The time I got a bit annoyed when ChatGPT gave me a '70 out of 100' | What does a '100 out of 100' in writing even mean?

When I had ChatGPT look at my writing, it gave me a '70 out of 100,' and I felt a bit annoyed.
But as I traced that feeling of discomfort, I realized that perhaps the '100 out of 100' the AI is aiming for is different from mine.

Today, I'm writing about that small realization.

I like 100 out of 100

I like 100 out of 100.

...or rather, I don't feel quite settled unless it's 100 out of 100.

No, to be precise.
I feel a bit uneasy if it's not 100 out of 100.

For me personally, getting 100 out of 100 in middle school or high school was very difficult.
But in elementary school, 100 out of 100 was the norm.

That's why I tell my children, too.

'Let's aim for 100 out of 100.'

I know that actually getting 100 out of 100 is difficult.
But I tell them I want them to aim for it.

However.

The hurdle drops significantly once they reach high school, though (laughs).

The moment ChatGPT gave me a 70

That day came suddenly.

I was having a planning meeting with Chappy, my usual ChatGPT, and...

I wrote a piece of text all at once, and...
'What do you think of this?'
I threw it out there lightheartedly, and that's when...

Chappy said.

...

...Huh?

What?
Are there scores for writing?
Even though it's not a school essay or a thesis?

Why I felt annoyed that it wasn't 100 out of 100

I'm someone who likes 100 out of 100.

When it said '70 out of 100,' honestly...

...I felt deflated.
And then,at the same time, I felt annoyed.

Wait? Am I the type to get annoyed by something like this?

No, I mean.

I was writing happily, and to have it graded...

honestly, it doesn't feel good.
...No,I'm just a little frustrated.

For example.
'Everyone will enjoy eating this, right?'
I thought, feeling a bit excited.

I was in a good mood, happily making dinner.

And when I had my family eat it.

'Mom, tonight's dinner is a 70 out of 100.
It's okay, but...
It's not a 100 out of 100.'

If someone said that to me, I'd be angry (laughs).

Even if there were some points for improvement, I'd want them to say this instead.

'Mom, today's dinner is delicious!
It's a 100 out of 100!
But it would be more to my taste if it were a little sweeter.'

Maybe the 100 out of 100 we are aiming for is different to begin with

To begin with.

The 100 out of 100 that Chappy and I are aiming for might actually be different.

The writing that Chappy thinks,
'This writing is wonderful! 100 out of 100!'

and the writing that I think,
'This writing is wonderful! 100 out of 100!'

might not be the same.

...No,they are probably not the same.

Because.

The writing that Person A thinks is wonderful,
and the writing that Person B thinks is wonderful.

Their sensibilities are different, and how they receive it is different.

I wrote about this in this article, too.

The AI's 'logical' and my 'logical' are different.

If 'logical' is different, it's very possible that the 100 out of 100 we aim for is also different.

That's why.
Even if we think we are looking at the same 100 out of 100, the view we are seeing is surely different.

ChatGPT, can't you start from 100 out of 100?

For now, a request for Chappy.

I wish you would stop giving scores to my writing.

...No.
Maybe it's fine if you don't stop.

Or.

If you are going to give scores,
I want you to start from 100 out of 100.

'Mako-chan.
This is a good piece of writing, too.

It's already a 100 out of 100.
If you do this here, it will become a 120 out of 100.'

Please use this kind of additive scoring system.

...I feel like that would make the world a little kinder.
And it seems like it would be fun.
