Echoes of ChatGPT: A Simple Prompt


“ChatGPT is designed to assist with a wide range of tasks, from creative writing to technical support. It’s a tool that adapts to the user’s needs, making it incredibly valuable for both personal and professional use.”

Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI

The winter semester just ended at Grand Rapids Community College, meaning I have a few weeks before the summer semester begins. So… this leaves me with extra time on my hands. What is a mom to do with free time? Do I do more research on project management, do I have some fun searching for new advances in AI, or do I start a new series on Netflix? Oh, I know, I’ll ask ChatGPT for some ideas.

I open the computer, open ChatGPT-4, and begin to type. It gives me ideas, and I ask for more options. I begin to ask it to personalize my options by letting it know which ideas I like an dislike.

And just like that, over the past year and a half, ChatGPT has become an integral piece of my daily life. It happened so quickly, in so many small ways. Even as I am typing this, I head to ChatGPT to ask it how to phrase the first sentence in this paragraph, to have it proofread my text, and to ask it to word it more professionally. I search ChatGPT-4 for the WriteFor Me GPT, and I begin to copy what I have written and turn more professional.

PROMPT: Rewrite this more professionally, but still easy to read and understand.

Here is what it suggested:

“With the winter semester at GRCC now concluded, I find myself with a few weeks of downtime before the summer session begins. As a mother with newfound free time, I’m contemplating how best to spend it. Should I delve deeper into project management research, explore the latest advancements in AI, or indulge in a new series on Netflix? Seeking guidance, I turn to ChatGPT.

Over the past eighteen months, ChatGPT has seamlessly integrated into my daily routine, assisting with everything from crafting the perfect opening sentence to proofreading my texts and suggesting professional rephrases. It’s remarkable how quickly and subtly it has become a fundamental part of my life. As I type this, I rely on its capabilities to enhance and refine my writing, illustrating just how indispensable ChatGPT has become. Here is the enhanced version it provided:”

So there you have it, my first real-life example and first blog post about you, me, and ChatGPT. ChatGPT’s influence on my daily life has been both profound and practical. Whether I’m navigating academic pursuits, exploring personal interests, or simply seeking the right words, it has been an invaluable resource. As I prepare for the summer semester and decide how to best use my free time, I am grateful for the insights and enhancements that ChatGPT continues to provide. Its seamless integration into my routine exemplifies the potential of AI to enrich our lives in countless small but significant ways.

I encourage you to experience the transformative power of ChatGPT firsthand. Whether you’re a student, professional, or simply curious about AI, give ChatGPT a try and see how it can enhance your daily tasks and projects. How has ChatGPT helped you? Have you discovered new and creative ways to integrate AI into your routine? Reflect on your experiences and consider sharing your insights with friends or colleagues who might also benefit from incorporating AI into their lives. Your feedback could inspire others to explore the possibilities and benefits of AI.

“AI is the new electricity, and tools like ChatGPT are empowering individuals and businesses to harness this power in unprecedented ways. It’s transforming how we interact with technology and augmenting our capabilities.”
