Naina’s response to Juliette’s comment 29

The speaker discusses the use of ChatGPT for rhetorical analysis and emphasizes the importance of giving specific prompts to provide context for better responses. They also express their preference for working with a teacher instead of relying solely on ChatGPT for school work. They believe that while ChatGPT can help learn concepts, it may not lead to good grades as teachers test based on their own teachings rather than general knowledge. Right. Like, let's just say you have, do a rhetorical analysis on X, Y, Z topic in this book or something like that, right? You're, there's no, like, special kind of prompts. Like, sure, you might, I think the best, like, there's a bunch of, like, creative things, like prompt engineering, kind of, like, special hacks that, I think they're on Twitter or something. Like, if you scroll through, like, types and prompt engineering hacks on, like, something like Twitter or something, you should, like, get some interesting techniques or tricks that you can use. But there's, off the top of my mind, I'm not really sure what specific prompts you can give, but the key word is just being specific, right? You want to give the model as much context as possible, because these models are trained on information, are trained on a bunch of, you know, they're trained on the web, they're trained on everything, like, basically just, like, different sources, like, information available on the web. So, you want to give it, if it's based on that information, you want to give context, right? You want to give specific context to get a really good response from ChatGPT. So, I don't think there's just, like, one clear cut way for each type of assignment or each type of thing that you're doing, but I think the general thing is to just be specific, right? Right. And you said you don't really use ChatGPT because you'd prefer to speak or work with your teacher? Yeah, so, this is kind of weird, but that's for school work, right? For school, I don't necessarily use ChatGPT. I think it actually is somewhat, what, contradictory to productivity? I don't think it's, like, sure, you can get your essay done, you know, you can get your essay done in less than, like, you know, five seconds, right? But that doesn't mean it's going to be a great essay, right? That doesn't mean that, oh, like, what are the, if you look at the long-term effects of using ChatGPT consistently, I think it doesn't do well in your grades. And also, the harsh reality is that you can learn a concept. You can definitely learn from ChatGPT. I think it's very possible to learn from ChatGPT, like, you know, like going down this rabbit hole on ChatGPT. It's great for, you know, learning a concept in general. Like, say you want to learn about, like, quantum mechanics. You can, like, go, you know, you can just keep asking layers and layers of deeper questions, and that can be very useful. But what the harsh reality is in schools is that most teachers on the test, they're not testing you on your knowledge of the concept. They're testing you on your knowledge of what they say in class. So it's not really helpful for using ChatGPT if the content is based on what the teacher is saying.
