I know I’m a week late but i still wanted to jump on on this important topic:
I have spoken with a number of people that are utilizing AI for trying to creating some aspect of content(from books to articles and even trying to get a layout for a specific type of webpage), where as i currently see AI as better for assisting us like a force multiplier. Example using ChatGPT: “Can you give me 10 questions to ask a user of a e commerce website to help understand what they like and dislike about using the site?”

This style of questioning I find to be very useful even in highly context dependent situations because I can offer ChatGPT my best few questions and ask it to riff on those to find other good questions or better worded questions.

Another way I see it as extremely useful is to summarize notes in order to identify patterns that I may have missed. If i have kept notes from all of my stakeholder meeting and done a decent job, the AI can help me identify core themes and patterns, and then I can use it to help move from long form notes as the basis of the case study at the end to a few variations on the paragraph. Or even to reword a section that I cant seem to find the right flow of words for or if I keep letting the sentences run long.

These examples i provided use the power of the current AI in a “local” format versus the perceived impression of GeneralAI. When used as chatGPT as GeneralAI we get misleading and incorrect data points but as it currently stands, ChatGPT is a more of Applied Statistics bot and not a Next Gen Google with complete accuracy.

I like using ChatGPT to boost my question generation abilities and to uncover local patterns but i’m not to confident in its current “Fact Ascertaining Capabilities”
