ChatGPT is an AI language model chatbot that is taking the internet by storm. You must have heard about it if you are even a bit present in the tech world. We also covered an entire guide on ChatGPT and how to use it.
Since it is an AI-based language model and very new for the audience, there needs to be more clarity around how to take maximum advantage of ChatGPT.
ChatGPT is a powerful tool that can resolve many queries if used correctly. Today, we will look at some tips to help you take maximum advantage of ChatGPT. We will also look at some beneficial use cases where ChatGPT shines the most.
Tips to Take Maximum Advantage of ChatGPT
ChatGPT works like pretty much any other chatbot. However, it is an advanced AI language model. With the launch of the GPT-4 version, ChatGPT will only become more advanced. Users can get a lot done if they use ChatGPT efficiently. So here are a few tips that will help:
Be Specific with Your Query
ChatGPT is an advanced AI language model. It can easily understand anything you type, even in small sentences. Ask specific questions if you want the best results for your query. Be clear and straightforward when asking questions. This will help ChatGPT understand your query and provide the best answers.
For example, just type, “Please generate a cover letter for me for applying at a school for a teaching position as a fresher,” and that’s it.
As you can see, I provided specific details for my query, and ChatGPT gave me a pretty good result.
Use Natural Tone
Developers at OpenAI built ChatGPT using the GPT (Generative Pre-trained Transformer) architecture, which is a state-of-the-art deep learning model for natural language processing (NLP). Naturally, the tool is well-optimized to understand human language.
Since it can easily understand natural language, you should ask your questions in a conversational manner, just as you would with a human.
Try to Provide Context
If you want some in-depth or specialized information, you must provide context to ChatGPT. The more context you can provide, the better ChatGPT will be able to understand your question and give a helpful answer.
For example, I asked what GI is in two different contexts, and it gave me a different answer for both.
I also asked what GI is without context, which gave me a more generalized response.
So it is vital to provide the correct context if you want more accurate and relevant results.
Always Verify the Information
ChatGPT is an AI language model. It provides answers based on its training and knowledge. The more data it has, the better results. It is essential to understand that ChatGPT is new and learning every day.
As a user, you can’t expect a hundred percent accurate results. So if you are going to use ChatGPT’s provided information, make sure to verify it from other sources.
While ChatGPT aims to provide correct information, it can sometimes provide wrong facts or information.
Explore on Your Own
Many people simply love ChatGPT because it provides comprehensive results in just a few seconds. It can do various tasks such as summarizing text, generating text, suggesting responses, and more.
So as a user, you can get a lot done with this tool. However, it is a learning journey where you have to experiment on your own to learn what this tool offers you.
Analyze your use case and then see the best ways to utilize ChatGPT.
How to Get the Most Out Of ChatGPT?
As mentioned above, ChatGPT can be helpful in many scenarios. However, as a language model, its most extensive use is in writing and generating text. People in the writing industry use ChatGPT extensively to do better research and create more content frequently. Then people in the education and professional fields are also using ChatGPT. Let’s have a look at how to take maximum advantage of ChatGPT:
Searching Queries
You can literally ask any question to ChatGPT that you would typically ask as a person or a search engine. It will provide you with an answer for sure. ChatGPT works as an excellent research tool as it provides you with very relevant and essential information on various topics.
Generating Text
This is probably one of the most significant use cases and advantages of ChatGPT. It can generate text on a given topic or prompt. People use this feature extensively to write new content such as blogs, articles, stories, etc.
In a more professional use case, people also use it to compose professional emails, cover letters, and resumes. These basic tasks take a lot of time, but with ChatGPT, people can do them with a single line.
Writing Codes
People in the IT world are also using ChatGPT to generate complex codes or resolve coding problems for them. If you also want to write a program using a particular coding language, you can ask ChatGPT to do it.
We also took some liberty to ask a few of our IT fellows to see whether ChatGPT helps resolve their coding issues. Interestingly, we got some mixed responses. But the common theme was that it could handle small or basic coding problems. However, if you ask something complex, it can’t do it, but it definitely provides gives some good tips to resolve the issue.
Education
Let’s admit it, most of us like to study at the last moment. Sometimes, we also don’t have to resources to study the relevant topics. ChatGPT can be very helpful in this case as it provides comprehensive notes and solutions to all the subjects. So for research and learning, you can utilize this tool.
Content Creation
From creative writing to straight-up content ideas, ChatGPT does a pretty good job when it comes to content creation. We did try asking ChatGPT to write a short horror story for us and give us some content ideas for our travel YouTube channel. Surprisingly, ChatGPT gave us very convincing answers.
For content creation, ChatGPT is an excellent tool. In fact, many businesses are using ChatGPT to push out large amounts of AI-generated content for their site.
Research
If you are not familiar with the topic or want to conduct research on a particular topic, ChatGPT is easily one of the best places to start. It provides you with the most basic information that is good to get you started on a particular topic.
In our testing, we found that ChatGPT was able to help us a lot in research for a lot of topics. However, the AI-powered chatbot tends to struggle if you ask academic research questions it. Also, it just provides you with very basic information on topics. For conducting deep research, you need more tools in your arsenal.
It is important to note that you can’t completely trust the information provided by ChatGPT. In many cases of our testing, it delivered incorrect or outdated information.
Gaming
Interestingly, ChatGPT can also play a variety of text-based games with you. They are not the most fun, but if you choose them right, the text-based games on ChatGPT can be exciting.
Additionally, ChatGPT can also answer a lot of your gaming queries. From game hints to guides to recommendations, you can get a lot of good information from ChatGPT if you provide your preferences.
Translation
ChatGPT also does the translation for major spoken languages. It does a pretty good job if the sentences are easy and have a general meaning. However, when you add more context or use modern lingo, the AI-powered chatbot tends to struggle. We compared the translation for the following sentence from ChatGPT and Google Translate: Wow, that’s a cool drip.
We intentionally used the modern slang “drip” to check the accuracy. While ChatGPT completely failed to deliver the correct answer, Google Translate was able to provide a more acceptable version.
Personalized Recommendations
ChatGPT is a perfect tool if you want personalized recommendations for books, TV shows, and movies. All you have to do is ask the chatbot about recommendations by providing your preferences. It can suggest products, services, movies, books, and other recommendations tailored to your preferences. However, ChatGPT only has data limited to September 2021. So you might not get recommendations for all the latest developments.
Debugging Codes
Sometimes due to a lack of knowledge of the concept, frustration, or some other reason, debugging a code becomes a nightmare. This is the perfect place to use ChatGPT, as it can debug your code objectively.
We asked some of our friends in the field of IT, and again; they had mixed responses. They said that the chatbot was able to debug minor issues, but when it had some complex code, the chatbot failed.
Marketing
ChatGPT can work as a brilliant marketing tool if you know how to use it right. It can do a lot of stuff like content generation, social media management, market research, data analytics, email marketing, brand messaging, etc.
From conversational AI to writing codes, ChatGPT has countless use cases for every person. It all depends on how you are planning to use it.
Closing Thoughts
ChatGPT is an excellent tool you can use for various things. You can use it for research, generating texts, writing codes, resolving queries, etc. All the tips above will help you take maximum advantage of ChatGPT and utilize it more efficiently. You should add this tool to your arsenal to become more efficient.
