The Power of ChatGPT: The Art of Asking the Right Questions
Once, a friend of mine mentioned that the Zend PHP Framework certification exam was an open-book test. Although this claim turned out to be untrue, it got me thinking about how important it is to know the existence of certain concepts or resources so we can refer to them when needed. This idea applies not only to programming languages but also to other fields, such as law practice. In today's world, ChatGPT is like a vast bank of the world's knowledge, waiting for us to tap into it - all we need is to know how to ask the right questions.
Just like a child's curiosity and their repetitive "why" questions, it is crucial to know how to dig deeper into a topic using ChatGPT effectively. The key lies in asking the right questions and building on the responses. Let's explore some examples.
Example : Extracting KPIs for a Department in Your Company
Let's say you want to identify qualitative and quantitative KPIs for a specific department in your company. Although it might seem unusual not to know what to measure in your own department, the truth is that many people struggle with this. To make the most out of ChatGPT, it's essential to provide context before asking your questions.
First, present the following information to ChatGPT:
The main objectives of your department.
The key problems your department solves and how it solves them.
What makes your department unique compared to others in the industry.
After providing the necessary context, proceed with the following questions:
Based on the given information, what would be the best way to achieve our department's specific objectives?
What are the specific KPIs that can help us track our progress towards these objectives?
By providing context and asking targeted questions, you can extract valuable information and insights from ChatGPT. Just like knowing where to find a function in a programming language or a law in the legal system, knowing how to ask the right questions can help you unlock the full potential of ChatGPT. Start with a strong foundation and let your curiosity guide you towards meaningful conversations with this powerful AI tool.
