I asked ChatGPT to Write Me a Blog Post

-

 Hey everyone!

Welcome backzo :)

I'm sure we're all familiar with the AI craze going through the charts with the introduction of ChatGPT right?

As a fellow AI enthusiast, I have spent a significant amount of time experimenting with it which gave me an idea - why not ask it to write me a mental health blog post?

Through this post, I'm going to share the response I got, and throw a little lime light on if it could replace artists once and for all.

Without further ado,
I present to you, the blog post!

Teenage years can be a challenging time for many individuals. It is a period of transition, as adolescents navigate the physical, emotional, and social changes that come with growing up. Unfortunately, this transition can also come with its fair share of stress and mental health concerns. In this blog post, we will explore some of the common mental health issues that teenagers may face and offer tips on how to support them through this critical time.

One of the most prevalent mental health concerns among teenagers is depression. According to the National Institute of Mental Health, around 11% of adolescents in the United States experience depression. Symptoms of depression can include feelings of sadness, hopelessness, and a lack of interest in activities that were once enjoyable. It is important to note that depression is not just a "phase" and should be taken seriously.

Another common mental health issue among teenagers is anxiety. Anxiety can manifest itself in various forms, such as generalized anxiety disorder, social anxiety disorder, and specific phobias. Symptoms of anxiety can include feelings of nervousness, worry, and fear. Anxiety can also affect a teenager's ability to function in school, social situations, and relationships.

Stress is also a common concern among teenagers, particularly with the pressure to perform academically and socially. Stress can lead to a host of physical and mental health problems, including anxiety and depression.

It is essential for parents, caregivers, and educators to be aware of the signs and symptoms of these mental health concerns. If you suspect that a teenager in your life is struggling with their mental health, it is important to have an open and honest conversation with them. Encourage them to seek help if they need it, and provide them with support and resources.

Some tips to support a teenager's mental health include:

- Encourage them to talk about their feelings and listen to them without judgment.

- Help them find healthy ways to cope with stress, such as exercise, meditation, or journaling.

- Encourage them to get involved in activities they enjoy, whether it's sports, music, or volunteer work.

- Help them maintain a healthy diet and sleep schedule.

- Encourage them to seek professional help if needed.

It is important to remember that mental health is just as important as physical health, and it is never too early to start paying attention to it. By being aware of the common mental health concerns that teenagers may face and providing them with support, we can help them navigate the challenging transition into adulthood.

Here are my reflections on this blog post:

1) Number one, and the most important, there's no personal touch. What makes a person appreciate creative works is the literal creativity that goes into it. And it comes from weaving in your personal experiences in a light hearted form, which needless to say, the above lacked.

2)  It looks like a school exam essay. The ones where you have to fill 'factual and fancy' words. Wouldn't call it exceptional.

3) But, on a positive note, it did generate good points for the prompt it was given:

"Write me a blog post on teenage mental health"

4) If I had to compare my style of writing to the bot, it does differ quite a lot. While my writing is more conversational, the bot worked more on providing a detailed case explanation. 

Overall, I think the bot did a great job on writing the blog post. 
(This post was in no way, shape or form a promotion or criticism of OpenAI or ChatGPT).

The future of AI certainly looks ambiguous when it comes to creative writing and other art forms.
Similar to this field! 

Drop in the 'chat' your views and thoughts on this and if you would prefer to read a bot generated article or a human one.
I love this field, so authoring this post was so fun! I hope you all enjoyed reading it as well :)
Don't forget to share and follow for more content, every Friday!

Signing off,

Kuhu :)

    i agree with your points so much - it doesn't feel like a relatable blog but rather the creative writing blogs we do in school with zero personality just info and it feels like it's written by the perspective of an outsider. also had a thought that ofc they're including US ka data as if it's assumed to be for America like we don't care at all about their stats, which obv wasn't specified but then again if you didn't specify why did it even put the data in yk. but anglocentricity aside, this was a fun post to read to see what the future of ai might be like - loved it!!

Blah Days

  Some days rule: You feel like the most productive person in the world, everything seems to go your way and life feels good; you're on Cloud 9. Some days suck: They make you feel sad and all you want to do on those days is curl up into your blanket and wait for the day to end. And some days, are simply, blah: The middle ground. Blah days are ones where you don't feel your best - something just feels off; things don't seem to snap into place and the very idea of getting it into place leaves you with lethargy. But why are they important? Why do most of us experience it, regularly? Because these, unexpectedly, are the "scariest days": they make you question your current lifestyle, your environment, your life. I don't like the above thought. Instead, I like to look at them as perspective days. Blah days are those which help you realise what you're doing with life and what your goals are. See, when you're in a state of enjoyment or morose-ness, chances are...

"I'm Traumatised"

-
Image
Recently, I was talking to a bunch of people and ranting about the Hindi syllabus of ICSE . For those who went through the system, you and I both know the struggle of reading Sukhi daali and Deepdan. For those who didn't, just be glad. The thing that irked me the most about that conversation was that they kept referring to the chapters as "traumatic." And I realised that this wasn't the first time such an incident occurred in front of me. By introspecting my conversations with people, I realised the term was trivialised, simply because they didn't know what it meant . Google defines Trauma as an emotional response caused by severe distressing events that are outside the normal range of human experiences. Take a second to read the underlined words: severe, distressing, outside normal. Trauma is a strong word. Unfortunately, it has become ubiquitous in our lexicon, applied liberally to describe an ever-widening spectrum of experiences. When you use this word in ...

The Broken Hot Chocolate Machine

 I've been in college for about over a month now. In the 40 days I've spent here, I've visited the food hall over 100 times - of which the Hot chocolate machine has been broken for over 90. Bombay's humidity was quickly replaced by Boston's "Fall" (it's winter guys) and the only thing helping me through the transition was a cup of hot chocolate every morning. But about 2 weeks in, the hot chocolate machine broke.       Initially, a piece of paper, closely stuck by tape, lay pressed against the machine: " Hot Chocolate Machine is Broken! "  4 weeks in, it's now a laminated sheet of paper, carefully stuck to the machine. Someone took the time to type it out onto a computer, print it, cut it, have it laminated, and stick it up to the machine. Do you know what they could be doing in that time? (Hint: getting the machine fixed!) This post is not about the machine. (Obviously Kuhu, it's a Mental Health blog - get to the point!) We often pro...

Mental Health Illnesses=Cool?

  Hey Everyone!! Welcome to Mental Health Awareness Month! So, we all may have a come across with at least one person in our lives who might have used the name of a mental disorder incorrectly. I've had my share too. I have seen a lot of people claim that they are "depressed" or have "anxiety" without really knowing what it is. Took me a while to understand why they said stuff like this, but when found out the reason I was appalled. To look cool, duh "Seriously?!" That was my exact reaction-in every tone imaginable. Sarcastic, shocked, surprised, amazed, aghast and what not! This very encounter is the reason why I chose to write to write on this topic and throw some light on why having a mental illness IS NOT "COOL". For starters, why would you want to diagnose yourself with something you don't have? You wouldn't do that if  it were a physical illness, right? You wouldn't say that you've gotten a fracture when its simply a spr...
