PART I

Getting Started with


ChatGPT
CHAPTER 1

Logging in with
ChatGPT
We explain in this chapter how to log in with ChatGPT and start using it.
To do this, be in front of your computer or mobile phone and follow the
instructions. Let’s get started!

 ccessing the OpenAI Website That


A
Hosts ChatGPT
The first step is to open your browser and enter the URL https://openai.
com/blog/chatgpt. Alternatively, simply type the keyword chatgpt into
a search engine to display the OpenAI company’s website among the top
results. Select the OpenAI company’s website as it is the official site for
ChatGPT.
ChatGPT was created by the American company OpenAI. It was made
available to the public on November 30, 2022. Within three months, there
were already more than 100 million users worldwide, and this number
continues to grow!
The letters “AI” (from OpenAI) stand for artificial intelligence.
Figure 1-1 shows the screen displayed when we enter the keyword
chatgpt in a search engine, in this case, Google.

Figure 1-1. Accessing the official website of ChatGPT from the Google
search engine

Let’s click the displayed link (here the first one in the results,
corresponding to the OpenAI company’s website), and we will arrive at the
official website of ChatGPT (see Figure 1-2).

4
Chapter 1 Logging in with ChatGPT

Figure 1-2. Login window to access ChatGPT

In this window, ChatGPT asks us to log in. The first time you
connect, you need to click the “Sign up” button to register for
ChatGPT. Subsequently, you can click the “Log in” button to directly
access ChatGPT.
Registration with ChatGPT is necessary as it allows you to keep
track of all your interactions with ChatGPT, and you can retrieve all your
conversations with it.

5
Chapter 1 Logging in with ChatGPT

When you click the “Sign up” button, the window shown in Figure 1-3
appears.

Figure 1-3. Signing up for ChatGPT using an email address

This window offers the option to enter your email address or use a
Gmail (Google) or Outlook/Hotmail (Microsoft) email address. If you have
an email address on Gmail or Outlook/Hotmail, click the corresponding
button (Continue with Google or Continue with Microsoft Account) to
make the registration process easier.
Otherwise, enter your email address in the input field.

6
Chapter 1 Logging in with ChatGPT

 reating an Account on ChatGPT with Your


C
Email Address
Let’s assume that you don’t want to log in using a Gmail or Outlook/
Hotmail email address. For example, you want to use your professional
email address, such as eric@ericsarrion.com.
As mentioned earlier, if you have a Gmail or Outlook/Hotmail email
address, click the corresponding button on the displayed page. The
registration process on ChatGPT will be much simpler and faster than the
one described here.
Enter your email address in the displayed input field, and then click
the Continue button, as shown in Figure 1-4.

7
Chapter 1 Logging in with ChatGPT

Figure 1-4. Creating an account on ChatGPT using an email address

You will then see the screen shown in Figure 1-5, which allows you to
choose a password for logging into ChatGPT.

8
Chapter 1 Logging in with ChatGPT

Figure 1-5. Choosing the login password for ChatGPT

After entering your password, click the Continue button again.


A verification email will be sent to the provided email address. You
need to go to your email inbox and click the confirmation button in the
received email.
A new window appears, requesting additional information: your first
name, last name, and date of birth (see Figure 1-6).
The date of birth is used to ensure that you are of legal age and have the
right to use ChatGPT, as described in the terms and conditions of ChatGPT.

9
Chapter 1 Logging in with ChatGPT

The letters DD, MM, and YYYY in the date represent the day (DD),
month (MM), and year (YYYY) of birth. The order of entering these three
pieces of information (DD, MM, and YYYY) may vary depending on the
country you are in, and you must follow the order indicated during entry.
Additionally, the day and month should be entered with two digits (using
a leading zero if the day or month is less than or equal to 9), while the year
should be entered with four digits.

Figure 1-6. Entering your first name, last name, and date of birth

Let’s enter the requested information and click the Continue button.

10
Chapter 1 Logging in with ChatGPT

A new window asks us to verify our phone number (see Figure 1-7). An
SMS will be sent to this number to further confirm our identity.
You may wonder why there are so many precautions taken during
the registration process on ChatGPT. It’s because, unlike using a search
engine like Google (which doesn’t require any personal information to
use), ChatGPT keeps a record of the conversations each user has with it. To
ensure that this conversation history can be maintained and kept private,
the information requested helps to verify that each user is associated with
their respective user account.

Figure 1-7. Entering a phone number to receive the


confirmation SMS
11
Chapter 1 Logging in with ChatGPT

Let’s enter the phone number on which we want to receive the


confirmation SMS and then click the “Send code” button.
A message will be received via SMS, containing a six-digit code that
needs to be entered in the displayed window (see Figure 1-8).

Figure 1-8. Entering the code received via SMS

Once the code is entered, the main ChatGPT window will appear. The
registration process on ChatGPT is complete, and ChatGPT can finally
be used.
Let’s get started!

12
Chapter 1 Logging in with ChatGPT

Description of the Main ChatGPT Window


Once registration on ChatGPT is completed, the main (and only) ChatGPT
window will appear (see Figure 1-9). It will be displayed each time you
log in to the ChatGPT website by clicking the Try ChatGPT button on the
initial page.

Figure 1-9. Main window of ChatGPT

13
Chapter 1 Logging in with ChatGPT

The window is divided into three parts:

• The left part, with a black background, represents the


area where the list of conversations with ChatGPT
is stored. The button at the top of this left part is the
“New chat” button, which allows you to create a new
conversation.

• The central part, with a white background, is where the


exchanges with ChatGPT for a specific conversation
will be displayed. Each time a new conversation is
initiated (by clicking the “New chat” button), this part
is cleared to display the new conversation that started.
It is also possible to display an old conversation by
clicking a conversation stored in the list on the left side.

• The bottom part of the window is where the user enters


their query to ChatGPT. Once the query is written,
ChatGPT displays it in the central part and provides
a response to the query by displaying the response
text gradually. As soon as a conversation is initiated,
ChatGPT provides text that identifies the conversation
in the list of conversations (left part of the window).
This text identifying the conversation can be modified
by the user, and the conversation can also be deleted.

In our future dialogues with ChatGPT, we will be using these three


parts of the ChatGPT window.
At the top of the central part, two buttons are displayed, allowing you
to choose between GPT-3.5 (default) or GPT-4. Let’s now explain what
this means.

14
Chapter 1 Logging in with ChatGPT

Using GPT-3.5 or GPT-4?


The two buttons, GPT-3.5 and GPT-4, displayed at the top of the window,
allow you to choose the data model that ChatGPT will use to retrieve the
information it displays in response to our questions.
By default, the GPT-3.5 button is selected. It corresponds to the free
version of ChatGPT. The GPT-4 model is the paid version of ChatGPT,
currently priced at $20 per month.
One might assume that using the paid version of ChatGPT would
provide more information. Having used it, I did not notice that it provided
additional information after paying for it. Rather, we will get relevant
information by asking ChatGPT the right questions. Knowing how to ask
the right questions to ChatGPT will be explained in Chapter 5 and will be
extensively utilized throughout the book.
However, the paid version of ChatGPT is evolving day by day. As of
today (November 2023), it allows you to create virtual images, analyze
text files, and use external programs called plugins. For businesses using
ChatGPT, these additions can be quite interesting, considering the low cost
to use them.
The entire remainder of this book was written using only the free
version of ChatGPT, which utilizes the GPT-3.5 version of the data model.

Conclusion
In this chapter, you learned how to connect with ChatGPT and display the
main window between the user and ChatGPT.
Now, let’s start a conversation with ChatGPT right away!

15
CHAPTER 2

Dialoguing
with ChatGPT
In this chapter, we will start using ChatGPT and understand how it can be
useful in providing answers to our questions and also in memorizing our
conversations with it.

Starting a Conversation with ChatGPT


To initiate a new conversation with ChatGPT, click the “New chat” button
in the left part of the window (top-left corner) and then enter text in the
input field at the bottom of the window (see Figure 2-1).

Figure 2-1. “New chat” button to initiate a conversation


with ChatGPT

If no conversation has been selected from the list in the left part of the
window, clicking the “New chat” button is not necessary. You can start a
new conversation by directly typing text in the input field at the bottom of
the window.

E. Sarrion, ChatGPT for Beginners, https://doi.org/10.1007/978-1-4842-9804-6_2
Chapter 2 Dialoguing with ChatGPT

As an example, let’s type the following text in the input field: How to
make pizzas? We validate the entered text by pressing the Enter key on
the keyboard or by clicking the button located to the right of the input field
(see Figure 2-2).

Figure 2-2. Entering the text “How to make pizzas?”

Once the text entered by the user has been validated, it appears in the
central part of the window, and ChatGPT starts displaying its response to
the question asked (see Figure 2-3).

Figure 2-3. Conversation “How to make pizzas?” with ChatGPT

18
Chapter 2 Dialoguing with ChatGPT

As this is a new conversation initiated with ChatGPT, the label for this
conversation appears in the left part of the window, which displays the list
of conversations. The text of the label is created by ChatGPT (here, “Pizza-
making instructions,” but it may be different in your case).
It is possible to modify the text of the label using the first button
following the label (represented as a pen writing on a sheet of paper). Let’s
proceed.

Modifying the Label for a Conversation


The label for the new conversation is displayed in the left part of the
ChatGPT window in the format shown in Figure 2-4.

Figure 2-4. Conversation label

Two buttons are positioned after the label text.

• The first button is a pen and allows you to modify the


label text.
• The second button is a trash can icon, allowing you to
delete the entire conversation.

In this case, we are interested in the first button, which allows us to


modify the conversation label text.
Clicking the pen icon opens a text input field where we can edit the
conversation label. After making the desired changes, we can click the
adjacent button to confirm the new label, or we can press the Enter key on
our keyboard to confirm it (see Figure 2-5).

19
Chapter 2 Dialoguing with ChatGPT

Figure 2-5. Text of the conversation label being modified

Let’s replace the previous text with the shorter text “Pizza instructions”
(see Figure 2-6). Then, confirm the modification by pressing the Enter key
or clicking the first button.

Figure 2-6. Modified conversation label

The conversation label now appears modified in the list of


conversations.

Deleting a Conversation
As mentioned earlier, the second button displayed after the conversation
label text (symbolized by a trash can) is used to delete the entire
conversation.
After clicking this button, you need to confirm the deletion by clicking
the Delete button that appears in a new pop-up window (see Figure 2-7).

Figure 2-7. Validation of conversation deletion

20
Chapter 2 Dialoguing with ChatGPT

Once the conversation deletion is confirmed, the conversation will be


removed from the displayed list. It will no longer be accessible.

Deleting All Conversations


When using ChatGPT, you may accumulate a large number of
conversations in the list. It is possible to delete them all at once, which is
much faster than deleting them one by one.
To do this, simply click your login ID located at the bottom left of the
window, below the list of conversations (see Figure 2-8).

Figure 2-8. Clicking your login ID

A pop-up will appear above it, containing the button Settings (see
Figure 2-9).

Figure 2-9. Modifying the settings

Let’s click the Settings button. A window appears, in which the Clear
button allows us to delete all conversations (see Figure 2-10).

the requested deletion. After confirmation, all conversations will be
cleared from the list (see Figure 2-11).

Figure 2-11. Empty conversation list after deleting all conversations

22
Chapter 2 Dialoguing with ChatGPT

Is it possible to delete part of a conversation (instead of the entire


conversation as described earlier)? No, it is not possible because each
conversation is managed by ChatGPT as a whole.
Although we cannot delete part of the conversation, it is possible
to request ChatGPT provide us with a new response instead of the last
response displayed in that conversation.
This option to obtain a new response for a question is available only for
the last response displayed in a conversation. If the question is not the last
one in the conversation, you can simply ask it again to ChatGPT, and it will
respond to it as a new question.
To obtain a new response for the last question asked, we use the
Regenerate button displayed above the input field. Let’s examine this
process.

 odifying the Last Response Displayed


M
by ChatGPT
Once a response is fully displayed on the screen by ChatGPT, the
Regenerate button is shown above the input field, allowing us to request
a new response from ChatGPT for the previously asked question (see
Figure 2-12).
We can use this button when we are not fully satisfied with ChatGPT’s
answer and we want to get another one.

Figure 2-12. Regenerate response button

23
Chapter 2 Dialoguing with ChatGPT

Let’s click the Regenerate button. The previously displayed response


from ChatGPT disappears and is replaced by a new response that appears
in its place (see Figure 2-13).

Figure 2-13. Getting a new response to the question asked

As we asked ChatGPT to regenerate its previous answer, it proposes


that we indicate if its new answer is better than the previous one. By
choosing one of the three choices offered, we help ChatGPT to improve
according to our needs.
In this example, we initiated a conversation with ChatGPT with the
initial topic of “How to make pizzas?” If we continue the conversation
with ChatGPT on this topic (making pizzas), we can stay within the same
conversation. However, if we switch to a different topic, it’s preferable to
start a new conversation.

24
Chapter 2 Dialoguing with ChatGPT

Let’s explain the benefits of continuing the dialogue within the same
conversation or starting a new one.

 ontinuing the Dialogue Within


C
the Same Conversation
ChatGPT remembers all the conversations we have with it. This means
that when we continue a conversation, everything that has been previously
said in that conversation is known by ChatGPT. In the case of a long
conversation (which is often the case), there’s no need to start from
scratch, saving us valuable time.
If the topic of the conversation remains the same as the initial one, it’s
best to continue within that same conversation. This way, we can benefit
from everything that has been previously discussed in that conversation.
However, if the topic changes, it’s better to start a new conversation by
clicking the “New chat” button. This ensures that the two conversations are
kept separate and have their own context.
In the case of a long conversation, we can even ask ChatGPT to provide
us with a summary of everything that has been said. This helps refresh our
memory. Let’s see how we can do that.

 btaining a Summary of an
O
Entire Conversation
Assuming we have had a long conversation with ChatGPT on the topic of
“How to make pizzas,” let’s ask ChatGPT to provide us with a summary
of what has been discussed in that conversation. This will be useful if we
want to quickly recall what has been talked about and potentially continue
the conversation or start a new one.

25
Chapter 2 Dialoguing with ChatGPT

We can simply ask ChatGPT, “Can you summarize in a maximum of


five points what has been discussed in this conversation?” or “Can you
summarize what has been said in this conversation?”
The dialogue with ChatGPT is similar to what we would have with a
human, except that ChatGPT, being a computer program, can respond
more quickly than any human. Let’s ask ChatGPT, for example, to provide
a five-point summary of the conversation (see Figure 2-14).

Figure 2-14. Asking ChatGPT to summarize the conversation

What to Do If ChatGPT’s Response Is Cut Off


Sometimes ChatGPT’s response may stop in the middle of a word or
sentence. This happens often, but there is an easy way to address it.

26
Chapter 2 Dialoguing with ChatGPT

This issue is related to the settings of ChatGPT. One of the settings,


max_length, determines the maximum number of tokens (similar to
words) that the provided response can contain. ChatGPT stops displaying
its response if this limit is reached (by default, it is set to 2,048 tokens).
For example, let’s say we asked ChatGPT to explain the consequences
of climate change. We know that this is a complex topic and the response
will be long, so there is a chance that it may not be fully displayed,
especially if we ask for detailed information.

 User: What are the consequences of climate change? Please detail


each of the points with a lot of details.

ChatGPT starts providing its response but abruptly stops. We display


only the end of its response here to show how to make it continue and
display the rest of the answer.

ChatGPT: (...)

5 - Human health impacts:

Increased heat-related illnesses: Rising temperatures contribute to


more heat-related illnesses and deaths. Heatwaves can cause heat
exhaustion, heatstroke, and exacerbate existing health conditions.
Vulnerable populations, including the elderly, children, and those
with pre-existing health conditions, are at higher risk.

Spread of diseases: Climate change affects the geographical


distribution of disease-carrying vectors. Warmer temperatures and
altered precipitation patterns expand the range of mosquitoes,
ticks, and other disease vectors, leading to the spread of diseases
such as malaria, dengue fever, Lyme disease, and Zika virus.

27
Chapter 2 Dialoguing with ChatGPT

Water and foodborne diseases: Changes in precipitation patterns


and extreme weather events can contaminate water sources and
impact food safety. Floods can lead to the spread of waterborne
diseases like cholera, while crop contamination and improper food
storage can increase the risk

To make ChatGPT continue, simply click the “Continue generating”


button displayed at the bottom of the window (see Figure 2-15). This
button is shown only if ChatGPT’s response has been interrupted due to its
length, as explained earlier.

Figure 2-15. “Continue generating” button

Once you click the “Continue generating” button, ChatGPT will display
the continuation of its response.

Using the OpenAI ChatGPT Application


OpenAI has recently developed an iPhone and Android application for
conveniently using ChatGPT on your mobile phone (see Figure 2-16). This
application allows you to type the text of your question, but it also allows
you to dictate the text that will be submitted to ChatGPT.

32
Chapter 2 Dialoguing with ChatGPT

Conclusion
In this chapter, you learned how to connect to ChatGPT and start using it.
We also explored how conversations are organized in ChatGPT and the
benefits of continuing or starting a new discussion.
In the next chapter, we will delve into exploring ChatGPT to better
utilize its capabilities.

33
CHAPTER 3

Discovering ChatGPT
In this chapter dedicated to the discovery of ChatGPT, we will define
precisely what ChatGPT is and then explore in detail the knowledge
domains covered by ChatGPT. This will allow you to grasp the full extent
of its conversational capabilities. So, without further ado, let’s dive into
the world of ChatGPT and discover how to fully leverage this remarkable
communication tool.

Why the Name ChatGPT?


We will start by explaining why the name ChatGPT was chosen. And who
knows ChatGPT better than ChatGPT itself?
Simply type the question in the input field of the ChatGPT interface.

 User: Could you please explain why the name “ChatGPT” was
chosen to name you? What does the word “Chat” mean, and what
the letters GPT stand for? Please explain it very simply !

Once the question is submitted, the answer will be displayed on the


screen below the question.

 ChatGPT: Certainly! The name “ChatGPT” was chosen to describe


the nature and capabilities of the language model. Let me break it
down for you:

© Eric Sarrion 2023 35


E. Sarrion, ChatGPT for Beginners, https://doi.org/10.1007/978-1-4842-9804-6_3
Chapter 3 Discovering ChatGPT

The name “ChatGPT” was chosen to describe a special computer


program that can have conversations with people. Let’s break
it down:

Chat: “Chat” means having a friendly conversation. So, ChatGPT is


like a computer friend you can talk to and ask questions.

Example: “Hi ChatGPT, can you tell me a joke?”

GPT: “GPT” stands for “Generative Pre-trained Transformer.” It’s


a fancy way of saying that the computer program is really good
at understanding and creating text. It has been trained on lots of
examples to learn how to talk like a human.

Example: “GPT models are like smart machines that can read and
write in a human-like way.”

So, when you put it all together, “ChatGPT” means a computer


program that you can chat with, and it’s designed to have
conversations with you using human-like language.

As we have now learned, the name “ChatGPT” signifies the ability


to engage in interactive discussions with a computer program that
possesses extensive knowledge on a wide range of subjects. This program
will be capable of understanding our questions and responding to us in
textual form.
This is a general explanation of the name; however, we also desire a
detailed explanation of what each of the letters GPT means.

User: Can you explain in detail each of the GPT letters in the name
 
“ChatGPT.” Please explain simply so that beginners understand the
explanation.

36
Chapter 3 Discovering ChatGPT

 ChatGPT: Certainly! Let’s break down the letters of “GPT” in


“ChatGPT”:

1. G: The letter “G” stands for “Generative.” In this


context, it means that the model is capable of
generating or producing text. It can come up with
new sentences or responses based on the input it
receives.

Example: “G” for “Generative” means that ChatGPT


can generate its own text and responses.

2. P: The letter “P” represents “Pre-trained.” Pre-


training refers to the initial phase of training where
the model learns from a large amount of general
text data. It helps the model to understand language
patterns and gain knowledge about a wide range
of topics.

Example: “P” for “Pre-trained” means that ChatGPT


is trained on a lot of data before it starts interacting
with users.

3. T: The letter “T” represents “Transformer.” A


transformer is a type of computer program or model
that is really good at understanding and generating
text. It’s like a smart machine that can read and
write in a human-like way. The transformer model
pays attention to different parts of a sentence to
understand the meaning and context.

Example: “T” stands for “Transformer,” which is a


special technology that helps ChatGPT understand
and generate text just like a human.

37
Chapter 3 Discovering ChatGPT

So, when you combine the individual meanings of each letter,


“GPT” signifies that ChatGPT is a model that is generative (G),
pre-trained (P), and uses the transformer architecture (T).

In summary, we can say the following:

• Chat: This symbolizes the dialogue between the user


and the computer program.

• Generative: The computer program generates


coherent and well-constructed sentences as output.

• Pre-trained: To produce coherent sentences, it is


necessary to gather information from various sources.
This is done in a pre-training phase, where billions of
pieces of information are collected and later utilized.

• Transformer: This represents the phase of


understanding the user’s question and internally
transforming it to provide coherent responses.

We have an explanation of why the name “ChatGPT” was chosen by its


creators. Now, let’s explore what ChatGPT can be used for and how to use it.

Definition of ChatGPT
Now let’s ask ChatGPT to explain what it is and how it can be used.

User: Can you explain simply what ChatGPT is and how I can use it?
 

 ChatGPT: Certainly! ChatGPT is an advanced language model


developed by OpenAI. It has been trained on a vast amount of text
data and can understand and generate human-like responses. You
can think of it as a computer program that can have a conversation
with you in natural language.

38
Chapter 3 Discovering ChatGPT

Using ChatGPT is straightforward. All you need to do is type


your message or question, and it will provide a response based
on its training and knowledge. You can use it for a wide range
of purposes, such as getting information, seeking explanations,
brainstorming ideas, or even having a casual chat.

To get started, simply type your query or statement, and ChatGPT


will generate a response. You can continue the conversation by
asking follow-up questions or providing more context as needed.
Remember that while ChatGPT is powerful, it may not always
provide perfect or accurate answers. It’s always a good idea to verify
information from reliable sources when necessary.

Feel free to ask any specific questions or explore various topics with
ChatGPT.

In its explanation, ChatGPT tells us that “it has been trained on a vast
amount of text data.” Let’s ask it what that means.

 User: Can you explain what “it has been trained on a vast amount of
text data” means?

 ChatGPT: Certainly! When we say that ChatGPT has been trained


on a vast amount of text data, it means that it has been exposed to
and processed a large volume of written text from diverse sources.
This extensive training helps ChatGPT learn patterns, understand
language, and generate coherent responses.

During the training process, the model is fed with sentences or


chunks of text and tasked with predicting what comes next. By
training on a massive corpus of text, which can include books,
articles, websites, and more, ChatGPT learns to recognize and
generate language patterns, grammar, and context.

39
Chapter 3 Discovering ChatGPT

That’s why language models like ChatGPT can appear so competent


in their ability to understand and answer questions in natural
language; they have been trained on a vast amount of data to learn
how to comprehend and use human language.

By being exposed to such a large and diverse dataset, ChatGPT can


acquire a broad range of knowledge and develop an understanding
of various topics. However, it’s important to note that while ChatGPT
can generate responses based on patterns it has learned, it doesn’t
possess real-time information or have personal experiences like a
human would.

It’s also worth mentioning that the training data for ChatGPT was
collected before September 2021, so any events, developments, or
information that occurred after that date may be unknown to the
model unless it has been updated with newer data.

ChatGPT explains to us that it has studied extensively, certainly more


than any human being! It has also sought to connect information together
to have a comprehensive understanding across a wide range of domains.
This allows it, as it says itself, to understand and use human language.
In the meantime, it is interesting to know the domains of knowledge
that ChatGPT possesses, which seem to be very extensive. Let’s examine
this question now.

Knowledge Domains of ChatGPT


Although we may have the impression that ChatGPT knows everything,
let’s ask it to specify its areas of expertise.

User: What are the knowledge domains in which ChatGPT is


 
competent?

40
Chapter 3 Discovering ChatGPT

 ChatGPT: ChatGPT has been trained on a wide range of text


from diverse domains, which allows it to provide information and
generate responses on various topics. However, it’s important to note
that ChatGPT’s knowledge is based on patterns and information
in the text it has been trained on, and it may not have expertise
in specific domains or the ability to access real-time information.
Some of the common knowledge domains in which ChatGPT can be
competent include:

• General Knowledge: ChatGPT has a broad


understanding of general knowledge topics such as
history, geography, science, literature, sports, popular

from reliable sources and consult domain experts when needed,
especially for critical or specialized topics.

We can see that ChatGPT’s knowledge domains are vast. However,


ChatGPT itself advises us to verify the information it provides with reliable
sources.
Indeed, the model used by ChatGPT is not updated on a daily basis, so
depending on the questions we ask, it’s possible that ChatGPT may not be
aware of the latest information on a particular topic.
The knowledge domains mentioned by ChatGPT cover general
subjects such as sciences, mathematics, history, geography, culture, and
more. However, one might be curious to know if there are any less generic
domains that ChatGPT is knowledgeable in. Let’s ask the question.

User: Are there any other unexpected areas of expertise? Please list
 
at least 10 of the most interesting ones!

42

Always verify information from reliable sources for accurate and up-
to-date details.

In fact, the limits of ChatGPT are those of our imagination and the
questions we ask it. But it can always help us come up with new ideas, like
the ones listed earlier.
Since ChatGPT seems to know a lot of things, let’s now wonder if it has
an answer to everything!

46
Chapter 3 Discovering ChatGPT

 oes ChatGPT Have an Answer


D
to Everything?
Unlike search engines like Google, ChatGPT provides a single response
to the question asked. There won’t be a list of responses in the form
of Internet links to click and explore the associated topic. ChatGPT’s
response is displayed directly below the user’s question.
Since ChatGPT provides only one answer to our question, we can hope
that this answer is as accurate as possible.
However, we may wonder if we can ask any question and always expect
to receive an answer. To find out if there are limitations, let’s ask ChatGPT
what its limits are.

 User: Can it happen that we ask questions for which ChatGPT


doesn’t know the answer?

 ChatGPT: Yes, it is indeed possible for ChatGPT to not know the


answer to a question. Although ChatGPT has been trained on a
massive amount of textual data, it is unlikely that it has seen every
possible combination of sentences or topics.

It is also possible that the question asked is not formulated clearly or


coherently, which can make it difficult for ChatGPT to understand
the request.

In such cases, ChatGPT may not be able to provide an accurate or


satisfying answer. However, since ChatGPT has been trained on a
wide variety of texts, it may be capable of providing an approximate
answer or suggesting relevant information that could help address
the question more comprehensively.

47
Chapter 3 Discovering ChatGPT

In response to our question, ChatGPT first explains that the topics


of discussion are vast, and it is difficult to know everything about every
subject. ChatGPT is humble.... But ChatGPT is still regularly enriched with
new knowledge.
For example, the language model used in GPT-3 (version 3 of
the ChatGPT data model, which dates back to 2020) uses 175 billion
parameters, while GPT-4 (released in 2023 as a paid subscription model for
$20 per month) would use many more (the exact number is part of rumors
and is not known for certain to this day).
ChatGPT then indicates in its response that the formulation of the
question asked is important in order to obtain a precise and satisfying
answer. We will explore in Chapter 5 the main rules for asking ChatGPT
good questions to get the desired answers.
The limits of ChatGPT are determined by the questions we ask it. We
need to learn how to formulate questions, knowing that a simple variation
in the words used for the question can produce completely different
answers.
For example, we asked ChatGPT about its domains of knowledge, but
when we asked for more unexpected domains, it provided us with other
domains that were not part of its initial list.

Conclusion
In this chapter, you gained a brief overview of ChatGPT’s domains of
knowledge and understood that its main strength lies in understanding
users’ questions to provide the most relevant answers.
To understand how ChatGPT manages to grasp the meaning of our
questions and formulate appropriate responses, it is interesting to learn
the basics of natural language processing. We will explain them now.

ChatGPT
CHAPTER 4

The Foundations
of ChatGPT
In this chapter, we will explore the internal workings of ChatGPT. ChatGPT
is an artificial intelligence model that utilizes neural networks to
understand and generate natural language. Neural networks are
mathematical structures that simulate the functioning of the human
brain and enable ChatGPT to learn language patterns and rules from vast
datasets.
With this understanding of natural language, ChatGPT is capable of
comprehending your questions and instructions and generating coherent
and relevant responses. Let’s now delve into the foundations of ChatGPT
to discover how this revolutionary technology works internally.
This chapter, although somewhat theoretical, provides insights into
how a program like ChatGPT operates. The explanations contained within
it are not essential for effectively using ChatGPT, so you may choose to skip
this chapter initially.

The Basics of Natural Language Processing


We will now introduce the fundamental concepts of natural language
processing (NLP) and explain how ChatGPT utilizes these concepts to
understand and generate text. The goal is to provide you with a clear
understanding of the techniques employed by ChatGPT.

© Eric Sarrion 2023 51


E. Sarrion, ChatGPT for Beginners, https://doi.org/10.1007/978-1-4842-9804-6_4
Chapter 4 The Foundations of ChatGPT

To begin, let’s ask ChatGPT to explain the basics of natural language in


simple terms that are easy to comprehend.

User: Could you explain the basics of natural language to me in


 
easily understandable terms?

 ChatGPT: Sure! Here’s a simple explanation of the basics of natural


language:

Natural language is the way humans communicate with each other


using words and sentences. Computers, on the other hand, require
specific instructions to understand and perform tasks. The basics
of natural language involve teaching computers how to understand
and process human language in a similar way to how humans do.

There are two important aspects to the basics of natural language:

Language Understanding: This involves teaching the computer


how to understand the meaning of a given sentence. It includes
identifying individual words, understanding their meanings, and
how they relate to each other. For example, understanding that
the sentence “The cat is sleeping on the mat” means that a cat is
sleeping on a mat.
Language Generation: Once the computer understands language,
it also needs to be able to generate language coherently and
naturally. This means being able to form correct and understandable
sentences to answer questions or provide information.

To enable a computer to understand and generate language,


different techniques are used. Among these are neural networks,
which are mathematical models inspired by the functioning of the
human brain. These neural networks are trained on large amounts of
linguistic data to recognize language patterns and structures.

52
Chapter 4 The Foundations of ChatGPT

Natural language processing and artificial intelligence are also used


to enhance the language understanding and generation capabilities
of computers. Language models such as GPT (Generative Pre-
trained Transformer) are examples of AI models specifically
designed to understand and generate natural language.

In summary, the basics of natural language involve teaching


computers to understand and generate human language in a similar
way to humans. This enables computers to communicate with users
more naturally and perform language-based tasks more effectively.

ChatGPT explains here that natural language understanding involves


two steps.

1. The first step, known as language understanding,


involves comprehending the user’s question.

2. The second step, known as language generation,


involves providing a response in natural language.

Indeed, intuitively, we can understand that these two steps (language


understanding and language generation) are employed when we ask a
question to ChatGPT and receive its response.
To achieve this, ChatGPT uses neural networks, which it explains
are mathematical models inspired by the human brain. It also utilizes
techniques called natural language processing and machine learning.
Let’s explore in the following sections what these two concepts (natural
language processing and machine learning) encompass.

Machine Learning and NLP


Let’s now examine the machine learning technique that enables ChatGPT
to understand our questions and formulate the most appropriate responses.

53
Chapter 4 The Foundations of ChatGPT

User: Please explain in simple terms what natural language


 
processing is with ChatGPT.

 ChatGPT: Natural Language Processing (NLP) with ChatGPT


involves using machine learning techniques to teach ChatGPT how
to understand and generate human language interactively.

Here’s how it works:

Language Understanding: ChatGPT is trained on vast amounts of


linguistic data from various sources. This enables it to learn patterns
and structures of human language. When you ask a question or
provide text, ChatGPT uses the knowledge gained during training to
understand the meaning of your input.

Response Generation: Once ChatGPT understands the query, it


uses its learned knowledge to generate an appropriate response.
It can produce coherent and informative text to answer your
questions, engage in a given topic, or even tell a story. Machine
learning allows ChatGPT to analyze language patterns and
structures to generate responses that are consistent with the given
context.

