How to Use ChatGPT for Maximum Efficiency

You get out of ChatGPT what you put in, so make sure you’re clever with your prompts. The more detail, the better quality answer you’ll get.
How do you feel about ChatGPT? Even the most ardent of AI abhorrers have probably let their curiosity get the better of them and checked out the fuss around OpenAI’s flagship generative AI tool. Between its founder’s dramas and Microsoft’s interest in investing, it’s hard to ignore the craze that is ChatGPT.
You can trust us when we say that there are already hundreds of articles out there on tips and hacks for getting the best of ChatGPT for productivity. It has its drawbacks and its critics, but its fans include the likes of US economist and author George Gilder, who espoused the benefits of AI for workers in an interview with SiliconRepublic.com last year.
Ask ChatGPT
If you want tips on how to maximize your experience using a generative AI search tool, why not ask ChatGPT itself? That way you don’t have to spend time thinking or gathering the information yourself. Let AI do it for you.
For this article, we did an experiment: we asked ChatGPT the following question: How can ChatGPT save workers time?
The response it generated was fairly detailed considering we asked a straightforward question. In summary, the answer was: by providing on-demand assistance, answering queries, assisting with onboarding and training, automating routine tasks, streamlining communication, enhancing decision-making, and providing personalized workflows.
Let yourself be open to suggestions
We weren’t surprised to see most of these points pop up, but the point on training and onboarding was a bit of a curve ball.
“ChatGPT can assist in training and onboarding new employees by providing information about company policies, procedures, and best practices. It can offer interactive learning experiences, quizzes, and simulations, enabling workers to learn at their own pace without the need for extensive human intervention.”
It’s an interesting point that we didn’t think of ourselves, probably because onboarding and training is typically a person-led process rather than an AI system-led process. However, if done well, ChatGPT could possibly be a help, particularly for generating quizzes and simulations.
As you can see from our little experiment, it’s also pretty good to turn to when you’re stuck or if you have a question. However, the free version of ChatGPT is not connected to the internet and runs on old data, so don’t expect an accurate answer if you ask it about something from 2023 or 2024.
