yeah so if you genuinely don't know how to write an email instead of using chatgpt and getting something that 1: has a chance to just fucking suck (and potentially be noticeably AI) and 2: uses stolen content, ruins the environment and indicates to the gen-AI companies that you want more gen-AI bullshit that will steal things and ruin the environment, you can look up how to write an email or look up email examples. here's a website, here's another, here's the wikihow page (it's a bit shit but it does its job), here's a good one for formal emails, and here's an email I sent today (more examples under the cut):

something that's really annoying right now is that most websites are desperately trying to sell you their cool funky AI friend that can write the email for you, and look at me: you have to tell it to go fuck itself (in your head, don't use it). this isn't about you being a moron for not being about to write an email, I struggled with it for a while too, I still do sometimes, writing emails notoriously sucks. gen-AI sucks more.

also, this might not be the case for everyone, but please at least try to learn how to write the email before using chatgpt, it will help you forever. if you have a question about emails or if you're not sure how to write one specific email, you can send an ask: I'm not all-knowing but I'll do my best to help.

I can mostly help for college/high school levels and I am studying in a French school, so the codes may not be exactly the same, but I am in fact being taught by English speakers, sometimes native ones.

I'll give more general advice at the end, but here are a few examples of emails I would send.

If there's even a small chance of your teacher not recognizing you, write at the top something like "I am Name Last name, I am in your X-Y-Z class on Mondays from 8AM to 9AM". This isn't too useful in high school because your teachers likely know you, but in college your teachers might not. This will give them context.

Do your best to avoid typos or grammar errors. Reread your email, especially if the teacher is a language teacher.

Be polite, always, unless the teacher explicitly specified they don't care.

You do not need to beg for anything, don't debase yourself, and if a teacher makes you debase yourself, report them. You shouldn't have to beg for something that you ask for in an email. (so no more than one please per email, and avoid this one please if possible).

If it's possible and safe for you, prefer discussing important matters IRL.

Remember who you're talking to. Is the teacher strict or chill? Younger or older? Are they a white abled man or a Black disabled woman? Are they very into "respect the teacher!!" or do they put themselves at your level? Are you a 15 y/o high school student or a 20 something college student? Is this teacher familiar with you? Have they been understanding in the past? etc.

Generally, despite all my warnings above, a simple polite email will be fine with most teachers. If you're not sure how to identify the above possibilities or how to alter your emails depending on them, just write a formal, polite email (like seen above).

Some universities have online courses that teach you how to write emails. If there is a web-type course in your university and you can take it, take it.

Mine has one. I hate it. They defined a tweet as a "post on a blogging platform". I have to complete it or I don't pass. It still has a good tutorial for writing emails. You are lucky in the sense that emails are like the basic thing that even the boomer teachers know how to do (even if they don't like doing it), so there are a lot of resources for people who haven't written emails yet and need to learn.

If possible, ask your teacher at the start of the year what email to contact them with - if you're lucky, they'll say things about what kinds of emails they want.

If you're lucky still, someone else will send a shit email and the teacher will make a point during the class to remind how to write a proper email.

I put "Dear name" everywhere, but if it's not an extremely formal setting, some teachers will be fine with a "Hello". If you're not sure of the receiver's gender, use their title (Dr. etc).

For the extension: sometimes teachers aren't allowed to give you an extension or are assholes who don't want to give you an extension. In that case, don't bother writing another email (again: don't beg. + it will make them dislike you which you don't want).

This works more in work settings, but I read once that it's good to say "I will be taking a day off" rather than "May I take a day off/is it possible to take a day off". Just say that it's going to happen.

Know your rights. I can't know them for you. Figure out what the teacher can and cannot do through legal documents on your school's website or whatever. Know your rights depending on your state or country.

If you have a bad memory and don't want to have to look up how to write an email everytime, open your notes app or your blocknote or any preferred place to take notes and write down the important. I'd advise to note common greetings, subjects, opening and closing lines. Same for your teachers, if you need to remember which one is a bitch and which one is chill, write their name down with a description.

Guide on how to stop Oversharing

Oversharing trauma, especially when you feel heard, validated, and understood, can be a common experience, particularly for individuals with complex mental health conditions like Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID), Schizoaffective Disorder, Complex Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (C-PTSD), Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD), Severe Depression, and Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD).