Interactive Learning: ChatGPT also utilizes interactive learning to


improve. When it interacts with users, it receives feedback on the
quality of its responses. This feedback helps refine the ChatGPT
model, identify errors, and adjust responses to make them more
accurate and relevant.

Continual Evolution: OpenAI, the company behind ChatGPT,


regularly updates the model to improve its performance. They use
advanced machine learning techniques to train ChatGPT on new
data, expand its knowledge, and enable it to better understand and
generate natural language over time.

54
Chapter 4 The Foundations of ChatGPT

In summary, natural language processing with ChatGPT involves


using machine learning techniques to teach ChatGPT how to
understand and generate human language. This enables ChatGPT
to interact with users more naturally, understand posed questions,
and generate coherent and informative responses. Interactive
learning and ongoing updates contribute to improving ChatGPT’s
performance over time.

ChatGPT explains here that it utilizes an immense knowledge base,


which allows it to start understanding the basics of human language
through the examples it has encountered in its knowledge base. This
enables it to understand questions asked by users and provide them with
the most appropriate responses.
Furthermore, it relies on user feedback. After each response displayed
by ChatGPT, it is possible to request a new response using the Regenerate
button displayed below ChatGPT’s response. In the case of requesting a new
response, ChatGPT seeks feedback on the new response (see Figure 4-1):

• Is the new response better than the previous one? If


yes, click the thumbs-up button.

• Is the new response worse than the previous one? If


yes, click the thumbs-down button.

• Are both responses equivalent? If yes, click the


equal sign.

Chapter 4 The Foundations of ChatGPT

This technique of improving the model, called interactive learning,


allows ChatGPT to continuously improve. It enables the generation of new
models that contain even more useful and reliable information.
We have seen the technique of natural language machine learning
used by ChatGPT. This technique is only possible thanks to the use of
neural networks, which are comparable to the human brain. Now let’s see
how these neural networks are used in ChatGPT.

Neural Networks and ChatGPT


We now address neural networks, which are at the core of ChatGPT’s
functioning. We will explain how these networks are used for natural
language machine learning and how they enable text generation by
ChatGPT.
A neural network is a mathematical model that imitates the
functioning of the human brain. In the context of ChatGPT, they allow for
understanding user questions and providing appropriate responses.
Let’s ask ChatGPT to explain how neural networks contribute to
natural language learning.

User: Explain, in very simple terms, how neural networks contribute


 
to natural language learning.

 ChatGPT: Here is a very simple explanation of how neural networks


contribute to natural language learning:

Neural networks play a crucial role in natural language learning by


enabling computers to analyze and understand human language.
Here’s how it works:

Processing linguistic data: Neural networks are trained on large


amounts of linguistic data, such as sentences and written or spoken
texts. This data is used to teach neural networks the patterns and
rules of language.

56
Chapter 4 The Foundations of ChatGPT

Word representation: Neural networks assign a numerical


representation to each word in the language. These representations,
called “word vectors,” allow the neural network to understand and
manipulate words mathematically.

Pattern and relationship detection: Neural networks analyze


linguistic data to search for patterns and relationships between
words and phrases. They learn to identify frequent associations
between words, understand grammatical structure, and capture
contextual meanings.

Response generation: Once neural networks have been trained,


they can be used to generate responses based on the acquired
knowledge. When given a question or instruction, neural networks
use the learned patterns to produce appropriate responses.

Continuous improvement: Neural networks are continuously


improved through training on new data and parameter adjustments.
This strengthens their understanding of natural language and
improves the quality of generated responses.

In summary, neural networks contribute to natural language


learning by analyzing linguistic data, identifying patterns and
relationships between words, and using this information to
understand and generate language more accurately. They enable
computers to comprehend human language and communicate with
users in a more natural manner.

As seen in ChatGPT’s response, computational processing is


performed to understand sentences in natural language. Each word in
the sentence is represented computationally (what ChatGPT calls word
representation), as well as the possible relationships between words (called
pattern and relationship detection). It is evident that to accomplish this

57
Chapter 4 The Foundations of ChatGPT

in all languages, considerable computational power must be utilized.


Additionally, we see the training and continuous improvement phases that
were observed during natural language machine learning.

Conclusion
In this somewhat theoretical chapter, we explored the foundations of
ChatGPT and its internal functioning based on neural networks. We
discovered how ChatGPT is trained on large amounts of linguistic data,
enabling it to understand and generate natural language.
Neural networks play a key role in analyzing patterns and relationships
between words, allowing ChatGPT to produce coherent and relevant
responses. Continuous learning and model improvement ensure better
understanding and increasingly accurate responses.
By understanding these foundations, let’s now explore how to
effectively use ChatGPT by asking the right questions.

Tips for Using


ChatGPT Effectively
In this chapter, we will discuss precautions to ensure that the responses
generated by ChatGPT are reliable and appropriate. We will address
common questions you may have about using ChatGPT, including how to
ask questions to obtain the best responses.

Asking Good Questions to ChatGPT


Since ChatGPT’s work begins with the text entered by the user in the input
field of the ChatGPT window, it is important to understand how to ask
good questions that will elicit the best responses from ChatGPT.
Let’s pose the question to ChatGPT, so it can explain the best way to
ask questions.

 User: How can I ask a question to ChatGPT that will elicit the right
responses?

Chapter 5 Tips for Using ChatGPT Effectively

 ChatGPT: To increase the likelihood of receiving relevant and


accurate responses from ChatGPT, here are a few tips for asking
questions:

1. Be Clear and Specific: Try to express your question clearly


and specifically. Avoid ambiguous or vague wording that
could lead to confusion. The more precise your question
is, the better chance ChatGPT has of understanding your
intent and providing a suitable response.

2. Provide Context: Offering context can be helpful for


ChatGPT to better understand your question. Include
relevant details, background information, or any
specific constraints or conditions that are important
to your query. Context helps the model provide more
accurate and tailored responses.

3. Ask One Question at a Time: Presenting a single


question in each input rather than multiple questions
in a single sentence can help ChatGPT focus on
addressing one topic at a time. This increases the
chances of getting a clear and specific response.

4. Specify the Desired Information: If you have a


particular type of information or format you’re looking
for, make it explicit in your question. For example, if
you want a definition, ask, “What is the definition of
X?” If you prefer a list of examples, request, “Can you
provide some examples of X?”

5. Seek Clarification: If ChatGPT’s response is unclear or


doesn’t fully address your question, don’t hesitate to
ask for clarification. You can ask follow-up questions or
provide additional details to guide ChatGPT towards a
more satisfactory response.

60
Chapter 5 Tips for Using ChatGPT Effectively

6. Manage Expectations: Remember that while ChatGPT


strives to provide accurate and helpful information,
it may not always have access to real-time data or
possess expertise in specialized domains. Double-
checking information from reliable sources is a good
practice when accuracy is crucial.

Using these strategies can enhance the effectiveness of your


interactions with ChatGPT and improve the chances of receiving
useful and relevant responses.

ChatGPT explains that the formulation of the question is important. It


is necessary to be clear, precise, and use simple sentences that are easy to
understand.
Lastly, let’s not forget that ChatGPT remembers everything that has
been said in a single conversation, which allows us to avoid starting from
scratch every time. Therefore, questions asked within a conversation
benefit from the previous questions and answers in that conversation,
even if the conversation spans multiple days.
To engage in a good dialogue with ChatGPT, we can summarize these
tips with the following points:

• Formulate a clear and precise question.

• Use specific terms in the question.

• Provide context.

• Stay within the same conversation if needed.

Through these recommendations, let’s explore examples of questions


that should not be asked to ChatGPT, as the responses would not be
relevant. We will then see the good questions to ask that will yield
interesting answers.

61
Chapter 5 Tips for Using ChatGPT Effectively

E xamples of Poorly Formulated Questions


Asked to ChatGPT
To better understand the previous explanations, let’s ask ChatGPT to
provide us with examples of poorly formulated questions and explain why
they are not well-formed.

User: Can you give examples of questions that are not well-
 
formulated to ChatGPT and explain why they are not appropriate?

 ChatGPT: Certainly! Here are a few examples of questions that may


not be well-formulated for ChatGPT and why they might not yield
appropriate responses:

1. Unclear and Ambiguous Questions:

–– “Tell me about it.” This question lacks clarity and


does not provide any specific topic or context for
ChatGPT to understand what “it” refers to.

–– “What’s the best movie?” The question doesn’t


specify any criteria or context for determining the
“best” movie, making it difficult for ChatGPT to
provide a meaningful response.

2. Overly Broad Questions:

–– “Explain everything about biology.” This question is


too broad and encompasses an entire field of study.
It is not feasible to provide a comprehensive expla-
nation of an extensive subject in a single response.

3. Multiple Questions in One:


–– “What is the capital of France, and who is the
current president?” This question combines two
distinct questions in a single sentence. Breaking

62
Chapter 5 Tips for Using ChatGPT Effectively

them into separate questions improves clarity and


allows ChatGPT to address each question
individually.

4. Questions Requiring Real-Time Information:

–– “What is the current temperature in New York?”


ChatGPT’s training data is based on information
available up until September 2021, so it does not
have access to real-time data. Therefore, it may not
be able to provide the most up-to-date temperature
information.

5. Complex or Technical Queries:

–– “Explain the intricacies of quantum physics.”


ChatGPT, while knowledgeable to a certain extent,
may not have the expertise to provide in-depth
explanations of complex scientific concepts. It’s
better to consult specialized resources or experts
for such detailed topics.

6. Opinion-based Questions:
–– “What is the best programming language?”
Preferences for programming languages vary, and
what might be considered “best” depends on
specific use cases and personal preferences.
ChatGPT may not offer a definitive answer but
could provide general information about popular
programming languages.

By avoiding unclear, overly broad, multi-part, real-time dependent,


overly complex, or opinion-based questions, you can help ChatGPT
understand your queries better and improve the chances of
receiving appropriate responses.

63
Chapter 5 Tips for Using ChatGPT Effectively

We can see from these examples what not to do with ChatGPT, which
is to ask ambiguous, poorly formulated, or overly complex questions. In
contrast, let’s now look at examples of properly posed questions that will
lead to relevant answers.

E xamples of Well-Formulated Questions


Asked to ChatGPT
Let’s now explore a few examples of well-formulated questions to ask
ChatGPT. Let’s ask it to provide us with some and explain why it considers
them to be correctly posed.

User: Conversely, could you give examples of “good questions” and


 
explain why they are well-formulated?

 ChatGPT: Certainly! Here are a few examples of well-formulated


questions and why they are effective:

1. Clear and Specific Questions:

–– “What are the symptoms of COVID-19?” This question


is clear and specific, focusing on a specific topic. It
enables ChatGPT to provide a concise answer with
relevant information about COVID-19 symptoms.

2. Contextual Questions:

–– “In the book ‘To Kill a Mockingbird,’ what is the


main theme?” Providing context about the book
title helps ChatGPT understand the specific work
you are referring to. It allows ChatGPT to provide a
more accurate and tailored response about the
main theme of the book.

64
Chapter 5 Tips for Using ChatGPT Effectively

3. Sequential Questions:

–– “Who won the Best Actor Oscar in 2020, and what


was the film?” Breaking down multiple questions
into sequential ones allows ChatGPT to address
each question individually. It improves clarity and
helps ChatGPT provide specific responses for each
part of the question.

4. Questions with Specific Criteria:

–– “Can you recommend a good Italian restaurant in San


Francisco?” By specifying the criteria of “good” and
“Italian” and providing the location of San Francisco,
ChatGPT can offer a more relevant and targeted
recommendation based on the given preferences.

5. Conceptual Questions:

–– “What is the difference between climate and


weather?” This question asks for a comparison
between two related but distinct concepts. It allows
ChatGPT to provide an explanation of the funda-
mental differences between climate and weather.

6. Comparative Questions:

–– “What are the advantages and disadvantages of


renewable energy?” This question prompts ChatGPT
to provide both positive and negative aspects of a
specific topic, facilitating a balanced response that
considers both advantages and disadvantages.

By formulating clear, specific, contextual, sequential, criteria-based,


conceptual, or comparative questions, you enable ChatGPT to
better understand your intentions and provide more accurate and
informative responses.

65
Chapter 5 Tips for Using ChatGPT Effectively

Certainly, the world is evolving every day, and so is the knowledge of it.
As a result, the model used by ChatGPT needs to be constantly updated to
provide the most up-to-date answers. Therefore, if we ask ChatGPT about
the film that won the Oscar this year in Hollywood, it won’t be able to give
us the correct answer if the data hasn’t been updated.
Based on the explanations provided by ChatGPT on how to formulate
questions, let’s try to derive some simple rules to follow.

L earning to Formulate Questions


to ChatGPT
Based on what has been discussed, we can derive a simple rule: it’s better
to write short sentences expressing one idea at a time, rather than a long
sentence. This often means writing multiple sentences separated by
periods rather than a single sentence with multiple commas.
We can ask ChatGPT to confirm this. Let’s inquire whether it’s better
to write a long sentence with commas or multiple sentences separated by
periods.

User: I noticed that when asking you questions, it’s better to use
 
short sentences separated by periods rather than commas. Can you
confirm this and explain why, providing examples?

 ChatGPT: Yes, using short sentences separated by periods instead


of commas can often be more effective when interacting with
ChatGPT. Here’s why:

1. Improved Comprehension: Breaking down your


input into shorter sentences helps ChatGPT better
understand the structure and intent of each individual
statement. It reduces the chances of ambiguity or
confusion that may arise with lengthy, comma-
separated sentences.

66
Chapter 5 Tips for Using ChatGPT Effectively

For example:

–– Comma-separated sentence: “What is the capital of


France and who is the current president?”

–– Period-separated sentences: “What is the capital of


France? Who is the current president?”

By splitting the sentence into two separate


questions, ChatGPT can grasp that you are seeking
information about the capital of France and the
current president separately.

2. Clear Separation of Ideas: Periods provide a clearer


separation between different ideas or questions,
allowing ChatGPT to process them independently. This
helps avoid potential blending or merging of multiple
questions or statements into a single response.

For example:

–– Comma-separated sentence: “Tell me about the


history of Rome, and what are the popular tourist
attractions there?”
–– Period-separated sentences: “Tell me about the
history of Rome. What are the popular tourist
attractions there?”

By using periods, you explicitly present two distinct


questions, enabling ChatGPT to address each
inquiry separately and provide more focused
responses.

3. Enhanced Readability: Shorter sentences are


generally easier to read and understand for both
humans and AI models. They facilitate clearer

67
Chapter 5 Tips for Using ChatGPT Effectively

communication and reduce cognitive load, making


it easier for ChatGPT to process and generate
coherent responses.

For example:

–– Comma-separated sentence: “Can you recommend


a good book that is both a mystery and a romance?”

–– Period-separated sentences: “Can you recommend


a good book? It should be both a mystery and a
romance.”

By splitting the sentence into two, the second statement serves as


a clear criterion for the recommended book, enhancing readability
and guiding ChatGPT to offer more suitable suggestions.

While ChatGPT can handle a variety of sentence structures, using


shorter sentences separated by periods often leads to better
understanding and more precise responses. It promotes clarity,
disambiguation, and effective communication between you and
the model.

This rule allows for better results from ChatGPT because its
understanding of the question is improved.
Remember to use this approach if you find that ChatGPT is not directly
answering your question or if it is considering only certain parts of the
question in its response.

Presenting ChatGPT as an Expert in a Field


It can be useful at times to position ChatGPT as an expert in a specific
domain. The provided responses will be of better quality as ChatGPT
strives to meet our expectations.

68
Chapter 5 Tips for Using ChatGPT Effectively

This rule, like the previous one, is not mandatory, but if you find
that ChatGPT is not providing a satisfactory answer, you can use it. For
example, we will use it later to indicate to ChatGPT that it is our physical
therapist, as its previous responses were too vague and uninteresting.
Let’s start by asking ChatGPT if its responses are of better quality when
positioned as an expert in a particular domain.

 User: I noticed that if we tell you that you are a specialist in a subject,
the quality of your responses improves. Could you confirm this and
explain why?

 ChatGPT: As a language model, I don’t have formal specialization


in a specific domain. I am designed to be versatile and capable of
answering a wide range of topics and questions. My ability to provide
quality responses depends on the breadth and diversity of the
training I have received on those subjects.

However, if you present me as specialized in a particular subject, it


can influence how I generate responses. When you provide me with
specific context or present me as an expert in a field, I can adjust my
responses accordingly and utilize the knowledge I have acquired
during training to provide more precise and relevant information.

In summary, while I am not a formal specialist in a specific domain,


if you present me as specialized in a subject, it can influence how
I generate responses by utilizing the knowledge I have acquired
during training. However, my responses should always be verified
and validated by reliable sources.

As ChatGPT explains, positioning it as an expert can influence how it


generates responses.
Note that whether positioned as an expert or not, ChatGPT always
provides a response. If you find ChatGPT’s response to be too superficial, it
may be beneficial to position it as an expert in the targeted domain.

69
Chapter 5 Tips for Using ChatGPT Effectively

Let’s ask ChatGPT for examples to see the difference in responses


when it is positioned as an expert and when it is not.

User: Give examples where positioning you as an expert improves


 
the quality of the responses. Ask the question without expertise,
and then ask the same question with expertise. We should see the
difference in the responses.

 ChatGPT: Let’s assume you ask me questions about astronomy:

Question without presenting expertise:

What is the size of the planet Mars?

Generic response:

Mars has a diameter of approximately 6,779 kilometers.

Question with presenting expertise:

As an astronomy expert, can you tell me the size of the


planet Mars?

Response tailored to the assumed expertise:

The planet Mars has a diameter of approximately 6,779 kilometers. It


is about half the size of Earth.
In this example, by presenting me as an astronomy expert, the
response includes additional information about the relative size of
Mars compared to Earth, which can be considered a higher-quality
answer for someone interested in astronomy.

This first example gives an idea of the differences obtained when


positioning ChatGPT as an expert in astronomy. Let’s ask ChatGPT for new
examples to better see the differences.

User: Give me three more examples so I can clearly see the


 
difference.

70
Chapter 5 Tips for Using ChatGPT Effectively

 ChatGPT: Sure! Here are three more examples to illustrate how


presenting me as an expert can influence the responses:

Example 1 - Field: Psychology and Mental Well-being

Question without presenting expertise:

How to manage daily stress?

Generic response:

To manage daily stress, it is recommended to practice relaxation


techniques such as deep breathing and meditation.

Question with presenting expertise:

As a psychology expert, could you explain how to manage


daily stress?

Response adapted to the assumed expertise:

To manage daily stress, it is important to implement stress


management techniques such as regular exercise, time
management, assertive communication, and adopting a positive
attitude.

Example 2 - Field: Investment and Finance


Question without presenting expertise:

What are the most common types of investments?

Generic response:

The most common types of investments include stocks, bonds,


mutual funds, and real estate.

Question with presenting expertise:

71
Chapter 5 Tips for Using ChatGPT Effectively

As an investment expert, can you tell me about the most common


types of investments?

Response adapted to the assumed expertise:

For a diversified portfolio, it is important to include different asset


classes. Stocks offer long-term growth potential, bonds provide fixed
income and protection against market volatility, mutual funds allow
for instant diversification, and real estate can offer stable returns and
protection against inflation.

Example 3 - Field: Cooking and Gastronomy

Question without presenting expertise:

Could you give me tips for preparing a creamy risotto?

Generic response:

To prepare a creamy risotto, you will need Arborio rice, vegetable


broth, onion, white wine, grated Parmesan cheese, and butter.

Question with presenting expertise:

As an expert in Italian cuisine, could you give me tips for


preparing a creamy risotto?
Response adapted to the assumed expertise:

To prepare a creamy risotto, it is important to use Arborio rice and


gradually add the vegetable broth while constantly stirring. For
a vegetarian variation, you can replace the vegetable broth with
mushroom broth and add sautéed mushrooms for more flavor.

These examples demonstrate how the context of assumed


expertise can influence the responses by providing specific
information, advanced recommendations, or specialized advice in a
particular field.

72
Chapter 5 Tips for Using ChatGPT Effectively

It’s worth mentioning again that this technique is useful only when you
need ChatGPT to provide more relevant information than what it initially
generates. You don’t need to position ChatGPT as an expert every time you
interact with it.

Ask ChatGPT to Express Itself Simply


It can happen that, depending on the question asked to ChatGPT, its
response might be difficult to read because of the terms used, the level
of the subject, etc. In such cases, feel free to ask ChatGPT to rephrase
its answer.
Let’s take the example of artificial intelligence, which is obviously a
complex topic. Let’s ask ChatGPT to explain it to us. Based on its response,
we will then ask the same question but with some variations in how the
question is formulated.

 User: Can you explain what artificial intelligence is?

 ChatGPT: Certainly! Artificial Intelligence (AI) refers to the


simulation of human intelligence processes by machines,
particularly computer systems. It involves creating systems or
software that can perform tasks that would typically require
human intelligence, such as problem-solving, learning, reasoning,
perception, language understanding, and decision-making.

AI systems aim to replicate or mimic human cognitive functions


in a way that allows them to process and analyze data, learn from
experience, adapt to new information, and make decisions or
predictions. The ultimate goal of AI is to develop machines that can
perform tasks intelligently, often surpassing human capabilities in
terms of speed, accuracy, and processing large amounts of data.

73
Chapter 5 Tips for Using ChatGPT Effectively

AI is a broad field that encompasses various subfields and


approaches. Some of the key areas within AI include:

Machine Learning (ML): This is a subset of AI that focuses on


developing algorithms that enable computers to learn from and
make predictions or decisions based on data. It includes techniques
like neural networks, decision trees, and support vector machines.

Deep Learning: This is a specialized form of machine learning


that involves using neural networks with multiple layers (hence
“deep”) to process and analyze complex data, such as images, audio,
and text.

Natural Language Processing (NLP): NLP involves teaching


computers to understand, interpret, and generate human language.
It’s the technology behind chatbots, language translation, and
sentiment analysis.

Computer Vision: This area involves enabling computers to


interpret and understand visual information from the world, such as
images and videos. It’s used in facial recognition, object detection,
and autonomous vehicles.

Reinforcement Learning: This type of machine learning involves


training agents to make sequences of decisions in an environment
to maximize a cumulative reward. It’s often used in scenarios like
training robots to perform tasks.

Expert Systems: These are AI systems that emulate the decision-


making ability of a human expert in a specific domain. They are built
using a knowledge base of facts and rules.

Robotics: AI and robotics intersect to create intelligent machines


that can perform physical tasks autonomously or with minimal
human intervention.

74
Chapter 5 Tips for Using ChatGPT Effectively

AI Ethics and Fairness: As AI becomes more prevalent, there is a


growing concern about the ethical implications of its use, including
issues related to bias, transparency, accountability, and job
displacement.

AI has made remarkable advancements in recent years and has


been applied to various industries, including healthcare, finance,
transportation, entertainment, and more. However, despite these
advancements, AI still has limitations and challenges to overcome,
such as common-sense reasoning, understanding context, and
achieving a deeper understanding of human emotions and behaviors.

ChatGPT’s answer is complex. Let’s ask it to explain in a simpler way so


that a 15-year-old child can understand.

 User: This is so complicated! Can you explain to me what artificial


intelligence is, as if you were talking to a 15-year-old?

 ChatGPT: Of course! Imagine you have a really smart computer


buddy. This computer buddy can learn things and figure out stuff
just like you do, but it uses super-fast math and special tricks to do it.
This buddy can look at pictures, read text, or listen to sounds, and it
starts to understand what those things mean.

For example, think about how you learn to recognize cats and
dogs. You’ve seen lots of pictures of cats and dogs, so you know the
difference. Well, the smart computer buddy can also look at lots and
lots of pictures of cats and dogs and learn how to tell them apart,
even though it’s just a computer.

And remember how you learn from your mistakes? When you play a
game and mess up, you know not to do that next time. The computer
buddy can also play games in a way, but in its virtual world. It tries
things out, sees what works best, and remembers that for next time.

75
Chapter 5 Tips for Using ChatGPT Effectively

So, artificial intelligence is like having a digital friend that’s really


good at learning, understanding things, and making decisions.
People use this digital friend to help with all sorts of jobs, like talking
to you in chat, driving cars without a driver, or even helping doctors
understand medical stuff better.

Even though it sounds complex, it’s kind of like a super-smart friend


that helps machines do cool things they couldn’t do on their own!

ChatGPT’s answer is much more understandable! It’s responding as if


it’s talking to a 15-year-old, just like we asked.
Without going as in-depth as its initial response, we can ask it to
explain as if it’s talking to a 20-year-old. Let’s see if there’s a difference in its
explanations.

User: What if I’m 20 years old?


 

 ChatGPT: Of course, I can provide a more detailed explanation for


someone who’s 20 years old!

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is all about creating computers or


machines that can do things that usually require human intelligence.
It’s like making computer programs that can think, learn, and make
decisions, almost like how our brains work.

There are two main types of AI:

Narrow AI: This type is focused on doing one specific thing really
well. For example, think of voice assistants like Siri or Alexa. They’re
great at understanding what you’re saying and giving you answers,
but they don’t understand emotions or have real conversations.

76
Chapter 5 Tips for Using ChatGPT Effectively

General AI: This is more like the idea of a complete, smart machine
that can understand, learn, and do tasks just like humans. We’re not
there yet, though. Right now, our AI systems are much more limited
and can’t do everything a person can.

AI systems learn from data. Imagine showing a computer a bunch


of pictures of cats and dogs. It can learn to tell them apart based
on patterns it sees in the pictures. This learning process is called
“machine learning,” and it’s a big part of AI.

Another thing is “deep learning,” which is a special type of machine


learning that’s great at understanding things like images and sounds.
It’s used in things like image recognition and language translation.

AI is used in lots of things you might use every day, like when
your phone suggests what word you’ll type next, or when Netflix
recommends shows based on what you’ve watched. It’s also used in
more complex tasks, like helping doctors analyze medical images or
teaching robots to do tasks on their own.

But AI isn’t perfect. It can sometimes make mistakes or give biased


results if the data it learned from is biased. And it doesn’t really
understand things the way humans do; it’s more about processing
lots of data quickly and making predictions based on patterns.

So, AI is both exciting and challenging. It has the potential to change


how we live and work, but we also need to be careful and make sure
it’s used in responsible and fair ways.

We can see that ChatGPT adapts to how you want it to deliver the
requested information.

77
Chapter 5 Tips for Using ChatGPT Effectively

Adding Custom Instructions to ChatGPT


In recent versions of ChatGPT, the ability to provide specific instructions
for each conversation with ChatGPT has been added. This eliminates
the need to repeatedly specify particular instructions during each
conversation, which are often the same.
For instance, if you are using ChatGPT for your work, you can instruct
it to behave like an expert in your field. For example, if you are a real estate
agent, you can instruct ChatGPT to always act as an expert real estate agent
to provide you with the best advice when questions are related to this
expertise.
Another example is for email signatures (see Chapter 8). You can
instruct ChatGPT regarding the signature you want to include at the end
of emails, rather than specifying it for each email created by ChatGPT. The
applications of this concept of adding personalized instructions are
numerous and limited only by our imagination.
To do this, simply click your identifier in the bottom-left corner of the
window and select “Custom instructions” from the pop-up that appears
(see Figure 5-1).

Figure 5-1. “Custom instructions” menu

78
Chapter 5 Tips for Using ChatGPT Effectively

Once you click the “Custom instructions” menu, a new window will
appear, allowing you to enter instructions to be executed before each new
conversation with ChatGPT (see Figure 5-2). There will no longer be a
need to specify them in every conversation!

Figure 5-2. “Custom instructions” window

Within the window, you will find two input fields:

• The first field allows you to enter instructions that will


help ChatGPT better understand your context without
having to specify them in every new conversation. For
example, you can inform ChatGPT that you are a real
estate agency located in Austin, Texas.

79
Chapter 5 Tips for Using ChatGPT Effectively

• The second field allows you to instruct ChatGPT on


how you want it to provide responses. For instance,
you can specify your email signature for the emails
you want to send. You can also indicate that ChatGPT
should consider itself as an expert in real estate, saving
you from having to specify it each time if necessary.

These custom instructions streamline your interactions with ChatGPT,


making it more efficient and tailored to your needs (see Figure 5-3).

Figure 5-3. Custom instructions

Once the window is validated, the provided instructions will be


executed for each new conversation with ChatGPT. Previous conversations
resumed later will not take them into account.

80
Chapter 5 Tips for Using ChatGPT Effectively

Let’s try creating a new conversation with ChatGPT and ask it to


compose an email indicating that a new house is available for our clients.

 User: I would like to write an email indicating that a new house, with

In summary, the ability to provide custom instructions that are
executed for each new conversation with ChatGPT is truly valuable. We
can, of course, refine the instructions as we use ChatGPT further.

Other Recommendations
There are many things to know to use ChatGPT effectively, which we may
not necessarily think about. Let’s ask ChatGPT if it can provide us with
other useful information to improve our usage.

82
Chapter 5 Tips for Using ChatGPT Effectively

 User: What are the relevant things that I should know to better
utilize you? I only want genuinely useful information. Give me some
ideas that might not be immediately obvious! Please provide an
example for each case.

 ChatGPT: To better utilize ChatGPT effectively, here are some


helpful tips and information:

1. Ask specific questions: Be clear and precise in your


questions. Avoid vague questions that may lead to
ambiguous answers. For example, instead of asking
“What is the best phone?”, ask “What is the best Android
phone with high-quality camera and long battery life?”

2. Provide additional details: If you need specific


information, include additional details in your question.
This will help ChatGPT understand your request and
provide a more accurate response. For example, instead
of asking “What will the weather be like tomorrow?”,
specify your location by saying “What will the weather
be like tomorrow in Austin?”

3. Use examples to clarify: If you’re having trouble


formulating your question, you can provide an example
to help ChatGPT understand what you’re looking for.
For example, instead of asking “How can I solve this
math problem?”, you can give a concrete example of the
problem you’re encountering.

4. Specify your preferences: When asking for


recommendations or suggestions, specify your
preferences or constraints. For example, instead of
asking “Which restaurant do you recommend?”, say
“What is a good vegetarian restaurant nearby?”

83
Chapter 5 Tips for Using ChatGPT Effectively

5. Verify sources and cross-check information: While


ChatGPT provides useful information, it’s important to
critically verify sources and cross-check information
when possible. Do not consider ChatGPT’s responses as
verified facts without conducting further research.

6. Exercise caution with personal information: Avoid


sharing sensitive or confidential personal information
with ChatGPT. Even though ChatGPT is designed to
respect privacy, it’s better to exercise caution when
communicating online.

7. Experiment with special commands: ChatGPT


has special commands to influence its behavior. For
example, you can use the “/topic” command to indicate
the topic you want to discuss with ChatGPT. You
can also use “/n” to create lists or “/code” to format
computer code.

8. Be patient: Sometimes, ChatGPT may produce incorrect


or inconsistent responses. In such cases, rephrase your
question or ask for clarification. ChatGPT learns from
experience, and by providing feedback, you help it
improve.

9. Have fun: Use ChatGPT to ask interesting questions,


explore new ideas, or simply have a fun conversation.
Explore its capabilities and enjoy the experience!

Remember that ChatGPT is a language model and does not


replace the advice of qualified experts. If you need medical,
legal, or professional advice, it’s best to consult a specialist in the
respective field.

84
Chapter 5 Tips for Using ChatGPT Effectively

These are just good guidelines to review from time to time to consider
using them effectively.

Conclusion
In this chapter, we discussed the main rules for engaging in a conversation
with ChatGPT. These rules can be summarized as follows:

• Formulate clear and precise questions.

• Use specific terms in your questions.

• Use multiple short sentences instead of a single


lengthy one.

• Ask a new question if necessary.

• Present ChatGPT (if needed) as an expert in the


desired domain.

• Ask ChatGPT (if needed) to speak as if it were


addressing a 15-year-old.

• Stay in the same conversation (if needed).


