The value of GIGO is that it gives you a personal strategy when you think about and approach the issue of AI. It allows you to go beyond fear and confusion. The GIGO strategy (Garbage In Garbage Out) puts you back in the driver’s seat.
To continue the metaphor, AI is like a very powerful car, say a Lamborghini. But you are the driver. If you have good driving skills then you can be very effective but if the driver has poor skills or is distracted by a smartphone etc, then the result can be disastrous.

‘ChatGPT prompts must be consciously bias-free.’ That’s the one. Because we assume our questions are neutral — but they’re usually loaded before we’ve typed a single word.
The ChatGPT prompts but be consciously bias-free, or the machine will learn and adopt that bias, to the detriment of the user.
“The qualify of the answers received from ChatGPT depends on the quality of the questions asked and the knowledge and expertise of the user in interpreting and applying the answers received.”
“The quality of the answers received from ChatGPT depends on the quality of the questions asked and the knowledge and expertise of the user in interpreting and applying the responses received.”
Foy us weaker thinkers maybe ask ChatGPT for a list of 10 GBB human prompts that ellicit higher quality output. Then apply critical thinking (and testing) to determine if the responses to the better list are indeed accurate and unbiased.
The knowledge and expertise of the user that is interpretating and applying the responses from ChatGPT, is just as important as the questions asked to ChatGPT. (Even if you formulate good strong questions, if you’re not able to think critically about the responses and fact check them you’re going to land in hot water).
“The quality of the answer’s received from ChatGDP depends on the quality of the questions asked and the knowledge and expertise of the user in interpreting and applying response received”.
Users with weaker thinking skills may have difficulty in formulating clear and relevant questions, may misinterpret or misapply the information provided, or may fail to critically evaluate the accuracy and credibility of the responses.
