Exploring ChatGPT: A Journey of Discovering AI’s Abilities

As someone who has always been fascinated by the capabilities of artificial intelligence (AI), I was intrigued and thrilled to stumble upon ChatGPT, a large language model developed by OpenAI. ChatGPT can respond to all sorts of questions, from factual to humorous, so I decided to put it to the test and explore its abilities.

I wanted to see what this AI-powered tool was capable of, so I started asking ChatGPT all sorts of questions, from the practical to the absurd. Overall I was impressed, how I can create fairly complex questions or discuss topics over multiple interactions while getting useful and insightful responses from ChatGPT. However, it is also noticeable that it may repeat itself, goes in circles sometimes or provides incomplete responses. I asked it to summarize my interactions with it and write this blogpost – it did write a great general summary and did a great start on more detailed sections, but some of the content in there was false.

Tipping for contactless payments?

Especially in the U.S. tipping is important. Exchange students that are here in the U.S. for a semester 0r any other visitor have to get accustomed to gratuity. Especially, when paying at a restaurant for the first time.

The international education company Education. First (EF) for example has an introductory article into tipping.

In the past tipping either happened with cash or when signing your credit card receipt. The latter requires doing some math or checking a checkbox on some of the more sophisticated receipts.

But when the pandemic hit with COVID-19 a lot of companies, including restaurants, fast food and other takeout places switched to touch-less payments — with the exception of tipping. To this day it still happens in cash, via credit card receipts or by tapping a touch screen. None of these are very hygienic as the sales person has to handle the money, receipts, pens or using the touch screen again that every customer used.
