10 ways to utilize ChatGPT today
Artificial Intelligence (AI) isn’t new – and it’s been impacting our economy, society, and culture for years. Some of the most frequently utilized tech tools, including virtual assistants like Siri, Alexa, and Google Home and recommendation systems used on streaming services already integrate AI.
What’s new is the power, ease, accessibility, usability, flexibility, integrability, and approachability of open AI tools like ChatGPT (Generative Pretrained Transformer) from OpenAI and Bard from Google. Both are chatbots that take a more “human-like” approach and have a strikingly wide range of applications. Thanks to these advances, more than 2000 new AI tools have been launched during the past 30 days.
Certainly, there are legitimate and serious economic, ethical, accuracy, and social concerns related to AI. That said, the reality is that AI won’t be going away, so we need to prepare ourselves for what’s to come. As Darwin said, “It is not the strongest of the species that survives, nor the most intelligent, but the one most responsive to change.”
Used properly and ethically, artificial intelligence has the potential to become an integral part of our problem-solving process.
My contribution to this discussion isn’t my AI expertise — quite the opposite, in fact. Rather, I can only offer my readiness to learn. And with that said, here are 10 ways I’ve attempted to integrate ChatGPT and Bard into my work and life:
- Research, ranging from simple questions to detailed data dumps. I’ve used it to help explain complex topics and make sense of data I’ve pulled from various sources.
- Validate work, asking it to review content to align messaging and information.
- Simulation role play, to identify different perspectives and outcomes
- Enhance engagement and outreach, to discover new influencers, partners, and collaborators.
- Plan, from developing checklists to travel plans.
- Generate ideas, helping to spark strategies and action.
- Create content, offering both updates and enhancements.
- Jump-start a project, offering tips for assignments or tasks.
- Broaden my perspective, through prompts enabling me to “dialogue” with defined characters.
- Train, test, and quiz with specific prompts
What can be accomplished with AI is limited primarily by our creativity in generating effective prompts, as well as by the accuracy of available information and by the ethical questions that have already begun to arise.
