How to Humanize ChatGPT: 6 Simple Strategies to Make AI Conversations More Natural

With the development of artificial intelligence technology, many users are looking for ways to humanize ChatGPT and make its responses more natural and emotional. Because although more and more people are starting to use ChatGPT for daily communication, work assistance and learning support. However, many users have found that although ChatGPT can quickly provide information and answers, its responses are sometimes too blunt and lack emotional and humane care. How to guide and mobilize ChatGPT through questioning to make its answers more natural and emotional is a topic worth discussing.

This article organizes the optimized question table of the most commonly used questions, and gives 6 effective questioning methods to mobilize ChatGPT, avoid its blunt responses, and let it generate more natural and emotional conversation content.

Why is the way you ask questions so important?

The quality of the answers of ChatGPT is greatly dependent on the question given by the user. Answers are guided by different ways of asking questions, and might even be very different regarding the tone, style, and emotional color of conversation. The users can directly have their desired effect on how the AI will respond by adjusting how they ask the question, being closer to human communication habits.

According to the OpenAI data, over 70% of users said that they hope ChatGPT will be able to generate human-like and emotionally rich conversations. To achieve this, what's important is the user's questioning method. By understanding how AI works and the form it responds in, the user will be able to adjust their questioning strategies in an attempt to get more natural and emotionally rich answers.

According to the data statistics, we have sorted out those questions that people usually ask in ChatGPT, and listed the best question approach for these frequently asked questions.

Maybe the question you want is not included in it. As the saying goes, "it is better to teach a man to fish than to give him a fish." Therefore, we provide 6 strategies to help you learn the basics of asking questions.

1. Use open-ended questions to elicit diverse responses

Among all the effective ways, the open-ended questions do force ChatGPT to yield much more natural and rich responses. Compared with closed questions, open-ended questions would result in more explanations, details, and context. It makes the answers given by ChatGPT more in-depth and human-like.

· Closed question: "Can you tell me how I can be more productive?"

· Open-ended question: "What do you think can help me better manage my time and energy by improving my productivity? Do you have any specific tips or suggestions?"

Open-ended questions can guide ChatGPT to give more detailed answers rather than simple "yes" or "no". This not only makes the AI's answers more natural, but also brings more emotional colors and personalized suggestions.

2. Use emotional language and situational descriptions

When users add emotional language to their questions, they can effectively mobilize ChatGPT's sensitivity to emotions and generate more empathetic answers. By describing their own emotional state, situation or mood, users can help ChatGPT understand their current emotional needs and guide AI to provide more caring and resonant answers.

· Emotional question: "I've been feeling really stressed out at work lately, and I don't know how to handle it."

· Emotional question: "I've been feeling anxious lately, and I'm having a hard time concentrating when I'm working on a heavy workload. Do you have any suggestions?"

When users clearly express their emotional needs, ChatGPT is more likely to understand and respond in a way that matches their emotions, avoiding simply providing blunt “problem-solving”answers.

3. Clearly state expectations for tone and style

If the user wants ChatGPT's answer to have a certain tone (such as warmth, humor, formality, etc.), they can specify it when asking the question. For example, you can tell ChatGPT that you want a caring, supportive, or humorous answer.

· Question example: "Please tell me how to relieve stress in a warm tone."

· Question example: "Can you use humor to help me improve my work efficiency?"

By clearly setting tone and style requirements, users can better guide ChatGPT to generate a conversation style that suits their needs and avoid single and blunt responses.

4. Ask scenario-based questions to stimulate the flexibility of ChatGPT

Putting questions into specific contexts can help ChatGPT understand the context of the question and give more targeted answers. Scenario-based questions can help AI better simulate real interpersonal communication patterns and avoid giving overly general or irrelevant answers.

· General question: "How can I improve my work efficiency?"

· Scenario-based question: "I have a lot of tasks to do every morning, but I always procrastinate. Can you give me some tips to help me start my day?"

By placing questions in specific scenarios, ChatGPT is able to adjust its response strategy based on the scenario, thereby providing more practical and targeted suggestions.

5. Use hypothetical or situational questions to elicit creative responses

Sometimes, by asking hypothetical or situational questions, users can mobilize ChatGPT to produce more creative and imaginative answers, which are often more interesting and humane, and can break from traditional template responses.

· Hypothetical question: "If I suddenly decided to change my career path one day, what advice would you give me?"

· Situational question: "Suppose I am facing an important decision at work right now and I feel very stressed. What strategies do you have to help me calm down and make a decision?"

These types of questions not only stimulate ChatGPT’s creative thinking, but also allow it to provide more emotional and human responses.

6. Pay attention to the details in your questions to inspire more resonant responses

Details are an important factor that makes ChatGPT responses appear more real and human. By adding more details when asking questions, AI can more accurately understand the context of the question and the user's needs, and thus give more personalized answers.

· Detailed question: "I've been staying up late lately and I feel a little tired. Can you tell me the benefits of going to bed early?"

· Detailed question: "I'm preparing for an important project, but I always feel a little uneasy. Is there any way to help me relax and stay focused?"

Providing more detailed question context can make ChatGPT's responses more in line with the user's actual situation and enhance emotional resonance.