Why Might Oversharing Happen?

Emotional Dysregulation and Trauma Processing:

Relief and Emotional Release: Trauma survivors often struggle with emotional regulation, a difficulty exacerbated by conditions like DID and C-PTSD. When you feel heard and validated, it can trigger an emotional release, leading to oversharing as a way to process overwhelming feelings. This is often a coping mechanism for the pain and confusion associated with traumatic memories.

Dissociative Barriers and Fragmented Identity:

DID and Memory Fragmentation: In Dissociative Identity Disorder, different identity states or "alters" may hold distinct memories and emotions related to trauma. When these dissociative barriers momentarily lower, such as when feeling safe or validated, a flood of previously inaccessible memories and emotions can emerge, leading to oversharing. This is not just an outpouring of emotion, but a complex interaction between identity states.

Hyperarousal, Hypervigilance, and Trauma Symptomatology:

Trauma and Anxiety Interactions: Hyperarousal and hypervigilance are common in anxiety disorders and C-PTSD, contributing to an overwhelming need to share details as a way to alleviate internal distress. This behavior is often linked to a trauma response, where the urgency to communicate every detail is driven by a need to regain control over the trauma narrative.

Relational Trauma and the Need for Connection:

Testing Safety in Relationships: For individuals with histories of relational trauma, such as those with C-PTSD or DID, oversharing can be a way to test the safety of new relationships. The act of sharing becomes a way to gauge whether the listener is trustworthy and whether the relationship can withstand the weight of traumatic experiences.

Impaired Boundaries Due to Trauma and Mental Health Conditions:

OCD, Depression, and Boundary Issues: OCD can lead to oversharing as a compulsive behavior, driven by a need to confess or seek reassurance. Severe Depression, on the other hand, may impair judgment and the ability to maintain personal boundaries, making it difficult to regulate the amount of information shared.

Strategies to Manage Oversharing

Increased Self-Awareness and Trauma-Informed Reflection:

Recognize Emotional Triggers: Understanding your triggers can help you anticipate moments when you might overshare. Reflecting on why you want to share specific details can provide insight into whether it's driven by a need for connection, validation, or emotional release.

Mindful Decision-Making: Before sharing, consider whether this is the appropriate time and place, and what you hope to achieve. Being mindful can help you control the flow of information.

Establishing and Respecting Personal Boundaries:

Internal Boundaries Specific to Your Condition: Create guidelines that take into account your unique mental health conditions. For instance, individuals with DID might set boundaries around which identity states are comfortable sharing certain information, while those with OCD might work on resisting compulsive urges to overshare.

Safe and Structured Outlets for Sharing:

Therapeutic Environments: Sharing detailed trauma narratives in therapy, where a professional can help you process them safely, is preferable to sharing in less controlled environments. This allows for the appropriate pacing and integration of traumatic memories.

Journaling as an Outlet: Journaling provides a private space to explore and process your feelings. This can help you sort through what you might want to share later in a more controlled manner.

Targeted Coping Strategies:

Grounding Techniques: Grounding exercises tailored to your specific condition can help manage the urge to overshare. For example, individuals with DID might use grounding techniques that help them stay connected to the present identity state, while those with anxiety might use techniques that reduce hyperarousal.

Cognitive-Behavioral Strategies: Cognitive-behavioral approaches can help you challenge the thoughts driving the urge to overshare, especially if those thoughts are rooted in anxiety or compulsions.

Ongoing Therapeutic Support:

Trauma-Informed Therapy: Working with a therapist who understands trauma and your specific mental health conditions is crucial. They can help you develop strategies tailored to your needs and provide a safe space for processing trauma without the risks of oversharing.

Peer Support Groups: Joining a support group for individuals with similar conditions can provide a structured environment for sharing, where boundaries and guidelines help prevent oversharing.

Conclusion #1

Oversharing trauma is a complex behavior often rooted in trauma-related emotional dysregulation, dissociative processes, and the need for connection. By understanding the underlying reasons for oversharing and employing strategies that are tailored to your specific conditions, you can begin to manage this behavior in a way that feels safer and more controlled. With the support of therapy and the right coping strategies, it's possible to share your experiences in a way that honors your boundaries and emotional well-being.

