ChatGPT, a pre-trained AI bot, has become increasingly popular ever since its release in Nov. 2022. However, it has generally been looked down upon due to the negative public perception on growing AI presence in the world. Despite this, ChatGPT has some highly beneficial uses overlooked due to this shadow of mistrust.
Firstly, ChatGPT can help users learn a variety of languages. Currently it supports French, Spanish, German, Portuguese, Italian, Arabic, Russian, Chinese and many more. Learners can practice their skills by conversing with the bot, asking it questions about specific appropriate responses or vocab or prompting it to give them lesson plans.
This facility is especially useful in America, with a growing demand for bilingual workers. Any employee could use ChatGPT to help sharpen their skills in another language, enabling them to converse with a higher range of customers and clients. Likewise, ChatGPT supports foreign-language speakers or immigrants in learning English, aiding in their acclimation in the United States and permitting them to seamlessly integrate into a myriad of jobs.
To be specific, ChatGPT can help those who may not be familiar with American corporate customs or simply don’t have the exact words to express themselves. It can help compose emails, write out plans, proposals, memos, letters and more. As they reach fluency, individuals can then release the crutch of ChatGPT.
Similarly, ChatGPT can tutor students in weak areas of study. It can summarize reading, work through problems the user does not understand, rephrase problems or word complex concepts in a way the user understands.
ChatGPT has a negative reputation in educational settings for helping students cheat on their assignments. Yet, applications such as Mathway, Grammarly and alike are praised for tutoring and providing support to students will also open up the same opportunities for academic dishonesty. Additionally, the use of ChatGPT allows students to sharpen the skill of recognizing their own difficulties: creating stronger, more autonomous students. When asking for help in class or tutoring from peers fails, ChatGPT can be a last-ditch resort for students struggling.
But outside of the classroom and the workforce, ChatGPT is helpful to our society as a whole. Virtual assistants have been around since Siri was first introduced in 2011, with Apple on the iPhone 4S. In a way, ChatGPT is a stepping stone towards improving these technologies and further amalgamate conversations with AI into human lives. It is important to normalize these interactions, which will increase human productivity; as AI can complete automotive, time-consuming tasks, humans will be able to put more effort into other labors.
In conclusion, when we have reached a futuristic world, ChatGPT will have been a significant cog in the wheel towards advancement. From helping users learn languages, tutoring students, and increasing efficiency in society, ChatGPT is a practical and advantageous tool.
