I was never a huge AI guy but I was starting to wonder if my ISP was really providing the speeds I was paying for, and it turns out they were, but I had a bottleneck somewhere in my hardware chain. I was showing it screenshots of internet speed tests all around the house, showing what my ISP was saying it was giving me, and explaining the setup I currently used, and it concluded that my router was the bottleneck. I just kept following the logical questions to ask and it found me a mesh system that I went to Walmart and bought that same day. I got it home, installed it, and got faster speeds (and coverage) immediately. It also recommended to me to downgrade my Internet plan because I was basically paying for more than my connection was actually capable of. So yeah, ChatGPT literally is saving me $20+ a month right now. It makes you think about all of the other things in your life you're overpaying for and how you might be able to optimize them. submitted by /u/CrimsonGlyph [link] [comments]
