ChatGPT vs people: Giving the AI chatbot & our crew 6 prompts to see who writes higher

Ever since synthetic intelligence (AI) turned an accessible actuality to many people, it’s been simpler to determine its professionals and cons. 

For instance, some professionals embrace voice-assisted AI serving to in monitoring wished criminals and performing tedious duties. On the flip aspect, AI also can make hacking and kidnapping simpler, whereas additionally contributing to the widening of socioeconomic inequality. 

In the case of the workforce although, one main query that’s on everybody’s thoughts is that this—will AI ultimately take over our jobs?

We’re no strangers to ChatGPT (learn our previous articles on it right here), so we’re conscious of how simply it might probably push out “artistic” content material on behalf of customers. It may code, it might probably write, it might probably enable you brainstorm… the checklist goes on. The probabilities appear countless.

Curious to see how it might arise towards a few of our personal fundamental editorial processes at Vulcan Put up, we pitted ChatGPT towards our a few of our editorial crew.

Let’s get began

The individuals are: 

1. Sade, our editor
2. Claudia, our author
3. ChatGPT, OpenAI’s chatbot

All three of them got six of the identical prompts, which look into totally different elements of our editorial course of. Their solutions and the time taken to reply have been recorded. 

Since I facilitated this little experiment, I already know whose solutions are what, and have my very own opinions about them that I’ll share afterward.

To make this extra enjoyable for the readers although, we’re going to allow you to select which one you assume is generated by ChatGPT. The solutions will likely be revealed on the finish of every immediate.

Are you prepared?

Then they discovered a remedy. It’s manufactured from mangosteen. The fruit might be present in Malaysia. Research say it has medicinal properties, in order that they created their very own medication.

So, how did they fare?

Though this experiment is moderately easy compared to different extra elaborate analysis, it does give us a greater understanding of what AI really brings to the desk, no less than in artistic jobs.

By way of timing, ChatGPT is immensely sooner than our editorial crew as a consequence of its fast entry to the obtainable data on-line. It took just a little longer to reply a number of the extra detailed prompts, however nonetheless had us beat. We’re undecided whether or not these occasions have been longer as a result of servers being too busy although.

As for its writing, we’ve to confess that it’s truthfully not unhealthy. It’s fairly good, even, in comparison with the typical writing high quality of a recent graduate/younger skilled (primarily based on our personal observations). However we will’t say it’s adequate to take over our jobs at Vulcan Put up but. 

It’s possible you’ll get considerably totally different solutions by feeding ChatGPT the identical immediate throughout numerous occasions, but it surely nonetheless lacks core elements that make us people—feelings and demanding considering.

Take the final immediate for instance. Claudia’s reply has extra soul and makes readers really feel extra linked to the story, but doesn’t sound as tryhard as ChatGPT’s. In the meantime, Sade’s response to the fourth immediate had extra depth than ChatGPT’s surface-level solutions.

Trying on the third immediate although, I’ll admit that it’s just a little scary how ChatGPT can seamlessly use “my” and “I” in its writing too, making it tougher to pin.

From this experiment, the general verdict is, no, the Vulcan Put up editorial crew doesn’t want to fret about having their jobs stolen by ChatGPT but.

ChatGPT offers an ideal beginning framework for kickstarting or enhancing concepts, and that’s one thing that creatives can leverage neatly.