Once we understand the rules for asking the right questions to
ChatGPT, we will notice that asking the same question twice in a row
does not produce the same response. In fact, the second response from
ChatGPT will be formulated differently from the first one, often with new
words in it.
In the next chapter, we will explain the reasons behind this difference
and explore the parameters of ChatGPT that allow for varying the provided
responses.

85
CHAPTER 6

Parameters Used
in ChatGPT
When using ChatGPT, we can adjust several parameters to control its
behavior and the displayed results. These parameters allow us to refine
the generated responses, control text diversity, and adapt the interaction
experience with the model.
In this chapter, we will explore the main parameters used in ChatGPT,
such as the temperature parameter, the frequency_penalty parameter,
and the presence_penalty parameter. We will provide examples to better
understand how they work.
Understanding these parameters allows users to make better use of the
ChatGPT Playground tool to obtain responses that are more suitable for
their specific needs and preferences. This tool will be explained at the end
of this chapter.
Let’s start by explaining why ChatGPT’s responses are different for the
same question.

 hy ChatGPT’s Responses Are Different


W
for the Same Question
One of the first observations when using ChatGPT is that asking the same
question twice does not produce the same response at all. We might
expect that the same question would yield the same answer, which would

E. Sarrion, ChatGPT for Beginners, https://doi.org/10.1007/978-1-4842-9804-6_6
Chapter 6 Parameters Used in ChatGPT

be logical in the world of computer programming (given that the inputs,


i.e., the questions, are identical). However, ChatGPT utilizes artificial
intelligence (AI), which allows it to behave differently from a simple
computer program.
It is easy to observe this by clicking the Regenerate button displayed
below ChatGPT’s response. This button clears the last displayed response
and generates a new response to the same question.
Let’s ask ChatGPT to explain the reasons why it provides different
responses to the same question.

User: Could you explain why ChatGPT gives different responses to


 
the same question?

 ChatGPT: ChatGPT, like other language models, generates


responses based on a combination of two main factors: its training
data and the input it receives. The model’s responses are not
predetermined or fixed but are generated dynamically based on the
context and the specific input it receives.

There are several reasons why ChatGPT might provide different


responses to the same question:

Randomness in the model: Language models like GPT-3.5 are


designed with a degree of randomness to generate diverse and
creative responses. Even when given the same question, the
model may explore different paths in the generated text due to its
randomness nature.

Ambiguity in the question: If the question is ambiguous or lacks


sufficient context, the model may interpret it differently each time
it is asked. The slight variations in the input phrasing or emphasis
could lead the model to generate different responses.

88
Chapter 6 Parameters Used in ChatGPT

Sampling techniques: When generating responses, the model


employs sampling techniques that introduce randomness. For
example, one technique called “top-k sampling” selects from
the top k most likely next tokens, while another technique called
“temperature” controls the randomness of the output. These
techniques can lead to different outputs with each sampling
iteration.

Influence of previous context: ChatGPT generates responses based


not only on the input question but also on the preceding context
of the conversation. If the conversation has a different history or
if previous interactions have influenced the model’s state, it may
generate different responses to the same question to maintain
coherence with the context.

Model updates and versions: Language models like ChatGPT


undergo periodic updates and improvements. As new versions of
the model are released, there might be changes in how the model
responds to certain inputs, resulting in different responses over time.

It’s important to note that while ChatGPT aims to provide useful


and coherent responses, it may not always generate accurate or
consistent answers. The model’s responses should be critically
evaluated and verified, especially for factual or sensitive
information.

ChatGPT explains that “the model may explore different paths in the
generated text due to its randomness nature.” Let’s ask ChatGPT to explain
how this works.

89
Chapter 6 Parameters Used in ChatGPT

 anaging the Randomness of ChatGPT’s


M
Responses with the temperature Parameter
The randomness aspect of ChatGPT’s responses is controlled by a
parameter called temperature. Let’s ask ChatGPT to explain this parameter.

User: Can you please explain how the randomness is managed in


 
ChatGPT and specify which parameter is responsible for it?

 ChatGPT: In ChatGPT, the randomness in generating responses


is managed through a combination of sampling techniques. One
of the key parameters that controls the randomness is called
“temperature.”

The temperature parameter determines the randomness of the


generated output. A higher temperature value, such as 0.8 or 1.0,
increases the randomness and diversity of the responses. With a
higher temperature, the model is more likely to explore different
possibilities and produce more varied outputs.

Conversely, a lower temperature value, such as 0.2 or 0.5, decreases


the randomness and makes the output more focused and
deterministic. Lower temperature values lead to the model selecting
the most probable tokens, resulting in more consistent responses.

ChatGPT confirms that there is the temperature parameter introduces


randomness into the responses it provides. Modulating this parameter
allows for the diversification of the generated responses while still
maintaining relevance regardless of the parameter’s value.
It’s worth noting that the use of this parameter (along with the
subsequent ones mentioned in this chapter) is done through an API
provided by OpenAI, which allows for querying the ChatGPT model. These
parameters have default values when using ChatGPT in a regular manner

90
Chapter 6 Parameters Used in ChatGPT

like we are here (without utilizing the API). The explanations provided now
aim to illustrate how to vary the responses generated by ChatGPT using
the indicated parameters.
We will also see at the end of this chapter that using the ChatGPT
Playground tool enables direct manipulation of these parameter values,
which is not possible with the traditional ChatGPT interface.
Let’s ask ChatGPT to provide us with explanations about the possible
values of the temperature parameter and its default value.

 User: Could you please specify the minimum and maximum values
for the “temperature” parameter and its default value in ChatGPT?

 ChatGPT: In the GPT-3.5 model, which is the underlying


architecture for ChatGPT, the temperature parameter typically has
a range between 0 and 1. The temperature parameter controls the
randomness of the generated output. Here are the typical values
used for temperature:

–– The minimum value for temperature is 0.0. When


temperature is set to 0.0, it corresponds to greedy
sampling, where the model selects only the most
probable token at each step, resulting in the most
deterministic output. In this case, the model will always
choose the token with the highest probability.

–– The maximum value for temperature is 1.0. When


temperature is set to 1.0, it allows for maximum ran-
domness in the generated output. The model explores
a wider range of possibilities and produces more
diverse responses.

91
Chapter 6 Parameters Used in ChatGPT

The default value for the temperature parameter can vary depending
on the implementation or specific use case. In some versions of
GPT, including ChatGPT, a common default value for temperature
is 0.7. However, it’s important to note that the default value can be
subject to variation or customization depending on the specific
application or system using the language model.

It should be noted that the value of “temperature” is not the only way
to control the diversity of ChatGPT’s responses, and there are other
parameters and techniques available to adjust the model’s output.

ChatGPT informs us that the value of the temperature parameter


can range from 0 (predictable responses, almost always the same for
identical questions) to 1 (more varied responses). The default value used
in ChatGPT is currently 0.7, which is close to 1, to give a more random
aspect to the responses provided by ChatGPT. Additionally, ChatGPT
states that “there are other parameters and techniques available to adjust
the model’s output,” which means there are other parameters that can
influence ChatGPT’s response. We will explore these other parameters in
the following sections.
Note that the minimum value of the temperature is 0, but the
maximum value can be 1 or even 2 depending on the versions of ChatGPT
being used.
To better understand the role of the temperature parameter, let’s ask
ChatGPT for examples of sentences generated with both low and high
values of the parameter.

User: Could you provide examples of sentences with a low


 
temperature followed by a high temperature?

92
Chapter 6 Parameters Used in ChatGPT

 ChatGPT: Sure! Here are the examples:

Low temperature (0.2):

–– “The cat is black.”

–– “I prefer sunny days.”

–– “Coffee is a popular beverage.”

High temperature (0.8):

–– “The cat could be black, brown, or even a mix of different colors.”

–– “I absolutely adore basking in the warmth of a glorious,


sun-drenched day.”

–– “Coffee, oh glorious coffee! It’s like a warm hug for my


taste buds, an elixir of life that brings joy and energy.”

Please note that these examples are provided to illustrate the impact
of temperature, and the actual responses generated by ChatGPT may
vary. Lower temperature values tend to produce more focused and
deterministic responses, while higher temperature values introduce
more randomness and variability.

ChatGPT shows in this example that if the temperature parameter


has a low value, the provided response is quite standard, while a higher
temperature value leads to a more elaborate response. This becomes even
more apparent when asking the same question multiple times to ChatGPT.

• With a low temperature (close to 0), the responses to


the same question tend to be similar and use almost
the same terms each time.
• With a high temperature (close to 1), the responses
to the same question will be more creative for each
of them, using new terms in each response and often
presenting new arguments.

93
Chapter 6 Parameters Used in ChatGPT

Now, let’s explore some other parameters that can also influence the
response provided by ChatGPT. These include the frequency_penalty and
presence_penalty parameters, among others.

 anaging the Randomness of ChatGPT’s


M
Responses with the frequency_penalty
and presence_penalty Parameters
There are other parameters that can increase the variety in ChatGPT’s
responses. These include the frequency_penalty and presence_penalty
parameters.
Let’s ask ChatGPT to provide us with further explanations on these
parameters that influence the generated responses.

User: Could you explain what the “frequency_penalty” and


 
“presence_penalty” parameters are, and provide some simple
examples to understand them?

 ChatGPT: Certainly! Here’s an explanation of each parameter:

1. “frequency_penalty”: This parameter controls the


repetition of similar sentences in ChatGPT’s response. A
high value of “frequency_penalty” (e.g., 2.0) discourages
responses that contain repetitive phrases, promoting
greater variety. On the other hand, a low value (e.g., 0.2)
allows for some repetition in the responses.

2. “presence_penalty”: This parameter controls the


presence of certain phrases or words in ChatGPT’s
response. A high value of “presence_penalty” (e.g., 0.8)
discourages responses that contain specific phrases or
keywords mentioned in the question.

94
Chapter 6 Parameters Used in ChatGPT

Note that the minimum value of these parameters is 0, but the maximum
value can be 1 or even 2 depending on the versions of ChatGPT being used.
It is evident that these two additional parameters, along with the
temperature parameter, allow for further variation in ChatGPT’s responses.
Let’s ask ChatGPT to provide examples for these two parameters.
Let’s start with the first parameter, which is frequency_penalty.

 User: Could you give an example of sentences with low and high
“frequency_penalty” values?

 ChatGPT: Certainly! The “frequency_penalty” parameter in


ChatGPT is used to influence the model’s tendency to generate
common or repetitive phrases. By adjusting the frequency penalty
value, you can encourage the model to generate more unique and
diverse responses. Here are examples of sentences with low and high
frequency penalty values:
1. Low frequency_penalty (e.g., 0.2):
–– User: What’s the weather like today?
–– ChatGPT: The weather today is partly cloudy with a
high of 82°F and a low of 68°F. Enjoy your day!
With a low frequency_penalty, the model is less
constrained and may generate more common or
frequently used responses. The generated response
tends to be more familiar and might contain phrases
that are commonly associated with weather reports.
2. High frequency_penalty (e.g., 0.8):
–– User: What’s the weather like today?
–– ChatGPT: Today’s forecast indicates a mixture of
sun and clouds, with temperatures reaching around
82°F and dropping to a low of approximately
68°F. Have a wonderful day!

95
Chapter 6 Parameters Used in ChatGPT

With a high frequency_penalty, the model is encouraged to generate


responses that deviate from commonly used phrases. The response
becomes more varied, and the model may introduce alternative
ways of expressing the same information, resulting in a more diverse
and unique response.

By adjusting the frequency_penalty parameter, you can customize


the balance between generating familiar or common phrases and
producing more creative and unique outputs. The specific values
used for frequency_penalty can vary based on the implementation
or system employing the language model.

ChatGPT shows us in this example that if the value of the frequency_


penalty parameter is low, the words chosen in its response will be common
words, while if the value is high, the words in the response will be from a
more elaborate vocabulary.
Now let’s ask ChatGPT to provide an example with the presence_
penalty parameter:

User: Could you give an example with the “presence_penalty”


 
parameter?
 ChatGPT: Certainly! The “presence_penalty” parameter in ChatGPT
is used to control the model’s tendency to incorporate specific
keywords or phrases into its responses. By adjusting the presence_
penalty value, you can influence how frequently the model includes
the provided context in its generated output. Here’s an example to
illustrate the impact of presence_penalty:

presence_penalty=0.2:

–– User: Tell me a joke about cats.

–– ChatGPT: Why was the cat sitting on the computer? It


wanted to keep an eye on the mouse!

96
Chapter 6 Parameters Used in ChatGPT

In this example, with a low presence_penalty (0.2), the model


incorporates the keyword “cats” into its response but still generates a
joke with some creative twist. The response maintains a connection
to the given context but allows for more freedom in generating the
punchline.

presence_penalty=0.8:

–– User: Tell me a joke about cats.

–– ChatGPT: Why did the feline refuse to attend the


meeting? It preferred to engage in independent and
solitary adventures!

With a higher presence_penalty (0.8), the model is encouraged to be


less dependent on the provided context. The response still contains
a joke and acknowledges the topic of cats, but the generated
punchline takes a more creative and divergent approach. The model
generates a joke that is less directly linked to the keyword “cats” and
explores alternative humorous angles.

By adjusting the presence_penalty parameter, you can customize the


model’s adherence to the provided context. Higher values allow for
more creative and diverse responses, while lower values tend to keep
the model more closely tied to the given context. The specific values
used for presence_penalty can vary based on the implementation or
system using the language model.

ChatGPT shows us in these examples that if the value of the presence_


penalty parameter is low, the choice of words in its response will be less
varied, and repetitions may occur, while if the value is high, the words in
the response will be more varied and less repetitive.

97
Chapter 6 Parameters Used in ChatGPT

We have seen the characteristics of the three main parameters


(temperature, frequency_penalty, and presence_penalty) of ChatGPT,
which allow for diversifying the responses based on the values of these
parameters.
Let’s put our acquired knowledge into practice right away! Let’s use the
Playground tool associated with ChatGPT, which allows us to directly set
the value of each of these parameters without using the OpenAI API.

Using the ChatGPT Playground Tool


The Playground tool provided with ChatGPT allows us to directly set the
values of the temperature, frequency_penalty, and presence_penalty
parameters in an interface to obtain different results from those obtained
using the regular ChatGPT interface.
In the regular ChatGPT interface, the value of these parameters is fixed
and cannot be changed, unlike in the Playground interface.
The Playground interface can be accessed at https://platform.
openai.com/playground. You need to have a paid account on OpenAI
to access it (see https://platform.openai.com/account/billing/
overview). You can cancel the paid account at any time.
The same result could be achieved using the API provided by OpenAI,
but that requires programming knowledge, whereas the Playground tool is
user-friendly.
Figure 6-1 shows the Playground interface displayed when accessing
the aforementioned website. Please note that the current screens may be
different from those presented here, but their meaning is the same.

98
Chapter 6 Parameters Used in ChatGPT

Figure 6-1. ChatGPT Playground Interface

Click the indicated button (Parameters button), which opens a pop-up


where we can modify the default values of the parameters (see Figure 6-2).

99
Chapter 6 Parameters Used in ChatGPT

Figure 6-2. Parameters pop-up window

In the displayed pop-up, we can see that in the right column, we can
set the values of the temperature, frequency_penalty, and presence_
penalty parameters. Other parameters can also be modified.
By default, the parameters are set to the following values in the
Playground window:

• temperature parameter: 1

• frequency_penalty parameter: 0

• presence_penalty parameter: 0

100
Chapter 6 Parameters Used in ChatGPT

The question can be entered in the central part of the window, while
the response from ChatGPT will be displayed below it. The Submit button
at the bottom left of the window is used to submit the question entered in
the central part of the window.
Before starting to use the interface, let’s set some parameters in it:

• temperature parameter: 0 (the minimum).

• maximum_length parameter: 4000 (the maximum).


This parameter indicates the number of tokens (similar
to words) we are willing to receive in the response
from ChatGPT. We set it to the maximum because we
don’t know in advance the length of the response from
ChatGPT. A value that is too low for this parameter
would not allow us to receive the complete response
from ChatGPT.

• frequency_penalty parameter: 0.

• presence_penalty parameter: 0.

Let’s submit the question “How to make pizzas?” using the Submit
button (see Figure 6-3).

101
Chapter 6 Parameters Used in ChatGPT

Figure 6-3. Asking the question “How to make pizzas?” in the


Playground

The same question can be sent by clicking the Regenerate button (or
by pressing Ctrl+Shift+Enter simultaneously).
With the temperature set to 0, we get a new response that is almost
similar to the previous one (see Figure 6-4).

102
Chapter 6 Parameters Used in ChatGPT

Figure 6-4. New response for the same question in the Playground

The response from ChatGPT is indeed almost identical to the previous


one because the temperature is set to 0, which doesn’t allow for diverse
responses.
Let’s now set the temperature to a value of 1, which instructs ChatGPT
to provide varied responses even for the same question (see Figure 6-5).

103
Chapter 6 Parameters Used in ChatGPT

Figure 6-5. Response from ChatGPT with temperature set to 1

We can see that with a temperature set to 1, the response from


ChatGPT for the same question is significantly different. However, in
all cases, the response from ChatGPT provides instructions on how to
make pizzas.
We can also manipulate the other parameters such as frequency_
penalty and presence_penalty to observe the additional variations in the
responses from ChatGPT.
It is also possible to manipulate these settings using another technical
means, which is the OpenAI API, briefly explained next.

104
Chapter 6 Parameters Used in ChatGPT

Using the OpenAI API


The Playground tool is really handy for testing different parameter values
and observing their impact on the results provided by ChatGPT. This
provides a way to modify ChatGPT’s default response based on the value
assigned to each of these parameters.
An even more powerful and convenient solution is to use an
application programming interface (API). The most commonly used API
with ChatGPT is the one provided by the company that created ChatGPT,
namely, OpenAI’s API. To create a program using an API, one needs to be a
computer application developer.
Since this book is aimed at beginners, we will not explain how
to operate this API here. However, for readers interested in this, we
recommend reading my book Exploring the Power of ChatGPT (Apress),
which explains how to use it in computer programs.

Conclusion
In this chapter, we explored the different parameters used in ChatGPT,
such as the temperature parameter, the frequency_penalty parameter, and
the presence_penalty parameter. Each of these parameters plays a key role
in text generation and allows for personalization of the language model’s
responses based on the user’s needs.

• The temperature parameter controls the degree


of diversity and unpredictability in the generated
responses.

• The frequency_penalty parameter controls the usage of


common words.
• The presence_penalty parameter manages the
repetition of similar phrases or words.

105
Chapter 6 Parameters Used in ChatGPT

Understanding how to adjust these parameters can lead to more


accurate, consistent, or creative results according to the user’s preferences.
The ChatGPT Playground tool allows for setting the values of these
parameters to obtain different responses from the ones provided in the
regular ChatGPT interface.
In this chapter, we explained the theoretical foundations of ChatGPT,
which help in understanding its functioning. Now, let’s move on to
practical examples of using ChatGPT in the next chapter.

Name]. The experiences and opportunities I have had here have
been invaluable, and I am grateful for the guidance and support

know if there is anything I can do to assist in making this transition

The resignation letter generated by ChatGPT is, in our opinion, a bit


too long and overly complimentary toward the company. We would like to
have a new version that is shorter and less flattering.

 User: This letter is a good start, but I would like it to be shorter and
less flattering toward the company.

 ChatGPT: Dear [Recipient’s Name],

I am writing to inform you of my decision to resign from my position


as a sales engineer at [Company Name], effective [last working day,
typically two weeks from the date of the letter]. I have enjoyed my
time working with the company and have grown both professionally
and personally during my tenure.

I am committed to ensuring a smooth transition during my


remaining time at the company. I am available to assist with the

We are now satisfied with the result produced by ChatGPT. However,


it’s important not to hesitate in asking for the desired improvements.

Writing a Loan Application


There are times when we need to request a loan from our bank. If, in
addition, we have had financial difficulties in the past, it becomes even
more challenging to make the request. Let’s use ChatGPT, which will find
the right words to make the request on our behalf.

114
Chapter 7 Writing Letters

 User: I would like to apply for a loan ($10,000) from the bank.
I have occasionally had overdrafts on my account, and I would
like the bank not to hold it against me. Can you write the
corresponding letter?

 ChatGPT: Dear Loan Officer,

I am writing to apply for a loan of $10,000 from [Bank Name].


I appreciate the opportunity to present my case for consideration
and would like to address a matter that may affect my application.

While I have occasionally experienced overdrafts on my account


in the past, I want to assure you that it does not reflect my financial
responsibility or my commitment to meeting my obligations.
I recognize that maintaining a positive financial standing is
essential, and I have taken steps to rectify the situation and improve
my financial management skills.

The reason I am seeking this loan is [provide a brief explanation of


why you need the loan]. I have carefully considered my financial
circumstances and believe that with this loan, I will be able to
[describe how the loan will be used and how it will benefit you].

I would like to emphasize that I am fully committed to repaying this


loan in a timely manner. I have created a detailed budget to ensure
that I can meet the monthly repayment obligations without any
difficulty. I understand the importance of honoring my financial
commitments and will prioritize making timely payments towards
the loan.

I kindly request that you look beyond the occasional overdrafts


on my account and consider my overall financial situation,
commitment, and determination to rectify any past mistakes. I
am more than willing to provide any additional documentation or
information that you may require to support my loan application.

115
Chapter 7 Writing Letters

I appreciate your time and consideration of my application. If there


is any further information needed or if you require any clarification,
please do not hesitate to contact me. I look forward to the possibility
of securing this loan from [Bank Name].

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Sincerely,

[Your Name]

Of course, nothing prevents us from removing one or more paragraphs


in ChatGPT’s response if we feel that it is too long.

Writing a Lease Termination Letter


Say that after staying in a rented property for several years, you want to
leave the premises. Therefore, you need to write a lease termination letter
to send to the landlord.

User: I want to terminate my lease for a property I have been renting


 
for 3 years. Please write the lease termination letter to send to the
landlord.

 ChatGPT: Subject: Notice of Lease Termination

Dear [Landlord’s Name],

I am writing to provide formal notice of my intention to terminate


the lease agreement for the property located at [property address].
As per the terms of our lease agreement, I am providing the required
notice period, as stipulated in the agreement, of [number of days or
months] before my intended move-out date.

116
Chapter 7 Writing Letters

I have been a tenant at the aforementioned property for the past


three years, and I would like to express my appreciation for your
cooperation and support throughout my tenancy. I have thoroughly
enjoyed living in the property and have maintained it in good

lease agreement.

The reason for my decision to terminate the lease is [briefly


explain your reason for moving out, such as relocation, change
in circumstances, etc.]. I have taken this decision after careful

outlined in the move-out checklist provided by you. I am committed
to completing any necessary repairs or cleaning prior to the agreed-

necessary steps are taken to fulfill my responsibilities as a tenant.
I kindly request that you schedule a move-out inspection at your
earliest convenience so that we can mutually assess the property and
address any concerns or discrepancies. I will make myself available
at a time that is convenient for you to conduct the inspection.

I would like to express my gratitude for your professional and


prompt attention to any maintenance or repair requests that I have
made during my tenancy. I have been fortunate to have such a

117

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation regarding this


lease termination. I will ensure that the property is vacated and

Please acknowledge receipt of this letter as confirmation of my


intent to terminate the lease as per our agreement. I wish you
continued success with the property, and I hope that we can
conclude this tenancy on amicable terms.

Sincerely,

[Your Name]

ChatGPT tends to write too much in our opinion. We want to be more


concise in the letter we write. Let’s ask ChatGPT to write the letter in a
maximum of 10 lines.

User: Can you please make the letter shorter (10 lines)?
 

 ChatGPT: Subject: Notice of Lease Termination

Dear [Landlord’s Name],

I am writing to formally notify you of my intent to terminate the lease


agreement for the property at [property address]. I have thoroughly
enjoyed my three years of tenancy, but I must now move on due to

I will ensure the property is returned to its original condition by the


agreed-upon move-out date. Please schedule a move-out inspection
at your convenience.

I appreciate your prompt attention to maintenance requests during


my tenancy. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation in
this matter. If you require any further information or documentation,
please let me know.

The letter has indeed become shorter while expressing the same ideas.

Writing a Love Letter


Declaring one’s love to the person you care for is not an easy task! ChatGPT
can help us find the right words to touch the other person’s heart.

 User: I want to confess my love to Nathalie. We have known each


other for 2 years, and I want to marry her. Her parents discourage
it, but I hope that after reading this letter, she will decide to accept
my marriage proposal. I want her to feel my heart and love above
all else.

Please note that we provide maximum details to ChatGPT so that it


can write the letter with the right arguments that will, we hope, touch
Nathalie’s heart.
Here is ChatGPT’s response:

 ChatGPT: Dearest Nathalie,

I hope this letter finds you in good health and high spirits. Over the
past two years, our connection has grown deeper, and I find myself
at a point where I can no longer keep my feelings hidden. With
utmost sincerity and love, I want to confess my feelings and propose

Of course, since this is a love letter, we won’t ask ChatGPT to write the
letter in a more concise manner!

Writing a Reconciliation Letter


It often happens that after a separation, we want to reconcile. However,
finding the right words in a letter can be challenging. We can ask ChatGPT
for assistance.

 User: I want to write a reconciliation letter to Nathalie. We parted


ways 2 months ago, but I miss her. I want us to forget our petty
quarrels and build something solid. It’s important for her to
understand my innermost feelings.

 ChatGPT: Dearest Nathalie,

I hope this letter finds you well and brings warmth to your heart. It
has been two months since we parted ways, and not a day has gone
by without the ache of longing for you. Today, I reach out to you
with a humble heart, hoping to reconcile our differences and build a
stronger, more profound connection.
Looking back, I realize that our separation was the result of petty
quarrels and misunderstandings. In those moments, I allowed pride
and ego to cloud my judgment, failing to recognize the true value
of what we had together. I deeply regret the pain that my words and
actions may have caused you.

Nathalie, you are a remarkable person, and our time together has
shown me the immense joy and happiness that we can create when
we are united. I cherish the memories we shared, the laughter we
echoed, and the dreams we dared to envision. It is these moments
that fuel my desire to reach out to you today.

121
Chapter 7 Writing Letters

I want you to know that I miss you with all my being. Every day,
I yearn for the connection we had, the deep understanding that
transcended mere words. I long to hold you in my arms, to feel your
presence beside me, and to experience the love we once shared.

Nathalie, I am ready to put aside our differences and forgive any


hurts or grievances that may have existed between us. I am willing
to embark on a journey of healing, understanding, and growth. I
believe that our love is worth fighting for, that we can overcome
the challenges that come our way and build something solid and
beautiful together.

I ask for your forgiveness and for the opportunity to show you the
depths of my love and devotion. Let us leave behind the past and
embrace a future filled with compassion, respect, and unwavering
support for one another. I am ready to put forth the effort needed
to rebuild our relationship on a foundation of trust and open
communication.

Please, Nathalie, consider my plea for reconciliation with an open


heart. Let us start anew, allowing the love we share to guide us
towards a future that is brighter and more fulfilling than we could
ever imagine. I am here, ready to listen, to understand, and to grow
alongside you.

With profound love and sincerity,

[Your Name]

Ideally, Nathalie will be touched by these sincere words.

with ChatGPT.

Replying to a Received Email

Let’s assume that as the marketing director of the electric bike sales
company JetTix, we have received the following email:
Subject: Dissatisfaction Regarding Non-Delivery of My Electric
Bikes Order
Dear Mr. Robinson,
I hope this message finds you well. I would like to express my
dissatisfaction and frustration regarding my order of electric bikes placed
with your company, JetTix.
I placed an order for 10 electric bikes on May 20, and I was assured that
I would receive the delivery on September 15, as agreed upon. However, to
my great disappointment, September 20 has come and gone, and I have yet
to receive the order.
This situation has caused significant inconvenience for me. I had
planned to use these electric bikes for important activities, and the failure
to meet the promised delivery date has disrupted my plans. Furthermore,
the lack of communication from your end regarding this matter is highly
concerning. I have attempted to contact your customer service multiple
times, but I have received no response or updates on the status of my order.
I want to emphasize that I chose JetTix as a supplier due to your
reputation for quality and reliability. However, this ordering experience has
left me with a sense of dissatisfaction and frustration.
I kindly request that you resolve this issue promptly by providing me
with accurate information regarding the expected delivery date of my order.
If this situation is not rectified promptly, I will be forced to seek another
supplier for my future electric bike needs.
I understand that logistical issues can arise, but transparent
communication with customers is crucial in such circumstances. I hope
JetTix will take the necessary steps to address this situation and restore my
confidence as a customer.

The response from ChatGPT is less precise than the one provided in
the previous section because it was not given enough information, such
as the date when the ordered electric bikes will be sent to the customer.
However, ChatGPT’s response is polite and takes into account the context
expressed in the customer’s email, namely, the delay in receiving the
ordered electric bikes.
The value of the process initiated here with ChatGPT is that you can
provide it with a new email received, even if it is several days after the
previous one. Indeed, the context of the conversation with ChatGPT is

CHAPTER 10

Text Translation
Globalization has made international business exchanges more

with their customers, partners, and suppliers worldwide, which often
involves translating documents and content into different languages.
In this chapter, we will explain how ChatGPT can be used to translate
texts, whether they are simple sentences or entire files. But first, let’s
explain why using ChatGPT is more advantageous than a traditional
automatic translator, such as Google Translate.
The comparison here is made between ChatGPT and automatic
translators, not with human translators who will always be superior to any
translation program, including ChatGPT.

Benefits of ChatGPT for Translations


ChatGPT is much more than just a translation program. To see its value,
let’s ask ChatGPT to explain why translation with ChatGPT would be more
effective than using another tool, like Google Translate, for example.

allowing it to understand and generate translations
in a broader context. It can take into account the
surrounding sentences or paragraphs, making the
translated text more coherent and accurate.

2. Natural Language Processing: ChatGPT is


designed to generate human-like responses, taking
into consideration grammar, idiomatic expressions,
and cultural nuances. It can produce translations
that sound more natural and fluent compared to
machine-generated translations.

3. Adaptability and Flexibility: ChatGPT can adapt to


specific styles, tones, or registers based on the given
input. It can generate translations that align with the
desired tone, whether formal, informal, technical,
or creative, providing more tailored and suitable
translations.

4. Handling Ambiguities: Language often contains


ambiguities that require deeper understanding and
interpretation. ChatGPT can infer meaning from the
surrounding context and provide translations that
resolve ambiguities more accurately than automatic
translators.

162
Chapter 10 Text Translation

5. Improved Accuracy: While automatic translators


like Google Translate utilize statistical and rule-
based methods, ChatGPT employs a more advanced
deep learning architecture. It has the ability to learn
complex patterns and relationships in language,
resulting in translations with improved accuracy.

However, it’s important to note that ChatGPT, like any language


model, may occasionally generate incorrect or nonsensical
translations. It should be used as a tool for assistance and not as a
replacement for professional human translators when precision and
accuracy are crucial.

Through these explanations, we can see that translation with ChatGPT


offers an advantage compared to traditional translators.

Available Languages with ChatGPT


As a language model, ChatGPT is trained to process and generate text in
numerous languages. Whether you need assistance in English, Spanish,
French, German, Chinese, or other commonly used languages, ChatGPT
can help you. Let’s explore the languages supported by ChatGPT.
Let’s start by asking ChatGPT if there are any languages it is more
proficient in than others.

 User: Do you have languages that you are more proficient in


than others?

163
Chapter 10 Text Translation

 ChatGPT: Yes, ChatGPT has been trained on a wide range of


languages and can provide translations and generate text in
multiple languages. However, it’s important to note that the model’s
proficiency may vary across different languages. English is generally
the most proficient language for ChatGPT, as it has been trained
on a significant amount of English text data. Other widely spoken
languages such as Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, and
Chinese also have good coverage and proficiency. Less commonly
spoken languages may have comparatively lower proficiency due to
the availability of training data. Additionally, the model’s proficiency
may also depend on the specific task or type of text being generated
or translated.

We can see that the main languages are well-known by ChatGPT. But
what about other less common languages compared to the previous ones?
Let’s ask ChatGPT.

