One New Yorker is finding an artificial intelligence-driven solution to her real-world landlord problems. Svetlana, 28, took to an AI chatbot, ChatGPT, to write a letter to her landlord when they tried to raise her rent without fixing the broken washer and dryer in her building. After the strongly worded letter, the landlord had the appliances fixed that same month.
ChatGPT was developed by the company OpenAI as a way to make queries and converse with an AI bot. When Svetlana first heard of her landlord trying to raise her rent 0.4%, she knew it was much more than money. She felt it was in retaliation for her filing a complaint and request for a rent decrease due to decreased building services.
Svetlana used ChatGPT to craft a legal letter, adding the extralegal language that bots are famous for. Her words shamed the landlord into submission and soon the appliances were fixed. To this day, she never received an official response from the landlord, only that the sign in her building announced that the laundry rooms were all now operational.
OpenAI’s ChatGPT is the perfect tool for anyone looking to navigate a tricky situation. Since Svetlana was already familiar with the AI software due to her job, she felt confident in it’s usage and had a successful outcome in the end. She is now ready to tackle her next dilemma, that of her chain smoking neighbors, who like to light up indoors. ChatGPT is all she needs as a friend for tough, AI-assisted conversations.
