ChatGPT: Canadians’ Go-To for Fine-Tuning Resumes and Generating Meal Plans

Canadians are increasingly turning to AI-powered tools, such as ChatGPT, to assist them in their daily lives. Developed by OpenAI, ChatGPT is an AI chatbot capable of human-like conversation and has been used by Canadians to update their resumes, summarize course material, and even generate meal plans. Beyond just saving time, Canadians like Katherine Middleton, an entrepreneur and tattoo artist, are using ChatGPT to remove parts of their job that are time-consuming and sometimes stress-inducing, and to improve their communication skills in new ways. While experts warn of the limitations of AI tools and the potential for inaccurate information, others such as Bill Archer, an associate faculty member at Royal Roads University in Victoria, are finding ChatGPT to be a valuable resource in education, allowing students to summarize scholarly articles and translate course materials. However, it is important for students not to become overly reliant on such tools and to use them to enhance their critical thinking and problem-solving skills. When used appropriately, AI tools such as ChatGPT can be a valuable resource to help individuals accomplish routine tasks more easily. However, as AI tools become more sophisticated, experts are urging individuals to proceed with caution and to continue learning about their strengths and weaknesses, while also advocating for government regulations to protect against potential risks associated with AI.