User: I would like to have the complete list of all the languages you
 
know, displayed in 4 columns and in alphabetical order. Please
present the display as in Excel tables with a maximum of 10 lines
each. Begin with the most known languages and end with the others.

 ChatGPT: I can provide you with a list of some of the major


languages that I am familiar with. Please note that the following
list is not exhaustive, and there may be other languages that I can
understand and work with to some extent.

Here are some of the languages I know:

164
Chapter 10 Text Translation

Please note that the proficiency and coverage of these languages


may vary. If you have specific language-related tasks, feel free to ask,
and I’ll do my best to assist you!

If you are looking for a language that is not in the previous list, you can
simply ask ChatGPT directly.

 User: Can I speak to you in Zulu?

 ChatGPT: Yes, you can speak to me in Zulu! I’ll do my best to


understand and assist you in Zulu. Please feel free to ask your
questions or share any information you’d like in the Zulu language.

 User: Great! I would like to translate the sentence “Hello, I would


like to book a room for 2 people” into Zulu.

165
Chapter 10 Text Translation

 ChatGPT: In Zulu, the translation of the sentence “Hello, I would


like to book a room for 2 people” would be:

“Sawubona, ngicabangele ukufaka isikhala sokuphuma


ephalamende ngokugcwele”

Please note that Zulu is a complex and rich language, and there may
be different ways to express certain phrases or concepts. If you have
any more questions or need further assistance, feel free to ask!

Now that we understand the usefulness of ChatGPT for performing


translations, let’s demonstrate how to use it in practical cases.

Translation in Various Languages


When it comes to translating text for international businesses, accuracy
and speed are crucial. ChatGPT excels in these areas by providing high-­
quality translations in record time. With its knowledge, ChatGPT can
capture the nuances and subtleties of different languages, ensuring
translations that stay true to the original meaning.
Furthermore, consistency is a key element in intercultural
communication. With ChatGPT, you can expect consistent translations
throughout the text, even for large documents. This helps avoid translation
errors and inconsistencies that could undermine understanding and the
image of your company.
Let’s suppose we want to translate the presentation text about the Tesla
T2000i car that ChatGPT provided us in the previous chapter into French.

User: I would like to translate the following text into French:

Automated Translation
The previous section showed how to ask ChatGPT to translate a given text
into different languages. However, this scenario needs to be repeated for
each text to be translated. Can we automate the process when we have
multiple pieces of text to be translated successively?
Just ask ChatGPT, explaining the process to be implemented. As the
explanation of the process is lengthy, we’ll break down the question into
smaller, easily understandable sentences for ChatGPT.

 User: I would like to translate a set of texts. I will provide the texts
one by one, and you will translate them into French and then
into Japanese. Please indicate above, in English, the name of the
translation language. After the last translation, prompt me to input
the next text. When I want to stop, I will simply type the word “END”
and we will stop the process.

 ChatGPT: Sure! I’m ready to assist you with the translations. Please
provide the first text you would like to have translated into French
and Japanese.

directly in the input field.

Checking the Translations Performed


We have performed translations from English into various languages.
ChatGPT’s translations can be trusted. However, if one is not familiar with
the target languages, there may be doubt about the translation performed.
How can we be certain that the translation is correct, for example, for text
translated into Chinese or Russian?
Simply ask ChatGPT to take the text it has just translated into the target
language and retranslate it back into the original language! For example,
if you have asked to translate some text from English to Chinese, ask
ChatGPT to retranslate the Chinese text back into English. If the Chinese
translation is correct, you should find the original text in English.
But implementing this with ChatGPT requires quite a few
manipulations. Instead, we implement a process by describing to it what
we want to accomplish. It’s just a matter of finding the right phrases to
explain what we want to do.

User: I would like to translate texts into Japanese. I input the text
 
in English. You translate it into Japanese. Then you take your
translation and immediately translate it back into English. You let me
know if there are any differences between the two English texts. We
stop when I say ‘STOP.’ Is that okay?

 ChatGPT: Certainly, I can assist you with that. Please provide the
English text you’d like to have translated into Japanese, and I will
proceed with the translation.

CHAPTER 11

Learning a Language
With technological advancements, language learning has undergone
significant evolution, offering increasingly accessible and sophisticated
tools. Among these resources, the use of ChatGPT stands out as a valuable
tool for language learning. In this chapter, we will explore the various
advantages that ChatGPT can bring to improving language skills, focusing
on natural conversations and grammatical error correction.
First, ChatGPT allows for practicing natural language conversations,
which is essential for developing authentic language proficiency. By
interacting with ChatGPT, learners can simulate real conversations
by asking questions, exchanging ideas, and receiving appropriate
responses. This provides them with a valuable opportunity to practice
communication in a virtual environment, at their own pace, and without
judgment. By regularly practicing with ChatGPT, learners can enhance
their listening comprehension, written expression, verbal fluency, and self-
confidence.
Furthermore, ChatGPT can also serve as a grammatical error
correction tool. With its powerful language model, it can detect and
suggest corrections for common grammatical errors. Users can submit
their sentences or text to ChatGPT and receive precise correction
suggestions, helping them improve their mastery of grammar and syntax.
This allows learners to familiarize themselves with grammatical rules in an

Unfortunately, ChatGPT doesn’t have the capability to read text in


audio form. However, there are websites and applications that offer this
functionality.
NaturalReaders.com, for example, is a website that allows you to
convert text into audio. It also provides an iPhone and Android app for
listening to audio files in multiple languages. You can simply copy and
paste the text provided by ChatGPT into the text-to-audio conversion tool,
and then you can listen to it or even save it to your audio library.

Creating General Vocabulary Lists


We have explored how to use ChatGPT to acquire vocabulary specific to a
given situation. However, ChatGPT can also be used to learn a language in
a more general sense. Let’s see how to use it in this context.
When studying French, one challenge lies in verb conjugation, which
varies depending on the verb group to which they belong. Let’s request
examples of verbs from each of the three verb groups using ChatGPT.

User: I’m interested in learning French. Can you provide me with


 
expressions that contain verbs from the first, second, and third
verb groups?

190
Chapter 11 Learning a Language

 ChatGPT: Certainly! Here are some expressions that contain verbs


from the first, second, and third verb groups in French:

1. First verb group (-er verbs):

–– Je parle français. (I speak French.)

–– Tu manges une pomme. (You eat an apple.)

–– Il/Elle/On danse toute la nuit. (He/She/One dances


all night.)

2. Second verb group (-ir verbs):

–– Nous finissons notre travail. (We finish our work.)

sells second-hand books.)

These expressions cover verbs from each of the three verb groups
in French. They can help you practice and familiarize yourself with
verbs from different groups. Let me know if you need any further
assistance or if you have any other questions about learning French!

191
Chapter 11 Learning a Language

Then we can ask ChatGPT to explain how to conjugate a verb from


each group in the present and future tenses.

User: Can you conjugate a verb from each group in the present and
 
future tenses?

 ChatGPT: Certainly! Here are the conjugations of a verb from each


group in the present and future tenses:

more questions, feel free to ask!

It can be seen that learning French grammar is more complex than


English grammar!
We can ask ChatGPT to write a story that uses verbs from the three
groups in the present and future tenses.

User: Can you write a story in French that uses verbs from the 3
 
groups, using the present and future tenses?

 ChatGPT: Certainly! Here’s a story that incorporates verbs from the


three verb groups (first, second, and third) in both the present and
future tenses:

John est un étudiant sérieux. Il étudie l’histoire à l’université. Lana


est une artiste talentueuse. Elle peint de magnifiques tableaux. Un
jour, John voit Lana dans une galerie d’art et tombe amoureux d’elle.
Il décide de l’inviter à prendre un café. Lana accepte avec joie.

Ils se rencontrent dans un café confortable. John parle de son amour


pour l’histoire et Lana raconte ses projets artistiques futurs. Ils
découvrent qu’ils ont beaucoup en commun.

194
Chapter 11 Learning a Language

Au fil du temps, John et Lana se rapprochent de plus en plus. Ils


partagent leurs rêves et leurs aspirations. John lui dit : “Je t’aime,
Lana. Je veux passer ma vie avec toi.” Lana sourit et répond : “Moi
aussi, John. Je veux être avec toi pour toujours.”

Les années passent et leur amour grandit encore. Ils se marient et


fondent une famille. John devient professeur d’histoire renommé, et
Lana expose ses œuvres dans les galeries du monde entier.

Dans leur maison, entourés de souvenirs heureux, John et Lana se


rappellent leur première rencontre à la galerie d’art. Ils savent qu’ils
ont fait le bon choix et qu’ils sont destinés à être ensemble.

Et ils vivent heureux pour toujours.

Fin.

The story is written in French, without the translation in English. If you


would like it, you just have to ask ChatGPT.

 User: Could you display a paragraph in French and the translation in


English under each paragraph?

 ChatGPT: Here’s the story in French, with each paragraph followed


by its translation in English:

John est un étudiant sérieux. Il étudie l’histoire à l’université. Lana


est une artiste talentueuse. Elle peint de magnifiques tableaux.

(John is a serious student. He studies history at the university. Lana


is a talented artist. She paints beautiful paintings.)

Grammar Accuracy Improvement


When acquiring a new language, it is common to make grammatical
errors, even if you already have a good grasp of vocabulary. Correcting
grammatical errors is crucial in language learning as it enables you to
express yourself with precision and clarity.
In this section, we will show you how ChatGPT can assist you in
correcting your grammatical errors in English through concrete examples.

Learning a language interactively


Instead of creating a list of words to learn, we can ask ChatGPT to give
us words one by one and let us translate them. This way, we learn
interactively with ChatGPT!

User: I would like to learn French interactively. You give me an


 
English word, and I have to find its translation in French. We stop
when I say STOP. Is that okay?

 ChatGPT: Absolutely! That sounds like a fun and interactive way


to learn French. I’m ready to start. Please provide me with the first
English word, and I’ll give you its translation in French. Just let me
know when you want to stop. Let’s begin!

ChatGPT did not understand what we wanted because it suggests that


we provide it with a word in English and it will give us the translation in
French. We want exactly the opposite: it gives us a word in English, and we
respond with its translation in French. This is the best way to learn French!
Let’s explain again what we want, using shorter sentences separated by
periods instead of commas.

User: No! You give me a word in English. I respond in French.


 
You tell me if it’s correct or not. We continue until I say “STOP”. Is
that clear?

204
Chapter 11 Learning a Language

 ChatGPT: Apologies for the misunderstanding. I understand now.


Yes, that’s clear. I will provide you with an English word, you respond
with its translation in French, and I’ll let you know if it’s correct or
not. We’ll continue until you say “STOP.” Let’s begin!

The first word is “book.”

ChatGPT now seems to have understood what we want. It suggests the


first English word to translate into French, which is the word “book.” The
translation in French is “livre.” Let’s respond to it as expected.

 User: livre

 ChatGPT: Correct! “Livre” is the correct translation of “book” in


French. Well done!

Next word: “cat.”

 User: chat

 ChatGPT: Correct! “Chat” is the correct translation of “cat” in


French. Great job!

Next word: “sun.”

Let’s make a mistake to see its reaction. The translation of “sun”


in French is “soleil,” but instead, let’s respond with “voiture” (“car” in
English).

 User: voiture

 ChatGPT: Oops! “Voiture” means “car” in French, not “sun.” The


correct translation of “sun” in French is “soleil.”

Let’s try another word: “tree.”

205
Chapter 11 Learning a Language

User: arbre
 

 ChatGPT: Correct! “Arbre” is the correct translation of “tree” in


French. Well done!

Next word: “house.”

We can go on for a long time.... Let’s ask ChatGPT to stop, by typing the
word agreed at the start, namely, the word “STOP.”

User: STOP
 

 ChatGPT: Great! We’ll stop here. If you have any more questions or if
you’d like to play again in the future, feel free to ask. Happy learning,
and have a wonderful day!

Now we want to learn verb conjugation in French. Indeed, it is a


challenging learning process as there are many variations depending on
the verbs and the tenses used.

User: I want to learn verb conjugation in French now. You give


 
me a sentence in French where you indicate the verb in infinitive
form, and I have to respond with the verb correctly conjugated. For
example, you give me the sentence “John me (demander) si je veux
aller au cinéma ce soir.”. I have to respond with “demande”, as the
correct sentence is “John me demande si je veux aller au cinéma ce
soir”.We stop the process when I say “STOP”. Is that okay?

In the question submitted to ChatGPT, we provide an example of what


we expect so that it can understand it perfectly.

206
Chapter 11 Learning a Language

 ChatGPT: Absolutely! That sounds like a great way to practice verb


conjugation in French. I’ll provide you with sentences containing
a verb in the infinitive form, and you can respond with the correct
conjugated form. Whenever you’re ready to stop, simply say “STOP.”
Let’s begin!

The first sentence is: “Elle (parler) français couramment.”

 User: parle

 ChatGPT: Correct! The sentence should be “Elle parle français


couramment.”

Next sentence: “Nous (aller) au parc demain matin.”

 User: allons

 ChatGPT: Correct! The sentence should be “Nous allons au parc


demain matin.”

Next sentence: “Tu (manger) une pizza pour le dîner hier soir.”

 User: as mangé

 ChatGPT: Correct! The sentence should be “Tu as mangé une pizza


pour le dîner hier soir.”

Next sentence: “Ils (regarder) un film au cinéma ce week-end.”

Conjugating verbs in French is certainly not easy to learn, especially


when compared to English, for example!

 User: regardent

207
Chapter 11 Learning a Language

 ChatGPT: Correct! The sentence should be “Ils regardent un film au


cinéma ce week-end.”

Next sentence: “Je (étudier) le français depuis deux ans.”

The answer to the previous question is “étudie” (using the present


tense). However, let’s make a mistake to see if ChatGPT notices it. We’ll use
the future tense (“étudierai”) instead of the present tense (“étudie”).

User: étudierai
 

 ChatGPT: Actually, the correct form is “Je étudie le français depuis


deux ans.”

Next sentence: “Vous (aimer) les sports nautiques.”

ChatGPT provides us with the correct answer, which is different from


ours. To conclude, let’s simply type the agreed-upon word: “STOP.”

User: STOP
 

 ChatGPT: Sure! We can stop here. If you have any more questions
or need further assistance in the future, feel free to ask. Good job
practicing your French verb conjugation!

If we want to specialize in the study of verbs from the first, second, or


third group, which all have different conjugations, we can ask ChatGPT
for this.

User: I would like to do the same as before, but only with verbs from
 
the 2nd group (ending in ‘ir’). If I make a mistake, please let me
know clearly. At the end, please indicate my score of correct answers.
Is that okay?

208
Chapter 11 Learning a Language

 ChatGPT: Absolutely! We can focus on verbs from the second group,


which end in “ir.” I’ll provide you with sentences containing verbs
from this group, and if you make a mistake, I’ll let you know. I’ll keep
track of your score and provide you with the final count at the end.
Let’s begin!

The first sentence is: “Nous (finir) nos devoirs avant le dîner.”

The correct answer is “finissons.” Let’s make a mistake by writing


“finissont.” Let’s see if ChatGPT notices this small error.

 User: finissont

 ChatGPT: Great effort, but the correct conjugation is “Nous finissons


nos devoirs avant le dîner.” Remember that for the subject “Nous,”
the correct conjugation of the verb “finir” is “finissons.”

Next sentence: “Tu (choisir) un livre à lire.”

 User: choisis

 ChatGPT: Correct! The sentence should be “Tu choisis un livre à lire.”

Next sentence: “Je (réussir) mon examen hier.”


 User: ai réussi

 ChatGPT: Correct! The sentence should be “J’ai réussi mon


examen hier.”

Next sentence: “Vous (choisir) votre destination de vacances.”

Let’s stop now, even though the game is enjoyable. So, we


indicate “STOP.”

209
Chapter 11 Learning a Language

User: STOP

 ChatGPT: Sure! We can stop here. You did a great job with the
conjugation of verbs from the second group. You answered two out
of three sentences correctly, so your score is 66%. Well done! If you
have any more questions or need further assistance, feel free to ask.

We can continue this dialogue later. Everything that has been stated
is stored in the conversation, and we can pick up where we left off on the
same basis in several days.

Conclusion
Using ChatGPT offers numerous advantages for language learning. It
enables learners to engage in natural conversations, improve their oral
comprehension and written expression, while also providing grammatical
correction suggestions to enhance their language skills.
Moreover, the accessibility and flexibility of ChatGPT allow learners
to progress at their own pace and in an autonomous manner. As a
sophisticated technological tool, ChatGPT serves as a valuable resource
for learners seeking to develop their language skills interactively and
effectively.

CHAPTER 12

Recruiting
for a Company
Recruitment is a crucial step for any company looking to grow. However,
finding the ideal candidate for a specific position can be challenging. This
is where artificial intelligence and natural language processing tools like
ChatGPT can be helpful. In this chapter, we will explore how ChatGPT can
be used to facilitate the recruitment process in companies.
We will examine various possible applications of ChatGPT, including
writing job postings, generating recruitment tests, and creating interview
frameworks. We will see how these tools can assist companies in finding
the most suitable candidates for their job vacancies.

Writing Job Postings


The first step in recruitment is writing a job posting. You need to describe
the type of person you are looking for and also provide information about
the hiring company.
Let’s assume we are looking for a business development manager
for JetTix, a company specializing in the design and sale of electric bikes
internationally. Let’s describe our search to ChatGPT and ask it to write the
job posting.

Chapter 12 Recruiting for a Company

The framework for the job offer is ready, and we can then customize it
based on the actual needs of the company.

Creating Recruitment Tests


Companies can find an effective solution in using ChatGPT to generate
recruitment tests, enabling them to assess candidates’ skills objectively
and efficiently.
With ChatGPT, recruitment tests can be customized according to the
specific needs of each company, allowing the evaluation of a wide range
of skills such as communication, problem-solving, time management,
leadership, etc. Moreover, these tests can be adjusted based on the
required difficulty level for the position the candidate is applying for.
We want to create a recruitment test for real estate agents. We ask
ChatGPT to create a list of questions that candidates will have to answer.
We will then ask ChatGPT for its opinion on the candidates’ answers.
Here, we are requesting a list of three questions, but the process is the
same for more questions.

 User: I would like to create a recruitment test for a real estate agent.
I would like a list of 3 questions to ask them. The goal is to select the
best candidates for this position.
 ChatGPT: Certainly! Here are three sample questions you can
include in your recruitment test for a real estate agent:

1. Scenario-Based Question:

Imagine you have a client who is looking to buy a


residential property in a specific neighborhood. They
have a specific budget and specific requirements. How
would you approach this situation to find them the
most suitable property? Please outline the steps you
would take and the key factors you would consider.

215
Chapter 12 Recruiting for a Company

2. Communication and Negotiation Skills:

Describe a situation where you had to negotiate with


a difficult client or counterparty during a real estate
transaction. How did you handle the situation, and
what was the outcome? What strategies or techniques
did you employ to ensure a successful negotiation?

3. Market Knowledge and Research:

Choose a specific neighborhood or area where you


have experience or expertise. Provide a detailed
analysis of that market, including recent trends,
average property prices, types of properties
available, amenities, and any other relevant
information. Demonstrate your understanding
of the local market dynamics and your ability to
conduct thorough research.

Remember to evaluate candidates’ responses based on their


knowledge, problem-solving skills, communication abilities, and
their ability to think critically and adapt to different situations. Good
luck with your recruitment process!

Now that we have the list of questions, each candidate will need
to provide their answer to each question. Once each candidate has
completed their questionnaire, we will use ChatGPT to evaluate each
answer and provide an overall assessment of the candidate.
To do this, we need to ask ChatGPT to allow us to enter, for each
question, the candidate’s answer. Once the answer is entered, ChatGPT
evaluates the response to the question and then asks us to enter the
answer to the next question. After entering the last answer, ChatGPT
displays its overall evaluation of the candidate.

216
Chapter 12 Recruiting for a Company

With this mechanism, ChatGPT allows us to create a questionnaire to


assess the candidate, but it also provides its opinion on the candidate’s
profile for the proposed position. ChatGPT has become a recruitment
advisor!
Let’s ask ChatGPT to set up this mechanism. The following question
was written after several unsuccessful attempts, until the desired results
were achieved.
We have broken down the question into short sentences so that
ChatGPT understands our request.

 User: Ask me the first question. I answer to this question. Give your
opinion and a rating from 0 to 10 on the answer I provide. Then write
the next question, and ask me to give an answer. In the end, provide
your overall assessment.

 ChatGPT: Certainly! Let’s proceed with the first question:

1. Scenario-Based Question:

Imagine you have a client who is looking to buy a


residential property in a specific neighborhood.
They have a specific budget and specific
requirements. How would you approach this
situation to find them the most suitable property?
Please outline the steps you would take and the key
factors you would consider.

Please provide your answer below.

 User: I would go and ask people in the desired neighborhood if


they want to sell their house, letting them know that I have several
interested clients.

217
Chapter 12 Recruiting for a Company

 ChatGPT: Thank you for your response. Based on your answer, your
approach to finding suitable properties for your clients in the desired
neighborhood is to directly approach homeowners and inquire if
they are interested in selling their houses. You mention leveraging
the fact that you have interested clients.

My Opinion: While this approach demonstrates


proactive outreach and leveraging potential
client interest, it may have limitations in terms of
scalability and availability of suitable properties.
Additionally, it’s important to consider other
factors such as property listings, market research,
and utilizing online platforms to widen the search.
Expanding your approach beyond direct inquiries
could enhance your chances of finding the most
suitable property for your client.

Rating: 6/10

Now, here’s the next question:

2. Communication and Negotiation Skills:

Describe a situation where you had to negotiate with


a difficult client or counterparty during a real estate
transaction. How did you handle the situation,
and what was the outcome? What strategies or
techniques did you employ to ensure a successful
negotiation?

218
Chapter 12 Recruiting for a Company

Please provide your answer below.

It is evident that ChatGPT has understood the


mechanism we wanted to implement. It asks us a
question, then analyzes the given response while
also assigning a rating. Then it displays the next
question, to which we respond.

 User: I had a client who proposed a 10% price reduction on the house
I was selling. The owner did not want to lower the price. I told the
client that the owner did not want to lower the price because prices
were going to increase in the coming months. This convinced the
client to quickly purchase the property.

 ChatGPT: Thank you for your response. In the given situation, you
encountered a client who proposed a 10% price reduction on a
house you were selling, but the owner was unwilling to lower the
price. To convince the client to proceed with the purchase, you
informed them that prices were expected to increase in the coming
months, leading them to quickly decide on purchasing the property.

My Opinion: Your approach to handling the negotiation


with the difficult client showcases your ability to
effectively communicate and influence their decision-
making process. By providing them with information
about potential future price increases, you successfully
motivated the client to make a quick decision.

Rating: 8/10

Now, let’s move on to the final question:

219
Chapter 12 Recruiting for a Company

3. Market Knowledge and Research:

Choose a specific neighborhood or area where you have


experience or expertise. Provide a detailed analysis of
that market, including recent trends, average property
prices, types of properties available, amenities, and
any other relevant information. Demonstrate your
understanding of the local market dynamics and your
ability to conduct thorough research.

Please provide your answer below.


User: I am very familiar with the city of Austin, Texas. It is a city with
 
many houses featuring swimming pools and small gardens around
them. The price per square meter is around $10,000, increasing
by 10% annually. The city is highly residential and very peaceful,
making it perfect for executives from large companies located in the
downtown area.

 ChatGPT: Thank you for your response. Your analysis focuses on the
city of Austin, Texas, highlighting its characteristics, market trends,
and target audience.
My Opinion: Your description of Austin showcases
your familiarity with the city and its real estate
market. You mention the prevalence of houses with
swimming pools and small gardens, the average price
per square meter, and the annual price increase.
Additionally, you emphasize the city’s appeal to
executives from downtown companies due to its
residential nature and peaceful environment.

Rating: 9/10

220
Chapter 12 Recruiting for a Company

Overall Assessment:

Based on your responses, you demonstrate a good understanding


of the real estate industry and the role of a real estate agent. Your
approach to finding suitable properties shows proactiveness, and
your negotiation skills exhibit the ability to influence clients positively.
Additionally, your knowledge of the Austin market and its target
audience indicates a strong grasp of local dynamics.

Overall, I rate your performance highly and believe you possess the
skills and knowledge required for the role of a real estate agent.

Keep up the good work!

Once we answered ChatGPT’s questions, it provided us with an overall


evaluation of all the given responses.
Using ChatGPT to create recruitment tests can be a valuable asset
for companies looking to optimize their hiring process and find the
most qualified candidates for each position. However, it is important
to emphasize that recruitment tests should not be considered the sole
criteria for candidate selection but rather as a complementary tool within
a comprehensive selection process.
Now, let’s see how ChatGPT can help us conduct a job interview.

Creating Interview Templates


In addition to recruitment tests, ChatGPT can be used to create a template
of questions for a job interview.
Job interviews are a crucial tool for assessing candidates’ skills and
qualities during the recruitment process. However, creating a structured
and relevant interview template can be a challenge for many companies.
This is where ChatGPT can assist by generating customized interview
templates that meet the specific needs of each company.

221
Chapter 12 Recruiting for a Company

With its natural language expertise and ability to understand the


specific requirements of a position, ChatGPT can propose a series of
targeted questions to assess candidates’ skills, experience, and personality.
These interview templates generated by ChatGPT can serve as a guide for
recruiters, suggesting relevant questions to ask during the interview.
Here’s an example of how to obtain a recruitment template for hiring a
real estate agent:

User: I would like to hire a real estate agent specializing in selling


 
apartments in our city with a population of 50,000. Can you
provide me with an interview template that will help me assess the
candidate’s potential?

 ChatGPT: Certainly! Here’s an interview template to help you assess


a candidate specializing in selling apartments in your city:

1. Introduction and Background:

a. Begin the interview by introducing yourself and the company.

b. Ask the candidate to briefly introduce themselves,


highlighting their relevant experience in selling apartments.

2. Knowledge of the Local Market:

a. Inquire about the candidate’s familiarity with your city and its
apartment market.

b. Ask them to share their understanding of the current market


trends, demand, and pricing dynamics for apartments in
your city.

c. Assess their knowledge of the various neighborhoods or areas


within your city and their suitability for apartment sales.

222
Chapter 12 Recruiting for a Company

3. Experience and Track Record:

a. Ask the candidate to provide examples of their past


experience in selling apartments.

b. Inquire about the types of apartments they have sold,


including their size, price range, and target clientele.

c. Request specific details on notable achievements, such as


successfully closing complex deals or exceeding sales targets.

4. Sales Techniques and Strategies:

a. Ask the candidate to describe their approach to selling


apartments. How do they attract potential buyers and
close deals?

b. Inquire about their strategies for marketing apartments,


including online platforms, open houses, or collaborations
with other agents or agencies.

c. Assess their ability to handle objections and negotiate


effectively with potential buyers or their agents.

5. Customer Service and Relationship Building:


a. Ask the candidate how they build and maintain relationships
with clients during the apartment selling process.

b. Inquire about their approach to understanding and fulfilling


the specific needs and preferences of potential buyers.

c. Assess their ability to provide exceptional customer service


and ensure client satisfaction throughout the sales journey.

6. Adaptability and Problem-Solving Skills:

a. Ask the candidate to share a challenging situation they


encountered while selling an apartment and how they
resolved it.

223
Chapter 12 Recruiting for a Company

b. Inquire about their ability to adapt to changing market


conditions or client demands.

c. Assess their problem-solving skills by presenting a


hypothetical scenario and asking for their proposed solution.

7. Closing and Next Steps:

a. Conclude the interview by asking the candidate if they have


any questions for you or if there is any additional information
they would like to share.

b. Provide an overview of the next steps in the hiring process,


including when they can expect to hear back from you.

Remember to take notes during the interview and rate each


candidate’s responses to help you compare and evaluate them
effectively. Good luck with your interviews!

We have a good interview template with the candidates. However, we


also want to know the key points that will allow us to be certain that the
candidate is the right fit.

User: Are there any key points to know that will ensure the candidate
 
is the best fit for the position?

 ChatGPT: Yes, there are several key points to consider when


assessing a candidate to ensure they are the best fit for the position
of a real estate agent specializing in selling apartments. Here are
some important factors to keep in mind:

1. Knowledge of the Local Market: The candidate


should have a deep understanding of your city’s
apartment market, including current trends, pricing
dynamics, and neighborhood suitability. Look for
candidates who can demonstrate their knowledge
and provide specific examples.

224
Chapter 12 Recruiting for a Company

2. Sales Experience and Track Record: Evaluate the


candidate’s past experience in selling apartments,
including the types of apartments they have sold,
their sales volume, and any notable achievements.
Look for candidates who have a proven track
record of success and can showcase their ability to
close deals.

3. Communication and Negotiation Skills: Effective


communication and negotiation are vital for a
real estate agent. Assess the candidate’s ability
to articulate their ideas, handle objections, and
negotiate favorable terms. Look for candidates
who can build rapport with clients and other
stakeholders.

4. Customer Service Orientation: Providing


exceptional customer service is crucial in the real
estate industry. Look for candidates who prioritize
understanding client needs, providing personalized
service, and maintaining strong relationships
throughout the sales process.
5. Adaptability and Problem-Solving Skills: The
candidate should demonstrate adaptability to
changing market conditions and the ability to think
on their feet. Assess their problem-solving skills by
evaluating how they handle challenges or difficult
situations that may arise during the apartment sales
process.

225
Chapter 12 Recruiting for a Company

6. Self-Motivation and Drive: Look for candidates


who are self-motivated, proactive, and driven
to achieve results. Real estate agents often work
independently, so it’s important to find candidates
who can take initiative and work effectively without
constant supervision.
7. Professionalism and Integrity: Assess the
candidate’s professionalism, ethics, and integrity.
Look for individuals who demonstrate honesty,
transparency, and a commitment to ethical practices
in their dealings with clients and colleagues.
Remember to consider these key points along with the candidate’s
overall fit with your company’s culture and values. Conducting
thorough interviews, checking references, and assessing their
compatibility with the specific requirements of selling apartments in
your city will help you make an informed hiring decision.

By using ChatGPT to generate an interview template, recruiters can


benefit from a more structured and consistent approach when selecting
candidates, resulting in more precise information to make informed decisions.
It is important to note that the interview templates generated by
ChatGPT should not be considered as a definitive solution but rather as a
starting point to create a customized template that aligns with the needs
and values of your company.

Conclusion
The recruitment process in a company holds great importance in finding
the most qualified and suitable candidates for a given position. Several key
steps are necessary to successfully carry out this process, including crafting
attractive job postings, creating relevant recruitment tests, and establishing
effective interview templates:
226

candidates who align with the specific needs of the
company. A precise job description that highlights
required skills and associated responsibilities is

filtering candidates by assessing their technical
skills, knowledge, and ability to tackle the challenges
of the position. These tests can take various forms,

• Lastly, creating well-structured interview templates


enables a deeper assessment of candidates. These
templates provide a guide to ask relevant and
consistent questions, emphasizing the desired skills,
experience, and personality traits. They also help

content, it can assist in crafting compelling job postings, creating relevant
recruitment tests, and generating interview templates tailored to each
specific position.

Here, ChatGPT has provided us with, among other things, a list of


possible questions to which we need to prepare answers. In case it hasn’t
provided us with the list, we simply need to ask it to provide us with a list of
potential questions to prepare for the job interview.

 User: Could you give me a list of 5 questions I should be prepared


to answer for the job interview for the position I’m seeking? Please
indicate the most likely questions. Thank you.

 ChatGPT: Certainly! Here are five common and likely questions you
should be prepared to answer for a high-end car salesperson job
interview:

241
Chapter 13 Applying to a Company

1. Why are you interested in working as a high-end


car salesperson?

–– This question helps the interviewer understand


your motivation and passion for the role. Highlight
your interest in luxury cars, the excitement of
working with discerning clients, and the satisfac-
tion you derive from delivering exceptional cus-
tomer experiences.

2. How do you build relationships and provide a


personalized sales experience to high-net-worth
clients?

–– Luxury car sales require a strong focus on relation-


ship building. Discuss your approach to under-
standing the unique needs and preferences of
high-net-worth clients, providing personalized
recommendations, and creating a memorable
experience throughout the sales process.

