The Problem – GIGO
NOTE: The purpose of the next few lessons is to help you use AI to get better results from your thinking.

Let’s get started. The written conversation in the next few lessons is between myself and ChatGPT …
Lesson 20 DFQ: What is the most interesting idea, or insight, you personally discerned from this lesson?
Next Lesson: Garbage Prompts
GIGO requires the questions be without bias and wthout ambiguity. That may become a challenge given the misinformation about misinformation that may be prevelant in queries to AI. Did I just state garbage?
knowledge to skill – such a simple yet powerful idea
I’d like to try and design an interface template for ChatGPT for specific tasks like creating a social media post or writing lesson summaries, so make sure we’re getting quality inputs.
poor quality biased and incorrect input will lead to flawed output
Ask questions that are clear concise and precise and provide context to ensure best quality answers
The more detailed and specific the request, the more quality the output. Let us train this ChatGPT to use parallel thinking to enhance our own parallel thinking. Let us train the trainer.
One insight, amongst others, is the reference to “bias”. I need to take care in writing my question to be aware of unconscious bias and in the GPT response, read for possible bias.
I should be careful and not accept that ChatGP will be an authoritative source as it may reflect my own biases. However it should be a good source of alternate viewpoints and flesh out areas to consider.
That: I should always feed ChatGPT with accurate information in order to receive an accurate reply.
Shame on me. I had not thought about the process of GIGO when using ChatGPT. I need to think through what I’m REALLY asking and stay away from the ‘ordinary’. This will take retraining on my part… and I expect it will be totally worth it!
The most interesting idea was GIGO. I’m thinking how to get better at asking ChatGTP questions.
