Ask Us ANYTHING: 3 NEW ChatGPT Tricks! + 🫨Should Jay Move to Japan?🫨 | Ep. 415

Jay Schwedelson: we are back for Ask us anything from the do this, not that podcast presented by Marigold. You know, normally we release this, ask us anything on Wednesdays, but we're trying it out on Fridays. We're mixing it up. It's always about testing to see what people like and when. And so thanks for sticking with us.

Jay Schwedelson: And uh, if you've never heard this episode, what we do here is we get questions in all week long. We get in word questions, we get in absolutely ridiculous questions and we try to tackle. One of each. And if you wanna submit a question, you can go to jay sch wetson.com. There's a button that says podcast, another one that says, ask us anything.

Jay Schwedelson: We love the questions. And we got some audio questions in this week, so we're gonna try to tackle those. So let's go to the work question before the ridiculous question. Here we go.

Jessica: Jessica from Denver. What's your second favorite thing about ai?

Jay Schwedelson: Alright, Jessica from Denver. That's an interesting question. What is my second favorite thing about ai? Um, well I'm gonna tell you right now what are three things so that way the second one fits in there somewhere. What are three things that you can do on AI that you should be doing on AI that maybe you're not, like some quick tip trick things that are actually kind of a game changer.

Jay Schwedelson: The first one is a little bit frustrating. You may or may not realize this. Everybody knows that when you go to chat, GBT or whatever, uh, they'll give you hallucinations, they'll give you answers that aren't necessarily real. Uh, even if they give you a stat. People don't realize when you get a stat. Back from, let's say Cha GPT, it says 34% of people, ba blah, blah, whatever industry you're in, it sounds very official.

Jay Schwedelson: Sometimes it even says a source. You know, 34% of people from Acme Company according to whatever study, blah, blah, blah. And you're like, wow, that sounds real. And then you put it in a slide deck, you present it. And guess what? It wasn't real. And how do I know that? Because I've gotten burned in presentations before.

Jay Schwedelson: And so here's the wild stat, and I'll tell you what you gotta do. Um, this is real, and this is actually ironically verified according to chat GPT itself, that up to 50% on average, over 30%, so between 30 and 50% of stats. New items and niche details that are provided back on chae are inferred and they're not necessarily accurate or real.

Jay Schwedelson: So what does that mean? That means basically on average, about half the stuff that you get back from Chae is just made up. It's just completely made up. So that's annoying. So what do you do about that? When you're looking for any real information on Chacha Petit, this is all you gotta do and this is what you should do every single time you say, oh, what's the, uh, latest stat on whatever, or what's the, uh, average, whatever.

Jay Schwedelson: And then you say, in that same prompt, only give me. Verified answers that are 100% not inferred and provide exact source. The key thing there are verified answers and that it's not inferred because if you don't tell it to stop inferring, it does infer it infers by default. So you wanna be doing this on everything that you asked Chad, GBT, that you're asking it to not infer.

Jay Schwedelson: Okay. Now the other quick tip is, the second quick tip is the fact that I have no idea how to prompt, right? I'm not the greatest prompt writer. You know, you go to the bar and you write whatever you wanna write and you keep messing around with, is this one good? How do I really get it to be so good? Who knows?

Jay Schwedelson: Right. There's a simple way around that. Okay. All you have to do, instead of trying to come up with the right prompt, what you wanna do is you wanna ask Chacha, BT what the prompt is. What does that mean? So whatever it is that you wanna do, I wanna make muffins, okay? I wanna get my email open rate higher. I wanna make a business plan for my a plumbing bus, whatever.

Jay Schwedelson: You wanna do, you go to Chachi PT and you say, I want to do, and then you put it in there. I want to do this. Write me the perfect Chachi PT prompt for this with exact wording, format, and style, and then it will give you the prompt. For you then to use to get the result information instructions thing that you want.

Jay Schwedelson: Stop trying to create the best prompt and ask chat JT what is the best prompt? That's it. Alright, the last one, and this one's kind of like not used a lot and I think it's an epic fail. One of the big benefits and this on, everything's on the free version of chatt or any of the other free versions of any other tools, but I like chatt.

Jay Schwedelson: One of the benefits of Chat GT now chatt five is that it can go out and get realtime information, okay? And the reason that you need to make sure that you're asking for kind of this realtime information is, uh, and this is per chat gt. This is confirmed. If you don't put in a time period with whatever it is you're asking, chat g.

Jay Schwedelson: If you say, I want the, you know, the latest metrics in the healthcare industry about social media posts on LinkedIn after 4:00 PM and make sure it's all happening within the last 12 months or whatever. If you don't put a time period in your prompt, what happens is it's giving you old data. So chat GT is, this is based on their themselves.

Jay Schwedelson: They say on average, if you don't include a time period in your prompt. The data you get back on average, especially in the marketing category, is at least 12 months old. So anytime you're getting the stats or information or tactics or whatever back, if you don't ask chat GT for a time period in your prompt, this stuff is out of date.