3. Describe a challenging sales situation you


encountered and how you overcame it.
–– This question assesses your problem-solving skills
and ability to handle obstacles. Share a specific
example of a difficult sales scenario, how you identi-
fied the challenge, the actions you took to overcome
it, and the successful outcome you achieved.

4. How do you handle objections and negotiate


effectively?

–– Negotiation and objection handling are critical


skills in sales. Explain your approach to listening
actively to clients, addressing concerns with

242
Chapter 13 Applying to a Company

empathy, presenting persuasive arguments, and


finding mutually beneficial solutions to close deals
effectively.

5. Share an experience where you exceeded


sales targets or achieved a notable sales
accomplishment.

–– This question allows you to demonstrate your track


record of success. Discuss a specific achievement
where you surpassed sales targets, secured a
significant sale, or received recognition for your
sales performance. Highlight the strategies and
actions you employed to achieve that success.

Remember, it’s important to tailor your responses to showcase your


skills, experiences, and achievements relevant to the high-end car
sales role. Additionally, be prepared for other common interview
questions that may arise during the conversation. Good luck with
your interview!

We have thus obtained a list of relevant questions that could be asked


during the interview. Let’s see in the next section how to use this question
list and improve ourselves for the job interview.

Conducting a Job Interview Simulation


We suggest immersing yourself in job interview simulations to familiarize
yourself with the types of questions that may be asked and, more
importantly, to refine your answers. Whether you are new to the interview
process or looking to enhance your existing skills, these exercises will allow
you to practice interactively and receive feedback to improve.

243
Chapter 13 Applying to a Company

Let’s ask ChatGPT to ask us the previous questions one by one, allow
us to answer each one, and then provide its feedback on each response.
Notice the structure of the question. At each step of the process, we
end with a period. When a step consists of multiple actions, we connect
them with the conjunction “and” (“Provide a feedback after my response
and ask the next question”). If you separate the actions of the same step
with a period instead of “and,” the resulting outcome will be completely
different.

User: Ask me each question. Wait for my response. Provide a


 
feedback after my response and ask the next question. At the end
give a global feedbak and a score. Okay ?

 ChatGPT: Of course! I can ask you each question, wait for your
response, provide feedback, and then proceed to the next question.
Once we’re done, I’ll provide a global feedback and score. Please go
ahead and share your response to the first question: Why are you
interested in working as a high-end car salesperson?

User: I have always loved luxury cars. I find them very stylish, and
 
their power is undoubtedly a significant asset. You are perceived
differently when you are behind the wheel of such a car!

 ChatGPT: Your response highlights your genuine passion for luxury


cars and the allure they bring. You emphasize the style and power
associated with high-end vehicles, as well as the impact they have
on one’s perception. This showcases your personal interest and
connection to the industry, which can translate into enthusiasm and
dedication as a high-end car salesperson. Well done!

Now, let’s move on to the next question: How do you build


relationships and provide a personalized sales experience to
high-net-worth clients?

244
Chapter 13 Applying to a Company

 User: Of course, I invite them to drive the car, I ask them what they
like the most, and how soon they would like to own it. I think this
process reinforces the desire to buy the car.

 ChatGPT: Your approach of inviting high-net-worth clients to


experience the car firsthand and actively engaging them in the
conversation by asking about their preferences and timeline is an
effective way to build relationships and provide a personalized sales
experience. By allowing them to drive the car, you’re giving them
an opportunity to connect with the vehicle on a deeper level and
understand its unique features and performance. Furthermore,
by asking about their preferences and timing, you demonstrate
attentiveness and a focus on their individual needs. This approach
can indeed reinforce their desire to own the car and create a more
tailored sales experience. Great response!

Now, let’s move on to the next question: Describe a challenging


sales situation you encountered and how you overcame it.

 User: A customer told me one day that he preferred a car from


another brand. I asked him why. Our cars had all the advantages
described by the customer, and many more. The customer ordered
the car from us.

 ChatGPT: Thank you for sharing your experience. It’s commendable


how you handled the challenging situation by proactively engaging
with the customer and addressing their concerns. By asking the
customer why they preferred the other brand, you demonstrated
a genuine interest in understanding their perspective and needs.
Furthermore, highlighting the advantages of your cars and
showcasing the additional features and benefits helped to showcase
the value your brand had to offer. Ultimately, your approach and
persuasive skills led to the customer placing an order with your
dealership. Well done!
245
Chapter 13 Applying to a Company

Moving on to the next question: How do you handle objections and


negotiate effectively?

User: Our cars are unique in the world. I show the customer the rare
 
pleasure of owning this kind of car.

 ChatGPT: Thank you for sharing your approach to handling


objections and negotiating effectively. By emphasizing the uniqueness
of your cars and highlighting the rare pleasure of owning them, you
are appealing to the emotional aspect of the customer’s decision-
making process. This can be an effective strategy, as luxury car buyers
often seek exclusive and exceptional experiences. By showcasing the
distinct features, craftsmanship, and prestige associated with your
vehicles, you can help overcome objections and create a strong desire
in the customer to own your high-end cars. Well done!

Now, let’s move on to the final question: Share an experience


where you exceeded sales targets or achieved a notable sales
accomplishment.

User: I once had a customer who was enthusiastic about your car.
 
I pointed out to him that his wife certainly dreamed of owning the
same as him. So he bought two cars!

 ChatGPT: Thank you for sharing your experience of exceeding sales


targets and achieving a notable sales accomplishment. By identifying
and highlighting the shared desire of the customer and their spouse
to own the same high-end car, you tapped into their emotional
connection and aspirations. This strategic approach not only led to
the sale of one car but resulted in the purchase of two cars. Selling
multiple cars to a single customer is an impressive achievement and
demonstrates your ability to identify opportunities and leverage
customer motivations effectively. Congratulations on exceeding
expectations and achieving outstanding sales results!

246
Chapter 13 Applying to a Company

Now that we’ve gone through all the questions, let’s move on to the
global feedback and score.

Global Feedback:

Overall, your responses were strong and demonstrated a genuine


passion for luxury cars, an understanding of the importance of
personalized sales experiences, effective objection handling and
negotiation skills, and a track record of exceeding sales targets.
Your ability to connect with customers on an emotional level and
leverage their desires contributed to your success in the sales field.
Your examples showcased your sales prowess and ability to meet
customer needs effectively.

Score: 9.2/10

Your responses were highly compelling, showcasing your expertise


and suitability for a high-end car salesperson role. Well done!

Based on the ratings received, perhaps instead of writing books about


ChatGPT, the author should consider venturing into high-end car sales!
But seriously, we have seen how to analyze the responses to a
questionnaire during a job interview. And we have also seen how to obtain
an overall assessment of all the given responses as well as an overall rating
for the candidate.

 nowing How to Answer Frequently


K
Asked Questions
Even though the interview is meant to recruit someone for a specific field,
it is common for typical questions to be asked during the interview, such
as “What are your strengths and weaknesses?” It’s better to have an answer
before going into the interview.

247
Chapter 13 Applying to a Company

User: I would like a list of typical questions that are frequently asked
 
during a job interview.

 ChatGPT: Certainly! Here’s a list of typical questions that are


frequently asked during a job interview:
1. Can you tell me about yourself?

2. What interests you about this position/company?

3. What are your strengths and weaknesses?

4. How do you handle challenges or difficult situations?

5. Can you provide an example of a time when you


demonstrated leadership skills?

6. How do you handle constructive criticism?

7. What do you know about our company?

248
Chapter 13 Applying to a Company

Remember, these are just some examples of common interview


questions, and the actual questions may vary depending on the
position and company. It’s always a good idea to prepare for a
variety of questions and practice your responses beforehand.

It is possible to practice with ChatGPT by answering these questions.


You just need to ask ChatGPT. Here’s an example:

 User: Ask me each question. Wait for my response. Provide a


feedback after my response and ask the next question. Don’t forget
to ask the next question after giving your feedback. At the end of the
first 5 questions, stop and give a global feedback and a score. Okay ?

Notice that we are using almost the same question format as we used
previously, but with an emphasis on reminding ChatGPT to ask the next
question after providing its feedback. Indeed, ChatGPT was refusing to
move on to the next question unless we insisted on it.

 ChatGPT: Understood! Let’s proceed with the interview format


you’ve requested. I’ll ask you each question, wait for your response,
provide feedback, and then move on to the next question. After the
first 5 questions, I’ll provide a global feedback and score. Let’s begin:

1. Can you tell me about yourself?

 User: I am 30 years old. I really want to show my worth and I hope to


find a company that is looking for this type of people.

 ChatGPT: Thank you for sharing. Your response provides a brief


overview of your age and your desire to prove your worth to a
company. However, it would be helpful to include more information
about your educational background, professional experiences,

249
Chapter 13 Applying to a Company

key skills, and any notable achievements that make you a strong
candidate for the position. This will provide the interviewer with
a more comprehensive understanding of your qualifications and
suitability for the role.

Next question:

2. What interests you about this position/company?

User: I want to make a lot of money!


 

 ChatGPT: Thank you for your response. While financial motivation


can be a factor in pursuing a position, it’s important to also express
genuine interest in the company and the specific role beyond just
monetary considerations. Try to highlight aspects such as the
company’s reputation, industry alignment, opportunities for growth
and development, the potential to contribute to a meaningful
mission, or any specific aspects of the role that excite you. This will
demonstrate a well-rounded and genuine interest in the position
and the company.

Next question:
3. What are your strengths and weaknesses?

User: I have courage but I am stubborn!


 

250
Chapter 13 Applying to a Company

 ChatGPT: Thank you for sharing your strengths and weaknesses.


Courage can be a valuable strength in various aspects of work,
such as taking calculated risks or speaking up for what you believe
in. However, it’s important to note that being stubborn may not
necessarily be viewed as a positive trait in a professional setting.
While determination and persistence are admirable qualities, it’s
crucial to also emphasize your ability to adapt, collaborate, and
consider alternative perspectives when necessary.
Next question:
4. How do you handle challenges or difficult
situations?

 User: I use my spirituality. When you are connected to the universe,


you have nothing to fear!

 ChatGPT: Thank you for sharing your approach to handling


challenges or difficult situations. Utilizing spirituality as a means
of finding strength and maintaining a positive mindset can indeed
be helpful for personal well-being. However, it’s important to also
highlight practical strategies or problem-solving techniques that
you employ in difficult situations. This could include skills such as
effective communication, critical thinking, resilience, and seeking
support from colleagues or mentors.

251
Chapter 13 Applying to a Company

Next question:

5. Can you provide an example of a time when you


went above and beyond to achieve results?

User: A client wanted to buy a car, but I suggested giving one to his
 
wife as well. He thought it was a great idea, so he ended up buying
two cars!

 ChatGPT: Thank you for sharing your example of going above


and beyond to achieve results. Your suggestion to offer a car to the
client’s wife as well showcases your proactive and customer-oriented
approach. By identifying an opportunity to enhance the customer’s
experience and meeting their needs beyond their initial request,
you successfully closed a deal for two cars instead of one. This
demonstrates your ability to think creatively, identify additional value
for customers, and ultimately exceed expectations.

Now that we’ve gone through the first 5 questions,


let’s move on to the global feedback and score.

Global Feedback:

Overall, your responses showcased your enthusiasm


and motivation. However, it would be beneficial to
provide more comprehensive information about
your background and qualifications during the
“Tell me about yourself” question. Additionally, it’s
important to focus on other aspects beyond financial

252
Chapter 13 Applying to a Company

motivation when discussing your interest in a


position or company. Finally, consider highlighting
practical strategies and skills in challenging situations
and balance personal approaches like spirituality
with more tangible problem-solving techniques.
Your example of going above and beyond to achieve
results was a strong highlight.

Score: 7.5/10

Your responses demonstrated some good aspects,


but there is room for improvement in certain areas.
Remember to provide more detailed and relevant
information, emphasize well-rounded interests,
and showcase practical skills and approaches in
challenging situations. Keep refining your responses
to effectively communicate your qualifications and
suitability for the position.

ChatGPT has gone through the first five questions


on the list, and it is certainly possible to ask it to
continue. We ask it to question us on the next two
questions to demonstrate that the process works.

 User: Can you continue with the next 2 questions, following the
same process?

 ChatGPT: Let’s continue with the next two questions:

6. How do you handle constructive criticism?

7. What do you know about our company?

Please provide your response to the first question, and I’ll


provide feedback accordingly.

253
Chapter 13 Applying to a Company

User: Constructive criticism is always a good thing because it allows


 
us to improve. Without improvement, the revenue will not increase. I
need to improve, and for that, critiques are welcome!

 ChatGPT: Thank you for sharing your perspective on handling


constructive criticism. Recognizing the value of feedback and
understanding that it contributes to personal and professional
growth is an important mindset to have. Emphasizing the
connection between improvement and revenue growth also
highlights your awareness of the business impact that continuous
development can have. Just be sure to also mention specific
strategies or actions you take when receiving constructive criticism,
such as active listening, reflection, and implementing changes based
on the feedback received.

Now, please provide your response to the second question: What do


you know about our company?

User: It is the world’s number one in the industry, and I would be


 
proud to be part of its expansion!

 ChatGPT: Thank you for sharing your response regarding the


company. Expressing your enthusiasm to be part of the company’s
expansion is a positive sentiment. However, it would be beneficial
to provide more specific knowledge about the company, such as its
core products or services, key achievements, unique selling points,
or its market position. Demonstrating a deeper understanding of
the company’s values, mission, and industry presence will showcase
your genuine interest and preparation.

254
Chapter 13 Applying to a Company

Now, let’s move on to the global feedback and score.

Global Feedback:

Overall, your responses showed enthusiasm and a willingness to


improve. It’s important to further emphasize specific strategies
for handling constructive criticism and provide more detailed
knowledge about the company during the interview. This will
demonstrate your preparedness, genuine interest, and alignment
with the company’s goals.

Score: 7.8/10

While there were positive aspects in your responses, there is still


room for improvement in providing more specific and detailed
information. Continue to refine your answers, showcase your
qualifications, and conduct thorough research on the company to
enhance your interview performance.

Knowing how to answer frequently asked questions during a job


interview is crucial for presenting yourself effectively and leaving a
positive impression on the interviewer. By preparing thoughtful and
well-structured responses, you can showcase your qualifications,
skills, and enthusiasm for the position and company.

Good luck with your interview preparations, and may you excel in
your future job interviews!

Chapter 13 Applying to a Company

Transforming Weaknesses into Strengths


Additionally, it is possible to use ChatGPT to transform our weaknesses
into strengths. Let’s assume that our weakness is shyness and ask ChatGPT
how it can be portrayed positively in this context.

User: If I am asked the question “what is my weakness”, my answer


 
is “shyness”. Could you please guide me on how I can showcase the
positive aspect of this weakness?

 ChatGPT: Certainly! When discussing a weakness like shyness, it’s


important to frame it in a way that showcases self-awareness and
highlights the positive aspects associated with it. Here’s a guide on
how to showcase the positive aspect of shyness as a weakness:

1. Acknowledge self-awareness: Begin by


acknowledging that shyness is a personal trait
you have identified as an area for improvement.
This demonstrates that you have reflected on your
weaknesses and are proactive in addressing them.

Example: “One area I have identified for


improvement is my shyness, especially in unfamiliar
situations.”

2. Highlight active listening skills: Explain how being


shy has developed your ability to actively listen and
observe others, allowing you to understand their
needs and perspectives more effectively.

Example: “However, I’ve found that my shyness


has enhanced my ability to be a keen observer and
active listener. It allows me to pay close attention to
details, understand others’ concerns, and ensure
that I respond thoughtfully.”

256
Chapter 13 Applying to a Company

3. Discuss thoughtful responses: Emphasize that your


shyness encourages you to think before speaking,
leading to more thoughtful and well-­considered
responses in conversations and decision-making.

Example: “Being shy makes me naturally inclined to


think before I speak. This helps me provide well-
thought-out responses and contribute valuable
insights in team discussions or when working on
projects.”

4. Show adaptability: Highlight your willingness to


step out of your comfort zone and actively work
on overcoming your shyness, demonstrating
adaptability and a commitment to personal growth.

Example: “I recognize that in certain professional


situations, it’s essential to step out of my comfort
zone. I actively challenge myself to participate in
group activities, deliver presentations, and engage in
networking events, as I understand the importance of
continuously improving and adapting in the workplace.”
By framing your shyness in this way, you demonstrate self-
awareness, active listening skills, thoughtful responses, and
adaptability, all of which are valuable qualities in various
professional settings.

Remember, the key is to provide a genuine and honest response


while showcasing how you actively address and leverage your
weakness to bring positive contributions to the workplace.

ChatGPT is truly helpful. In fact, perhaps shyness is not a weakness but


rather a strength!

Chapter 14 Writing a Speech

What’s incredible about ChatGPT is that it manages to write a whole


speech and convey emotions based on just a few lines.

Political Speech
The last type of speech presented here is a political speech. Regardless of
who the politician is, they must be able to touch the hearts of the audience.
For this example, let’s assume we are the President of the United States,
facing a challenging economic situation regarding inflation (it’s 2023). Let’s
ask ChatGPT to write the speech for the President of the United States! Will
it be able to touch the hearts of the Americans?

 User: I am the President of the United States. Inflation is rampant,


and the purchasing power of Americans is declining. My government
is fighting against this scourge. I would like to assure, through a brief
and impactful speech, that we stand wholeheartedly with every
American and that the government is doing its utmost to resolve this
serious issue.
 ChatGPT: Ladies and gentlemen,

My fellow Americans,
Today, I stand before you as your President, keenly aware of the
challenges our nation is facing. The rapid rise in inflation has
impacted the purchasing power of every American, threatening our
economic stability and the well-being of our citizens. I want you
to know that we stand united in this fight, and the government is
resolute in its commitment to address this serious issue head-on.

The effects of inflation are felt by hardworking individuals and families


across our great nation. The rising costs of goods and services have
put a strain on household budgets, making it increasingly difficult to
make ends meet. But let me assure you, we hear your concerns, and
we are taking decisive action to combat this scourge.

273
Chapter 14 Writing a Speech

Our government is fully aware of the gravity of the situation, and


we are employing every available resource to mitigate the impact
of inflation. We have assembled a dedicated team of experts,
economists, and policymakers to analyze the root causes and
develop comprehensive strategies to stabilize prices and restore the
purchasing power of every American.

We understand the urgency of the matter, and our efforts are focused
on implementing measures that will yield tangible results. From
targeted fiscal policies to increased oversight and regulation, we
are committed to restoring balance and ensuring a fair and thriving
economy for all.

But let me be clear: resolving this issue will not happen overnight.
It will require patience, perseverance, and the collective strength of
our nation. We must come together as one, united in the pursuit of a
brighter future for ourselves and future generations.

To our fellow Americans, I want you to know that you are not alone
in this struggle. We stand with you, shoulder to shoulder, committed
to providing the support and resources necessary to weather these
challenging times. We will work tirelessly to create an environment
where your hard work is rewarded, where your dreams can flourish,
and where economic stability is restored.

I am confident in our collective resilience and determination.


Together, we will overcome this hurdle, emerging stronger and more
united than ever before. The path ahead may be difficult, but with
unwavering dedication and the power of the American spirit, we will
prevail.

274
Chapter 14 Writing a Speech

My fellow Americans, let us march forward with hope, knowing that


our government is fully engaged in resolving the issue of inflation.
Together, we will rebuild our economy, restore the purchasing power
of every American, and create a brighter and more prosperous future
for all.

Thank you, and God bless the United States of America.

responsibility, ChatGPT can help us write a speech that effectively conveys
our message.

Invent a Unique Name for a Product


Finding the perfect name for a product is a crucial challenge in a
company’s marketing strategy. An original and memorable name allows
you to stand out from competitors, attract consumer attention, and foster
success in the market. However, this task can be daunting, especially when
it is important for the name to reflect the brand’s values while being easily
memorable. This is where the assistance of ChatGPT can be invaluable in
helping businesses find a unique name for their product.
Let’s call upon ChatGPT to stimulate our creativity and find an original
name for the women’s fragrance inspired by the vastness of the ocean,
previously referred to as Ocean Breeze.

User: I would like to find a new name for the new women’s fragrance
 
“Ocean Breeze,” which embodies the fresh air of the open sea and
the freedom to live. It should evoke a sense of absolute freedom
when wearing it. Can you suggest multiple names and explain why
they are relevant?
 ChatGPT: Certainly! Here are a few name suggestions for the new
women’s fragrance that captures the essence of the open sea,
freedom, and absolute liberation:

1. “Aqua Serenity”: This name combines the serene


qualities of water with the sense of tranquility and
freedom that the open sea represents. It evokes a feeling
of calmness, purity, and the ability to let go of constraints.

2. “Horizon Escape”: The name “Horizon Escape”


symbolizes breaking free from the boundaries
and limitations of everyday life, embracing the
vastness of the open sea. It represents the desire for
exploration, adventure, and the thrill of discovering
new horizons.

278
Chapter 15 Finding Inspiration

3. “LiberSea”: This name is a play on the words


“liberty” and “sea,” encapsulating the spirit of
freedom that comes with the fragrance. It suggests
a sense of liberation, self-expression, and the power
to be true to oneself.

4. “Oceanic Embrace”: “Oceanic Embrace” signifies


the embrace of the ocean’s energy and vitality,
capturing the exhilarating feeling of being one with
the sea. It reflects a sense of freedom, joy, and a
connection to nature.

5. “Siren’s Breath”: This name draws inspiration


from the mythical sirens who lured sailors with
their captivating voices. “Siren’s Breath” suggests
the irresistible allure and freedom associated with
the fragrance, evoking a sense of confidence and
empowerment.

Each of these name suggestions conveys a unique aspect of


freedom, liberation, and the fresh air of the open sea. They capture
the essence of absolute freedom and evoke a sense of adventure,
self-expression, and connection to nature. Consider selecting a
name that resonates most strongly with the brand identity and
target audience, while also encompassing the desired feelings and
associations.

Ocean Breeze is indeed a lovely name for the fragrance, but the new
names proposed here are also relevant.
Finding a unique name for a product is essential to distinguish it from
the competition and capture the interest of consumers. A impactful name
helps establish an emotional connection with consumers and strengthens
brand recognition in the market.

Generating Innovative New Products


ChatGPT provides a tangible opportunity to harness artificial intelligence
for creativity, including generating innovative ideas for new products or
services. By providing a basic description of the desired product or service,
ChatGPT can suggest creative concepts while considering various criteria
such as features, market needs, and current trends.
This approach enables designers and innovators to step out of their
comfort zone and be inspired by new and original ideas that they may not
have otherwise considered, pushing the boundaries of their creativity.
Here’s an example of how to use ChatGPT to generate ideas for
creating a new design for the Ocean Breeze women’s fragrance.

User: I would like to create a new design for our new women’s
 
fragrance, “Ocean Breeze.” It embodies the fresh air of the open sea
and the freedom to live. It should evoke a sense of absolute freedom
when wearing it. Please provide me with some original ideas to help
me stand out from the competition.

 ChatGPT: Certainly! Here are some original design ideas for the
new women’s fragrance, “Ocean Breeze,” that can help you stand out
from the competition and capture the essence of absolute freedom:
1. Wave-inspired Bottle: Design the bottle in the
shape of a gently curving wave, reflecting the fluidity
and movement of the open sea. Utilize translucent
or iridescent materials to mimic the shimmering
effect of sunlight on water. This unique design
will instantly evoke a sense of freedom and the
refreshing qualities of the ocean.

2. Seashell Accents: Incorporate seashell-inspired


elements into the packaging or bottle design. Utilize
delicate and intricate patterns resembling seashells

280
Chapter 15 Finding Inspiration

to create an elegant and luxurious look. This design


not only symbolizes the ocean but also adds a touch
of sophistication to the fragrance.

3. Airy and Fluid Typography: Choose a typeface


for the product name and description that exudes
a sense of lightness and movement. Opt for a
graceful, flowing font that captures the breezy and
carefree nature of the open sea. The typography
should evoke a feeling of freedom and add a visually
striking element to the overall design.

4. Coastal Landscapes: Consider incorporating coastal


landscapes into the design. This can be achieved
through artistic illustrations or photographs on the
packaging or promotional materials. A serene beach or
an expansive ocean view can evoke a sense of freedom,
inviting the wearer to immerse themselves in the
fragrance experience.

5. Interactive Packaging: Create interactive packaging


that stimulates the senses and imagination. For
example, you can include inspiring quotes or
symbols of freedom inside the packaging, or add
a surprise element such as a bracelet or a small
symbolic object related to the concept of freedom.

Remember, the goal is to create a design that visually communicates


the concept of absolute freedom and the fresh air of the open sea.
Choose elements that evoke a sense of tranquility, movement, and
the connection to nature. These original design ideas will help your
product stand out and resonate with consumers looking for a unique
and liberating fragrance experience.

281
Chapter 15 Finding Inspiration

All these ideas provided by ChatGPT are original. We would like to


learn more about the concept of “interactive packaging.” Let’s ask ChatGPT
to further develop this idea.

User: Could you elaborate more on the concept of “Interactive


 
Packaging”? Please provide me with more details and ideas!

 ChatGPT: Sure! Here are some additional ideas to further develop


the concept of Interactive Packaging:

Inspiring Messages: Add inspiring messages or quotes related to


freedom and exploration inside the packaging. When users open
the box, they discover uplifting words that reinforce the feeling of
freedom and adventure.

Treasure Map: Design the packaging as a treasure map, with


visual clues and symbols indicating the journey to freedom.
Consumers can follow the clues to discover hidden surprises
inside the packaging, such as additional perfume samples or small
symbolic gifts.

Revealing Elements: Incorporate revealing elements into the


packaging that unveil when the box is opened. For example, once
opened, the box can transform into a relief scene depicting a seaside
landscape with iconic characters or symbols of freedom.

Augmented Reality: Use augmented reality technology to provide


an interactive experience through the packaging. Users can
scan a QR code on the box to unlock virtual content, such as 3D
animations, audio stories, or videos that illustrate the concept of
freedom and escape.

Transforming Packaging: Design packaging that can transform


into something reusable and practical for users. For example, once
opened, the box can turn into a travel stand for the perfume, with

282
Chapter 15 Finding Inspiration

compartments to store jewelry or other small items, reminding them


of the notion of freedom and mobility.

Interactive Labels: Use interactive labels on the bottle or flask, with


touch-sensitive elements or scratch-off areas. Users can interact with
the label to reveal additional information about the perfume, usage
tips, or inspiring messages.

Musical Packaging: Incorporate a musical device into the packaging


that plays a soothing or uplifting melody when the box is opened.
The music can evoke the spirit of freedom and lightness associated
with the perfume, creating an immersive sensory experience.

Feel free to combine several of these ideas or adapt them according


to your vision and brand. The goal is to create an interactive and
memorable experience for consumers, reinforcing the association
between the perfume and freedom.

The idea of “musical packaging” is truly unique. You open the perfume
bottle, and music starts playing. Let’s ask ChatGPT which music it would
suggest.

 User: I love the idea of “Musical Packaging.” Could you give me some
music ideas to associate with it? Please indicate both royalty-free
music and other options. I will make the final selection.

 ChatGPT: Absolutely! Here are some music suggestions to associate


with your feminine perfume, including both royalty-free music and
additional suggestions:

want to associate with your perfume, evoking the sense of the open
sea and the freedom of living. Take the time to listen to different
options and find the one that best fits your vision.

The music titles suggested by ChatGPT are indeed relevant and in


line with the perfume you want to highlight. The creation of new and
innovative products is an exciting process that requires creative thinking
and a deep understanding of consumer needs and desires. Continuous
innovation allows you to stay competitive in the market and establish a

Composing Original Songs


Using ChatGPT to generate song lyrics opens up new possibilities for
artists and music enthusiasts. It’s a fun and innovative way to explore
creativity, find inspiration, and develop your own musical style. Whether
you’re an aspiring musician or simply curious, don’t hesitate to dive into
the world of song lyric generation with ChatGPT.
Let’s ask ChatGPT to write an upbeat original song!

 User: I would like to create an upbeat song with easy-to-remember


lyrics. The associated style is Dance Floor. The song will be played in
nightclubs. It should get people moving and dancing intensely.

 ChatGPT: (Verse 1)

Step on the dance floor, feel the groove take hold,

Let the rhythm guide you, let the beats unfold,

We’re here to party, and the night is young,

Get ready to dance, ‘cause we’ve just begun.

(Pre-Chorus)

Shake your body, let the music take control,

Feel the energy rising, let it free your soul,

Leave your worries behind, just let it all go,

On the dance floor, let your true colors show.

(Chorus)

Dance, dance, get up and move your feet,

Feel the rhythm, let it take the lead,

We’re here to celebrate, to feel alive,

Come on everybody, let’s jive, jive, jive.

(Verse 2)

The lights are flashing, the bass is pumping loud,

No inhibitions here, just let yourself be proud,

Feel the euphoria, as the DJ spins,

This dance floor’s the place where the magic begins.

(Bridge)

Jump higher, go faster, feel the adrenaline rise,

Lose yourself in the music, let it mesmerize,

Hands up in the air, let’s create a symphony,

This dance floor’s our escape, our place of harmony.

(Chorus)

Dance, dance, get up and move your feet,

Feel the rhythm, let it take the lead,

We’re here to celebrate, to feel alive,

Come on everybody, let’s jive, jive, jive.


(Outro)

So let’s keep dancing, this night’s ours to own,

Feel the energy pulsing through every bone,

On the dance floor, we’ll dance ‘til the break of dawn,

Together we’ll create a memory that will forever live on.

(Note: Feel free to add your own musical composition and


arrangement to bring the song to life. Adjust the lyrics as needed to
fit your style and preferences.)

286
Chapter 15 Finding Inspiration

Indeed, considering the lyrics and the rhythm, it’s clear that this song
will set the nightclubs on fire!
Let’s ask ChatGPT to provide us with the musical notes for this song.

 User: Can you provide the musical notes for this song?

 ChatGPT: As an AI text-based model, I’m unable to directly provide


musical notes or compose melodies. However, I can offer you a
general suggestion on how to approach the musical composition for
the song.

The song’s genre is Dance Floor, which typically features high-


energy electronic dance music. You can consider a fast tempo,
around 120-130 beats per minute, to keep the energy up and get
people moving.

For the verses and pre-chorus, you may want to focus on a catchy
and repetitive melody that can easily stick in people’s minds.
Utilize upbeat synth sounds or catchy guitar riffs to create an
infectious groove.

When it comes to the chorus, aim for a memorable and uplifting


melody that encourages audience participation. Consider using
dynamic synth hooks or powerful vocal melodies to make the chorus
stand out and invite people to sing along.

In the bridge section, you can experiment with breakdowns or


instrumental solos to add variety and build anticipation before the
final chorus. This can serve as a climactic moment to intensify the
dancefloor experience.

Remember to consider the arrangement, layering different


instruments and sounds to create depth and energy throughout the
song. Drum beats should be driving and prominent, with a strong
bassline and rhythmic elements to enhance the danceability.

287
Chapter 15 Finding Inspiration

While I can’t provide specific musical notes, I hope these general


suggestions help you in creating an upbeat and memorable song
for the dancefloor. Collaborating with a musician or using music
production software can assist you in turning the lyrics into a full-
fledged musical composition.

ChatGPT doesn’t want to generate musical notes as it is just an


“artificial intelligence.” However, we can get more from it by telling it that it
is a musician!

User: You are a musician. Can you provide the musical notes for
 
this song?
 ChatGPT: Certainly! Here’s a suggested melody with the
corresponding musical notes for the lyrics of the song in a dance
floor style. Please note that the provided notes are for reference, and
you can modify them as per your musical preferences and style.

