ChatGPT and cultural differences

About This Week: ChatGPT and cultural differences

In this podcast episode, we will talk about:

What is ChatGPT?

Who will embrace ChatGPT (and who will not)?

What is the future and what will come after ChatGPT?

And we'll make some other side-steps in AI-related subjects

"We still have to think as humans and not as machines."

ChatGPT and cultural differences; This is what ChatGPT said itself

"ChatGPT is a cutting-edge AI language model developed by OpenAI, designed to generate human-like text based on the input provided.

It has been trained on a vast corpus of text data and can respond to a wide range of questions and prompts with high accuracy.

However, it is important to keep in mind that as a machine, ChatGPT lacks the cultural experiences and nuances that come with being human.

Cultural differences can greatly affect how language is used and understood, so it's important to consider these differences when communicating with ChatGPT and interpreting its responses."

Douglas Herbert

About This Week's Guest Douglas Herbert

Douglas Herbert, a native New Yorker who's lived outside New York for almost 25 years.

In France, his job title at France 24, the international news channel that he joined in 2006, is "chroniqueur".

In Russia, where he launched his journalism career in the chaotic post-Soviet heyday of Boris Yeltsin, state media identified him as a "politolog": which means "political analyst".

In Britain, he is more neutrally referred to as a "commentator", while back "home" in the US, he's a mere "pundit" or - worse - "a talking head".

Douglas has lived and reported in all these places - the US, Russia, France, Britain, and the Baltic States - in a 25-year career that's been a non-stop crash course in differing approaches to journalism - and journalists - across cultures.

Along the way, he has taught a new generation of international students what it means to be an "ethical" journalist in an age of slide-rule journalistic standards and rampant disinformation.

"Things can happen as quickly as they don't happen in Russia."

Travel but keep your eyes and ears open. go travel have an open mind and speak to people. Travel with a capital T.

Read a lot but also read outside of your normal/favorite subjects.

Try to get out of your comfort zone. Do things that you normally won't do. Push the envelope a little.
