GPT Zero

ChatGPT simplifies our existence:

· ChatGPT is accessible to all, including students with writing assignments, quizzes, and virtual tests.

· Teachers can use GPT Zero to determine if something was really written by a student.

· Perplexity measures randomness of text:

· Perplexity is a measurement of how well a language model like ChatGPT can predict a sample text.

· Higher perplexity means it is not AI written and lower perplexity means the text is likely generated by AI.

· GPTZero's usefulness needs bounding or context:

· Without bounding or context, GPTZero's perplexity score may not be as useful.

· The range of perplexity needs to be defined to determine what constitutes low and high perplexity.

· GPTZero is a filtering tool that needs to be used cautiously:

· GPTZero was good at producing scores in the range of 11 to 19 for content generated by AI.

· However, the cut off for determining AI-generated content is unclear and needs to be defined contextually.

· GPTZero should be used with supporting evidence before someone or some content can be written off.

Personal Finance II: How to Improve Personal Financial Health

In my previous post (here), I mentioned the three basic rules to improving the financial health of any individual. Now, I am going to talk about the fourth and fifth basic rules:

Fourth: Most of us spend first and then save. But this is just not the way to go about things. If you want to save money, then you have to save first and spend whatever is left after saving. First, you have to spend on yourself i.e., save money for your future requirements then spend on current requirements.

Fifth: Never depend on one source of income. Develop a second source of income regardless of whether you are in service, self employed, or running your own business. You do not know when one source will dry up. You life will be happier and more financially secure as soon as you understand this fifth basic rule and start following it.

Your second source of income could be: a part time job online or offline, income from investments, an online or offline retail store, tuitions, yoga or hobby classes, working as a part time real estate broker, blogging, becoming a member of a multi-level marketing company (such as Amway, Avon, Oriflame, RCM, Tupperware), etc. What you take up depends totally on your skills, interest, and experience. So do not wait. Start thinking...!!

One thing you should understand is that income from the second source will not start flowing in the minute you start working. It needs a lot of time, effort, and passion. And I know you have that!
