Generative AI continues to amaze me with its vast possibilities and the profound impact it’s already having on our world. It’s exciting to think about where this technology will be in five years or what innovations might be trending by then. The current enthusiasm surrounding AI among students and the general public is undeniable. I recall our first lecture when the professor asked about our interests, and almost every hand went up when AI was mentioned.
This enthusiasm resonates with my own experiences. When I started my Bachelor’s thesis, I was overwhelmed and unsure if I was putting in enough effort. I felt stuck, with so many questions and no clear direction. My supervisor, noticing my struggle, encouraged me to use ChatGPT. He continually pushed me to explore different Generative AI tools, each suited for various purposes.
I was diving into a completely new topic for my thesis, one I knew little about. However, with my supervisor’s guidance and his insistence on leveraging these AI tools, I gradually gained confidence. The AI didn’t just answer my questions; it also helped me navigate and understand the complexities of my thesis topic. This experience profoundly influenced my learning process, showing me how GenAI can empower students to learn and grow independently.
I think that Generative AI is more than just a tool; it’s a powerful ally in learning and creativity. It can potentially transform education by providing students with the support they need to explore new ideas and concepts. However, like any tool, its effectiveness depends on how we use it.
These days, I find myself turning to ChatGPT quite frequently. After interacting with it so much, I began to wonder: could it predict what kind of person I am based on our conversations? Out of curiosity, I asked it directly. Here’s the response I received:
Although the description touched on a few aspects of my personality, it felt a bit vague. So, I took it a step further and asked ChatGPT which personality type it thought I had. It guessed either ENTJ or INTJ:
For those unfamiliar with the 16 Personalities test, here’s the link if you’re interested: https://www.16personalities.com/. Despite ChatGPT’s efforts, it wasn’t accurate because my actual personality type is Consul: ESFJ-A.
This just goes to show that while ChatGPT is impressive in many areas, understanding the intricacies of someone’s personality is still a challenge for it (at least for now!).
Thank you for sharing your personal experience! It’s great to hear that you’ve gained confidence in using AI as a tool and even see it as an ally. I have used ChatGPT as a sparring partner for creative ideas. In the beginning, I wasn’t sure how to ask the right questions, but by learning from friends who use it for their business, I gained confidence as well. I’m not a prompt engineer yet, but I’ve drastically improved in using it to come up with more structured and creative ideas. Regarding how it assessed my personality, I took the personality test. According to ChatGPT, I “seem to have a personality that blends a love for both activity and relaxation, with a strong appreciation for social connections,” identifying me as either an ENFP or ESFP type. Based on the test, however, I came out as an ENTJ (A). While it was in the right direction, I agree with you that understanding the intricacies of someone’s personality is still a challenge (at the moment).
Hi Francois,
Thankyou for your comment! Yes it is definitely really interesting to see how different prompts or small adaptations can have a huge impact on the outcome of ChatGPT. I also am sometimes still struggling with this.
Really cool that you also took the time to do the test and also had similar results to me. ChatGPT has a broad idea of who you are, but doesn’t yet know everything about you. Maybe also for the better!
