The emergence of artificial intelligence (AI) has the potential to revolutionize the way publishers write articles and engage with communities. ChatGPT uses machine learning techniques to generate human-like responses to inputs, allowing it to have simulated “conversations” on various topics; you type in a question or instructions, and it replies. The use of ChatGPT creates some passionate conversations with very diverse points of view.
While we have yet to determine what the full impact ChatGPT, or other AI, will have on media organization and journalism, there are several ways that newsrooms have been experimenting with this tool to help inspire daily operational activities. ChatGPT analyzes vast amounts of data to provide insightful and unique perspectives on various topics. One of its advantages is its ability to provide publishers with an endless stream of ideas for their articles. This can be especially beneficial for publishers looking for a fun new way to reinvigorate those who temporarily struggle with writer’s block or momentarily lack inspiration.
Additionally, ChatGPT can help publishers generate content in multiple languages, which is particularly useful in today’s globalized world. By leveraging ChatGPT, publishers can easily translate their articles into different languages, reaching a wider audience and boosting their readership.
While using ChatGPT to generate full-fledged content is still up in the air, using the tool to reduce the workload of your editorial team by having it create polls or comments is very exciting!
Simple ways to use ChatGPT to create polls
In this case, you ask ChatGPT to create a poll and a defined number of responses on your chosen topic. The more detail you provide around your subject, the better and more relevant the output provided by ChatGPT responses will be:
Simple instructions can provide some exciting options, but there may be character count issues if you have limited space..
To address character count issues, an option is to ask essentially the same question but to define the subject, character counts, and type of response that is required:
Use ChatGPT to create a poll for an article
You can start creating a poll by providing ChatGPT with some simple instructions, like asking it to “read “ the article and create a poll:
The limitation of this type of poll is that depending on the article’s complexity, ChatGPT might give you more or fewer options than you require, and it might need to be made aware of any character limitations you might have.
Another alternative would be to ask ChatGPT to create a poll for an article but, again, to define the type of output you are looking for:
These options provide quick and easy solutions to creating polls on your sites.
Break the ice and use ChatGPT to create a Comment
First comments are critical to engaging your community. Using ChatGPT to start the conversation is easy. You could begin by simply asking it to create a comment as below:
By being general in your ask, you can get a thought-provoking response, but it might be too long for what you had in mind. Perhaps a better alternative is to ask the same question but dictate the length of the response:
