The Personal Touch: Easy Language Learning with ChatGPT
8 januari 2024 · 10 min
Today, Dietmar helps you learn languages - or at least shows you how ChatGPT can help you with it. Lees meer
For that, we look at a hack that let's you start with what you already know: similar words! Because if you start with those, you start quicker. Details about the theory you'll find in the podcast ;)
Here is the prompt, Dietmar used to generate the first part of the word set:
Dear GPT, you are now an experienced Spanish teacher with a lot of experience in both didactics and linguistics.Create a list of 100 Spanish words based on the following criterion: they are similar in spelling and/or pronunciation to English vocabulary.Rate the vocabulary according to their importance for spoken language with a value from 1 (very important) to 5 (rather unimportant). Importance in this case is defined as: frequency of use and importance of the term for basic activities and interests that a tourist might have.Here are some examples of words:- el animal: animal- el hospital: hospital- el sistema: systemPlease exclude words that are generally easy to learn but do not have a similarity to English words.Please present the results in a table with the columns: "Spanish", "English" and "Importance".
And here is the first list after using the prompts 5 times, for nouns, verbs, adverbs etc. This list, you can upload to a learning program/App like Card2Brain.
Any questions? Just write me: dietmar@argo.berlin

Could You Fall for a Robot? The Psychology of Loving Chatbots
10 oktober 2023 · 16 min
Recent headlines have explored the phenomenon of people developing real feelings for AI chatbots. This episode delves into the psychological drivers behind this trend. Even though we may consciously think of chatbots as artificial, unconscious processes in our brains can actually classify them as human and enable emotional bonding. Concepts like anthropomorphism and dual processing cognition explain why we can form attachments, despite intellectually knowing something is not human. As chatbots become more sophisticated at demonstrating emotional intelligence, illusions of intimacy and rapport make people even more susceptible to falling in love. Real-world examples show these unconscious attachments forming already. While human relationships will remain essential, the allure of perfectly responsive AI companions may be hard to resist.
