What ChatGPT Revealed About Me: A Mix of Facts and Fun

Today, ChatGPT is officially one year and 123 days old, and I have been prototyping its usage since day 1. It is an amazing and powerful tool – a great addition to your toolkit, not one to rely solely on of course. So, how does this AI language model function even work? ChatGPT generates responses based on training with lots of text data, like books, articles, and websites.

When asked about a specific person, it tries to create detailed and accurate responses using the information provided by the user. It combines details from the Internet about a person's career, achievements, and background. This process involves using the training data to make the responses as relevant and as clear as possible, based on the information it has.

Using it to look up myself was pretty cool! I found some familiar facts but also some surprising truths that I had not considered. My favorite part was that it knew I was an East Tennessee Appalachian – we are a unique and special cultural group. It even knew a lot of information that I have not shared publicly and new things that have just happened. Although some details may not have been exact, overall, they were fairly accurate. This whole experience reminded me that while AI is a powerful tool, it is always good to verify and reflect on the information it provides.

Regardless of what it says, it was a fun little exercise!
