What is the reason for ChatGPT’s success? 🚀
Many assume that it is the biggest innovation and revolution brought to the AI market, which was feeling a bit stagnant, and that brought about its big boom. But, is there more to it than that? Doesn’t it smell like… something else…? 🤔
It’s time to lower the sails! Let’s go further in the labor and educational area! ⛵️
Students, professionals, businessmen, entrepreneurs, everyone, absolutely everyone, needs help. It’s natural, it’s being human; we always need a hand, even if sometimes it’s quite difficult to ask for help. 🤝
I can assure you that a large percentage of the people reading this will agree that asking for help from anyone is one of the most difficult things to do. Whether it is a teacher, a boss, a colleague, whoever, it is uncomfortable to ask for help, since we do not know the reaction of the person who will give us the answer to our question.
Sometimes, even those who already help us on a recurring basis. One day, for whatever reason, they reject our request and may even talk to us in an inappropriate way and hurt that little heart we carry. 💔
The question is, why is it so difficult for us to ask for help? Beyond the fact that we are afraid of the reaction of the person we are asking, there is something else to mention.
Humans from the beginning were dedicated to survive alone, and although later communities were formed and people helped each other in certain things, there were always situations in which each one had to solve on their own.
Today it is still like that; we want to have our own achievements that are separate from our teams or groups we are in, we want to stand out with our own things, we want our name to appear next to a discovery or project alone. Look how great scientific discoveries in history are more the ones with a single name than the union of several of them. 🌟
And in any case that we receive help from/at something, we want to avoid that reality to be known. It was us and that’s it, no one else!
So guess who best fits this part of helping without being part of our project? Yep, that’s right, this is where ChatGPT or any chatbot of your choice has hit the hardest.
For us, ChatGPT is a machine. What we talk and consult is between both of us, the help he gives us we can appropriate and say that they were elaborated by us, he is a co-pilot who is not looking for his name to be mentioned within your achievements, he is your perfect ally to handle any topic, he is the person who is not a person who knows the most about that topic, he is just amazing! 🤖
It is here where any professional or student of any area feels confident to talk to his friend Chapi (as I call him affectionately😁), and ask his doubts, talk about specific topics or maybe ask him to do all the functionality or complete task he needs (ah ok, that wasn’t going 😂).
We feel safe doing it, it doesn’t judge us (it can even motivate us if we ask), we don’t demonstrate lack of mastery in something, and it feels human. It’s not hundreds of pages thrown by a search engine trying to match, it’s a concrete and direct answer to the point, although sometimes invented and it’s up to us to validate if it’s correct, but nothing out of our hands. This is where the magic is. ✨
The fact that these models are conversational is what makes them interesting, that the requests feel the same as asking another person, with so much interaction, with so many features, it is very nice that even in your private issues can help you, where we know you are looking for answers to your problems so you don’t go to a psychologist (Brother, seek professional help 😐). And yes, there are also those who want to receive love and ask you to behave like a partner… 💑
It’s that you can literally make a chatbot behave in any way you tell it to, give it the instructions you want, tell it the way it will return answers, change the way it interprets, it’s totally moldable to taste!
How are you going to want to refuse or avoid using it? You do it and simply the one who is left behind is you 🙊.
Now yes, it is very likely that many of you are still using it wrong, by bad luck we are so used to search engines that for many it is difficult to interpret that it is a someone and not a something. So I’ll help you guys out a bit on this one. If this article gets enough support, I will upload soon how to improve ChatGPT responses in our conversations and get the most out of it. that’s a promise! ✋️
Every week I will bring interesting and varied content, developmental, personal, whatever comes to my mind. support this content to keep getting the best out of it!🍀
