Don’t use ChatGPT for Factual Answers

If you’re using ChatGPT, then, don’t always trust its answers immediately. You can’t be entirely sure the data is perfect, ChatGPT can still make mistakes. While ChatGPT can provide detailed responses to questions, it does not provide the sources it received those responses from. Always, fact-check responses first and verify them with other sources. By fact checking ChatGPT responses you can ensure that the information you receive is accurate and reliable. 

Do use ChatGPT to Help you Brainstorm

ChatGPT is a good resource if you are experiencing any type of creative block. ChatGPT can generate a wide range of ideas and suggestions, which can help you come up with new ideas and get over any creative blocks. Keep in mind ChatGPT is a helpful tool for brainstorming, but don’t depend only on what it says. Instead, take its suggestions as a starting point to stimulate your creative thinking. 

Don’t Rely Solely on ChatGPT

ChatGPT is a useful tool but you should not solely rely on the answers that it provides you. The tool is limited by the data it’s been trained on and cannot be creative or understand emotions. Although ChatGPT has access to a large amount of information, it is not able to access all of the knowledge that humans have and will never compare to the creative ability of people. You may use ChatGPT to help you but make sure to go back and add your own knowledge and creativity to your projects to ensure that you are not solely relying on it.

Do Use ChatGPT to Proofread 

Throughout your career you will use your writing skills within your jobs. It is important that you have professional writing and it is free of grammatical errors. ChatGPT can assist you in identifying and correcting any grammatical errors or typos. However, it’s important to keep in mind its strengths and limitations.

As you adapt to the use of ChatGPT in your career journey, always remember to use it as a supportive tool to complement your own knowledge and expertise. It is a helpful tool but your own unique skills, experience, and hard work is what will best help you achieve success.
