I have not always been a good communicator in some arears of my life and have in the last few years concentrated on improving my communication skills, both speaking and listening.

Since I have started using ChatGPT and other Ai it has become evident to me that clear and concise communication is crucial when interacting with Ai, as it ensures that the information exchanged is accurate and relevant. Additionally, asking the right questions and actively listening to the Ai’s responses can lead to a more fruitful and meaningful interaction. When I asked ChatGPT how best to communicate with it, it answered by saying that “it responds better to precise input, this means organising your ideas and requesting them accurately”, and by carefully listening to the responses.” Nothing new here, but I know I don’t do it consistently!

It is a machine; it does not know me, cannot see me, and does not (yet) know how and what I think. However, by practicing effective communication with AI, I am sure I can develop better basic skills that improve my overall communication. The discipline of organizing my thoughts, asking focused questions, and carefully listening to responses will enhance my clarity, precision, and understanding. These skills can be carried forward into my everyday conversations and written work, allowing me to express myself more effectively and build better connections with others.
