Es grato saber de su vinculación para estrechar nuestras comunicaciones en español. A veces, en inglésno logro expresar con claridad lo que quiero preguntar. Tengo dudas que no siempre están en las ayudas de las herramientas.

Comment on ChatGPT, Wikipedia, and student writing assignments by Taco Tichelaar https://wikiedu.org/blog/2023/02/21/chatgpt-wikipedia-and-student-writing-assignments/#comment-254346 Thu, 21 Dec 2023 22:10:28 +0000 https://wikiedu.org/?p=56381#comment-254346 In June 2023, I began using ChatGPT to seek answers to various inquiries but found the responses unsatisfactory. I then shifted gears, requesting assistance in refining my English. I iteratively revised several segments, particularly focusing on financial and military history. Inquiring about preferred formatting—chapters, sections, subsections, paragraphs, or sentences—I was advised to structure content at the sentence level.

A moment that left a lasting impression was when I asked, ‘Does rasputitsa relate to the permeability of chernozem clay soil? Is rasputitsa specific to the chernozem region?’ I was convinced of its relevance, given that this connection had yet to be mentioned in the article. Subsequently, I disclosed that English isn’t my native language; I’m Dutch and an active Wikipedian. I requested text improvements in a Wikipedia-style, maintaining a business-like tone, avoiding excessive embellishments, and refraining from altering quoted text. (I was surprised that this detail wasn’t known.)

Throughout our interactions, I never sought entirely new information; rather, my goal was to enhance my English. I personally provided the text and, in the interim, made several revisions to certain introductions, albeit not entire articles. Working with ChatGPT demands a significant amount of concentration, prompting considerations on what changes were made, what remained unaltered, and whether I concurred with the modifications.
