Loved this piece from you Harriet!! I am always overly polite to Chat GPT on the rare occasion I use it. I'm not sure if I should, but whenever someone tells me at work to run something through Chat GPT I never, ever do. It makes me feel queasy that I wouldn't just bother to research and learn something myself. I don't know if it's a sort of pride thing, that I don't want to admit defeat and acknowledge that a computer can (obviously) do something better than I can using my own little brain
Thanks Ella!! Isn't it so weird that we feel the need to be polite if we use ChatGPT? As if it's a person with feelings... when it couldn't be further from it 🫠
I haven't actually considered the pride aspect before! But that's so interesting, and makes total sense to me. It's almost like using ChatGPT is cheating or taking the easy route instead of spending a little longer and opting for the 'old fashioned' way (which ironically, isn't even remotely old fashioned because it involves researching on the internet). It sounds like you exercise a firm willpower in your working life against using it – I salute you and your (very human) brain 🫡
This is soooo interesting! I’ve not considered it like this before but you’re sooo right!! I’ve done the small weird smile thing when chatGPT tells me a difficult email I had to write is “the perfect mix of friendly, firm and fair” 🙃🙃
