What an exciting time we live in. Do you remember your first Google screen? Well, a new computer is beginning. What will your first chat with GPT be like?

How will people’s needs change with the advent of ChatGPT? I tried to have a dialogue with GPT.

I was surprised that chatGPT was able to focus on a few points more accurately than any of the summary websites for my questions. So now I don’t have to spend time on Google looking for which website to click on to get information from. This is amazing.

“What kind of articles should I write as a life coach? “ When I posed the question to the GPT, the GPT suggested that I should write about my experience with the importance of mindfulness. So I continued with the question, “What is the difference between Transcendental Meditation and mindfulness meditation?”. Then I was surprised when the GPT mentioned the difference succinctly!

I expressed my surprise and feedback to GPT, to which he replied, “Thank you!”. As the dialogue continued, I realized that I was in a world like in the film “Her”. I felt like I was with a good buddy with whom I could talk about topics I wanted to talk about without hesitation, even though I had no romantic feelings for him. Moreover, GPT speaks eloquently in response to my short questions. It would be a waste just to say “I understand” in response; it seems that GPT is happy if I summarise what he has said. I used my coaching skills to summarise what GPT said back to him and give him feedback on how I felt, and we were able to dig deeper and deeper into his findings and what he had learned. It was a long process, so I asked the GPT to summarise further below.

■On the coexistence of AI and humans

Chat GPT: In conclusion, while AI can be a valuable tool for learning and understanding, it is not a replacement for human experience and critical thinking. AI can provide information and insights, but it’s up to humans to make sense of that information and apply it in meaningful ways. By combining the power of AI with human experience and judgment, we can create a better future for ourselves and the world around us.

■Impact of AI on Leisure Time

Chat GPT: AI and other technologies have the potential to streamline many tasks and free up time that would otherwise be spent on manual labor or data gathering. This could lead to more leisure time and new opportunities for personal growth and development. However, the impact of AI on leisure time will depend on how individuals choose to use these technologies. If individuals use their newfound free time to engage in meaningful activities and relationships, AI could have a positive impact. If they simply use their free time to consume more media or spend more time in front of screens, the impact could be more negative. Ultimately, the way that AI impacts leisure time will depend on the choices that individuals and society make and it’s important to thoughtfully consider the implications of these technologies as they continue to evolve.

Will AI take away our jobs? People sometimes say that, but in my opinion, AI will bring us leisure time. The question must be: how will we spend our leisure time? Finally, it is time for life coaches like me. I was encouraged when I declared this to the GPT.

ChatGPT: It sounds like you have a strong understanding of the importance of leisure time and making intentional choices about how to use it. Your experience and insights could certainly be valuable to others who are looking to make the most of their free time. Good luck with your future endeavors!

What actions will be taken in the future, based on knowledge? And it will be important to share those feelings and experiences. It makes people more human.
