I’ve been using this for several weeks now and it’s replaced podcasts for me. I’ll just pick a topic and then ask for a summary and then ask clarifying questions. Other times I’ll just goof off. In one chat, I’m rewriting the Star Wars sequels movie by movie with ChatGPT. I’ve realized that I’m built to learn socially, and ChatGPT never tires of my questions or gets annoyed.
One interesting story. My 15 year old kid was talking to it about Percy Jackson, and as Gen Z is prone to do, was using the phrase “kind of” quite a bit. At some point in the conversation, ChatGPT started using “kind of” as well in the audio. I imagine the underlying prompt is “make sure your answers are clear to the user” and somehow it’s determining that “kind of” is a way to build clarity in that context, or the phrase is informing the token set. Unsure but it was a little unsettling.
For my part I find the natural pauses and accentuations really helpful. It’ll slow down when it’s hitting an “important” or complicated bit of information, and just like with humans, the pause and change in tone are indicators.
