From a machine God, a useful tool in the hands of humanity or simply the eternal damnation of free thought, will and improvisation? The ChatGPT it can be all of these together. But it will be really useful only if you use it wisely and as a “mind” that can trigger your own imagination.
The human mind has no limits. His only nightmare is his lack of imagination and learning which unfortunately these two have gradually started to diminish, especially since the rise of the internet. However, even these search engines are considered old “models”.
Artificial intelligence and apps like ChatGPT Ms. are here to stay.
Care must be taken in their use so as not to fall into traps which they may involve. After all, who hasn’t been convinced that they are valid when, after various questions we ask them, we conclude that they do not understand exactly what we are asking them or they may be saying things that are not correct?
According to him Scott H. Young, the man behind it Ultralearningthese are the 7 things we need to do so that ChaGPT takes us where we want and not gives us answers and solutions that can lead us to a worse position.
Trust yourself even with your mistakes
Let’s see everything we can do:
1) How can I do it, not what to do
One of the major traps we all fall into is asking ChatGPT to tell us what to do, what steps to take to reach our goal. This excellent – truth be told – AI application, he shouldn’t be thinking about us or “make decisions” for us.
So the next time you want to ask it, for example, what to do in a critical issue, better ask it which questions will help you understand where you want to move.
2) Give clear instructions
He is a talker, it’s the truth. If you ask him something general and vague, he will give you a one line answer (which may or may not work for you), within 5 paragraphs of useless information or repetition of the same phrases.
To do your job quickly and efficiently, don’t just ask a question but set boundaries and specific content. Besides, if you’re not precise he’ll just get to the point of guessing what the hell you might want.
Example: “Should I ask for a raise at my job?” The answers to this question are endless and in the end they won’t even help you. Instead, you can write: “I feel like I deserve a raise, how can I convey this to my manager in a professional way so that my request is accepted?”
3) Ask again and again
The great thing (among everything else) about having a large circle of people is listening different opinions. These will open your horizon as you can see outside your own sphere. The exact same thing happens with ChatGPT.
After you ask him a question and he answers you, ask him to give you one different perspective. The second or third time you tell him this, he will catch your vibe and feeling, he will tell you something that will suit you better.
Think like you’re an explorer and a collaborator at the same time.
4) Blind trust didn’t help anyone
His purpose is not to destroy humanity (ah that Hollywood). It is programmed to be kind and helpful but often times it ends up killing you mislead.
Whatever he has to say to you, evaluate the. If it is about serious issues, again prefer the opinion professionals. The fact that many ask it about physical or mental health issues, trying to replace real scientists, is quite dangerous.
The purpose of using ChatGPT is to you are inspired you yourself and not trust it completely. Anyway, since when did humanity stop having its own judgment?
5) We are all “matches” that want fire
The human brain is not an empty barrel that needs filling, it is a match that needs lighting. And here it comes “bell” for students, students and professionals.
Stop copying! Take inspiration from what he tells you, don’t copy paste what he writes to you and again don’t trust it blindly. He is not an authority and many times he can mislead you again unintentionally.
6) “Teach” it to help you
If you give him information about your style, what you stand for and believe in, the answers he will give you will be more like you.
After all, the real power of ChatGPT is not that it knows everything, but that it can it translates knowledge.
7) “Drive” you
It has been mentioned several times in this article but this is exactly the “key” to its proper use. Have him control and try not to replace your own voice.
The reason this world we live in is real and unique (even with its bad things) is because behind everything there is a person, with their experiences, their dreams and even their traumas.
If you want to use it for a project, get ideas and try to bring out what your own mind hides. This will keep your work lively and interesting. People identify with people…
As a conclusion of what to look out for, ChatGPT is one useful tool to help you and open your horizons. It is not bad to use it, but it is “harmful” to follow it faithfully. Get ideas and knowledge which you will always check. As we said it is not considered an authority and in no way can it replace the human brain.
“Take advantage” of it to get where you want and use its creativity to set “fire” in your own match.