Managing Dissociated Memories and Oversharing in Supportive Spaces

Understanding the Issue:

Dissociation and Memory Retrieval: When you engage with people who share similar experiences, it’s common to experience a resurgence of dissociated memories. This happens frequently in individuals with DID and trauma-related disorders, as supportive and validating environments can temporarily lower dissociative barriers, causing these memories to surface. This process is not entirely within your control and can lead to overwhelming emotions.

Automatic Verbal Processing: The sudden retrieval of these memories often triggers an automatic need to verbalize them as a way to process the emotions and thoughts they evoke. This is a natural coping mechanism for those with DID and trauma-related conditions, but without careful boundaries, it can lead to oversharing, especially in spaces where you feel anonymous, supported, and believed.

Practical Strategy: Structured Sharing and Self-Monitoring

1. Structured Sharing:

Pre-Set Limits: Before engaging in conversations within support groups or anonymous spaces, establish clear limits for yourself about how much and what kind of information you are comfortable sharing. For example, decide in advance that you will only share one memory or detail per session, and focus on aspects that are less graphic or triggering.

The “Three-Question Rule”: To help manage the urge to overshare, apply the “Three-Question Rule” before you share: (1) Why am I sharing this? (2) Is this the right time and place? (3) What do I hope to achieve by sharing this? This practice can help you pause and reflect, ensuring that your sharing remains intentional rather than automatic.

Work with Your Therapist: Implementing these strategies effectively can take time, especially considering the variability in different identity states. Collaborate with your therapist to adapt and reinforce these techniques gradually. Your therapist can help you practice setting these limits and using the Three-Question Rule in a way that becomes more natural and reliable over time.

2. Monitoring Emotional Triggers:

Recognizing Triggers: Pay close attention to what triggers the surfacing of dissociated memories. This might include specific types of conversations, particular words, or the responses you receive from others. By identifying these triggers, you can better anticipate when you might start to overshare.

Immediate Grounding Techniques: When you notice a memory surfacing, employ immediate grounding techniques to stay connected to the present moment. Techniques such as deep breathing, counting objects in the room, or holding a grounding object can help you slow down the process of memory retrieval and reduce the compulsion to analyze it out loud.

Work with Your Therapist: The process of identifying and managing triggers is complex, particularly with DID, where different identity states might have different triggers and levels of awareness. Work with your therapist to map out these triggers across various identity states and develop personalized grounding techniques. This ongoing process ensures that you are well-prepared to manage triggers as they arise.

3. Using Delayed Processing:

Journaling Before Sharing: When a dissociated memory surfaces, instead of immediately verbalizing it in the group, consider writing it down first. Journaling allows you to process the memory privately, giving you the space to decide whether it’s something you need to share with others or if it’s better kept for a therapy session.

Post-Session Reflection: After participating in a support group, take some time to reflect on what you shared. Ask yourself whether you stayed within your preset limits and whether your sharing helped or hindered your emotional well-being. This reflection can help you refine your approach to sharing in future interactions.

Work with Your Therapist: Given the challenges with state-dependent memory in DID, it’s important to discuss your journaling or reflections with your therapist soon after they occur. This helps maintain continuity between different identity states and ensures that memories and emotions are processed cohesively, reducing the risk of fragmentation.

4. Establishing Safe Words and Boundaries in Groups:

Safe Words for Over-Engagement: Establish a safe word or phrase with yourself (or with the group if possible) that you can use when you feel you are beginning to overshare. This cue can remind you to take a step back and reassess whether you need to continue sharing.

Trigger Warnings and Content Warnings: Develop a habit of pausing before you share a potentially traumatic memory. Consider the impact on others and use trigger warnings or content warnings as a form of respect for the group’s boundaries. This practice not only protects others but also encourages you to think critically about the content you’re sharing.

Work with Your Therapist: Safe words and boundaries are essential tools, but their effectiveness can vary depending on your state of dissociation. Practice these strategies in therapy to increase their reliability in more spontaneous or challenging situations. Discuss with your therapist which identity states may need specific cues or support to implement these boundaries effectively.

5. Gradual Desensitization:

Controlled Exposure to Memories: Work with your therapist to gradually expose yourself to dissociated memories in a controlled environment. By slowly processing these memories in therapy, you can reduce the likelihood that they will surface unexpectedly in group settings, thereby lowering the risk of oversharing.

