ChatGPT: Your Pocket-Sized Zen Master 🧘

In this whimsical wisdom-sprinkled piece, we unearth the mystery of how your ever-present, ever-patient tech companion, ChatGPT, can morph into your personal pathfinder on the tranquil trails of daily meditation.

We all want that ‘Aha’ moment and a break from the daily battle of life! That’s why meditation has been a transformation tool for over a millennia!

As a lay Zen monk who meditates daily, the practice gives me balance and perspective… A serene pause from the hustle and bustle of reality…

The practice offers a cornucopia of health benefits like mental relaxation, focus, and increased patience, perspective and creativity. Not to mention the Zen vibes it brings.

When you blend meditation with ChatGPT, you have a delightful cocktail of tradition and tech guiding you to your own oasis of tranquillity.

Here’s how to connect to your digital dao!

Decoding Longevity: How AI & Wearables Could Help You Live to 120 🗝️

Get ready for a seismic shift in human lifespan well wired peeps!

The intersection of AI and wearable tech (along with lessons learned from COVID-19) may jack up your life expectancy to an astonishing 120 years in the very near future.

The research was conducted by the bright brains at Malardalen University (MDU), together with academic institutions in Finland, France, and the UK.

Published in the scientific journal Futures, the study opens the possibility of future seniors (this could be you) being as sprightly as today's 40-somethings... Insane!

When you realise that the average lifespan in 2023 is 73 years old, it makes you wonder... What would you do with another 47 ‘healthy’ years? 

Key Takeaways

  • AI and wearables are like the dynamic duo of life extension, offering real-time wellness updates and transforming your healthcare

  • Tailor-made healthcare is on the horizon. Imagine medical treatments designed to fit you like a glove, boosting efficiency and reducing the side effects found in most pharmaceuticals

AI MICRO CLASS (Prompt) 🦾

Nudge ChatGPT to Write Like You

Ever pictured using ChatGPT as another you? Like the mini me in Austin Powers, but an AI version. Ah, I see that twinkle in your eye!

Yes, there's a parade of sophisticated tools out there like Claude 2, Lex and Jasper. But my vote's still with trusty old ChatGPT.

Got a few penned pieces at hand? Perfect!

1. Upload your piece of writing (or multiple paragraphs) to ChatGPT

2. At the end at of your writing sample add “Analyse the writing style above and write about [TOPIC] in the same style as the author would write.“

3. And voila! ChatGPT will write that topic in your voice…

Here's the roadmap...

Here’s a sample of my writing that I gave ChatGPT to analyse:

Now, hold onto your hats... within about 15 seconds this is what ChatGPT wrote:

Chat GPT response

The content it spat out is still a little robotic and needs a thorough polish, but it’s pretty good for a first draft. You can then rewrite, reiterate and refine it yourself or add more prompts to get AI to help refine it for you.

It’s mind-boggling what this can do? And it all happened in a cool 15 seconds.

Absolutely bonkers! Dive in and give it a whirl!

Here’s the prompt below:

Chat GPT prompt
[Insert your text]

Analyse the writing style above and write about [topic] in the same style as the above author would write.

Key Takeaways

  • The best prompts are short and to the point

  • Grab a few different versions of your writing to give ChatGPT a good spread of your style, tone and voice. You can use this handy ChatGPT chunker tool to chunk down big swathes of text

  • Want to spice it up a bit? Blend the writing style of another author with your own, creating a delightful fusion... A word of advice - for this little experiment you'll need ChatGPT 4 and the Linkreader Plugin installed.

Chat GPT prompt
[Insert your text]

Use the link reader plugin to analyse the style of the above text and fuse it with the style of 
[author name] from [add website link]. Then, write a composition about the topic in a manner that mimics the writing style of the above author. Your response should capture the tone, language, and structure of the author's writing, while also addressing the topic in a comprehensive and engaging manner. Aim to produce a piece that seamlessly combines the styles of the two texts, creating a unique and compelling composition.
