Why ChatGPT is still useful despite these mistakes
ChatGPT is still useful despite these mistakes, as long as you know where its limits are. You now know that the model predicts likely text, does not check itself and presents everything in the same confident tone. That does not make it an unreliable tool. It makes it a tool that comes with a user manual.
That user manual has three parts: choosing the right tasks, giving the right instructions and building in a check before anything leaves your desk. Apply it to one task and you will notice the difference straight away. Apply it to recurring work and you have a way of working.
The eight modules of the full course
The eight modules of the full ChatGPT course build exactly that way of working in eight to nine hours, including practical assignments based on your own work:
- How ChatGPT works and fails, so you know when to distrust the output
- Choosing the right use case: which tasks save time and which you are better off doing yourself
- The five elements of a usable prompt: role, context, goal, output and criteria
- Building a workflow, in which you combine several steps with checkpoints into a single work process
- Quality control with five check questions that catch errors before they reach your work
- Embedding your approach with ChatGPT Projects, so your way of working becomes repeatable
- Making your way of working transferable, so a colleague can take over your Project
- Agentic work with ChatGPT Work, in which you hand over a task with a task brief and check afterwards what happened
Each module includes practical assignments based on your own work, knowledge checks with instant feedback and transfer questions. You finish with a final assignment and receive a certificate in your name. You do not submit the assignments anywhere for assessment, so confidential work stays within your own environment.