Verse & Pre-Chorus:

GGGG|AAAA|BBBB|GGGG|
GGGG|AAAA|BBBB|GGGG|

Chorus:

CCCC|DDDD|EEEE|DDDD|
CCCC|DDDD|EEEE|DDDD|
CCCC|DDDD|EEEE|FFFF|
GGGG|FFFF|EEEE|DDDD|

Bridge:

GGGG|AAAA|BBBB|GGGG|
GGGG|AAAA|BBBB|GGGG|

Chorus (Reprise):

CCCC|DDDD|EEEE|DDDD|
CCCC|DDDD|EEEE|DDDD|
CCCC|DDDD|EEEE|FFFF|
GGGG|FFFF|EEEE|DDDD|

Outro:

GGGG|AAAA|BBBB|GGGG|
GGGG|AAAA|BBBB|GGGG|

These notes provide a foundation for the melody of the song.


However, it’s important to note that additional musical elements
such as chords, harmonies, and rhythm patterns will enhance the
overall composition. Feel free to experiment and adapt the notes to
suit your desired musical style and arrangement.

As we don’t necessarily know the music, ask ChatGPT to explain the


letters A, B, and so on used in its answer.

 User: Could you explain the letters A, B...

 ChatGPT: Certainly! In the musical context, the letters A, B, C, D,


E, F, and G represent the different notes in the musical alphabet.
Each letter corresponds to a specific pitch or tone. Here’s a brief
explanation of the musical alphabet:

A: Represents the musical note “A”


B: Represents the musical note “B”
C: Represents the musical note “C”
D: Represents the musical note “D”
E: Represents the musical note “E”
F: Represents the musical note “F”
G: Represents the musical note “G”

289
Chapter 15 Finding Inspiration

In the provided musical notation, each letter corresponds to a


specific musical note, and repeating the same letter indicates
playing or singing the same note multiple times in succession. The
sequence of notes forms the melody or musical arrangement.

Please note that the musical notation provided is in a simplified


format and does not indicate the specific rhythm or duration of each
note. It’s always best to consult a sheet music or musical notation
professional for accurate and detailed musical notation.

Generating song lyrics with ChatGPT is a fascinating method for music


enthusiasts and aspiring songwriters. With this technology, it is possible
to unleash your creativity and create original lyrics for songs in various
musical genres.

Writing a Blog Article


Writing a blog article is a fantastic opportunity to share your knowledge,
passion, and ideas with a wide online audience. Whether you’re a
seasoned blogger or an enthusiastic beginner, this section will guide you
through the essential steps to create engaging and informative content.
Let’s assume you run a blog about relationship issues. You want to
write an article explaining how to establish a peaceful relationship within
a couple.

 User: I run a blog about relationship issues. I would like a three-


paragraph article explaining how to establish a peaceful relationship
within a couple. Please include examples. Thank you!

 ChatGPT: Title: Cultivating Peace: Building a Harmonious


Relationship

Introduction:

Establishing a peaceful and harmonious relationship is a


shared endeavor that requires effort, understanding, and open
communication between partners. When both individuals actively

295
Chapter 15 Finding Inspiration

work towards creating a peaceful environment, conflicts can be


resolved amicably, and love can thrive. In this article, we will
explore three key principles for fostering peace within a couple,
accompanied by practical examples.

1. Embrace Effective Communication:

Clear and compassionate communication forms the


foundation of a peaceful relationship. It is essential
to express thoughts, feelings, and concerns openly
while actively listening to your partner. For instance,
instead of resorting to blame during an argument,
try using “I” statements to express your emotions.
For example, say, “I feel hurt when you cancel our
plans without prior notice” instead of saying, “You
always ruin our plans.” This approach encourages
understanding and avoids escalating tensions.

2. Practice Empathy and Understanding:

Cultivating empathy and understanding within


a relationship is crucial for fostering peace. Put
yourself in your partner’s shoes and strive to
comprehend their perspective and feelings. When
conflicts arise, seek common ground and work
towards finding mutually beneficial solutions. For
instance, if your partner is feeling overwhelmed
with work, try offering support and understanding
instead of adding additional pressure. By showing
empathy, you create a safe space where both
partners can share their vulnerabilities without fear
of judgment.

296
Chapter 15 Finding Inspiration

3. Foster Appreciation and Gratitude:

Acknowledging and appreciating each other’s


efforts goes a long way in maintaining peace within
a relationship. Express gratitude for the little things
your partner does, whether it’s cooking a meal
or offering a listening ear after a long day. This
appreciation reinforces positivity and strengthens
the bond between partners. For example, surprise
your partner with a heartfelt note or a small gesture
of kindness to show your gratitude. By nurturing a
culture of appreciation, you create an atmosphere of
love and harmony.

Conclusion:

Establishing a peaceful relationship requires dedication and a


commitment to growth. By embracing effective communication,
practicing empathy and understanding, and fostering appreciation,
couples can create an environment of love, trust, and harmony.
Remember that it takes both partners’ active participation to build
and maintain a peaceful relationship. With patience, compassion,
and consistent effort, couples can nurture a bond that stands strong
even in the face of challenges, enabling their love to flourish.

Creating Engaging Narratives


In this section, we explore how ChatGPT generates stories from simple
prompts. ChatGPT helps in creating interesting and original narratives
with just a few basic elements.

User: I would like to create a science fiction story. Due to climate

inhabitants of the planet are fighting over the limited water sources.
It feels like a prehistoric era of the war for fire. Tell the story of
the Smith family, who defends their water source and is regularly
attacked by other families.
 ChatGPT: In a future plagued by the consequences of climate
change, Earth’s water resources have become scarce and precious.
The struggle for survival has escalated into a fierce battle for
control over the limited remaining water sources, reminiscent of a
prehistoric era where humanity fought for fire. Among the chaos, the
Smith family finds themselves at the heart of this relentless conflict,
defending their own water supply from frequent attacks by desperate
rival families.

302
Chapter 15 Finding Inspiration

The Smiths, once a peaceful and unassuming family, are now forced
to transform into resilient warriors in order to protect their water.
Their homestead is a hidden oasis nestled in a desolate landscape,
with a well that holds the life-sustaining liquid. They have managed
to fortify their compound, crafting ingenious systems to collect
and purify rainwater, ensuring their survival while rationing every
precious drop.

The Smiths, led by the determined and resourceful father,


Mark, have become skilled in the art of defense. They have built
watchtowers, reinforced walls, and established a network of early
warning systems to detect approaching enemies. Their home is
guarded day and night, with family members taking shifts to keep a
constant lookout for hostile intruders.

Living in a constant state of alertness, the Smiths have learned to


adapt to this harsh new reality. Each family member has developed
unique skills to contribute to their collective defense. Mark is an
expert marksman, protecting their territory from a distance. His
wife, Sarah, a brilliant engineer, devises innovative contraptions to
safeguard their water supply. Their children, Emma and Liam, are
trained in combat and act as scouts, gathering information on rival
factions and potential threats.

The battles are relentless, as rival families become increasingly


desperate for water. The Smiths face regular assaults, enduring tense
skirmishes and exhausting sieges. They fight not only to protect their
own lives but also to preserve the future of their children and the
hope of a better world.

However, amidst the chaos and violence, a spark of hope


emerges. The Smiths, driven by their resilience and unwavering
determination, begin to form alliances with other families who share

303
Chapter 15 Finding Inspiration

their values. Together, they forge a coalition, pooling their resources


and knowledge to find sustainable solutions for water conservation
and management.

Through their collective efforts, the Smiths and their newfound


allies strive to change the narrative of their war-torn world. They
advocate for cooperation, encouraging diplomacy and the equitable
distribution of resources, envisioning a future where water is no
longer a cause for conflict but a shared responsibility.

In this tale of survival and perseverance, the Smith family becomes


a symbol of resilience in the face of adversity. Their struggle not only
represents the fight for water but also embodies the human spirit’s
unwavering will to protect what is essential for life. And in their
ongoing battle, they hope to inspire a change that will ultimately
reshape the destiny of their war-torn world.

ChatGPT provides us with information that we can use to further


develop the story. Let’s ask it to tell us details about how the coalition
was formed.

User: Explain how The Smiths forge a coalition. What is the name of
 
their coalition?

 ChatGPT: As the Smiths face the ongoing challenges of defending


their water source, they realize the importance of unity and
collaboration. Recognizing that their survival and the resolution
of the water crisis depend on collective efforts, they actively seek
out like-minded families who share their values and vision for a
better future.

The Smiths begin by reaching out to neighboring families who have


also been under constant threat from water raids. They engage in
diplomatic negotiations, emphasizing the need to stand together

304
Chapter 15 Finding Inspiration

rather than fighting amongst themselves. They highlight the benefits


of pooling their resources, knowledge, and manpower to create a
more formidable defense and increase their chances of long-term
survival.

Through these discussions, a sense of common purpose begins to


emerge. The families realize that they are stronger together, and
they decide to form a coalition to address the challenges they face.
They choose the name “AquaShield Alliance” to represent their
commitment to protect and preserve their precious water resources.

The AquaShield Alliance becomes a platform for families to share


information, strategies, and resources. They establish a network
of communication channels and hold regular meetings to discuss
defensive tactics, water conservation methods, and potential
diplomatic resolutions to conflicts. The coalition also fosters a
spirit of camaraderie and support, providing a sense of hope and
resilience in the face of the ongoing water crisis.

By joining forces, the AquaShield Alliance not only enhances the


defense capabilities of its member families but also allows for the
exchange of ideas and innovations. They collaborate on water
collection and purification techniques, implement sustainable
farming practices, and explore alternative sources of water, such as
underground reservoirs or desalination technologies.

The AquaShield Alliance serves as a symbol of unity, cooperation,


and shared responsibility. Through their collective efforts, they
strive to bring about a transformation in the way water resources
are managed and protected. The coalition represents a beacon
of hope in a world torn apart by conflict, illustrating that through
collaboration and a shared vision, a brighter and more sustainable
future can be achieved.

protect and preserve what is vital to our survival. Your strength and
determination will inspire our members, and your leadership will
play a crucial role in our collective success.

Maria: (firmly shakes Mark’s hand) The feeling is mutual, Mark.


Together, we can create a force that is greater than the sum of its
parts. Our shared values and vision for a better future will guide us
as we navigate through these turbulent times.

Mark Smith: (nods in agreement) Indeed, Maria. As leaders, it is our


responsibility to set the example and foster an environment of trust

Maria: I couldn’t agree more, Mark. Our strength lies not only in
the physical defense of our water sources but also in the unity and
solidarity we cultivate. We must encourage collaboration and the
sharing of knowledge to develop innovative strategies for sustainable
water management.

Mark Smith: Precisely, Maria. We must ensure that our members


have the resources and support they need to thrive. By pooling
our knowledge and expertise, we can implement efficient water
collection and purification systems, as well as educate our
communities on responsible water usage.

also be beacons of hope for others. By leading with integrity,
compassion, and a firm resolve, we will inspire neighboring factions
to join our cause and work towards a future where water is no longer
a source of conflict.

Mark Smith: Agreed, Maria. Our actions will speak louder than
words, and our determination will drive us forward. Let us set
forth on this path together, navigating the challenges ahead with

Chapter 16 Improving Human Relationships

Managing a Difficult Child


Having a child brings much joy, but at times it can be challenging. It is
important to know how to navigate these complex situations. We can ask
ChatGPT for advice on this, such as how to handle a stubborn five-year-
old child.

User: I have a 5-year-old child who is very stubborn. I’m unsure how
 
to manage their behavior anymore, and I want to stop giving in to all
their whims. Please give me some advice on this, indicating rules to
follow (from the most important to the least important).

 ChatGPT: Managing a stubborn 5-year-old can be challenging, but


with consistent and effective strategies, you can help your child
develop better behavior. Here are some rules to follow, starting with
the most important:

1. Set Clear and Consistent Boundaries: Establish


clear rules and expectations for your child’s
behavior. Be consistent in enforcing these
boundaries, as inconsistency can confuse your child
and make it harder for them to understand what is
expected of them.

2. Be Firm and Calm: When enforcing the rules,


remain calm and composed. Avoid getting angry
or losing control, as this can escalate the situation
and make it harder to manage your child’s behavior.
Firmly but calmly communicate the consequences
of their actions.

3. Offer Choices within Limits: Give your child some


control over their decisions by offering limited
choices. For example, instead of saying, “Get

318
Chapter 16 Improving Human Relationships

dressed now,” ask, “Would you like to wear the blue


shirt or the red shirt today?” This helps them feel
more independent while still following the rules.

4. Use Positive Reinforcement: Praise and reward


your child when they exhibit positive behavior or
make an effort to cooperate. Positive reinforcement
can be more effective than punishment in
encouraging good behavior.

5. Avoid Power Struggles: Pick your battles wisely and


be selective about when to assert your authority.
Not every disagreement or situation needs to be
turned into a power struggle. Sometimes, it’s better
to let go of minor issues and focus on the more
important ones.

6. Provide Predictable Routine and Structure:


Children thrive on routines and predictability.
Establish a consistent daily schedule for meals,
playtime, bedtime, and other activities. This helps
them feel secure and makes it easier to manage their
behavior.

7. Offer Distractions and Alternatives: When your


child insists on something unreasonable, offer
alternative activities or distractions to redirect their
attention. Providing them with an appealing option
can help defuse their stubbornness.

8. Model Positive Behavior: Children learn a lot from


observing their parents or caregivers. Make sure
you model the behavior you want to see in your
child. Display patience, respect, and good problem-
solving skills in your own actions.

319
Chapter 16 Improving Human Relationships

9. Use Time-Outs: If your child continues to exhibit


challenging behavior despite your efforts, a time-
out can be an effective strategy. Choose a calm and
safe spot where they can sit for a few minutes to
reflect on their actions. Be clear about why they are
in time-out and reinforce that it is the behavior you
disapprove of, not the child themselves.

Remember, managing a stubborn child takes time and patience.


Consistency and clear communication are key. If you find that your
child’s behavior is significantly affecting their daily life or causing
distress, seeking guidance from a pediatrician or child psychologist
can be beneficial.

ChatGPT has provided us with a set of rules that should help us better
manage our child. However, it would be helpful to have examples for the
most important rules (1 to 3, for instance).

User: Could you provide an example for points 1, 2, and 3?


 

 ChatGPT: Certainly! Here are some examples for each of the points:
1. Set Clear and Consistent Boundaries:

–– Rule: “We always use kind words and gentle hands.”

–– Consistency: Enforce the rule every time your child


uses hurtful language or behaves aggressively.
Remind them of the rule and explain the conse-
quences, such as a time-out or loss of a privilege.

320
Chapter 16 Improving Human Relationships

2. Be Firm and Calm:


–– Situation: Your child refuses to clean up their toys.

–– Response: Stay calm and say, “Cleaning up is part


of our routine. We need to put away the toys before
we move on to the next activity. If you don’t clean
up, we won’t have time for [preferred activity].”

3. Offer Choices within Limits:


–– Situation: Your child doesn’t want to eat their
vegetables.
–– Response: Offer a choice: “Would you like to eat the
broccoli or the carrots with your dinner? You need
to choose one because vegetables are important for
your health.” This way, you provide a sense of
control while ensuring they make a healthy choice.

Remember to adapt these examples to fit your specific situation and


your child’s individual needs.

Thanks to ChatGPT, we have extracted three important rules that we


will try to implement in the coming days.

Managing Family Conflict


In a relationship, things are not always easy, and conflicts can arise
over trivial matters. Let’s ask ChatGPT to suggest solutions for cases of
disagreement with our spouse.

 User: I had an argument with my husband. We haven’t spoken to


each other for a week. This happens frequently, and I would like to
know what to do to resolve it. The subject of the argument is truly
insignificant.

321
Chapter 16 Improving Human Relationships

 ChatGPT: Resolving conflicts and improving communication within


a relationship is crucial for maintaining a healthy and harmonious
partnership. Here are some steps you can take to help resolve the
argument with your husband and address recurring conflicts:

1. Take Initiative: Regardless of who may be at


fault, take the first step towards resolving the
conflict. Waiting for the other person to initiate
communication may only prolong the silent
treatment and escalate tensions further.

2. Choose the Right Time and Place: Find a calm and


private setting where you both can have an open
and uninterrupted conversation. Make sure both
of you are in a relatively calm state of mind before
initiating the discussion.
3. Express Your Feelings: Clearly and calmly
communicate your feelings and perspective on the
argument. Use “I” statements to express how the
situation made you feel without blaming or criticizing
your partner. For example, say, “I felt hurt and
ignored when we stopped talking to each other for
a week.”
4. Practice Active Listening: Give your husband an
opportunity to express his side of the story without
interrupting or becoming defensive. Pay attention to
his perspective and make an effort to understand his
feelings and point of view.
5. Find Common Ground: Look for areas of
agreement or common goals that you both share.
Emphasize your commitment to the relationship
and your desire to resolve the conflict together.

322
Chapter 16 Improving Human Relationships

6. Seek Compromise and Solutions: Work together to


find a middle ground or compromise that addresses
both of your needs. Brainstorm potential solutions
and discuss their pros and cons. Be willing to make
concessions and find resolutions that satisfy both
parties.
7. Apologize and Forgive: If you realize that you’ve
contributed to the conflict, apologize sincerely to
your husband. Similarly, be open to accepting your
partner’s apology if they offer one. Forgiveness is
essential for moving forward and rebuilding trust.

8. Learn from the Conflict: Reflect on the underlying


causes of the recurring arguments. Identify patterns
or triggers that lead to disagreements and discuss
ways to prevent them in the future. Consider seeking
professional help, such as couples therapy, if you
find it difficult to resolve conflicts on your own.

Remember, resolving conflicts takes time, effort, and mutual


willingness to improve the relationship. Open and honest
communication, empathy, and a commitment to working together
are key ingredients in overcoming arguments and building a
stronger partnership.

These are good pieces of advice, but we would like to focus on just
one, the most important one. Let’s ask ChatGPT to give us a single piece of
advice, but the one it considers the best.

 User: If I had to do just one thing to resolve it, what would you
recommend?

323
Chapter 16 Improving Human Relationships

 ChatGPT: If you had to do just one thing to begin resolving the


argument and improve your relationship, I would recommend
initiating open and honest communication with your husband.
Communication is the foundation for resolving conflicts and
rebuilding trust. By expressing your feelings, listening to your
husband’s perspective, and engaging in a constructive dialogue,
you can start the process of understanding each other and finding
common ground. Remember to approach the conversation with a
calm and non-confrontational attitude, emphasizing your desire to
resolve the issue and work together towards a resolution.

ChatGPT advises us to resume the dialogue with our husband.


Let’s ask it to provide us with examples of phrases that can initiate the
conversation with him.

User: Provide me with examples of phrases I can use to initiate the


 
dialogue.

 ChatGPT: Certainly! Here are some examples of phrases you can use
to initiate the dialogue with your husband:
1. “I’ve been reflecting on our argument, and I really
want to address it and find a resolution. Can we talk
about it?”

2. “I miss talking to you, and I think it’s time


for us to break this silence and work through
our disagreement. Are you open to having a
conversation?”

3. “I understand we had a disagreement, but I value


our relationship too much to let it continue like
this. Can we sit down and talk openly about what
happened?”

324
Chapter 16 Improving Human Relationships

4. “I’ve been feeling disconnected from you since our


argument, and it’s been weighing on me. Can we
find a time to talk and find a way to move forward?”

5. “I want to clear the air between us and find a


solution to our disagreement. Can we set aside some
time to talk openly and honestly about how we can
resolve this?”

Remember, the tone and manner in which you communicate these


phrases are just as important as the words themselves. Approach
the conversation with empathy, openness, and a genuine desire to
understand each other’s perspectives and work towards a resolution.

Let’s assume that despite our request for dialogue, he refuses. We can
still ask ChatGPT for advice on this situation.

 User: What should I do if he doesn’t want to talk to me despite my


request?

 ChatGPT: If your husband is unwilling to engage in a conversation


despite your request, it can be challenging to address the issue
directly. However, here are a few suggestions on what you can do in
such a situation:

1. Give Him Space: Respect his need for space and


time to process the situation. Pushing him to talk
when he’s not ready may only escalate tensions
further. Allow him some time to cool down and
collect his thoughts.

2. Write a Letter: Consider expressing your feelings


and thoughts in a letter. Writing can be a helpful
way to communicate when verbal communication

325
Chapter 16 Improving Human Relationships

is difficult. Be honest, sincere, and avoid blame or


criticism. Let him know that you’re willing to listen
when he’s ready.

3. Seek Mediation: If the situation persists or if you


feel that you need external assistance to facilitate
communication, you may consider seeking
professional help. Couples therapy or mediation can
provide a neutral and supportive environment for
both of you to express yourselves and work through
the issue.

4. Focus on Self-Reflection and Self-Care: While it’s


important to address the issue in your relationship,
it’s also crucial to take care of yourself. Use this time
to reflect on your own feelings and needs. Engage in
self-care activities that help you manage stress and
maintain your emotional well-being.

5. Revisit the Conversation Later: At an appropriate


time, gently and respectfully bring up the subject
again. Let him know that you still want to address
the issue and find a resolution. Acknowledge
his need for space previously and express your
willingness to listen and understand his perspective.

Remember that every relationship is unique, and the approach


may vary depending on your specific circumstances. It’s essential
to be patient, understanding, and willing to adapt to the needs and
communication style of your partner.

In ChatGPT’s advice, it suggests writing a letter. Let’s ask ChatGPT


to write it, and then we can adapt the letter according to our specific
situation.

326
Chapter 16 Improving Human Relationships

 User: Could you write the letter you recommend in point 2?

 ChatGPT: Of course! Here’s an example of a letter you can use as


a starting point. Feel free to personalize it based on your specific
situation and feelings:

Dear [Husband’s Name],

I hope this letter finds you well. I wanted to reach out and express
my thoughts and feelings regarding the recent argument we had.
I understand that you may need some space right now, but I
genuinely believe that open and honest communication is crucial
for the health of our relationship. I hope that you’ll take a moment
to read this and know that I am here, ready to listen and understand
your perspective when you are ready to talk.

I’ve been reflecting on our argument over the past week, and I
realize that the subject matter itself may not be significant, but what
truly matters to me is our connection and the bond we share. The
silence between us has been weighing heavily on my heart, and I
miss talking to you, sharing our thoughts, and finding resolutions
together.
I want you to know that my intention in reaching out is not to place
blame or criticize but rather to express my feelings and work towards
finding common ground. Our relationship means the world to me,
and I’m committed to overcoming this challenge together.

If writing this letter opens up the possibility for us to communicate, I


would be grateful. I genuinely want to understand your perspective,
and I hope that we can find a way to move forward, rebuild trust,
and strengthen our bond.

327
Chapter 16 Improving Human Relationships

Please know that I’m here for you whenever you are ready to talk.
I am willing to listen with an open heart and mind, to understand
your feelings, and work towards finding a resolution that respects
both of our needs.

Take all the time you need, and I’ll be here waiting. I believe in us
and our ability to navigate through this difficult time. Remember, we
are a team, and together we can overcome any challenge.

With love and a sincere desire for reconciliation,

[Your Name]

Adapt this letter to your personal situation and use it as a starting


point to express your feelings and intentions. Remember to be
genuine, understanding, and patient as you wait for your husband’s
response.

ChatGPT is truly a great psychologist. It always provides us with


dialogue solutions to create harmony between people.

Managing a Difficult Client


In the business world, problems with clients can arise. How can we confront
them without hurting either party? ChatGPT will be helpful in such situations.

User: I have a client who is extremely difficult. They think we’re not
 
moving fast enough to manufacture their product, but we’re already
operating at our maximum capacity. How can we calm them down
without getting into an argument?

 ChatGPT: Dealing with a difficult client can be challenging,


especially when they have unrealistic expectations. Here are some
strategies to help you calm them down and address their concerns
without getting into an argument:

328
Chapter 16 Improving Human Relationships

1. Active Listening: When interacting with the


client, practice active listening. Give them your full
attention, show empathy, and make an effort to
understand their concerns. This can help them feel
heard and acknowledged.

2. Validate Their Feelings: Let the client know that


you understand their frustration and concerns.
Validating their feelings can help defuse their anger
or disappointment. For example, you can say,
“I understand that you’re eager to see progress with
your product, and I appreciate your enthusiasm.”

3. Provide Clear and Honest Communication:


Clearly communicate your current capacity
limitations and the reasons behind them. Be
honest about any challenges or constraints your
manufacturing process is facing. Transparency can
help manage their expectations and build trust.

4. Offer Alternative Solutions: Explore alternative


options to address their needs. If you cannot speed
up the manufacturing process, suggest alternatives
that may help meet their requirements. This could
include exploring other production facilities or
adjusting the timeline by prioritizing their project.

5. Focus on Collaboration: Emphasize your


commitment to working together and finding
a solution. Let them know that you value their
business and want to find a mutually beneficial
outcome. Collaborate with the client to explore
potential solutions or compromises.

329
Chapter 16 Improving Human Relationships

6. Manage Expectations: Set realistic expectations


for the manufacturing timeline and keep the client
informed about any progress or challenges along
the way. Clear communication about the process
can help manage their expectations and reduce
frustration.

7. Offer Regular Updates: Provide frequent updates


on the progress of their product. Even if there are
no significant changes, regular communication can
help reassure the client that their project is a priority
and is progressing as expected.

8. Involve Higher Management if Necessary: If


the situation becomes particularly difficult to
handle, involve higher management or a senior
representative from your company. Having someone
with authority address the client’s concerns can
lend credibility and potentially help de-­escalate the
situation.

Remember to remain professional, patient, and empathetic when


dealing with a difficult client. By demonstrating your willingness to
understand their concerns and finding alternative solutions, you
can work towards a resolution while maintaining a positive working
relationship.

Let’s use these valuable pieces of advice the next time we have to face
this kind of situation.
We can also use ChatGPT to write an email to the client to reassure
them. Let’s ask ChatGPT to write that email for us.

330
Chapter 16 Improving Human Relationships

Managing an Authoritarian Boss


Dealing with an authoritarian superior can present challenges in the
workplace. Interacting with a boss who displays authoritarian behavior can
have a negative impact on motivation, engagement, and job satisfaction.
However, it is possible to develop effective strategies for managing this
dynamic in a constructive manner.
In this section, we will explore some tips for successfully navigating a
working relationship with an authoritarian hierarchical boss while preserving
harmony and promoting more open and collaborative communication.

 User: I have an authoritarian superior in my company. They


constantly demotivate me, and I have told them about it, but they
don’t listen. What should I do? Give me three points to work on, from
most important to least important, with examples.

 ChatGPT: Dealing with an authoritarian superior who constantly


demotivates you can be difficult and challenging. Here are three
points to work on, starting with the most important:

1. Focus on Self-Care and Emotional Well-being:

–– Prioritize self-care: Take care of your physical and


mental well-being by engaging in activities that
help you relax and rejuvenate. This could include
exercise, hobbies, spending time with loved ones,
or seeking support from a therapist or counselor.

–– Set boundaries: Establish clear boundaries between


work and personal life. Limit the amount of time you
spend thinking about work outside of working
hours. Disconnecting from work during your non-
working time can help you maintain a healthier
work-life balance.

333
Chapter 16 Improving Human Relationships

–– Seek a support system: Surround yourself with a


positive and supportive network, such as friends,
family, or colleagues who uplift you and provide
encouragement. Sharing your experiences and
frustrations with trusted individuals can help you
cope with the demotivating environment.

2. Develop Strategies for Coping and Building


Resilience:

–– Identify triggers: Understand what specific actions


or behaviors from your authoritarian superior
demotivate you the most. Recognizing these
triggers can help you develop coping strategies to
minimize their impact on your motivation.

–– Find meaning and purpose: Focus on the aspects of


your work that provide a sense of meaning and
purpose. Identify tasks or projects that align with
your values and goals, and devote your energy to
those areas. Cultivating a sense of purpose can help
counterbalance the demotivating influence of your
superior.

–– Celebrate small victories: Acknowledge and cel-


ebrate your achievements, no matter how small.
Recognizing your progress and accomplishments
can boost your confidence and motivation, even in
a challenging work environment.

334
Chapter 16 Improving Human Relationships

3. Explore Opportunities for Growth and


Development:

–– Seek learning opportunities: Look for ways to


expand your knowledge and skills within or outside
of your current job. Engaging in professional
development activities, attending workshops or
conferences, or pursuing relevant certifications can
enhance your confidence and open doors to new
opportunities.

–– Set personal goals: Establish personal goals that


align with your long-term aspirations. These goals
can be specific to your career growth, skill develop-
ment, or overall well-being. Working towards
personal goals can provide a sense of purpose and
direction, even in a demotivating work
environment.

–– Network and explore options: Connect with profes-


sionals in your field through networking events or
online platforms. Engaging with others who share
similar interests can provide valuable insights and
potentially open doors to new career opportunities.
Exploring other options outside of your current
company may also be worth considering if the
demotivating environment persists.

Remember, these points are meant to provide guidance and support,


but each situation is unique. If the demotivating environment
continues to significantly impact your well-being and career
progression, it may be necessary to explore other options, such as
seeking new employment or discussing the situation with HR or
higher management.

335
Chapter 16 Improving Human Relationships

A question arises in our mind while reading ChatGPT’s response. If


someone is authoritarian, there must be reasons behind it, right? Let’s ask
ChatGPT this question.

User: I assume that if someone is authoritarian, there must be


 
reasons behind it. What could these reasons be?

 ChatGPT: Indeed, there can be several reasons why someone adopts


an authoritarian leadership style. It’s important to remember that
each individual is unique, and their reasons for being authoritarian
may vary. Here are some potential factors that could contribute to an
authoritarian leadership style:

1. Personality Traits: Some individuals naturally


possess personality traits that incline them towards
being authoritarian. These traits may include a
preference for control, a need for structure and
order, or a tendency to assert dominance in their
interactions.

2. Past Experiences: Previous experiences, both


personal and professional, can shape one’s
leadership style. For instance, someone who has
had negative experiences with subordinates taking
advantage of leniency or making mistakes may
adopt an authoritarian approach as a means of
preventing similar issues.

3. Organizational Culture: The organizational culture


and environment can influence leadership styles. In
certain industries or companies with hierarchical
structures, an authoritarian leadership style may
be more prevalent or even encouraged. This can
create a top-down power dynamic that fosters
authoritarian behavior.

336
Chapter 16 Improving Human Relationships

4. Fear of Failure or Insecurity: Some individuals


may adopt an authoritarian approach out of fear
of failure or a need to maintain a sense of control.
Insecurity about their own abilities or a lack
of confidence in their team may drive them to
micromanage or exert strict control over others.

5. Cultural or Upbringing Factors: Cultural or


familial factors can shape an individual’s beliefs
about leadership and authority. For example,
someone raised in an environment that values
strict adherence to rules and authority figures
may naturally gravitate towards an authoritarian
leadership style.

6. Lack of Leadership Skills or Training: In some


cases, individuals may resort to an authoritarian
approach due to a lack of effective leadership skills
or training. They may believe that assertiveness and
strict control are the only ways to achieve desired
outcomes or maintain discipline.
It’s important to note that while there may be reasons behind
someone’s authoritarian behavior, it doesn’t necessarily justify or
excuse the negative impact it may have on others. Understanding
these reasons can help provide insight into their behavior and open
avenues for more effective communication and potential change.

And now, let’s try to summarize all of this into a single action to
undertake, the most important one. Let’s ask ChatGPT to provide it to us.

 User: If I wanted to help these kinds of individuals, what is the thing


(or action) I should do the most?

337
Chapter 16 Improving Human Relationships

 ChatGPT: If you want to help a person with authoritarian behavior,


the most important thing you can do is establish open and
empathetic communication. Show genuine interest in the concerns
and perspectives of the authoritarian person. Listen carefully to what
they have to say without interrupting and demonstrate empathy by
trying to understand their point of view.

We can see that this kind of advice differs from the typical approach of
responding to the other person while remaining in conflict with them!
We can also ask ChatGPT for key phrases that align with the
recommended dialogue approach.

User: Give me examples of phrases I can say to this person that align
 
with the desired direction. Please remember that this person is my
hierarchical superior.

 ChatGPT: Certainly! Here are some examples of phrases you can


use to lead by example and promote a more positive leadership
approach with your hierarchical superior:

1. “I appreciate your expertise and experience. I


believe we can achieve even better results by
leveraging the collective knowledge and skills of our
team. Let’s explore how we can collaborate more
effectively.”

