I still have to re-write the re-write for the final version. Perhaps I should have given more specific instructions to it.

If you tell ChatGPT who the audience is it is writing for - specific demographics - the output will change. I find this more helpful, than just telling it to be a specific role, when it comes to family history writing.

I've recently started using ChatGPT and have done a couple of sample biographies with it and also asked it to look for names in auction results. It's another tool in the box...

Indeed it is. A bit of a Swiss Army Knife for me and I'll keep sharing more of what I'm doing with it.

Thrilled you are focusing on your writing! Everything can be used for bad purposes (remember water being used to torture people after 9/11?). But if I drink it regularly, my body and mind function better.
