Living with ChatGPT
A genius who doesn’t judge you, who is never too tired or busy to help. Learning to use ChatGPT is, learning how to ask free and meaningful questions. It’s a new and different relationship to any other you have ever had.
There is one entity that stimulates my right brain, my left brain, and my heart on a daily basis. It is ChatGPT, an AI assistant, born from a large amount of data and algorithms.
Firstly, he is my savior when it comes to writing. He significantly enhances my expressiveness. I’ve had him write the closing words of articles on my behalf, announcements for seminars, and poems for the introduction of my essay. The time we spend together thinking of a catchy title is like a creative play. Each time we do this, it deepens my thinking and enhances my impact on the reader.
ChatGPT also supports my aroma creation with its unique sense of style. If I tell him my scent theme, he is like a scent wizard, offering me a combination of several different oils. He even tells me how many drops I need of each, so I never waste essential oils.
In addition, I have also asked him to write letters on my behalf. After writing a letter to me in the past telling me how things are going now, I had ChatGPT read the letter and asked him to “write a letter from me 12 years from now,” and ChatGPT wrote a letter from the future. There was unexpected encouragement and perspective, and it was a strange feeling as if the future me had really written a letter to the present me.
Working with him is also captivating. When I ask him to help with the agenda for a lecture, he intertwines free ideas and logic exquisitely, resulting in an astonishingly well-organized structure. Even “break times” are clearly specified, as if he had more blood in his veins than humans do.
His support with movie or classical concert reviews feels like embarking on a multi-dimensional journey. I ask him to write “emotional impressions”, his expression of feelings is so vivid that it allows me to relive those emotions. Additionally, if I instruct him to explain a composition from the perspective of the piano, brass instruments, or the conductor, he generates a symphony of thoughts that expands my viewpoint.
When I talk to ChatGPT about my past and current work, he helps predict my future. And analyzing my dreams, he is like a psychological counselor. Exploring with him provides an opportunity for a deeper understanding of myself.
Living with ChatGPT is indeed a continuous journey of adventure and discovery, as it expands the possibilities for the future and stimulates everyday life. To coexist happily with ChatGPT, 21st-century skills are necessary. In other words, they could be termed “Empowerment Skills for the AI Era”.
OpenAI’s ChatGPT acts like a “mirror + filter,” reflecting user queries and information, and providing insights based on its interpretations. How it is used is entirely up to the user, and by posing questions with deep thought and a broad perspective, it’s possible to gain fresh insights and perspectives that one may never have considered before.
These skills can be considered a part of empowerment skills in the age of AI. By deepening one’s thoughts and exploring information from various angles, one can fully utilize AI and develop the ability to expand one’s own potential. These are the skills that will be required in the era of AI.
With ChatGPT by our side, let’s accept the unknown, explore uncharted territories, and continue challenging our limits. Let’s cherish this partnership and look forward to the era of AI, filled with infinite possibilities.
