Now I want you to get used to speaking or talking to ChatGPT's voice chat. A lot of people think that texting is the primary way that they interact with ChatGPT, but there's a whole voice mode, which is an alternative way to interact with it, and typing is not always the best way. And when you're talking to ChatGPT, you're talking to your computer, you're talking to your phone. I know it might feel weird at first for some people, but if it does, then just keep talking, and as you get used to it, it will start to feel more natural.
So whether you're using the website or the ChatGPT app, there's a little button you can click to start talking, and then it will start up in a moment, a small circle will appear on screen, and you will be chatting or talking to ChatGPT with your voice. When you're all done, your conversation will be turned into a text transcript, so you can refer back to anything that was said. Do this for the conversational approach, where sometimes typing is slow and tedious, and it can slow down the free flow of ideas that you might have when you're talking to somebody. And so when you're talking to ChatGPT, go back and forth and think of it as if you're talking to a person.
I know it's a digital AI, but go back and forth and, you know, just view it as though you're talking to a co-worker or a co-pilot. I know this is not Microsoft Copilot, but that's a fitting name for a co-pilot. Just think of this as your digital friend and have a conversation.
This can be especially useful for things like role-playing. If your job involves anything involving sales calls, doing presentations, or if you have a hard conversation that you need to have with a co-worker, boss, manager, or somebody, you can have ChatGPT play the other part and you can ask it for feedback on how you did. You can have it do translation.
So especially if you're learning another language, you can have it role-play with you. Let's say you're learning Spanish. You can have it be a Spanish speaker and say, you know, pretend that you're a person working in a cafe and I'm going to go in and place an order, and let's see how I do. Right?
And just speak Spanish back to me. Also, when you're learning anything, you can talk to ChatGPT, and if it tells you something and you want to learn more, ask it more in depth—just have a conversation that goes back and forth. Creativity, generating new ideas, talking through an idea you have when you're not sure it's perfect yet.
You want to refine it. You want to make it better. Talk that idea through—bounce your ideas off of ChatGPT as a sounding board.
And the idea here is that as you're getting used to speaking in a chat with ChatGPT instead of just typing, you're also getting used to this conversational mode as well. So it can actually help in your text chats too, because you're going to start to find the capabilities of AI and see what it is good at and what it is not so good at, but through a different mode. And this can be another great way to break down the barriers so that you don't have to be typing, especially if you're not the fastest typist.
This can be a great way to interact with it and you can get a lot done this way as well. So try this out. Even if you don't think it'll be useful, try it, see how it goes, and start to think, when can I use this in my job? When can I use this in my life? And how is this different from the text chats that I might be thinking of normally?
