ChatGPT is a revolutionary tool in many fields, and among them we find its function of gathering and exposing news sources if we want to save substantial time in our daily search for information to be aware of what is happening in the world and in the topics of our interest.
Even so, the quality of the information that our intelligent assistant can vary depending on the quality of the chosen sources. And although there is no complete control over the search method by said AI for news, we can limit the precision and relevance when obtaining reliable information.
How to increase the quality of information
First of all, the first orders that we can give to the AI can be to clearly specify the type of source on which we want it to base itself when informing us. For example, we can ask you to go to sources from official organizations, such as the BOE, to university academic publications or to the main references of general daily information such as El País.
As you can see, it is a pragmatic approach if you are looking for quality information. Just as we have looked for the reference of Spanish media, it can be useful for any desired field of information.
Another effective alternative can be to use specific quotes and references. If you specifically request appointments from official or trusted authorities, OpenAI’s AI will execute the order to suit you.
If, for example, we are basing our work on the work of Sigmund Freud, we can ask him to go to verified sources that provide complete texts about his different texts. This provides an added reliability bias to ensure that we are not turning to sources of dubious origin.
An added strategy to further refine the veracity of our information sources is to ask our assistant to provide the most up-to-date information possible. If we indicate a specific period of time, such as a year, a month or a week, its search algorithm will discard any news that falls outside of those time parameters. An example of this could be if you search for news about the most powerful hardware released in the last six months. ChatGPT will use this time filter to refine the search for information and make it available to you with this new parameter.
Despite these effective techniques, ChatGPT is an assistant that adapts to your prompts, so there is no set of pre-established commands that can yield a perfect result. Our preferences are adjusted individually for each user, which is why you can always ask them to recalibrate certain settings if you think you can add another layer of preferences to the information the app shares.
As a personal trick, you can always ask him for references based on Google Scholar or PubMed, for academic research and health-related topics, respectively.
Used intelligently, the artificial intelligence tool can yield impressive results that previously would have taken us years to compile. If you structure your queries efficiently and in detail, the tool has the ability to share quality data with you, and thus you will be able to exploit its potential in an optimized way.
