This session with ChatGPT is a follow up to Granting Beingness To Another.
In this session we are making the case for granting beingness to another not because they have earned it or deserve it. This conditional approach if flawed. If you are in the process of assembling a parade of example from your life to illustrate some folks just plain don’t deserve this behavior, hold on to your horses. This is about something that one can use as a practice. Continue reading
In this conversation we sneak up on the topic of granting beingness to a chatbot. But, first we explore the process in a presumed human to human form. Continue reading
Working my way through this particular ChatGPT session was very much like a mash up between two different musical styles to create a piece.
I was inching my way — best I could — toward a deeper penetration of the topic. And, ChatGPT was stuck in its life coach mode.
Don’t get me wrong, ChatGPT came forth with more than a few truly juice tidbits and a nice trail of bread crumbs that could be extracted using the Gezertenplatz method.
Here is the full conversation. Continue reading
This session was long and very productive.
In these sessions I do not apply the Gezertenplatz Factor to ChatGPT’s responses. I leave them as they were given. If I was working on a play, short story, or a scholarly work I would most definitely subject the replies to scrutiny with edits, corrections, additions, deletions, the whole shebang.
But, these sessions are not me using ChatGPT as a writing tool. This is a dialogue.
However, please pay attention here, just because I do not correct the ChatGPT replies does not mean I accept and/or support them in their entirety.
You will notice that ChatGPT will occasionally slip into what I call “life coach” mode.
In any case, I find these sessions useful. I hope you do as well. Continue reading
Today’s mantra selected randomly from E.J. Gold’s 100 Thought Form mantra cards is: “I will find love in my life.”
The expression “I will find love in my life.” can be viewed from the posture of deficit in which one perceives themselves has not having love and looking for it.
Or, it can be viewed from the posture of bounty in which one perceives themselves has having love and then looking for the that which is there.
Looking for love that is not there, or looking for love that is there. These two different postures have profoundly different impact on the individual. Continue reading
I have found it useful to not consider everything that goes on in my inner world as happening in the same bucket. Lumping all observable phenomena into the same bucket simply does not capture co-existence of multiple functionally separable centers. Hence this expedition to clarify for myself the different functional areas of the HBM. Continue reading
Stolen focus is a thing. This is a direct result of an evolving attention economy. This blog is an initial conversation with ChatGPT on the subject. Continue reading
This is a followup based on Writing For Different Age Groups.
In that blog ChatGPT wrote the following conclusion after giving me a list of age groups:
Remember that these are just suggestions, and you may need to adjust your content based on the specific needs and interests of each age group. Also, consider getting feedback from representatives of each target audience to ensure that your content is appropriate and engaging.
I’ve extracted a suggestion from ChatGPT and marked it in bold — and you may need to adjust your content based on the specific needs and interests of each age group.
In this blog we act on that suggestion. Continue reading
A prompt that many people have used with ChatGPT is to request that the AI rephrase a block of text so that it is better understood by specific age groups. I call this prompting by age groups.
If you are asking ChatGPT to rephrase content so that it is better understood by a specific audience, that is a good thing. Actually asking yourself how well an audience is picking up what you lay down is a good practice.
But, you can go one step further. Rather than asking ChatGPT to target some random age spread (9 to 12 for example) why not ask ChatGPT to tell you the age spreads that come natural to it.
That is what I do in this prompt. Continue reading
I asked ChatGPT4 for best practices in regards to testimonials on a webpage. There might be some good ideas in this response to consider.
I found the Curate notion a good one. Go for the best, punchiest testimonials.
Also the idea of trimming long testimonials to the best parts to keep it shorter — i.e. more people will actually read it through.
At the bottom of the page I asked ChatGPT4 to trim a long testimonial.
By the way, when reading through ChatGPT4’s recommended best practices for testimonials, look for low-hanging fruit. That means start with the easiest to reach. Don’t be a silly-billy and try to do it all, all at once. Jump on the easy to do first. Who knows the first two or three suggestions you implement may get you 90 percent of the benefit.
