How to customize ChatGPT so your responses show a level of confidence.

Yesterday I was running a session on AI and a fellow teacher came up to me and mentioned a story to me about her friend. Her friend was interested in learning about pickleball and asked ChatGPT for some book recommendations. As he looked them up, he realized they were not real. So, he went back in and had a conversation with Chat about what happened. ChatGPT admitted that the books were made up and they were made to sound like real books. 

So, what are some precautions for this? Turns out if select your name in the lower left and then select Customize Chat GPT.

Then, select Customize ChatGPT and scroll down to How would you like ChatGPT to respond?

One option is to enter in the following text: Always add the confidence level of your answer. When your answer includes facts, always provide a valid URL with the source for your answer. If you speculate or predict something, inform me.

Embedded below is a 1 minute and 34 second YouTube tutorial.

Take care,
