Because of the technology Chat GPT uses, it will almost always give you canned responses. Eventually you'll notice that the prompts you enter become boring... quickly.

This is because the technology that Chat GPT uses, is designed to give the most correct answer on average. The core of most answers will ultimately be the same, unless you use a few prompts to change up the answers.

What is counterintuitive about this topic. This simple ask will help the AI get past the normal responses and add some unconventional ideas.

What would I not think of, when looking at this? This prompt acts in the same way. It has the AI identify other connections in its process, whcih may not be obvious at first glance.

The trick to getting Chat GPT to be more interesting is to act against its interest. It is designed to give you an answer that works in 90% of cases. However, if you want some level of differentiation you must change the success case from the "correct" answer to a unique answer.

tip

Get unique responses, by asking the AI to work around the most average solution.

Over the last few months I've gotten really excited about what's happening in the world of AI. What has pissed me off is people thinking AI is a tool that can think for them.

Honestly, this should bother you to. You don't want lazy thinkers. We all love a good thinker. That one kid in the back of the class that can prove the teach wrong.

On our current path, we're not in the best shape. Most people don't understand how AI affects their decision making, and have begun to outsource the skills that make us human. What does our world look like when everyon delegates their thinking to a bot?

So let's be clear. You and I idolize the people that can look at a challenge with sober eyes and work through it. AI can help us become better with this.