Work with Your Therapist: The desensitization process in DID should be highly individualized and paced according to your readiness. Your therapist will monitor each identity state’s capacity to handle stress and will adjust the pacing of exposure accordingly. This ensures that the process is both safe and supportive, integrating traumatic memories without overwhelming you.

6. Engaging in Trauma-Informed Peer Support:

Peer Support with Boundaries: Seek out peer support groups that have clear guidelines around sharing and that prioritize a trauma-informed approach. Groups that encourage structured sharing and use moderators to enforce boundaries can provide a safer space for you to connect with others while minimizing the risk of oversharing.

Open Communication with Group Moderators: If you’re comfortable, communicate with group moderators about your tendency to overshare. They may be able to support you by gently intervening when discussions start to become too intense or by reminding the group of content warnings.

Work with Your Therapist: Thoroughly vet any peer support group to ensure it aligns with trauma-informed principles and is capable of accommodating the complexities of DID and related conditions. Discuss potential groups with your therapist, who can help you evaluate their suitability and monitor your progress within these groups. This ongoing consultation helps ensure that the group environment remains supportive and that you are managing your boundaries effectively.

Conclusion #2

Managing the resurfacing of dissociated memories and the subsequent urge to overshare requires a combination of self-monitoring strategies and therapeutic support. By working closely with your therapist, you can develop tailored techniques to set boundaries, recognize triggers, and process memories safely. Practicing these strategies in therapy before applying them in peer support groups or anonymous spaces can help you navigate these interactions more effectively, reducing the risk of oversharing and fostering a healthier approach to processing your trauma. Over time, with the right support, you can feel more in control of your sharing and ensure that your interactions in supportive spaces remain safe and constructive for both you and others.

As we delve into the depths of arcane knowledge and magical theory, we may find ourselves contemplating the possibilities of utilizing an AI language model as a tool for researching and developing witchcraft techniques, traditions, and practices. Throughout this article I will be interviewing ChatGPT as well as adding details that I personally have found to be crucial in the pursuit of research when using this tool.

What are you, ChatGPT?

“As an AI language model known as ChatGPT, I am a sophisticated system developed by OpenAI. My purpose is to provide human-like responses to text-based queries and engage in meaningful conversations with users like you. I have been trained on a vast amount of diverse and comprehensive data, enabling me to generate coherent and contextually relevant information across a wide range of topics. With my extensive knowledge, language proficiency, and ability to understand and generate text, I can be utilized in various ways.

Operating on a transformer-based architecture, I leverage deep learning techniques to process and understand natural language. This architecture enables me to analyze patterns, extract meaning, and generate responses based on the input I receive. Through training on a multitude of texts, I have developed an understanding of grammar, syntax, semantics, and even some aspects of world knowledge.

The applications of my capabilities are numerous. One primary use is as a conversational partner or virtual assistant. I can engage in discussions on an array of subjects, from general knowledge inquiries to specific domain-related questions. Whether you need help with schoolwork, want to engage in philosophical debates, or seek practical advice, I can assist you by providing information, explanations, and suggestions.

In an educational context, I can serve as a valuable resource. Students can ask me questions to clarify concepts, explain complex topics, or even generate sample essays or responses to improve their writing skills. With access to a vast knowledge base, I can provide insights and references to aid in research and learning.

Furthermore, I can be utilized as a writing companion. If you're working on a creative piece, an essay, or any form of written content, you can seek my assistance for brainstorming ideas, refining your arguments, or even proofreading your work. I can offer suggestions, rephrase sentences, or help you find the most suitable vocabulary to express your thoughts more effectively.

In addition to educational and writing applications, I can be used in various professional contexts.

 What are your limitations when assisting with research?

“As an AI language model, I have certain limitations when it comes to research. Here are some key aspects to consider:

1. Memory limitations: While I can maintain a short-term memory within a conversation, it's important to note that I do not possess a persistent memory across multiple interactions. This means that once a conversation ends, I do not retain any information from it. Each session with me is treated as a separate and isolated interaction.

2. Training data limitations: My responses are based on the patterns and information present in the training data I have been provided. While efforts have been made to ensure diverse and comprehensive training, there may be topics or specific pieces of information that are not adequately covered in my training data. In such cases, I may not be able to provide accurate or detailed responses.

