An experiment with ChatGPT: Insights from OpenAI's Advanced AI Model
Learn how ChatGPT is revolutionising technology and human interaction.
Hey folks, and a warm welcome to my new subscribers. The Woz Report has swelled by 57 new readers in the last 30 days, and I’m thrilled that you’re part of the community. AI is one of the hottest topics, and whether you’re for or against AI, it’s here to stay. The ubiquity of AI lends to opportunity, and just like the SmartPhone, we all learned to live with and exploit new technology. Millions use AI daily without thinking. Case studies include smart speakers, AI cleaners, smart thermostats and in car technology. The notion of an interview with AI might sound bizarre, but I want to learn more about the technology, and how best to use it ethically. So what happened when I asked ChatGPT for an interview?👀
The ChatGPT Interview
Not that I needed to, but I asked ChatGPT for permission for an interview. I started by asking how many people request an interview, but unfortunately OpenAI doesn’t track booking records.
Moving on, I asked ChatGPT about the latest trends in AI. Edge AI emerged in one of the responses, something I didn’t know anything about. Just think of AI in computer networks (routers, routing switches, integrated access devices, multiplexers). It’s all a bit geeky, which is good.
As a sustainability consultant and author of my other Substack, ESG Nerd, I moved the narrative on to climate modelling. ChatGPT’s response included PyClim, which struck a cord, because I’ve been trying unsuccessfully to learn Python.
PyClim: PyClim is an open-source Python library for climate data analysis and visualisation. It provides tools for working with climate model output, observational data, and reanalysis datasets. PyClim aims to facilitate climate research by offering a user-friendly interface for analyzing and interpreting climate data.
As with my most resent research efforts, I ended up down a rabbit hole, learning about Dyson Spheres, and I’m not talking about vacuum cleaners. First proposed in the 1960s, Dyson spheres are hypothesised structures that could surround entire stars to absorb their energy. New Scientist.
Fearing that the AI conversation could last an eternity, I posed one last question about collaborative AI. Whilst I wasn’t surprised to read about Notion, I did learn of another programme called Asana, a programme to manage plans and strategic goals.
Wrapping up the AI chat
Experimentation is the key to unlocking AI's full potential. The beauty of The Woz Report lies in its versatility—I'm not confined to any single niche. Technology is moving at pace. Reflecting on my first mobile, the Nokia 3310, I’d never envisage how powerful phone technology would become. AI has the potential to be the all conquering disrupter, and that worries many.

"Use the comments section explain how you’ve been using ChatGPT." <--- TBH, I use ChatGPT to check my grammar for my article before I post it. Lol 🤣
I'm really not sure how to take AI. ChatGPT is awesome and its really intriguing to see where it will go... BUT as its not regulated, and could easily be used against us, I also find its potential terrifying
