The challenge of using GAI is that the results are often as good as the prompts you give it. As producer, I had to learn how best to make use of the chatbot.
It got quite meta at one point, where we asked ChatGPT to teach us how to write a better prompt to get itself to write a better script about ChatGPT!
I had host Steven Chia face off with the chatbot in a General Paper essay-writing challenge; and explored why ChatGPT “hallucinates” facts that aren’t true.
One of the biggest challenges was figuring out when to dip in and out of ChatGPT’s script vis-a-vis my own. We came up with an ending we’d never tried before: My bosses decided to pit me against ChatGPT in drafting a conclusion.
The result… well, YouTube viewers who preferred my version said it “sounds more natural” and had a “more human touch”. Those who liked the chatbot’s found it “shorter and concise” and “smoother, more coherent”.
Watch and vote for who you think wrote a better wrap-up. I’m hoping I win, of course!
