>> Hey all, Marty here and we are back with another Unmead episode.

Today, we're going to be talking all about Chat GPT.

With me today, I've got Michael.

Say hello, Michael.

>> Hello.

>> I also have Lynn with us today and say hello, Lynn.

>> Hello, everybody.

>> Why don't we start this out with what exactly

is chat GPT for those who don't know.

So Michael, why don't you kick us off?

• Yeah, so I will share it the best way

that it's been explained to me

and then hand it over to Lynn

to fill in anything she wants to with it.

The best way that chat GPT or the technology

that is text generation is explained to me

is it is auto-correct on steroids.

Instead of just tapping that middle word

in the middle three words that are above your keyboard,

if you didn't know if you start typing and you leave it on

above your keyboard on iOS and Android,

three words show up that you can tap to auto fill

and your phone can auto guess what the next word's gonna be.

Well, this is that on steroids because A,

the prediction of the next word actually makes sense

based on the context of the information

that you prompt the AI with,

and B, it then will fill it in

and automatically form sentences

because it's aware of proper English grammar,

and conscious of it a lot more than I am.

And that's the best way that I have learned

to explain what chat GPT is.

What about you, Lynn?

• All right, so to me, chat GPT is a brain helper.

It's a thought helper, it's a creativity helper.

It thinks very fast.

We don't like to typically say that AI thinks,

but for the purposes of understanding what it is,

have you ever sort of stopped and think,

gosh, if I could just tell this computer what I want,

if I could just tell this word processor what I want to say

and then have it say it for me.

• Work processor, write me a paper.

• Exactly, exactly.

• Work processor, write me a paper on,

insert subject here.

>> Yes. When we think about AI, artificial intelligence,

basically what we're talking about is a tool that helps us.

I like to say, some people would say that it takes over our thinking.

In my opinion, from my use of it,

it helps my creativity, it boosts it.

It helps me to think in different ways.

A lot of times, I will ask it a question,

and it will come back with an answer,

and it was like, "Wow, I didn't even think that.

I wasn't even thinking from that angle."

So it really does help,

I think, to broaden your horizons when you're doing your work.

One time, I had to write a customer service letter,

and I was really angry,

and I wrote all this stuff into the chat box.

Then I asked GPT to write a professional-sounding letter,

and it came back with a letter that would be written by a person that wasn't crazy angry.

[LAUGHTER]

It did a beautiful, beautiful job of coming back,

and here is a letter that you could actually send to a customer service.

>> There's a lot of processes that you can use for chat GPT.

I mean, really anything, right?

I mean, you can use it for a paper

you may be writing on a certain topic.

You can maybe do it on a marketing project you're doing

if you're trying to market something.

I mean, there's so many different use cases for it.

It's endless.

So Lynn, what would be like a workflow?

You would start out with some kind of an idea,

you're writing something.

How would you do your workflow?

You would start out and then go from there.
