ChatGPT is a fantastic tool. And dread comes along with wonder. Will it take the place of human ingenuity or supplant our combined efforts in our fields? I’m not a fan. Whether or not it is conscious, this AI can now operate quickly and efficiently with a team. It’s also important to clearly understand duties and responsibilities in a way that keeps things as simple as possible, just like with any new team member.

Here are six ways I’ve used ChatGPT to that goal.

1. Summarise a process

The tool’s answers are excellent because they are summaries of human knowledge. Now that the procedure has been summarized, we could proceed as usual. We could use our knowledge to identify some crucial details about how something operates before editing it into a clear, readable structure. However, we would be limiting our review to the knowledge of one. With ChatGPT, we invite everyone’s knowledge to contribute to our summaries, the best of which has already undergone peer review for search engine optimization. This provides us with a fantastic first draft, which we can then enhance with our own background or any necessary sensitive information. One of the tool’s cautions advises users to avoid entering sensitive information, so it’s wise to

2. Writing Research Questions

While I haven’t had the pleasure to use it myself, I have witnessed coworkers do so. We were delving into the specifics of question length to maximize response rate as we discussed how to best frame a new endeavor. After that, someone posted a picture of ChatGPT in action.

Although there was no context for the job, it was off-kilter nonetheless and had a general framework. You can start to recognize a pattern of thought after reading what ChatGPT had to say about this concept.

3. Understanding the ‘Geist’

This one is a little broader, but I’ve found ChatGPT to be very helpful in comprehending the overall context of a particular tool, concept, or area of study. The key to grasping the gist or spirit of something is getting the lay of the land; how everyone writes, thinks, and feels about a subject. This could be anything from a book summary to a philosophical question. It’s true that ChatGPT’s moderation procedures and the programmers and geniuses who create its AI models are biased. But ChatGPT is an excellent choice if you want to receive a thorough introduction to something new for work.

Here, ChatGPT takes aim at the “Geist” character.

4. Providing knowledge support

Every now and then, you’ll be given an unexpected job. I now believe it is my duty to let others know that I am available so that we can collaborate. If someone doesn’t get the word, it’s my fault, so if I think it’s possible that they won’t, I should make sure they do. ChatGPT can be very useful for these challenging jobs. Here is an illustration of a work procedure where ChatGPT was very beneficial.

• I receive an email requesting for referrals for a client in my area of expertise.
• I don’t have any time for this, but since that wasn’t made clear, I’ll manage.
• After redacting any sensitive information, I enter the direct query into ChatGPT, and it provides me with a strong first draft.
• I spend five minutes revising and adding background before sending my reply. Everyone is content.
• One to three hours of labor have just been reduced to five minutes. This might be my preferred method of using ChatGPT, in my opinion.

5. Learning to code

I’ve been sharing what I’ve learned at university while working in front end for about ten years. The same is true for any language: exercise is the key to success. But knowing the underlying principles of a programming language is the best method to start using it. Why did they make them? What issue are they resolving? How do they function? What do they serve? What are the finest practices, most importantly? My browser will typically have a million stack overflow and docs tabs open when I run into a coding problem, attempting to piece together old solutions to slightly different issues. There is still a lot of that involved with ChatGPT, but much less. Additionally, when starting to acquire a new language, ChatGPT can show you the ‘geist’ of that language as an excellent primer.

Here’s an example of a discussion question from one of my classes:

6. Elevator Pitches

Here are my two cents on why large language processing improves the elevator pitch, the core of a company selling point. These models, like GPT-3, are able to comprehend the meaning and context of text and produce text that is coherent and contextually pertinent. This recalls me strangely of how Jerry Seinfeld discusses comedy writing. We just say words, to paraphrase and butcher his ideas. Any phrases that come to mind, keeping the ones that elicit the most laughter. Except for comedians, most people don’t look for humor at work, we’re searching for understanding, motivation, camaraderie, solutions and leaving things a little better than they were found. If we use these ideas as our success metrics, ChatGPT can help us choose our words for anything really, including something as vital as the philosophy behind a business. To start, I’d read this book: Your idea is sh*t… change my mind. It’s got a lot of great prompts for the sort of questions required when building an elevator pitch. Chuck these prompts into ChatGPT as a way to get the first draft going. After that, it’s all refinement.
