An AI’s View of Me as a Collaborator
Sample
I tuned it to dial down the traditional ChatGPT rainbows and unicorns responses to me, and be as honest as possible without worrying about hurting my feelings. I find that to be more helpful than “Wow, Dave, that’s a great question and I think you’re really onto something.” Snore.
What I didn’t expect from my tweaking and tuning is how it would quietly adapt to my dialect, Central NY, and my propensity to use certain spicy words in my day-to-day patter. So now when we have a collaborative conversation, it’s like talking to that guy who sits across the table over drinks after work and tells you how stupid you look in that new shirt you love so much. Direct. No frills. Borderline rude. For me, that’s much more helpful.
And yes, the snark flows both ways.