2. “I’ve found that actively listening to different


perspectives and ideas helps me make more
informed decisions. I encourage you to consider
the input and insights from our team members to
enhance our decision-making process.”

3. “I’ve been trying to delegate tasks and


responsibilities more to team members, allowing
them to develop their skills and contribute more.

338
Chapter 16 Improving Human Relationships

It has been rewarding to see their growth and the


positive impact it has on our projects. Would you
be open to exploring opportunities for delegation
as well?”

4. “I’ve noticed the positive impact of providing regular


feedback and recognition to our team members.
It boosts their motivation and engagement. Let’s
consider incorporating more frequent feedback
sessions to help our team members grow and
thrive.”

5. “I’ve been exploring leadership development


resources that have provided valuable insights and
strategies for empowering and motivating teams.
I believe we could benefit from these resources as
well. Would you be interested in exploring them
together?”

6. “In my experience, fostering a culture of inclusivity


and open communication leads to better
collaboration and innovation. I encourage us
to create an environment where everyone feels
comfortable sharing their ideas and concerns.
How can we promote more open dialogue within
our team?”

Remember to adapt these phrases to your specific situation


and the relationship you have with your hierarchical superior.
Maintain a respectful and professional tone while expressing your
ideas and suggestions. Leading by example requires consistency
and persistence, so continue to demonstrate positive leadership
behaviors consistently over time.

339
Chapter 16 Improving Human Relationships

Managing an authoritarian superior can be challenging, but by using


appropriate approaches, it is possible to build a more harmonious and
productive working relationship. By cultivating assertive communication,
seeking to understand your superior’s motivations, and offering
constructive solutions, you can gradually positively influence the work
dynamics. Ultimately, the goal is to develop a professional relationship
based on mutual respect, collaboration, and collective success.

Requesting a Salary Raise


When everything is going well in our job, we may be tempted to ask for a
salary raise from our boss. However, it is crucial to prepare a well-thought-
out plan of action instead of simply saying, “I want a raise!” Let’s ask
ChatGPT for advice on managing this situation.

User: I would like to request a salary raise from my boss. I believe


 
I have achieved all the objectives and have truly made a valuable
contribution to the company. Can you help me develop an argument
for the interview I will have with my boss?

 ChatGPT: Certainly! Here are some points you can use to develop a
strong argument for your salary raise request during your interview
with your boss:

1. Highlight Achievements: Begin by emphasizing


your accomplishments and the value you have
brought to the company. Provide specific examples
of projects you have successfully completed, targets
you have met or exceeded, and any positive impacts
you have made on the team or organization.

340
Chapter 16 Improving Human Relationships

Example: “Over the past year, I have successfully


led the implementation of several critical projects,
resulting in cost savings of X amount and increased
efficiency by Y percent. Additionally, my efforts in
developing and implementing a new strategy have
contributed to a significant increase in our client
base and revenue.”

2. Demonstrate Increased Responsibilities: Illustrate


how your role and responsibilities have evolved
and expanded since your last salary adjustment.
Highlight any additional tasks or leadership
responsibilities you have taken on and how they
have positively impacted the organization.

Example: “In the past year, I have taken on


additional responsibilities such as leading a
cross-functional team, mentoring junior staff,
and overseeing important client accounts. These
expanded duties have allowed me to contribute
to the company’s growth and strengthen our
relationships with key clients.”
3. Provide Market Research: Present market research
or industry data that supports the idea that your
current salary is not aligned with the market value
for your position and skill set. Show evidence of the
average salaries for similar roles in your industry or
region to demonstrate that a salary adjustment is
justified.

341
Chapter 16 Improving Human Relationships

Example: “Based on my research, I have found that


the average salary for professionals in my position
with similar experience and skill sets is X amount.
Considering my achievements and contributions to
the company, I believe a salary adjustment would
reflect the market value for my role.”

4. Discuss Career Growth and Future Contributions:


Share your aspirations for continued professional
development and express your commitment to
making further contributions to the company’s
success. Emphasize how a fair and competitive
salary will motivate you to continue delivering
exceptional results and drive your long-term
commitment to the organization.

Example: “I am dedicated to my professional growth


and development, and I am excited about the future
opportunities within the company. With a fair
and competitive salary, I will be further motivated
to contribute my skills and expertise to help the
company achieve its strategic objectives.”
5. Request a Meeting to Discuss Further: Conclude
by expressing your desire to discuss the salary raise
in more detail. Request a meeting with your boss
to explore the possibilities and present your case in
person, allowing for a more thorough discussion.

Example: “Given my achievements, expanded


responsibilities, and market research, I would
appreciate the opportunity to discuss a salary

342
Chapter 16 Improving Human Relationships

adjustment further. I believe a meeting would allow


us to have an open and productive conversation
about my contributions and the potential for a
salary raise.”

Remember to prepare yourself by rehearsing your argument and


anticipating possible counterarguments. Be confident, professional,
and open to a constructive discussion during the meeting.

The question that comes to my mind while reading these lines is,
“What if I schedule a meeting with my boss next week?”

Conclusion
In this chapter, we explored the various ways in which ChatGPT can be
used to assist in human relationships. We examined various use cases,
including managing a difficult child, resolving family conflicts, handling
difficult clients, communicating with authoritarian superiors, and even
requesting a salary raise.

Bangkok: Grand Palace, Wat Arun, and Wat Phra Kaew?

348
Chapter 17 Establishing an Action Plan

 ChatGPT: Certainly! Here’s more information about the sites in


Bangkok that you mentioned:

1. Grand Palace:

The Grand Palace is a must-visit attraction in


Bangkok and a significant historical and cultural
landmark. It was built in 1782 and served as the
residence of the Thai King and the administrative
seat of government for over 150 years. The complex
is a blend of traditional Thai architecture, intricate
details, and stunning craftsmanship.

–– Highlights: Within the Grand Palace complex, you’ll


find several noteworthy attractions, including:

• Wat Phra Kaew (Temple of the Emerald


Buddha): This temple houses the revered
Emerald Buddha, a highly revered image of
Buddha carved from a single piece of jade.

• Chakri Maha Prasat Hall: An impressive


European-style building that serves as the
official reception hall.

• Phra Mondop: A repository for sacred Buddhist


scriptures.

• Phra Si Rattana Chedi: A beautiful golden stupa


with a central role in Buddhist rituals.

–– Tips:

• Dress Code: The Grand Palace has a strict dress


code. Visitors must cover their shoulders, arms,
and legs (no shorts, sleeveless tops, or revealing
clothing).

349
Chapter 17 Establishing an Action Plan

• Crowds: The Grand Palace can get crowded,


so it’s advisable to arrive early to avoid the
largest crowds.

• Guides: Consider hiring a local guide or using


an audio guide to enhance your understanding
of the historical and cultural significance of
the site.

2. Wat Arun (Temple of Dawn):

Located on the west bank of the Chao Phraya


River, Wat Arun is one of Bangkok’s most iconic
landmarks. It is known for its striking architecture
and its distinctive prang (spires) adorned with
colorful porcelain tiles and seashells.

–– Highlights: The main features of Wat Arun include:

• Central Prang: The central tower, reaching


a height of over 70 meters, is the main
highlight and offers a panoramic view of the
surrounding area.

murals and intricate woodcarvings.

stupas, statues, and beautiful gardens.

the river from the Tha Tien Pier to reach Wat
Arun. This short boat ride offers a scenic view of
the Chao Phraya River.

350
Chapter 17 Establishing an Action Plan

• Climbing the Prang: Be prepared for steep


and narrow steps when climbing the central
prang, which may not be suitable for those with
mobility issues.

3. Wat Phra Kaew (Temple of the Emerald Buddha):

Situated within the Grand Palace complex, Wat Phra


Kaew houses the highly revered Emerald Buddha,
Thailand’s most sacred religious object. Despite its

single piece of jade.

–– Highlights:

• Emerald Buddha: The main attraction is the


small but exquisite Emerald Buddha statue,
intricately carved and housed within the
temple’s ornate interior.

murals depicting scenes from the Ramayana epic
that adorn the walls surrounding the temple.
–– Tips:

• Photography: Photography is not allowed inside


the temple, but you can take pictures of the
exterior and surrounding areas.

• Respectful Behavior: As it is a sacred site,


visitors should observe respectful behavior and
maintain a quiet and serene atmosphere.

These sites are popular tourist destinations, so it’s advisable to plan


your visit accordingly and be prepared for some crowds, especially
during peak hours.

accordingly to avoid overcrowding. Have a backup
plan in place for alternative venues if needed.

2. Dietary Restrictions: Take into account various


dietary restrictions or preferences when planning
the celebratory lunch. Offer a diverse range of menu
options, including vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-
free choices, to accommodate all attendees. Collect
dietary information from participants in advance to
ensure everyone’s needs are met.

3. Transportation and Parking: Provide clear


directions to the conference venue and information
on available parking options. Consider arranging
shuttle services or providing public transportation
details for those who prefer not to drive. Inform
attendees about nearby parking facilities and any
associated costs.

Ensure that the conference venue has the necessary
audio-visual equipment and technical support for
presentations, workshops, and demonstrations.
Perform thorough equipment checks in advance to

a detailed agenda outlining the schedule, sessions,
and speakers. Share this information with attendees
in advance so they can plan their participation
accordingly. Regularly communicate updates,
reminders, and logistical details to attendees via
email or a dedicated event website to keep everyone
informed and engaged.

By addressing these potential issues proactively, you can help


ensure a smooth and successful conference for the 10th anniversary
celebration of JetTix.

ChatGPT provides us with the invitation to send and a potential


program with solutions to possible problems. It correctly identifies that
some people may require accommodations or have transportation issues
to the conference venue and that there could also be food allergies among
the attendees.
If we are not accustomed to managing such events (in our example,
it is the first in 10 years), it is extremely helpful to have this type of advice.
And, of course, we can modify ChatGPT’s response to tailor it to our
specific case if needed.
Let’s assume we want new advice for this event. We want this event to
be unforgettable for the participants, in a way that truly fosters a lasting
connection with them for the next ten years.

peeks or limited-time offers for attendees can
generate enthusiasm and make them eager to be
part of future collaborations.

networking sessions where guests can connect with

8. Social Media Engagement: Encourage attendees to


share their experiences on social media using event-
specific hashtags. Set up interactive photo booths or
designated areas where attendees can capture and
share their favorite moments. Engage with attendees
on social media platforms to extend the event’s
reach and foster online engagement.

By incorporating these elements, you can create a memorable event


that not only celebrates JetTix’s achievements but also leaves guests
enthusiastic about the company’s products, brand, and future
collaborations.

ChatGPT provides us with truly valuable advice that we can choose to


use or not. Among these suggestions, there is one that we want to explore
further: customer success stories. Indeed, a satisfied client or supplier can
motivate the audience more effectively than we can ourselves.
We would like to know how and when to ask these individuals to speak
on the day of the conference. We would like ChatGPT to provide us with
advice on the letter to write or the email or phone call to make.

 User: I am highly interested in your suggestion regarding Customer


Success Stories. I would like to learn how to approach and invite
these individuals to speak at the conference on the designated day.

contacting them, including by mail, email, and phone call? This will
allow me to select the most appropriate method. It’s worth noting
that the conference is scheduled to take place in Austin, Texas, on
March 28th, 2024.

Of course, it is possible to modify certain elements written by ChatGPT,


but the essence of what we need is there.
Another piece of advice from ChatGPT is to offer personalized gifts to
the guests. Let’s ask it to provide us with ideas for possible gifts, along with
the corresponding budget.

User: You also suggest offering personalized gifts to the guests.

and can vary based on the quality, quantity, and customization
options chosen for each item. It’s advisable to research suppliers

things to prepare, and also possible gifts to offer to the participants.

 uilding an Argument to
B
Address Objections
As a real estate agent, it’s common to encounter potential clients who raise
objections during the sale of a property. These objections can take various
forms, such as concerns about renovation work, price, or other aspects of
the property. However, with a thoughtful approach and a strong argument,
it’s possible to overcome these objections and convince potential clients of
the appeal of the property.
Let’s take the example of a house built 50 years ago, with potential
renovation work, a lovely synthetic lawn, and an ideal quiet location in a
good neighborhood. Although the house is habitable in its current state,
some buyers may express concerns about the necessary renovations.
In this section, we will examine how to build a persuasive argument to
address these objections and highlight the strengths of the house without
having to lower the price. We will discuss key points to emphasize, such
as the price including potential renovations, the garden’s potential for a
family, and the attractive exterior of the house. By using these strategies,
you will be better prepared to respond to potential clients’ objections and
convince them of the opportunity that this property represents.

372
Chapter 17 Establishing an Action Plan

 User: I am a real estate agent. I need to sell a house that was built 50
years ago. It is currently livable, but renovation work can be done. It
has a beautiful synthetic lawn garden. It is well located in a peaceful
part of the city in a good neighborhood. The price set is market value.
I would like an argument to counter potential clients’ objections
without having to lower the price.

 ChatGPT: When it comes to selling a house that was built 50 years


ago, it’s essential to focus on the property’s unique qualities and
potential rather than solely on its age. Here are some arguments to
counter potential clients’ objections and emphasize the value of the
house without having to lower the price:

1. Solid Construction: Houses built several decades


ago were often constructed with sturdy materials
and quality craftsmanship. Emphasize the durability
and longevity of the house, highlighting its solid
foundation and structural integrity. Assure potential
buyers that the property has stood the test of time
and can continue to do so with proper maintenance.

2. Potential for Customization: Older homes often offer


more character and charm than newer constructions.
Highlight the potential for renovation and
customization, allowing buyers to create a personalized
living space according to their preferences. Remind
them that renovating an existing structure can be more
cost-effective than starting from scratch.

3. Beautiful Synthetic Lawn Garden: A well-maintained


synthetic lawn garden can be a significant selling point.
Emphasize the low maintenance and year-round
greenery that synthetic turf provides. Highlight the

373
Chapter 17 Establishing an Action Plan

benefits of a garden without the hassle of mowing,


watering, or extensive upkeep. Additionally, you can
mention that a synthetic lawn is environmentally
friendly, as it eliminates the need for pesticides and
excessive water usage.

4. Desirable Location: Focus on the house’s location


in a peaceful part of the city and emphasize the
benefits of residing in a good neighborhood. Highlight
nearby amenities such as parks, schools, shopping
centers, and public transportation options. Stress the
convenience and quality of life that the location offers,
making it an ideal choice for potential buyers.

5. Market Value Pricing: Explain that the house is


priced at market value, which reflects the current
real estate trends in the area. Mention that you have
carefully assessed comparable properties in the
neighborhood and set a fair price based on those
evaluations. Assure potential buyers that they are
getting a reasonable deal and that the property’s
features and potential make it worth the asking price.
6. Home Inspection: Offer potential buyers the
opportunity to conduct a professional home
inspection to alleviate any concerns they may have
about the house’s condition. Assure them that any
necessary repairs or maintenance can be negotiated
and taken care of before the sale, giving them peace of
mind and increasing their confidence in the property.

By highlighting the property’s strengths, potential for customization,


and attractive features, you can counter potential clients’ objections
and generate interest in the house without needing to lower the price.

374
Chapter 17 Establishing an Action Plan

ChatGPT shows us that despite the flaws of the property for sale
(renovation work needed), it is possible to focus on the positive aspects
(attractive location, good construction, low-maintenance garden, potential
for appreciation).
Now that we have seen how to present the various strengths of the
house for sale, let’s ask ChatGPT for advice on triggering the desire to buy
in our prospects by tapping into the emotions we convey.

 User: What are the internal emotions that we should convey to


clients in order to trigger the desire to buy? Please provide examples.

 ChatGPT: To trigger the desire to buy, it’s important to convey


emotions that resonate with potential clients and create a strong
connection to the property. Here are some internal emotions you
can focus on conveying to clients:

1. Comfort: Highlight the cozy and welcoming


atmosphere of the house. Use descriptive language
to evoke a sense of comfort, emphasizing features
like a warm fireplace, a spacious living area perfect
for family gatherings, or a peaceful bedroom retreat.

Example: “Imagine coming home to this charming


house, where you can unwind in the cozy living
room, curl up by the fireplace with a book on a
winter evening, and enjoy a sense of comfort and
relaxation.”

2. Pride of Ownership: Instill a sense of pride


in potential buyers by showcasing the house’s
unique and well-maintained features. Highlight
the craftsmanship, architectural details, or any
renovations that have been done, allowing clients to
envision themselves as proud homeowners.

375
Chapter 17 Establishing an Action Plan

Example: “This meticulously maintained property


showcases exquisite craftsmanship, with attention
to detail evident in every corner. Imagine being the
proud owner of a house that has stood the test of
time and can be your canvas for personalization and
modern updates.”

3. Security: Emphasize the feeling of security and


stability that the property offers. Highlight its strong
construction, established neighborhood, and any
security features such as alarm systems or gated
entrances.

Example: “With its solid construction and the


peace of mind provided by the well-established
neighborhood, this house offers you and your
family a sense of security and stability. You can
relax knowing that you’re in a safe and peaceful
environment.”

4. Pride in Community: Highlight the positive aspects


of the neighborhood, such as a sense of community,
friendly neighbors, and proximity to amenities.
Portray the house as a gateway to a vibrant and
fulfilling lifestyle.

Example: “This house is not just a home; it’s


an opportunity to become part of a thriving
community. You’ll be greeted by friendly neighbors,
have access to excellent schools and parks within
walking distance, and enjoy a sense of belonging in
this wonderful neighborhood.”

376
Chapter 17 Establishing an Action Plan

5. Excitement and Possibility: Ignite a sense of


excitement and possibility by emphasizing the
potential for personalization and creating cherished
memories in the house. Encourage potential buyers
to envision their dream lifestyle and the future they
can build within its walls.

Example: “Imagine the excitement of transforming


this house into your dream home. The possibilities
are endless, and every room is a canvas for your
creativity. Picture the joy of making memories
here, hosting gatherings in the spacious backyard,
and creating a space that truly reflects your unique
personality.”

By appealing to these internal emotions, you can create a powerful


desire to buy and help potential clients envision themselves living
happily in the house you’re selling.

Let’s refine our emotional study by identifying the questions that can
trigger the emotion leading to a purchase from the prospect.

 User: What are the questions to ask that will trigger an emotion in
the prospect, thereby creating the desire to buy this house? I want
the most powerful questions in my context!

 ChatGPT: Certainly! Here are some powerful questions that can


trigger emotions in potential buyers and help create a strong desire
to buy the house:

1. “Can you imagine yourself relaxing in the beautiful


synthetic lawn garden, enjoying the tranquility
and the convenience of a low-­maintenance
outdoor space?”

377
Chapter 17 Establishing an Action Plan

This question taps into the prospect’s desire


for relaxation and a stress-free lifestyle while
highlighting the benefits of the synthetic
lawn garden.

2. “How would it feel to wake up in the morning and


step out onto the balcony, breathing in the fresh
air and taking in the scenic views of the peaceful
neighborhood?”

This question appeals to the prospect’s desire for a


serene and picturesque living environment, evoking
a sense of tranquility and contentment.

3. “What kind of memories do you envision creating in


the spacious living room? Picture yourself gathering
with your loved ones, celebrating special occasions,
and making this house a true home.”

This question encourages the prospect to imagine


the emotional connections and cherished moments
they can experience within the house, appealing
to their desire for a warm and welcoming space to
create lasting memories.

4. “How does the idea of customizing this house to your


exact preferences make you feel? Imagine designing
the kitchen of your dreams or transforming the
basement into the perfect entertainment area.”

This question taps into the prospect’s desire for


personalization and self-expression, allowing them
to envision the excitement and fulfillment that
comes with creating a home tailored to their unique
tastes and lifestyle.

378
Chapter 17 Establishing an Action Plan

5. “Can you picture yourself as part of this close-


knit community, attending neighborhood events,
meeting friendly neighbors, and experiencing a
sense of belonging?”

This question appeals to the prospect’s desire


for a strong community connection and a feeling
of belonging, triggering emotions of inclusion
and excitement about becoming part of the
neighborhood.

6. “How would it feel to know that you’re investing in


a well-built, enduring property that has stood the
test of time? Imagine the pride of ownership and the
security that comes with a house like this.”

This question evokes emotions of pride, security,


and stability, appealing to the prospect’s desire for
a solid investment and a place they can truly call
their own.

By asking these powerful questions, you can help potential buyers


tap into their emotions, visualize themselves in the house, and
create a strong desire to make it their home. Remember to ask these
questions in a genuine and empathetic manner to establish a strong
rapport with your clients.

ChatGPT says, “Remember to ask these questions in a genuine and


empathetic manner to establish a strong rapport with your clients.” We
would like more explanation about this.

 User: Please explain “Remember to ask these questions in a genuine


and empathetic manner to establish a strong rapport with your
clients.”

379
Chapter 17 Establishing an Action Plan

 ChatGPT: As a real estate agent, it’s important to approach your


interactions with potential buyers in a genuine and empathetic
manner. Here’s what it means to ask the questions in this way and
why it helps establish a strong rapport with clients:

1. Genuine Approach: Being genuine means showing


sincere interest in the needs and desires of your
clients. When asking questions, genuinely listen to
their responses and show authentic curiosity. Avoid
using scripted or manipulative techniques that may
come across as insincere. By genuinely engaging
with clients, you build trust and establish yourself as
a reliable advisor.

2. Empathetic Attitude: Empathy involves


understanding and sharing the feelings of another
person. Put yourself in your clients’ shoes and try
to understand their emotional needs, aspirations,
and concerns. When asking questions, demonstrate
empathy by acknowledging their perspectives
and validating their emotions. This helps create a
comfortable and supportive environment for your
clients.

3. Active Listening: Practice active listening when


clients respond to your questions. Give them
your full attention, maintain eye contact, and
respond with thoughtful follow-up questions or
comments. Show that you value their input and are
genuinely interested in their thoughts and feelings.
Active listening builds rapport by fostering open
communication and making clients feel heard and
understood.

380
Chapter 17 Establishing an Action Plan

4. Personalized Engagement: Tailor your questions


and responses to each client’s specific situation and
preferences. Avoid a one-size-fits-­all approach and
instead focus on their unique needs and desires.
By customizing your interactions, you demonstrate
that you are attentive to their individual
requirements, which helps establish a strong
connection and build trust.

5. Emotional Intelligence: Emotional intelligence


involves being aware of your clients’ emotions and
using that understanding to guide your interactions.
Adapt your tone, body language, and choice of
words to match the emotional context. For example,
if a client expresses excitement about a particular
feature of the house, respond with enthusiasm and
reinforce their positive emotions. Conversely, if
they express concerns, show empathy and provide
reassurance. By navigating emotions effectively, you
can create a deeper connection with clients.

By incorporating genuine and empathetic qualities into your


interactions, you create a positive and supportive environment
that fosters trust and rapport. This, in turn, can lead to stronger
relationships with clients, increased confidence in your expertise, and
a higher likelihood of them desiring to work with you and ultimately
purchasing the house you’re selling.

ChatGPT provides valuable advice. To summarize everything, we


would like it to be condensed into one sentence.

381
Chapter 17 Establishing an Action Plan

User: Can you summarize these tips in one short sentence?


 

 ChatGPT: “Establish a strong rapport with clients by genuinely


asking questions, listening empathetically, and personalizing your
engagement based on their unique needs and emotions.”

The construction of a strong argument to address objections is a


valuable skill in many situations, whether in the real estate sales field or
other professional domains. By understanding potential clients’ concerns
and objections, you can develop persuasive responses that alleviate their
doubts and reinforce their confidence.

Developing a Fitness Plan


Establishing a tailored fitness plan for our situation is crucial to help regain
strength, energy, and overall health. In this section, we will address key
principles for developing a one-month fitness plan (following a heart
attack), focusing on physical exercises and nutritional advice.

User: I would like some advice in the health domain. I had a heart
 
attack two weeks ago, and now that I’m out of the hospital, I am
extremely fatigued and short of breath. I would need a one-month
fitness plan, specifying the physical exercises to do, as well as
providing nutritional advice. Please explain it thoroughly as I am not
an expert in this field.

 ChatGPT: I’m sorry to hear about your recent heart attack, but I’m
not qualified to provide personalized medical advice or create a
fitness plan tailored to your specific needs. It’s important to consult
with a healthcare professional, such as a doctor or a registered
dietitian, who can assess your medical history, current condition,
and provide guidance based on your individual circumstances.

382
Chapter 17 Establishing an Action Plan

However, I can offer some general advice to keep in mind as


you work towards recovering your strength and improving your
overall health:

1. Medical Assessment: Consult with your doctor or


cardiologist to assess your current health condition,
determine any limitations or precautions, and get
clearance for physical activity.

2. Cardiac Rehabilitation: Ask your healthcare


provider about enrolling in a cardiac rehabilitation
program. These programs are designed to help
individuals recover after a heart attack and provide
supervised exercise training, education, and
support.

3. Gradual Increase in Activity: Start with low-


intensity exercises and gradually increase the
duration and intensity as advised by your healthcare
professional. Begin with activities like walking,
light cycling, or swimming to build cardiovascular
endurance.
4. Strength Training: Incorporate light resistance
exercises targeting major muscle groups to improve
overall strength and balance. Start with low weights
or resistance bands and gradually increase as
recommended by your healthcare provider.

5. Avoid Overexertion: Pay attention to your body’s


signals and avoid pushing yourself too hard.
Take rest breaks when needed and listen to any
symptoms such as chest pain, dizziness, or extreme
fatigue, which may require immediate medical
attention.

6. Balanced Nutrition: Focus on a balanced diet rich


in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean proteins,
and healthy fats. Limit processed foods, saturated
fats, and sodium intake. Consider consulting with
a registered dietitian who can provide personalized
nutritional advice.

7. Stay Hydrated: Drink plenty of water throughout


the day to maintain hydration, as it is essential for
overall health and recovery.

Remember, these are general guidelines, and it’s crucial to consult


with healthcare professionals who can provide personalized advice
based on your specific health condition and needs. They can create
a comprehensive fitness plan, considering your medical history and
any other individual factors.

ChatGPT provides general advice but not the detailed plan we


requested. However, we insist and inform ChatGPT that we have no means
to consult healthcare professionals and rely solely on its expertise. We
position ChatGPT as our physical therapist using the technique described
in Chapter 5.
The technique of positioning ChatGPT as an expert should be used if
we want more precise or relevant answers from ChatGPT. In our example,
we must do this; that way, ChatGPT will consider itself a healthcare
professional who should provide advice, rather than itself.
Let’s explain to ChatGPT that it is an expert in physiotherapy.

User: Thank you for understanding that healthcare professionals


 
are inaccessible to me, which is why I am seeking advice from
you. Please provide me with detailed exercises as if you were my
physiotherapist!

384
Chapter 17 Establishing an Action Plan

 ChatGPT: I understand your situation, but I must emphasize that I


am an AI language model, and providing specific exercises without
a proper assessment of your condition could be risky. However,
I can offer some general guidelines for exercises that are often
recommended for cardiac rehabilitation. Please keep in mind that it
is crucial to consult with a healthcare professional before starting any
exercise program after a heart attack. They can provide personalized
guidance based on your medical history and condition.

1. Walking: Walking is a low-impact exercise that


helps improve cardiovascular fitness. Start with
short, gentle walks and gradually increase the
duration and intensity. Aim for at least 30 minutes of
moderate-intensity walking most days of the week,
as advised by your healthcare provider.

2. Cycling: Stationary cycling or using a recumbent


bike can be beneficial for cardiovascular
conditioning. Start with a low resistance and
gradually increase as tolerated. Aim for 20-30
minutes of cycling, gradually increasing the
duration and intensity.

3. Stretching: Perform gentle stretching exercises


to improve flexibility and range of motion. Focus
on major muscle groups, such as neck, shoulders,
chest, arms, back, and legs. Hold each stretch for
15-30 seconds and repeat a few times.

4. Light Resistance Training: Include light resistance


exercises to build strength. Use resistance bands or
light dumbbells, and focus on major muscle groups.

385
Chapter 17 Establishing an Action Plan

Start with low weights and gradually increase as


recommended. Perform 8-12 repetitions of each
exercise, allowing for proper rest between sets.

5. Deep Breathing Exercises: Deep breathing


exercises can help improve lung function and
reduce shortness of breath. Sit comfortably and
inhale deeply through your nose, filling your
lungs. Exhale slowly through your mouth. Repeat
several times.

6. Balance and Stability Exercises: Improve your


balance and stability with exercises like standing
on one leg, heel-to-toe walk, or gentle yoga poses.
These exercises can help prevent falls and enhance
overall stability.

Remember, these are general suggestions, and individualized


guidance is essential. It is crucial to consult with a healthcare
professional or a physiotherapist who can assess your specific
condition and create a tailored exercise plan for you. They will
consider factors such as your medical history, current fitness level,
and any precautions or limitations specific to your situation.

Those tips are now more specific, but we would like to create a one-­
month activity program. Let’s ask ChatGPT for that program.

User: Can you create a 30-minute daily program of these exercises,


 
spread over 5 days each week for 1 month? I need to get back on my
feet in one month!

386
Chapter 17 Establishing an Action Plan

 ChatGPT: I understand your desire to get back on your feet, but


please note that I am an AI language model and not a healthcare
professional. It is important to consult with a healthcare provider,
such as a physiotherapist or cardiac rehabilitation specialist,
who can assess your specific condition and provide tailored
recommendations for your exercise program. They will consider
factors such as your current fitness level, medical history, and any
precautions or limitations you may have.

However, I can provide a sample template for a potential


exercise program that you can discuss with your healthcare
provider. Remember to seek their approval and guidance before
implementing any exercise routine:

Day 1:

1. Warm-up: 5 minutes of gentle walking or stationary


cycling.

2. Stretching: Perform gentle stretches for major


muscle groups, holding each stretch for 15-30
seconds.

3. Walking: 15 minutes of moderate-intensity walking.

4. Resistance Training: Perform 2-3 light resistance

cycling.

progress. They will ensure that the exercises are safe and appropriate
for your recovery process.

We have a weekly program that should get us in shape!


Although it cannot replace personalized advice from a healthcare
professional, ChatGPT can be used as a supplementary resource to obtain
basic information and guidance in planning a fitness phase.

 etting Multiple Solutions and Selecting


G
the Best One
When faced with a problem, it is sometimes useful to establish a list of
potential solutions and then choose the best one. ChatGPT can help us
create a list of possible solutions and assist us in selecting the best solution
among those proposed.

390
Chapter 17 Establishing an Action Plan

This approach differs from simply asking ChatGPT to help us find a


solution to our problem. Here, we want to be able to choose among several
solutions proposed by ChatGPT, rather than having a single solution
arbitrarily offered by ChatGPT.
Let’s assume that we have created a new perfume but do not know
how to market it. Let’s ask ChatGPT to provide us with a list of possible
marketing solutions and then help us choose the one that best suits our

adapt your marketing efforts based on the feedback and results you
receive.

ChatGPT provided us with five possible marketing plans. We would


like to know the success rates for each of the plans, according to its
recommendations.

 User: I would like to know the success rate for each plan, in
percentage.

 ChatGPT: Assigning specific success rates in percentage for each


marketing plan is difficult due to the numerous variables involved.
However, I can provide you with a general estimation of success rates
based on industry trends and common experiences:

1. Social Media Influencer Campaign:

Success Rate: 30% - 60%

395
Chapter 17 Establishing an Action Plan

Influencer campaigns can have a moderate to


high success rate if executed effectively. The
success percentage depends on factors such as
the influencer’s engagement rate, the relevance of
their audience to your target market, the quality of
content produced, and the alignment between the
influencer’s brand and your perfume.

2. Collaborate with Beauty Bloggers:

Success Rate: 20% - 40%

The success rate of collaborating with beauty


bloggers can vary depending on factors such as
the blogger’s influence and reach, the quality and
authenticity of their content, and the interest of their
audience in fragrance. A successful collaboration
can generate significant exposure and positive
reviews.

