In today’s fast-paced world, career advancement has become a top priority for many individuals. With the advent of technology, various platforms are now available to help individuals achieve their career goals. One such platform is ChatGPT. The Artificial Intelligence (AI) chatbot hosted on OpenAI has become the world’s talking point. As of January 2023, it has about 100 million active users in just over a month since it launched – Instagram and TikTok can’t even compete with that – it took both platforms two-and-half years and nine months respectively to get that many users.
To contribute to a growth mindset and stay ahead of the curve, Regenesys Corporate Education hosted an incredible masterclass titled: “ChatGPT: A career boost or a career bust?” on Thursday, March 9. Many eager professionals from all manner of sectors attended to learn more about the AI Chatbot and how it could impact their careers. The evening was hosted by Kapil Jaggeth, the CEO of Regenesys Corporate Education and moderated by renowned media personality Jeremy Maggs. The keynote speaker was Brett St Clair, a rebel technologist and co-founder of Teraflow.
What is ChatGPT? What can it do and can’t do?
ChatGPT (generative pre-trained transformer), created in San Francisco, is a public-use AI chatbot powered by Large Language Model (LLM) that can debate topics ranging from computer programming to history, philosophy, and so on. Although the AI chatbot’s responses are not always accurate, it has been substantially trained on a vast collection of data and information scraped from the internet and real-time discussions. Brett supports this notion by sharing some tips during the masterclass that the AI chatbot sometime ‘hallucinates’; therefore, it is often around 90% accurate. He says, “It is just a large database of the entire internet that, when prompted, will always want to find you, the user, an answer.” He shared that the AI chatbot would increase productivity 10 times more at your workplace if you apply the 30/50/20 rule. What does this mean? Previously, employees spent 90% of their time on the heavy lifting of a task, while 10% was on perfecting the work. However, with the use of ChatGPT, a task at the workplace can be broken down into the following:- 30% spent briefing ChatGPT to heavy lift
- 50% perfection/creativity
- 20% peer review with ChatGPT
What are ChatGPT prompts?
Prompts generally are a piece of text that gives instructions to language generation models to develop a response to. Irrespective of your field of work or interests, prompts are handy for automating many language-based tasks because they will save you a lot of time. For any user to get the best out of ChatGPT, understanding how to role-play and write good prompts would give you better results and improve productivity. Brett walked the audience through the process of using ChatGPT and gave some excellent examples of how it could save us time and make our jobs easier. But he also emphasised that ChatGPT is not a magic solution to all our problems. We still need to put in the work and use technology wisely with good prompts. He emphasised that an excellent prompt must be clear and concise. It can be from ‘basic prompts’ and ‘role-based prompts’ to ‘Mega prompts’.

Overall, the ChatGPT masterclass was a resounding success. Brett St Clair was an excellent speaker; his presentation was thought-provoking and entertaining. Attendees got to learn, network, and connect with other professionals. Attendees gained valuable insights into AI and left with a better understanding of how AI could impact their careers. However, ChatGPT is not a magic solution that will automatically boost your career like any other platform. The platform is only as effective as the effort you put into it. To truly benefit from ChatGPT, individuals must be willing to put in the time and effort required to develop their skills, network with professionals, and take advantage of the resources available. Most importantly, to stay ahead in your career, take advantage of opportunities to learn about the most recent advancements in AI and machine learning.
