I write an email with my poor language skills, bad grammer and autism and paste it into the text box and prompt chatgpt to "rewrite this message in a concise and friendly manner: <email>"

swah3• 3 years ago

Rewrite above with an academic tone:

With regard to my linguistic aptitude, grammatical proficiency, and autism, I compose an electronic message in a substandard manner. Subsequently, I transfer this message into the relevant text box and proceed to prompt "chatgpt" to efficiently and amiably revise the content of said message.

I help a few poor people near my home and one of those has my Whatsapp. Yesterday she wrote around 7 or 8 lines of very "confusing to parse" pt-br and ChatGPT perfectly "understood" and rewrote it in discursive form.

Then I had this insight that AI like this could "empower" a few billion people just because of this "infinite patience" to communicate with people that are semi-illiterate or learning to write. I wish these tools get to them quickly.

(In my specific case, Whatsapp would have to run this rewrite before sending the message, and suggest the rewrite to her. This would teach her and at the same time put her on a more level playing field to get a job etc. And she won't install an app and do this. It will only "work" if integrated and automatic)

"This article is long, boring, pessimistic, and winding. Could you please summarize it in a way thats accurate but short and not such a bummer"

"I want you to act as a Linux terminal. I will type commands and you will reply with what the terminal should show. I want you to only reply with the terminal output inside one unique code block, and nothing else. Do not write explanations. Do not type commands unless I instruct you to do so. When I need to tell you something in English I will do so by putting text inside curly brackets {like this}. My first command is pwd."

"Could you please help me debug this code. When I run it I get the following error message:"

"I'm looking for a book about x I've learned y about it and I've read these other books. Also I really enjoy the writing style of z on subjects like this. Could you please recommend a book on this topic?"

"Could you please summarize this book detailing some of the primary concepts and key ideas"

"I want to brainstorm architecting the following software project. Don't worry about writing code, I just want to think through the best way to organize apis and what tools would be a good fit:"

"I want to create an app with the following layout. Could you write the code for xyz file"

"I've never written code in xyz language before but I enjoy learning new programming languages. Can you help me understand the basics of the language and then help me write my first hello world locally. I'm quite familiar with python so any analogies you can make to that would be great"

"I'm trying to think of a song to put in a video. Here is whats happening in the video, could you suggest 3 songs that fit with that moment and would work well to edit around"

Lastly I generally go to gpt(4) or new bing now rather than google for most things. I find the answers to be better for most queries now.

"I will give you a message in German. Correct the spelling and grammar mistakes and explain the corrections."

I feel a lot more confident writing in German when someone is highlighting my mistakes before the message gets sent.

I also ask it more and more questions that would have been a Google search plus a few minutes of reading the first results. ChatGPT gives me a straight answer in a few seconds. This is good for quick definitions, code samples etc.
