Woman uses ChatGPT to generate prayer at service

Everyone is using ChatGPT these days for all sorts of things, but it still takes a bit of common sense to use it properly.

The introduction of ChatGPT has been a game-changer for many people. 

It has allowed them to improve their game, especially in writing. Not everyone can be the next Jane Austen or Charles Dickens, but they can surely try with ChatGPT

It's like having a voice in the palm of your hand when words fail you. But accepting help from this AI-generated system comes with an added layer of caution because sometimes, you have to watch what you read.

A perfect example of this was when a woman was leading a prayer service. When people attend religious services, we doubt they expect their spiritual leader to read their sermon or prayer from ChatGPT. 

While leading the congregation in prayer, the woman used ChatGPT's help

In the video, the woman reads her prayer from a phone, and it sounded like she was doing so well, but instead of ending it, she kept going and accidentally read ChatGPT's prompt at the end. She blurted out, "Feel free to modify this prayer or tailor it to your specific needs and benefits" before saying amen.

While ChatGPT can be an excellent resource for several tasks, it doesn't replace human judgment and should be used with a level of awareness and a verification process. 

Here are some handy tips when using ChatGPT: 

  • Understand what you are asking by being intentional and avoiding vulnerability.
  • Fact-checking is a must when using ChatGPT - verify all the information you come across. 
  • ChatGPT can be biased when revealing specific answers, and staying informed by doing your research can help. 
  • Use it as a means to elevate or enhance your work, not replace your work. 
  • Don't be naive and trusting when using any AI tool. While these may be trained to help humans, it can be a tricky affair to navigate through.
