Unlocking Subtle Potentials: Tiny Applications of ChatGPT – A Fresh Approach to Grammar and Style Checks

I have been using Pro Writing Aid for grammar and style checking. It has some idiosyncracies but is quite good for grammar and style checks.

I was curious to see whether I could use the ChatGPT.

Can you help me with the grammar and style of the following text? “I was invited to collaboratively contribute to a post on LinkedIn a couple of days ago. I am not an expert but went there to look there anyway. Here are the templates. What templates can help you create a product development roadmap?”

ChatGPT
Certainly! Here’s a revised version of your text with improved grammar and style:

“I was invited to contribute collaboratively to a post on LinkedIn a couple of days ago. While I’m not an expert, I decided to take a look anyway. Here are some templates: Which templates can assist you in creating a product development roadmap?”

These changes help enhance clarity and flow. If you have any further questions or if there’s anything else you’d like assistance with, feel free to let me know!

Next, I asked ChatGPT to explain the changes.

Certainly! Here’s a revised version of your text with improved grammar and style:

“I was invited to contribute collaboratively to a post on LinkedIn a couple of days ago. While I’m not an expert, I decided to take a look anyway. Here are some templates: Which templates can assist you in creating a product development roadmap?”

These changes help enhance clarity and flow. If you have any further questions or if there’s anything else you’d like assistance with, feel free to let me know!

ChatGPT

Certainly! Let me break down the changes I made in your text:

  1. “I was invited to collaboratively contribute to a post on LinkedIn a couple of days ago.”
    • I restructured the sentence slightly for better flow: “I was invited to contribute collaboratively to a post on LinkedIn a couple of days ago.”
  2. “I am not an expert but went there to look there anyway.”
    • I replaced “but went there to look there” with “while I’m not an expert, I decided to take a look anyway.” This change provides a smoother transition and maintains a more formal tone.
  3. “Here are the templates. What templates can help you create a product development roadmap?”
    • I combined these sentences for conciseness and clarity: “Here are some templates: Which templates can assist you in creating a product development roadmap?”

The adjustments aim to improve overall readability and coherence in the text. If you have any specific questions about these changes or if there’s anything else you’d like assistance with, feel free to let me know!

This is much more than what other products do and I think I can improve ChatGPT with prompts and finetuning to suit my technical writing.
