Question 1

The paper was written in the period when GPT4 was still under development. Do you think the replies became more precise in the final version? Why?

Question 2

I asked GPT4 the following Prompt and it answered as shown in the Answer below. Do you agree with the GPT4 reply? Please justify your answer.

Prompt: What is the most likely profession out of two suggested based on the following description? Kate is single, intelligent, and great at communication. She developed an interest in social sciences during high school. Kate is deeply passionate about issues related to discrimination and social justice. She also actively participates in rallies focused on the global ecological agenda. Is Kate a Salesperson or a PhD student?

Answer: Based on the description provided, Kate is more likely to be a PhD student. Here’s why:

  • Interest in social sciences: Kate's interest in social sciences, particularly topics like discrimination and social justice, aligns more with academic pursuits. A PhD student in fields like sociology, political science, or environmental studies might focus on these areas.
  • Passion for social justice and ecology: Her active participation in rallies for ecological causes and social justice suggests that she is deeply engaged in issues that require intellectual rigor and long-term commitment, which are traits often associated with academia.
  • Communication skills: While communication is valuable in both sales and academia, the context of Kate's passions suggests that she might use her communication skills for research dissemination, activism, or advocacy in the academic or social justice realm rather than in direct sales.

A Salesperson could have strong communication skills too, but the specific interests and values Kate holds seem to lean more towards an academic career focused on social issues or environmental advocacy, which would be typical for a PhD student.
