When People Love What chatGPT Provides… But Not That It Comes from chatGPT

Published on October 23, 2021

As Mark Twain once said, "It's easier to fool people than to convince them that they have been fooled." This statement resonates with many aspects of our lives, including our experiences with artificial intelligence platforms like chatGPT.

Imagine being in a situation where people admire the work you produce using chatGPT, without realizing that a significant portion of it is generated through prompts given to the AI. It's an interesting predicament that raises questions about perception, authenticity, and the role of AI in our lives.

I personally encountered this phenomenon in various aspects of my life – from school and work to conversations in online chat rooms, social media platforms, and even Reddit. People genuinely appreciate the digital output I provide them, not knowing that approximately 95% of it originates from well-crafted prompts I feed into ChatGPT Plus.

However, there was one incident where I decided to reveal the secret to a friend who marveled at how quickly I completed my tasks. Unfortunately, instead of acknowledging the efficiency and potential of AI technology, my friend reacted negatively, dismissing it as fake or cheating.

Have you experienced a similar situation? It's fascinating how individuals can appreciate the output from AI without knowing its origin, only to react negatively when they discover the truth. This raises several important questions:

  1. What leads people to value the output of AI but reject its method?
  2. Does the perception of AI being "fake" stem from a lack of understanding or fear of technological progress?
  3. How can we bridge this gap in perception and foster acceptance of AI as a valuable tool rather than a threat?

Understanding these dynamics is crucial for both users and developers of AI technology. As AI becomes increasingly integrated into our daily lives, it is essential to address these concerns and facilitate open discussions.
