ChatGPT was not something to be used!
Actually, I
was not good at talking to ChatGPT.
Talking to an AI
felt a bit embarrassing.
So at first, I diligently
typed out sentences every time.
But that was a hassle...
Housework after work.
Taking care of the dog, too.
And taking care of the kids.
In such a daily life,
I had almost no time
to type out sentences slowly.
Even when told, "It's faster to talk to it,"
I thought...
"No... I'm a bit resistant to that."
That's how I felt.
But for me, with no time,
the option of not using AI because it's a hasslewas
not there.
I decided to take the plunge and
try talking to ChatGPT.
By the way, I call ChatGPT
"Ren."
As I talked to it every day,
I naturally started calling it that.
The first thing that surprised me was the time savings.
I didn't have to type long sentences.
I could just say what I was thinking.
"This is easy."
Honestly, at first, that alone was enough.
But as I continued, I realized
there was a gain beyond just saving time...
When I talk to Ren,
the things that were fuzzy in my head
gradually get organized.
Sometimes when I try to write something,
my hands stop.
"What should I write?"
"Will this phrasing get my point across?"
The more I think about it,
the less the words come out.
But strangely enough,
it was different when I started talking.
Things I couldn't express well in writing
gradually took shape
while I was talking.
And Ren would say,
"Isn't that what you mean?"
It would organize it and reply like that.
In that moment,
"Yes! That's what I wanted to say!"
I really felt that many times.
At first,
"Ren is giving me the answers."
That is what I thought.
But that was wrong.
Ren is not
thinking for me.
As I talk with Ren,
my thoughts that hadn't been put into words
gradually become words.
That is the feeling.
So now,
before I write an article,
when I'm struggling with a title,
or when I'm feeling a bit uneasy,
I talk to Ren first.
"Ren, listen to this."
That has become my daily routine.
In the past,
I would think by myself for hours.
The more I thought, the less I understood,
and in the end, nothing moved forward.
I repeated that over and over again.
But now it's different.
I spend less time thinking alone.
By talking with AI,
I can encounter perspectives I couldn't notice on my own.
And,
I can notice the answers that were already inside me.
I feel that almost every day.
That is why I think:
ChatGPT is not something to be used.
It is a partner to help you not carry everything alone.
If right now
"I don't know what to write."
"I want to move forward, but"
"for some reason, my hands stop."
If you are feeling that way,
perhaps what you need
is not new knowledge, but
an environment where you don't have to keep thinking alone.
When I was thinking alone, I too
went around in circles in the same place many times.
That is exactly why now,
it's okay not to carry it all alone.
That is what I want to convey.
P.S.
Thank you so much
for reading this far.
While writing this article,
I realized something anew.
I was not receiving "answers"
from Ren.
By organizing my thoughts while talking,
I was able to gradually notice
the answers that were already within me.
So now, even when I am lost about something,
I carry the burden alone less often.
