First time ever on this podcast, I will not be interviewing a person. Instead, I will be interviewing an algorithm. GPD chat GP is an AI natural language processing chat bot that allows users to have human-like conversations. The GPD stands for generative pre and it was launched by OpenAI in November of 2022. For today’s experiment in interview, we will have typed in the answers and we will be using a programmed language to read out Chat GP responses. So let’s get started with our experiment.
Welcome, ChatGPT! You’re welcome. I’m here to help, so feel free to ask me anything.
For those of our listeners who aren’t familiar with exactly what you are, can you define your purpose and give us two examples?
The purpose of ChatGPT is to provide informative and accurate responses to questions in natural language. Two examples include answering factual questions, such as ‘What is the capital of France?’ and generating creative texts, such as writing a story about a dragon.
Where do you get the information you use to answer questions?
ChatGPT is a language model created by OpenAI that has been trained on vast amounts of text data from the internet. It uses this training to generate responses to questions based on patterns and information found in that data. However, it’s important to note that not all information on the internet is accurate or up to date, so the responses generated by ChatGPT may not always be 100% correct.
What safeguards does ChatGPT use to ensure its answers are appropriate, accurate, and reliable?
It’s important to critically evaluate the responses generated by ChatGPT and not rely on them as the sole source of information. While ChatGPT can generate responses to questions, it is important for individuals to understand the importance of original work and to not use the technology to substitute their own efforts. The ultimate responsibility for ensuring academic integrity and ethical behavior lies with the individuals using ChatGPT, and they should use it in a manner that aligns with their institution’s policies and guidelines.
How would you suggest someone reduce their speaking anxiety?
When it comes to speaking, do not be so blue. Just a few tips to help get you through: take a deep breath, it’ll calm your mind, and think of what you want to say. Be kind, remember it’s normal to feel a bit of fear, but pushing through will bring you cheer. So be confident and speak with pride, your words will shine, they’ll surely be a guide.
Do we still need to learn how to communicate better now that you exist?
Yes, effective communication skills are still essential even with the existence of ChatGPT. While ChatGPT can provide information and generate responses, it cannot replace the human interaction and emotional intelligence that comes with face-to-face communication. Furthermore, not all communication can be done through technology, and the ability to communicate effectively in person remains important in many settings, such as business meetings, personal relationships, and public speaking. Additionally, developing strong communication skills can enhance one’s confidence and ability to express themselves effectively.
If you were to capture the best communication advice you ever received as a five to seven-word presentation slide title, what would it be?
Listen, speak authentically, show empathy.
Who is a communicator that you admire and why?
One communicator I admire is Martin Luther King Jr. His speeches were powerful, impactful, and delivered with passionate conviction. He effectively communicated his message of equality and justice for all, inspiring social change through his words. His use of metaphors, repetition, and vivid imagery made his speeches memorable and enduring. He remains a powerful example of the impact that effective communication can have.
What are the first three ingredients that go into a successful communication recipe?
Active listening, clarity, and empathy.
