Pursuing the Excellent Life

Why I Thank ChatGPT: Muscle Memory For Virtue (5MF)

What if being polite to a chatbot could improve your own habits? Imagine if even your smallest interactions with AI could lead to personal growth! Welcome to an unconventional exploration of AI and habits in Live Well and Flourish. I, your host Craig Van Slyke, unearth the surprising connection between my fascination with AI chatbot, chat GPT, and my ingrained manners. Join me as I unravel how my interactions with this non-sentient software, shaped by my lifelong politeness, reflect the deep-rooted habits that contribute to my overall excellence.

Venture further as we discuss the profound power of metaphors and their role in shaping our perceptions and interactions. I reveal how my metaphor of chat GPT as a patient, knowledgeable, and non-judgmental colleague influences my behavior toward the AI. We'll also examine your metaphors and their effects on your approach to life. This unexpected dialogue promises an insightful perspective on the blend of technology and personal growth. So, prepare to reflect, learn, and perhaps even thank your own machines after this intriguing journey. Tune into Live Well and Flourish and let's traverse this fascinating path together. Remember, the pursuit of virtuous habits extends beyond humans to even our interactions with machines.