Jay Schwedelson: It is old. So when you do go and you ask Chate something like, so for example, I'm such a loser. I'm not kidding. I asked Chacha, BT about pop culture stuff. So I go on Chacha, BT, and I say this, show me the top five pop culture trends in the last seven days that people are talking about. And that last seven days is key.

Jay Schwedelson: You could say, show me, uh, the direct to consumer marketing tactics that are working the best in the last 60 days. Show me in the nonprofit sector, what are the call to action buttons that are performing the best in the last six months? You must give it a time period now. If you don't, you are just getting back old information.

Jay Schwedelson: It's a simple trick. That enough, not enough people are doing. Alright, let's get to the ridiculous portion of the podcast. We have another audio question coming in. Let's hear what it is.

Shay: Hi Jade, this is Shay from Guam. Would you rather leave in Guam or would you rather stay here in San Francisco? Hi.

Jay Schwedelson: Shay from Guam, uh, would I rather live in Guam or San Francisco? Okay, well. I've done no research on this, so I've never been to Guam. If you and I, this is so rude, but if you forced me and said, where is Guam on a map and you took off all the labels, I would give it a 0% chance I could find Guam. I miss you though.

Jay Schwedelson: You're a wonderful person. I wanna come visit you in Guam. I just don't know where it's, uh, San Francisco. I don't wanna live in San Francisco. Nah, I'm nothing against San Francisco. Um, I'll tell you some places I would and would not wanna live. So not that you asked. So I'll tell you where I don't wanna live.

Jay Schwedelson: I don't wanna live any place that is known for something annoying. So for example, like, um, I don't wanna live in Scranton, Pennsylvania at all. Why? Uh, because it's known, uh, as the setting for the show, the office. That to me is annoying. 'cause then anytime people visit or they ask you where you're from and you say, I'm from Scranton, Pennsylvania, they're like, oh, are you friends with Jim or Pam from the office?

Jay Schwedelson: Ha ha ha ha. It's like, uh, oh, do you have a Dunder Mifflin uh, shirt? It's annoying. So I don't wanna do that. 'cause my entire life I don't want to answer questions about like, or, or if you're from like Roswell, New Mexico. Because that's like where all the alien stuff is, like the alien sightings or whatever.

Jay Schwedelson: How annoying must it be to live in Roswell, New Mexico? If you go to like the diner to go eat, I guarantee you on the menu of every restaurant is like alien shaped pancakes. I can't, I can't handle like an entire, where I live, everything to be about the thing that I don't even care about. Like who cares if they're aliens?

Jay Schwedelson: Great. Come hang out with me. I need new friends. Um, where would I wanna live? Um, I would wanna live in Japan. This is not a flex. I've been to Japan a couple times. It is. The greatest place on Earth. Why? I'll give you a couple reasons why. Number one, nobody talks to each other. Amazing. So like when you go on the train, you're not gonna deal with somebody trying to talk to you.

Jay Schwedelson: They don't do it. They will not talk to you. Amazing. I, I channel that wherever I go. I love that. First of all, they also have vending machines. Like in the United States we have vending machines, like, oh, you wanna get a soda? Okay, great. They have vending machines there where you can get like ramen soup or, or, or a tie if you're missing a tie or underwear.

Jay Schwedelson: I mean, their vending machines are wild and the toilets in Japan are. Incredible. They, I mean, I don't know if I've ever broke down toilets on the show, but they have, you know, all these buttons you could, you know, warm your toilets, eat, it sprays out all this water stuff. It plays music if you wanted to. Oh, there's so many wonderful things there.

Jay Schwedelson: And, um, I wouldn't be a slob because when you go and you order food at a restaurant there, the portion sizes are like for a human. They're not for a cow. Okay? So you get 'em, um, the amount of food, if you wanna eat it all, great. You don't wind up looking like Job of the hut. Right. It's amazing. 'cause they don't give you so much food.

Jay Schwedelson: Uh, it it, it's awesome. What am I talking about? I don't know. Listen, you're awesome. Let's all move to Japan. Uh, a few things. Number one, if you're not registered for Guru Conference, you stink. And I don't like you because we are working so hard on this thing, right? We have Nicole Kidman, we have Lance Bass, we have a major announcement.

Jay Schwedelson: We even told you another celebrity's coming. We are almost outta these virtual seats. I keep saying that, but nobody believes me. But it's true because we only buy a certain amount and they're free. This thing's November 6th and seventh. You go to guru conference.com. What are you doing? Register And if you leave this thing, review.

Jay Schwedelson: Or you real leave a comment on Spotify. I'll answer it. We need the reviews and whatever 'cause it circulates the show and we could share more nonsense and the world needs more nonsense. You're very awesome. I appreciate you and keep it real.