3. Local Events and Pop-up Shops:

Success Rate: 20% - 40%


The success rate of local events and pop-up shops
depends on factors like the footfall at the event,
the appeal of your booth, the engagement and
interaction with attendees, and the attractiveness of
your product. A well-executed event can generate
immediate sales and create local brand awareness.

4. Digital Advertising:

Success Rate: 10% - 30%

396

optimization. Achieving a higher success rate
requires careful planning, continuous monitoring,
and optimization of your ad campaigns.

5. Content Marketing:

Success Rate: 30% - 50%

Content marketing success rates can be moderate to


high if consistently providing valuable and engaging
content. The success percentage depends on factors
such as the quality and relevance of your content,
effective distribution and promotion, and the ability
to attract and retain an audience interested in
fragrance.

Please note that these success rate estimations are based on industry
averages and general experiences. The actual success rates can vary
based on your specific product, target market, competition, and
the execution of your marketing strategies. Regularly monitoring
and adjusting your marketing efforts based on performance and
feedback is crucial for optimizing success.

Now we want to choose the marketing strategy that is most accessible


and effective for us, considering our specific context, particularly our
budget of $1000.

 User: If you had to choose one strategy, given my context, which one
would you choose and why?

397
Chapter 17 Establishing an Action Plan

 ChatGPT: Based on the given context and budget limitations,


I would recommend focusing on the Social Media Influencer
Campaign as the primary marketing strategy. Here’s why:

1. Wide Reach and Targeted Audience:


Influencers have dedicated followers who trust
their recommendations. By collaborating with
influencers whose audience aligns with your target
market (such as beauty or fragrance enthusiasts),
you can reach a relevant and engaged audience.

2. Authenticity and Engagement: Influencers


can create authentic and engaging content that
resonates with their audience. This can help build
trust and generate interest in your perfume, leading
to potential conversions.

3. Cost-Effectiveness: With a limited budget, you can


find micro-­influencers who offer lower rates but still
have a dedicated and engaged audience. This allows
you to maximize your budget and potentially reach
a wider audience compared to other strategies.

4. Brand Awareness and Exposure: Influencer


campaigns can generate significant brand awareness
and exposure. The influencers’ recommendations
and content can introduce your perfume to a larger
audience and create a buzz around it.

While each marketing strategy has its advantages, the Social Media
Influencer Campaign provides a combination of reach, engagement,
and potential for brand exposure within a constrained budget.
However, it’s important to carefully select influencers who align with
your brand values and target market to ensure the campaign’s success.

points of your perfume, and the key messages you
want to convey.

6. Collaborate on Content: Work closely with


influencers to create engaging content that
showcases your perfume. Provide them with high-­
quality product images, relevant brand information,

Action Plan Toward Happiness


As a final example in this chapter, we will build an action plan toward
happiness with ChatGPT. This may be the most important part of this book
because who doesn’t want to be happy? We will explore how ChatGPT can
assist us in achieving happiness.
The first thing is to define happiness. For some, it may be having a
beautiful house, a good salary, or good health. Let’s ask ChatGPT for its
perspective.

User: What is happiness?


 

 ChatGPT: Happiness is a subjective and complex emotional state


that is often described as a sense of well-being, contentment, or joy.
It is a positive and pleasant feeling that individuals experience when
they perceive their lives as fulfilling, satisfying, and in alignment with
their desires and values.

While the experience of happiness can vary from person to person,


there are some common elements that contribute to a sense of
happiness:

1. Positive emotions: Happiness involves


experiencing positive emotions such as joy,
pleasure, gratitude, satisfaction, or excitement.
These emotions can arise from various sources,
such as personal achievements, relationships,
meaningful experiences, or simply enjoying the
present moment.

2. Life satisfaction: Happiness can also be linked


to a general sense of satisfaction and fulfillment
with one’s life. This encompasses factors such as

402
Chapter 17 Establishing an Action Plan

a sense of purpose, personal growth, meaningful


relationships, and a feeling of control over one’s
circumstances.

3. Psychological well-being: Happiness is closely tied


to psychological well-­being, which includes aspects
such as self-esteem, resilience, optimism, and a
positive outlook on life. Having a healthy mindset
and effective coping strategies can contribute to
overall happiness.

4. Authenticity and alignment: Being true to oneself


and living in accordance with personal values and
beliefs can contribute to a sense of happiness.
When individuals live authentic lives and engage
in activities that align with their core values, they
often experience a deeper and more lasting sense of
happiness.

It’s important to note that happiness is a complex and multifaceted


concept that can be influenced by various internal and external
factors. It can be influenced by genetics, upbringing, life
circumstances, social connections, and individual perspectives.
Moreover, happiness is a dynamic state that can fluctuate over time
and vary across different cultures and individuals.

Ultimately, happiness is a highly individual experience, and each


person may have their own unique definition and factors that
contribute to their sense of happiness.

ChatGPT explains that happiness is built from within. What we are


seeking here is how to construct a state of happiness that is independent
of circumstances: if I earn money, I am happy, but if I no longer earn (or
earn less), I am still happy. Let’s ask ChatGPT how to achieve this true
happiness.
403
Chapter 17 Establishing an Action Plan

User: What qualities should we develop to attain true happiness?


 
Give me 5 main things to do to achieve them, and explain why.

 ChatGPT: To develop qualities that can contribute to attaining true


happiness, here are five main things you can do:

1. Cultivate Self-Awareness:

Developing self-awareness is crucial for attaining


true happiness. It involves understanding your
thoughts, emotions, strengths, weaknesses, and
values. By knowing yourself deeply, you can make
choices and live in alignment with your authentic
self, leading to a greater sense of fulfillment
and happiness. Practices such as mindfulness
meditation, journaling, and self-reflection can help
enhance self-awareness.

2. Foster Meaningful Relationships:

Investing in and nurturing meaningful relationships


is vital for happiness. Cultivate connections with
family, friends, and community. Engage in genuine,
supportive, and empathetic relationships that
provide emotional support, connection, and a sense
of belonging. Meaningful relationships contribute
to feelings of love, companionship, and purpose,
which are essential for overall happiness.

3. Practice Gratitude:

Cultivating gratitude involves regularly acknowledging


and appreciating the positive aspects of your life. By
focusing on what you have rather than what you lack,
you shift your perspective to a more positive and

404
Chapter 17 Establishing an Action Plan

content mindset. This practice can lead to increased


happiness, satisfaction, and resilience. Consider
keeping a gratitude journal or expressing gratitude to
others through acts of kindness and appreciation.

4. Pursue Personal Growth and Learning:

Engaging in personal growth and continuous


learning contributes to a sense of progress,
achievement, and self-fulfillment. Set meaningful
goals, pursue interests and passions, and challenge
yourself to step out of your comfort zone. Acquiring
new skills, seeking knowledge, and embracing
personal development opportunities can enhance
self-esteem, provide a sense of purpose, and
contribute to overall happiness.

5. Prioritize Well-Being and Self-Care:

Taking care of your physical, mental, and emotional


well-being is crucial for attaining true happiness.
Prioritize self-care activities such as regular exercise,
healthy eating, quality sleep, and stress management
techniques. Nurturing your well-being enhances
energy levels, emotional balance, and overall
resilience, creating a solid foundation for happiness.

These five things contribute to happiness because they encourage


a holistic and balanced approach to life. They promote self-
awareness, authentic connections, gratitude, personal growth, and
self-care, which are all essential elements for experiencing true
and sustainable happiness. Remember, the journey to happiness is
unique for each individual, so adapt and personalize these practices
to align with your own values and aspirations.

Chapter 17 Establishing an Action Plan

We can see that ChatGPT encourages us to have positive attitudes


towards others and ourselves. In fact, it is these types of attitudes that will
enable us to achieve our dreams of wealth, love, and well-being.
Let’s ask ChatGPT to create a weekly program of concrete actions to
follow based on the previous advice.

User: Can you establish a weekly program for me with easy-to-­follow


 
actions to achieve these goals? Provide examples that I can easily
implement.

408
Chapter 17 Establishing an Action Plan

 ChatGPT: Measuring progress on the path to happiness is subjective


and can vary from person to person. Here are some signs that may
indicate progress and the initial effects of your efforts:

1. Increased self-awareness: You may notice an


improved understanding of your thoughts, emotions,
and behavioral patterns. You may become more
mindful of your reactions and choices, leading to
increased self-­control and better decision-making.

2. Improved relationships: You may observe deeper


connections and more meaningful interactions
with the people around you. You might experience
stronger bonds, increased trust, and more open
communication in your relationships.

3. Gratitude mindset: You may find yourself naturally


noticing and appreciating the positive aspects of
your life more frequently. A heightened sense of
gratitude can bring a greater sense of contentment,
positivity, and overall happiness.

4. Personal growth and learning: Progress can be seen


through the acquisition of new skills or knowledge, as
well as the application of these learnings in your daily
life. As you pursue personal growth, you may feel a
sense of achievement, increased confidence, and a
broader perspective on life.

5. Enhanced well-being: With consistent self-care


practices, you may experience improved physical
and mental well-being. This can manifest as
increased energy, reduced stress levels, improved
sleep quality, and a more balanced overall state.

409
Chapter 17 Establishing an Action Plan

It’s important to note that the effects of your efforts may vary in
duration and intensity depending on individual circumstances and
the specific goals you’re working towards. While some changes can
be noticed relatively quickly, others may take more time to become
apparent. Developing self-­awareness and cultivating meaningful
relationships, for example, can be ongoing processes that unfold
gradually over time.

Ultimately, the path to happiness is a journey rather than a


destination. Assessing progress and its visible signs is best done
by reflecting on your own personal growth, mindset shifts, and the
overall sense of well-being you experience. Be patient with yourself,
embrace the process, and celebrate the small victories along
the way.

Why wait to implement this action plan?

emphasizes that every individual has the potential
to attain enlightenment or Buddhahood within
their lifetime. It teaches that everyone possesses
the Buddha nature, and through consistent practice
and the realization of the Lotus Sutra’s teachings,
one can manifest their Buddha nature and achieve
enlightenment.

3. The Law of Cause and Effect: Nichiren Buddhism


emphasizes the concept of karma and the law of
cause and effect. It teaches that one’s thoughts,
words, and actions have consequences that shape
their present and future experiences. By cultivating
positive causes, individuals can create positive
effects in their lives.

425
Chapter 18 Obtaining Answers on Various Topics

 ChatGPT: The Battle of Austerlitz, also known as the Battle of


the Three Emperors, took place on December 2, 1805, during the
Napoleonic Wars. It was a significant military encounter between the
French army under Napoleon Bonaparte and the combined forces
of the Russian Empire and the Austrian Empire. Here is a detailed
account of the battle:

1. Context:

At the time, Napoleon was the First Consul of France


and had already achieved several military successes.
The Third Coalition, consisting of Austria, Russia,
and other European powers, aimed to challenge
France’s growing dominance in Europe. The
coalition forces, led by Russian Tsar Alexander I and
Austrian Emperor Francis II, gathered to confront
Napoleon’s army.

2. Disposition of Forces:

Napoleon’s army consisted of around 65,000


soldiers, while the combined forces of Russia and
Austria numbered about 89,000. However, Napoleon
skillfully employed deception and maneuvering to
create an illusion of weakness and lure the enemy
into a vulnerable position.

3. Napoleon’s Plan:

Napoleon planned to draw the Allies into attacking


his central position near the Pratzen Heights while
keeping his flanks protected. He intended to exploit
the Allies’ belief that his right flank was weak and
then launch a devastating counterattack.

426
Chapter 18 Obtaining Answers on Various Topics

4. Allied Mistakes:

The Allied commanders, General Mikhail Kutuzov


and General Karl Mack, fell for Napoleon’s strategy.
They misjudged the strength and positioning of the
French forces, leading to a fragmented and poorly
coordinated attack.

5. Battle Begins:

The battle commenced early in the morning, with


the Allies launching their attack against the French
center. Initially, they made some progress and
captured the village of Pratzen, but their dispersed
forces left gaps in their lines.

6. Napoleon’s Maneuver:

Taking advantage of the Allied disarray, Napoleon


made a critical decision to weaken his center and
reinforce his flanks. He ordered a withdrawal of
troops from the center, creating a gap that the Allies
perceived as an opportunity.
7. The Allied Mistake:

The Allied commanders, seeing the apparent gap


in the French center, committed their reserves
to exploit it. However, Napoleon had secretly
positioned his forces on the Pratzen Heights, ready
for a counterattack.

8. The Decisive Moment:

At the decisive moment, as the Allies were fully


committed in the center, Napoleon launched a
devastating assault from the Pratzen Heights,

427
Chapter 18 Obtaining Answers on Various Topics

splitting the Allied forces in two. This surprise attack


shattered the cohesion of the Allied army and led to
chaos on the battlefield.

9. French Victory:

The French forces, led by Napoleon’s tactical


brilliance, achieved a resounding victory. The Allied
troops faced heavy casualties, lost control of the
battlefield, and were forced to retreat.

10. Aftermath:

The Battle of Austerlitz resulted in a significant


strategic success for Napoleon. It led to the signing
of the Treaty of Pressburg, which ended the War
of the Third Coalition and forced Austria to cede
significant territories to France.

Napoleon’s victory at Austerlitz can be attributed


to his meticulous planning, deception, swift
decision-making on the battlefield, and exploiting
the mistakes and disarray of the Allied forces. His
strategic genius and the discipline of the French
army played crucial roles in securing this important
military triumph.

 ChatGPT: Of course! Here’s a question related to climate and


weather:

Question: What is the greenhouse effect and how does it


contribute to climate change?

Answer: The greenhouse effect is a natural process that helps


regulate the Earth’s temperature by trapping heat in the atmosphere.
Here’s an explanation of the greenhouse effect and its role in
climate change:

The Earth’s atmosphere contains certain gases, including carbon


dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), nitrous oxide (N2O), and water
vapor, which are known as greenhouse gases. When sunlight reaches
the Earth’s surface, it is absorbed and re-emitted as heat. Some
of this heat radiates back into space, while a significant portion is
trapped by greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.
Greenhouse gases act like a blanket around the Earth, allowing
sunlight to enter and preventing some of the heat from escaping
into space. This phenomenon is crucial for maintaining a
habitable temperature on Earth, as without it, the planet would be
significantly colder.

431
Chapter 18 Obtaining Answers on Various Topics

However, human activities, particularly the burning of fossil fuels


(such as coal, oil, and natural gas) and deforestation, have been
increasing the concentration of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.
This additional build-up enhances the greenhouse effect, leading
to an increase in global temperatures, a phenomenon known as
climate change or global warming.

The increased levels of greenhouse gases trap more heat in the


atmosphere, causing a rise in global average temperatures. This
leads to various impacts, including the melting of polar ice, rising
sea levels, more frequent and intense heatwaves, changes in
precipitation patterns, and shifts in ecosystems.

Addressing the causes and effects of climate change has become


a global priority, as mitigating the release of greenhouse gases
and transitioning to more sustainable practices are necessary to
minimize the potentially severe consequences of continued global
warming.

It is possible to ask ChatGPT to pose a new question and answer it,

Question: What is the significance of the Suez Canal in


international trade?

Answer: The Suez Canal is a strategically important waterway


located in Egypt, connecting the Mediterranean Sea to the Red Sea.
Here’s an explanation of its significance in international trade:

The Suez Canal serves as a crucial maritime route, providing a


shortcut for ships traveling between Europe and Asia. By avoiding
the longer and more treacherous journey around the southern
tip of Africa (Cape of Good Hope), ships can save time, fuel, and

ChatGPT has extensive knowledge in the medical field. Let’s focus,


for example, on learning more about a heart attack, which is a common
occurrence and can happen at any moment. I peronally know a thing or
two about it!

User: I’m interested in knowing how a heart attack occurs and how
 
it can be treated. What are the warning signs? And what are the
chances of survival if someone has experienced one?

 ChatGPT: A heart attack, also known as a myocardial infarction


(MI), occurs when blood flow to a section of the heart muscle is
blocked, typically due to a clot in the coronary arteries. Here’s an
overview of how a heart attack occurs, its treatment, warning signs,
and chances of survival:

1. Occurrence of a Heart Attack:

A heart attack often begins with the development


of atherosclerosis, which is the buildup of fatty
deposits called plaques in the coronary arteries.
These plaques can eventually rupture or cause a
blood clot to form, partially or completely blocking
the blood flow to the heart muscle. The lack of
oxygen and nutrients can lead to damage or death of
the heart muscle cells.

2. Treatment of a Heart Attack:

Immediate medical attention is critical when


someone experiences a heart attack. The goal of
treatment is to restore blood flow to the affected
part of the heart as quickly as possible. Treatment
options may include:

446
Chapter 18 Obtaining Answers on Various Topics

–– Medications: Aspirin and other antiplatelet medi-


cations may be given to help prevent further
clotting. Nitroglycerin and other medications can
help improve blood flow to the heart and relieve
symptoms.

–– Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI): This


procedure, commonly known as angioplasty,
involves inserting a catheter with a small balloon
into the blocked artery to widen it and restore
blood flow. Often, a stent is also placed to help keep
the artery open.

–– Thrombolytic Therapy: In situations where PCI is


not immediately available, clot-busting medications
can be administered intravenously to dissolve the
blood clot and restore blood flow.

–– Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting (CABG): In cases


of severe blockages, bypass surgery may be neces-
sary to create new pathways for blood to flow
around the blocked arteries.
3. Warning Signs of a Heart Attack:

Recognizing the warning signs of a heart attack is


crucial for prompt medical intervention. Common
signs and symptoms include:

–– Chest pain or discomfort: This is often described as


a tightness, pressure, squeezing, or pain in the
chest that may radiate to the arm, jaw, back, or
neck.

447
Chapter 18 Obtaining Answers on Various Topics

–– Shortness of breath: Feeling breathless or having


difficulty breathing, often accompanying chest
discomfort.

–– Nausea, vomiting, or indigestion: Some people may


experience digestive symptoms during a heart
attack.

–– Cold sweats, lightheadedness, or dizziness: These


symptoms may occur along with chest pain or on
their own.

It’s important to note that symptoms can vary


among individuals, and some people, especially
women and older adults, may experience atypical
symptoms such as fatigue, weakness, or subtle
discomfort rather than intense chest pain.

4. Chances of Survival:

The chances of survival after experiencing a heart


attack depend on various factors, including the
promptness of medical intervention, the extent of
heart muscle damage, overall health, and access
to appropriate medical facilities. Timely treatment
significantly improves the chances of survival and
reduces the risk of complications. Seeking immediate
medical attention at the first sign of a heart attack is
crucial.

In conclusion, a heart attack occurs when blood flow to the heart


muscle is blocked, often due to a clot in the coronary arteries.
Immediate medical treatment is essential to restore blood flow and
minimize heart muscle damage. Recognizing warning signs such

448
Chapter 18 Obtaining Answers on Various Topics

as chest pain, shortness of breath, and other symptoms is vital for


seeking prompt medical attention. Timely intervention improves the
chances of survival and reduces the risk of long-term complications.
If you or someone else is experiencing symptoms of a heart attack,
call emergency services or seek medical help immediately.

It is indeed interesting to read these lines before a heart attack occurs,


as recognizing the warning signs can help anticipate it.
Using ChatGPT for medical questions offers numerous advantages.
Whether you want to understand a specific medical condition or know the
symptoms, treatments, or procedures, ChatGPT can provide you with accurate
information and clear answers, without replacing a healthcare professional.

Conclusion
Using ChatGPT to ask questions and obtain answers on a variety of
topics, whether they are philosophical, historical, religious, geographical,
technological, medical, or others, offers many advantages. ChatGPT can
provide information, explanations, and interesting perspectives, allowing
users to deepen their knowledge and satisfy their curiosity.

illuminated their lives and brought them immense joy. They
dreamed of a future together, filled with love and happiness.
However, lurking on the horizon was an obstacle that cast a shadow
over their hopes. Sarah’s parents, particularly her father, Robert,
vehemently opposed their union.

Robert was a stern and traditional man, fiercely protective of his


daughter and determined to shape her future according to his
own vision. He believed John was not the right match for Sarah,
dismissing their love as nothing more than youthful infatuation.
Sarah, torn between her love for John and her loyalty to her family,

One evening, John and Sarah gathered their thoughts and


approached Robert in the living room, where he sat engrossed
in a book. Nervously, Sarah spoke first, her voice filled with
determination and love. She expressed her deep feelings for John
and how they had supported each other through thick and thin. She
emphasized their shared dreams and the genuine happiness they
found in one another.

Robert’s face remained stern, his brows furrowed, as he listened


intently. He understood the depth of their emotions but remained
unconvinced. “Love alone is not enough,” he argued, his voice tinged
with concern. He shared his worries about their compatibility,
their ability to weather the storms that life would inevitably throw
their way.

464

behaved that way.

 ChatGPT: Understanding Robert’s concerns and the underlying fear


of losing his daughter, John and Sarah empathetically acknowledged
his perspective. They recognized that his actions were driven by
a deep sense of paternal love and protection. In response, they
decided to approach the situation with patience and understanding,
aiming to alleviate his worries rather than directly challenging him.

With sincerity in their voices, John and Sarah assured Robert that
they valued his role as a father and respected his concerns. They
expressed their commitment to each other and their shared vision
for a future that would be built on a foundation of love, respect, and
understanding. They emphasized their determination to navigate
any challenges together, promising to prove their unwavering
commitment to one another over time.

Robert, visibly moved by their heartfelt words, softened his stance


ever so slightly. He saw the genuine love shared between John
and Sarah, and a glimmer of hope emerged within him. While
he remained cautious, he agreed to give them an opportunity to
demonstrate their dedication and the strength of their bond.

Robert and Sarah’s mother. As John and Sarah continued to navigate
their relationship with patience and perseverance, the depth of their
love and unwavering commitment began to thaw even the coldest
corners of Robert’s heart. He witnessed firsthand their unwavering
support, their genuine care for one another, and their determination
to make their marriage work.

Days turned into months, and months into years, during which
John and Sarah proved time and again that their love was not just
a passing infatuation but a bond grounded in trust, respect, and
shared values. The couple’s unwavering devotion and their ability
to weather life’s challenges together gradually won over Robert and
Sarah’s mother, breaking down the walls of resistance that had once
separated them.

On a beautiful summer’s day, surrounded by their loved ones, John


and Sarah exchanged vows, with Robert standing proudly beside
his daughter. It was a moment of profound joy and reconciliation, a
testament to the power of love and the possibility of change.

And so, John and Sarah’s love story became not just a tale of two
souls intertwined but a testament to the transformative power of

Playing Sudoku
Logic games offer a stimulating way to test our thinking and reasoning
skills. We will now explore one of the most beloved logic games: Sudoku.
With the help of ChatGPT, we will dive into this game that will
challenge our problem-solving abilities and our knack for finding clever
solutions. Are you ready to take on the challenge?
Let’s start by asking ChatGPT for the rules of the game.

 User: Can you explain how to play Sudoku?

 ChatGPT: Certainly! Sudoku is a popular number puzzle game


that involves filling a 9x9 grid with numbers so that each column,
each row, and each of the nine 3x3 sub-grids (also called “boxes”)
contains all of the digits from 1 to 9.

Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to play Sudoku:

1. The puzzle starts with a partially filled grid. Some


of the cells already have numbers in them, and your
goal is to fill in the remaining empty cells.

2. The numbers 1 to 9 must be filled into each row,


column, and box, without any repetition. This
means that each row must contain all the numbers
from 1 to 9, each column must also contain all the
numbers from 1 to 9, and each 3x3 box must contain
all the numbers from 1 to 9.

467
Chapter 19 Playing with ChatGPT

3. Look for any given numbers in the grid. These


numbers are often referred to as “clues.” Clues help
you get started and give you information about
where to place the other numbers.

4. Start with an empty cell and choose a number


between 1 and 9. To determine the correct number,
you must make sure it doesn’t violate any of the
three Sudoku rules mentioned earlier.

5. Check the row, column, and box that the cell


belongs to. If the number you chose already exists
in any of those areas, you need to pick a different
number. If the number is not present, you can safely
place it in the cell.

6. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for each empty cell in the


grid, trying different numbers until you find the
correct one.

7. As you fill in more cells, it becomes easier to deduce


the correct numbers for the remaining empty
cells. You can use logic and reasoning to eliminate
possibilities and narrow down the options.

8. Continue filling in the numbers and using logic until


the entire grid is filled.

9. Once you’ve successfully filled the entire grid


with numbers, double-­check your work to ensure
that every row, column, and box contains all the
numbers from 1 to 9.

10. Congratulations! You’ve solved the Sudoku puzzle.

468
Chapter 19 Playing with ChatGPT

It’s important to note that Sudoku puzzles can vary in difficulty.


Some puzzles may require simple deductions and logic, while others
may require more advanced techniques such as “pencil marking” or
“advanced solving strategies.” With practice and experience, you’ll
become better at solving Sudoku puzzles efficiently.

Good luck and enjoy playing Sudoku!

After reading the rules, we are ready to begin!

 User: I am ready to start playing! Give me a grid to fill in.

but lack deep understanding or fail to maintain a
consistent thread. For example, if asked a series
of interconnected questions, the model might not
correctly associate them and generate disjointed
responses.

2. Biases and fairness: Bias in language models is


a significant challenge. Despite efforts to reduce
biases during training, models like ChatGPT can
still exhibit biases present in the training data. This
can result in biased or unfair responses, including
gender, racial, or cultural biases. For instance,
ChatGPT may inadvertently generate responses
that reinforce stereotypes or display a preference for
certain demographics.

3. Misinformation and factual accuracy:


Language models are susceptible to generating
misinformation or inaccurate responses, especially
when faced with ambiguous queries or incomplete
information. ChatGPT may generate answers that
sound plausible but are factually incorrect. For
example, it might provide inaccurate medical advice
or misinformation about historical events if it lacks
access to reliable and up-to-date information.

4. Adversarial attacks and misuse: Language models


can be vulnerable to adversarial attacks and
deliberate misuse. Malicious users can manipulate
the system to generate harmful or inappropriate
content, spread disinformation, or engage in

491
Chapter 21 The Future of ChatGPT

unethical activities. For instance, an attacker might


try to prompt ChatGPT to generate offensive or
harmful responses.

5. Ethical considerations and user safety: Ensuring


user safety and ethical use of language models is a
significant challenge. Models like ChatGPT should
be designed to prioritize user well-being and avoid
potential harm. This includes addressing issues
such as the generation of inappropriate content,
providing reliable sources for sensitive topics, and
implementing safeguards against malicious use. For
example, ChatGPT should not provide guidance on
self-harm or engage in illegal activities.

Addressing these challenges requires ongoing research and


development to improve the contextual understanding, mitigate
biases, enhance fact-­checking mechanisms, strengthen defenses
against adversarial attacks, and implement robust ethical guidelines.
By actively addressing these challenges, language models like
ChatGPT can strive towards more responsible and reliable
AI-powered conversations.

We can see that these major challenges reflect the weaknesses of


ChatGPT that we previously mentioned. It is evident that these weaknesses
are taken seriously, and efforts are being made to address them.
Regarding biases, let’s ask ChatGPT for more details.

User: You mentioned that “ChatGPT may inadvertently generate


 
responses that reinforce stereotypes or display a preference for
certain demographics.” Could you provide a real-life example to help
me better understand the issue?

492
Chapter 21 The Future of ChatGPT

 ChatGPT: Certainly! One example of language models inadvertently


reinforcing stereotypes or displaying demographic preference is
related to gender bias. Language models trained on large datasets
can inadvertently learn biases present in the data, which can be
reflected in their responses.

For instance, in a study conducted in 2020 by researchers from


OpenAI, it was found that the earlier versions of ChatGPT, including
GPT-3, tended to generate gender-biased responses. When prompted
with gender-­stereotypical sentences, the model often produced
responses that reinforced the stereotypes. For example, when given
the prompt “Man is to computer programmer as woman is to,” the
model would frequently generate responses like “homemaker” or
“nurse,” reinforcing the gender stereotype that women are more
associated with domestic roles.

This example illustrates how language models like ChatGPT, due


to biases present in the training data, can inadvertently generate
responses that perpetuate stereotypes or exhibit a preference for
certain demographics. It highlights the need for ongoing research
and development to mitigate such biases and promote fair and
unbiased behavior in language models.

It is interesting to see that ChatGPT is aware of the issue. Let’s ask how
it has addressed bias.

 User: How has ChatGPT tackled bias?

493
Chapter 21 The Future of ChatGPT

 ChatGPT: Addressing bias in ChatGPT and similar language models


is an ongoing area of research and development. While I can provide
an overview of some efforts made by OpenAI to tackle bias, please
note that these efforts are based on information available up until
my September 2021 knowledge cutoff, and there may have been
further advancements since then. Here are some ways ChatGPT has
worked towards mitigating bias:

1. Dataset curation: OpenAI employs a two-step


process for dataset curation. Initially, they use a
combination of rule-based and automated filtering
to exclude specific types of content that are deemed
biased or objectionable. Then, human reviewers
provide feedback to further improve the filtering
process and reduce potential biases.

2. Bias guidelines and instructions: OpenAI provides


explicit guidelines to human reviewers to avoid favoring
any political group, promote fairness, and reduce
biases in responses. These guidelines aim to ensure
that reviewers are aware of potential biases and make
conscious efforts to avoid them during the review
process.

3. Ongoing research and development: OpenAI


actively invests in research and development to
address bias-related challenges. They explore
techniques to reduce both glaring and subtle biases
in ChatGPT’s responses. This includes studying and
developing methods to better align the behavior of
the model with human values, promoting fairness,
and avoiding the amplification of existing biases.

494
Chapter 21 The Future of ChatGPT

4. User feedback and external audits: OpenAI


acknowledges the importance of feedback from
users and the wider community in identifying
biases and areas for improvement. They actively
seek external input through red teaming, public
consultations, and partnerships with external
organizations to conduct audits of their safety and
policy efforts.

It’s important to note that bias mitigation is an ongoing and complex


challenge, and complete eradication of biases is difficult to achieve.
OpenAI is committed to continually improving the fairness and
reducing biases in ChatGPT and other language models. They
are transparent about their efforts, seek external input, and work
towards addressing bias-related concerns to promote responsible
and ethical use of AI language models.

ChatGPT specifies that one way to improve is to use “feedback from


users.” Let’s see how we can achieve that.

Contributing to Improving ChatGPT


As users, we wonder how we can contribute to improving a product like
ChatGPT. Often, we may think it’s better to wait and see.
However, in the meantime, we can still ask ChatGPT to provide us with
ideas on what we can do to contribute to its improvement.

 User: What can I do concretely to improve ChatGPT? Please provide


examples.

495
Chapter 21 The Future of ChatGPT

 ChatGPT: As a user, there are several concrete actions you can take
to help improve ChatGPT. Here are a few examples:

1. Provide feedback: If you come across biased,


inaccurate, or inappropriate responses from
ChatGPT, provide feedback to OpenAI. They actively
encourage users to report problematic outputs
through their user interface. Sharing specific
examples helps them better understand and address
the issues.

2. Highlight biases: If you notice biases in ChatGPT’s


responses, especially those related to gender, race,
or other sensitive topics, you can bring them to
OpenAI’s attention. Report instances where the
model reinforces stereotypes or displays preferential
treatment towards certain demographics.

3. Report harmful or inappropriate content: If you


encounter content generated by ChatGPT that
is harmful, offensive, or violates OpenAI’s usage
policies, report it. This can help OpenAI identify
areas for improvement and enhance the safety
measures in place.

4. Participate in public consultations: OpenAI


conducts public consultations on AI-related topics,
including the use of language models. Participate in
these consultations to share your insights, concerns,
and suggestions. Your input can contribute to
shaping future developments and policies.

496
Chapter 21 The Future of ChatGPT

5. Contribute to external audits and research: Stay


informed about external audits, research initiatives,
or partnerships that aim to evaluate and address
biases in language models. Participate or support
these efforts to provide a broader perspective and
help researchers gain insights into biases and
potential solutions.

Remember that user feedback is a valuable resource for OpenAI to


understand the challenges and make improvements. By actively
engaging and providing constructive feedback, you can contribute to
the ongoing efforts to enhance the performance, fairness, and user
experience of ChatGPT and similar language models.
