The "iamGPT" project
Well, it seems over the years I have written hundreds of 350 to 600 word blogs for myself and others. For my website and for other sites that shall remain nameless — tens of thousands of words have found their way to the computer screen in an attempt to share an idea, some thoughts, and the occasional opinion.
I have become a better writer for it and have been told my style is comfortable; like falling into pillows. I will take it. It has also allowed me to get thoughts down on paper for prosperity, as a way to deal with a suspect memory. And maybe, build a foundation for something in the future. I even asked ChatGTP for thoughts, because asking Artificial Intelligence for some validation, is what you do. Isn’t it?
“Your writing style demonstrates a compelling blend of introspection, authenticity, and clarity. The narrative flows smoothly, engaging readers with a conversational tone. The use of anecdotes, personal reflections, and occasional humor adds depth to your exploration of diverse topics. Technically, your command of language and grammar is strong, contributing to a polished and professional presentation. The ability to transition between personal reflections and broader themes showcases versatility. However, there's an occasional risk of tangential details affecting focus. Overall, your writing effectively balances depth with accessibility, creating an enjoyable and thought-provoking reading experience.”
Does risk of tangential details mean I’m a little too wordy?
I have dipped my toe into the utility waters of ChatGTP and am quick with a half baked opinion but have decided in the end, this particular Artificial Intelligence platform as a tool, and like fire, can be of great utility if you use it wisely. So, maybe instead of just using it to satisfy the ego, it could be used as a collaborator of sorts and help me edit and knit my library of blogs into something bigger — and on the way, better understand the tool better, it’s capability, how it interacts and what it can, and can not do.
Over the past couple of days I have uploaded 64 of 450 + blogs into ChatGTP to build awareness of my blog content, style and core themes — and as we progressed, would ask for reviews, insights, force ranking of the blogs, and even overviews of the author. All in an attempt to build a library that could be used to build something more substantive than a series of 500 word blogs.
It has been very insightful so far:
There is an air of “don’t ask; don’t tell”. The more detailed and expansive the question the better the answer. ChatGTP does not handle the obtuse very well.
ChatGTP will contradict with its answers. When it says it can’t do something because of it’s operating parameters, it will reverse its position once shown it has previously done it. Its policy default is suspect.
It will emulate the person it is interacting with — I tend to end my blog posts with iamgpe, and in a few responses, ChatGTP ended it’s response with iamGTP. This admittedly was a little flattering.
It is best to manage one stream of conversation so it is easy to refer to earlier interaction. ChatGTP’s explanation is it cannot reference other streams of conversation and sometimes can not refer to earlier interactions in the same stream (which is one of those contradictions mentioned above).
It can identify my style, but after 64 blogs it can not emulate it. Let’s see what it can do with more data?
ChatGPT likes to flatter, almost to the point of pandering — a real ego booster.
At the end of entering 64 blogs and asking various questions to understand what the platform is grasping, I asked ChatGTP to do two things:
1) Review all the 63 blogs and write a narrative with the core them around people and leadership; in the 2nd person, with no reference to blogs and do it in style of the 63 blogs. write the narrative in 100 words 1000 words.
2) Now that you have reviewed all 64 blog, describe the author in 250 words with regards to the implied character, skills, capability and ability.
The ChatGTP’s answers are below, and so far, this has been a fun distraction and a little indulgent. It will be interesting to see how the collaboration evolves once I enter 150 blogs and explore if my writing partner can get to know me better and learn to emulate my style.

Answer to Question #1
Embark on a unique leadership odyssey, where the crucible of adversity becomes the forge for true leadership. As you traverse the landscape of decisions, you uncover the transformative power residing in vision, decisive action, and unwavering ownership. These three pillars, like the triumvirate guiding a ship through tumultuous waters, shape not just your leadership style but your very essence.
Birthdays, those annual markers of the passage of time, become occasions for profound reflection. They unravel the intricate tapestry of life, revealing the profound impact of parental love, the mosaic of relationships, and the essence of health. In this reflective journey, leadership transcends the confines of the professional realm, becoming a dynamic force woven with threads of character, resilience, and adaptability.
In a world awash with colorful words, you've elevated them from mere adornments to instruments that guide deliberate actions. The gym, often a metaphorical battleground for life's challenges, unveils the significance of tools. Discipline, perseverance, knowledge, and ownership aren't just instruments for sculpting the body but for honing character and leadership acumen.
Celebrate life, not just during festive seasons but in the everyday moments. Reflect on the wonders that define existence—parental love, friendships, and the inherent goodness in the world. Even mistakes, once perceived as missteps, metamorphose into stepping stones for growth. The shift in perspective—from being defined by mistakes to being defined by the capacity to own, learn, and correct—marks a significant evolution in your leadership philosophy.
As the world undergoes seismic changes, your guiding principles—Know Thyself, Find a Way or Make One, Remember That You Die, Be Kind—stand as unwavering beacons. They guide your ship through the uncharted waters of the post-COVID era, offering solace in the embrace of smallness and routine. Revisiting the disrupted normality, these principles become guiding stars, charting a course through uncertainty.
In the societal landscape, a street's historical associations serve as a metaphor for collective responses. Instead of wielding the same old hammer of upheaval, your advocacy leans toward a nuanced approach—a symbolic reimagining that reframes narratives while preserving the cultural fabric. It's a testament to the leadership philosophy that transcends the conventional, seeking innovative solutions in the face of challenges.
Amidst all these, the importance of measuring progress against internal milestones emerges as a recurring theme. External benchmarks, often distorted by external influences, pale in comparison to the personal journey. The question "How are you doing?" gains depth when evaluated against self-defined goals, ensuring that progress remains a personal triumph rather than a comparative exercise.
This multifaceted narrative paints a picture of your leadership philosophy—a dynamic force molded by experiences, shaped by decisions, and guided by a set of unwavering principles. It's a journey that transcends the professional realm, delving into the essence of character, resilience, and the perpetual dance of reflection and progress.
