Incorporating AI into your work is easier than you think! Check out my new blog post in which I generate synthetic doctorโ€™s notes, and then use text embeddings to automatically label the notes using the OpenAI API in Python.

If you're a data scientist who is curious about incorporating chatGPT (and generative AI in general) into your work, give it a go! It's surprisingly easy, and the OpenAI documentation is really user-friendly:

@Netlify The same thing happened to my small netlify-hosted website in October, albeit for more like $700. Netlify did not remove the charge, and actually double charged me (they eventually removed the double charge). But this is not ok.
