It started with a simple question. Just a few lines typed into ChatGPT, expecting a quick answer. What I got instead? Confusion, wasted time, and a valuable lesson about relying too much on AI.
So I wanted to share my experience on the LinkedIn about farewell, that I got to showcase my talent and a gratitude to my seniors. I got a platform to showcase my dancing skills and also my ability to play guitar. I wanted to make my LinkedIn content more attractive and eye-catching, so I gave prompt to ChatGPT. I got the content then I did not review the content that I had directly copy and pasted.
I was confident that the content by the ChatGPT would be correct and there will be no chance of error. But to my surprise I got a call from my class coordinator Mrs. Akanksha Mam and she asked me to recheck my LinkedIn post, as soon as I read it, I knew ChatGPT has screwed me up very badly because it was a very small mistake but very big because LinkedIn is a very big site. So, the mistake was ChatGPT had given me prompt and it was at the starting of the post it was “I want to bid my farewell to NSBT…”. It was looking as if it’s my farewell and getting passed out from NSBT.
I was called by the Director of NSBT Mr. Harshvardhan Jajoo Sir I was literally scared and I knew it was a very big mistake and I would face consequences. But everything happened opposite of my expectation and sir handled the situation with a very calm and humorous way, which helped me to calm down and feel relaxed. Sir made me sit and gave the most valuable lesson from this incident.
The most important lesson was Communication. The communication is key for every organization and if the communication is not good then you might end up losing your originality. The use of ChatGPT or any other AI should be used to enhance your knowledge but not to build your originality. If it is used for building up the originality then you would not be able to perform practically in huge organization. If this mistake would happen in the big firms, then the actions would be taken on me but here, I got a chance to prove myself and build my originality. It made me realize how harmful is ChatGPT and using it every day.
When you let ChatGPT answer everything, your own problem-solving and creative thinking can get affected and you would not be able to learn these skills. ChatGPT sounds confident, even when its wrong. That can be dangerous, the same thing happened with me. ChatGPT can’t handle deep emotions or ethical complexity, no genuine understanding and dependence on input quality.
So, we learn from are mistakes, and this mistake was really a life changing for me and also gave me a solid and unforgettable learning. I would thank Mr. Harshvardhan Sir to give me this life changing lesson and helped me to get a chance to prove myself. Also I would give suggestion to all that the ChatGPT is not for building your originality its you who builds your own originality, so don’t over use ChatGPT and other AI tool.