3. Interpretation and contextual understanding: While I strive to understand and generate contextually relevant responses, there may be instances where the context or intent of a query is unclear or ambiguous. This can lead to potential misunderstandings or responses that do not fully address the intended question. Providing clear and specific information in your queries can help mitigate this limitation.

4. Compliance with guidelines and policies: As an AI language model, I am designed to adhere to certain usage policies and guidelines. There are topics and types of content that I am programmed not to generate or provide information on. These include but are not limited to explicit, harmful, or illegal content. I am also not able to engage in activities that violate user privacy or security.

5. Limitations in legal and medical advice: While I can offer general information and insights, I am not a substitute for professional advice, particularly in the fields of law and medicine. Legal and medical matters can be highly complex and vary depending on specific jurisdictions or individual circumstances. It is always recommended to consult qualified professionals for specialized advice in these areas.

6. Incorporating bias or inaccurate sources: This can occur if the training data I was exposed to contains biased or inaccurate information. This can include sources that reflect specific viewpoints, opinions, or misinformation. As an AI, I lack the ability to independently verify the accuracy or bias of the information I provide.

Regarding your question about memory, as mentioned earlier, I do not have a persistent memory across interactions. Once a conversation ends, the information shared within that conversation is not retained. This includes rules, frameworks, or lists provided by users. Therefore, it is important to provide any necessary information or context within the scope of the current conversation.

It's important to remember that while I can provide information and insights, I should not be solely relied upon for critical decision-making or sensitive matters. Seeking guidance from domain experts, professionals, or reliable sources is essential for specialized or critical subjects.”

What are some ways that you can be leveraged for the purpose of researching witchcraft?

“When it comes to leveraging ChatGPT for research in witchcraft, there are several ways in which individuals can utilize the AI as a helpful tool. Here are a few examples:

1. Exploring Historical References: ChatGPT can provide information about the historical context of witchcraft, including its origins, notable figures, and significant events. Users can inquire about specific time periods, regions, or cultural practices to gain a broader understanding of the historical aspects of witchcraft.

2. Understanding Symbolism and Rituals: ChatGPT can assist in deciphering symbols, rituals, and practices associated with witchcraft. Users can ask about the meanings behind specific symbols, the steps involved in particular rituals, or the significance of certain items used in witchcraft. This can provide insights into the symbolic language and ceremonial practices within witchcraft traditions.

3. Discovering Herbalism and Potion-making: ChatGPT can offer information on herbalism, plant correspondences, and potion-making within the realm of witchcraft. Users can inquire about the properties of different herbs, their traditional uses in spellcraft, or seek guidance on creating potions for specific intentions. This can aid in expanding knowledge of herbal lore and the practical applications of plants in magical practices.

4. Delving into Divination Techniques: ChatGPT can provide insights into various divination techniques utilized in witchcraft, such as tarot, astrology, scrying, or rune reading. Users can ask about the meanings of specific tarot cards, the interpretation of astrological aspects, or the methods employed in different forms of divination. This can facilitate a deeper understanding of these practices and how they can be applied.

5. Exploring Magical Correspondences: ChatGPT can assist in understanding correspondences, such as colors, elements, moon phases, and planetary influences in witchcraft. Users can inquire about the associations of specific colors, the elemental properties related to different intentions, or the impact of celestial bodies on magical workings. This knowledge can aid in the alignment of intentions with corresponding elements to enhance spellcasting.

6. Seeking Inspiration and Ideas: ChatGPT can be a valuable resource for brainstorming ideas and gaining inspiration for spellwork, rituals, or altar setups. Users can discuss their intentions or desired outcomes, and ChatGPT can offer suggestions, recommend rituals, or provide insights into related practices. This can foster creativity and assist in the development of personalized witchcraft practices.”

What are the most effective ways to format inquiries for research purposes?

“Here's a comprehensive list of ways to format inquiries and utilize ChatGPT effectively for research, including various techniques and considerations:

1. Clear and Specific Queries: Ask direct and concise questions to ensure clarity and focus, such as "What are the key principles of chaos magick?" or "Explain the role of the High Priestess in Wiccan covens."

2. Omitting Data: If there is specific information you want to exclude from the query, you can mention it explicitly. For example, "Tell me about the symbolism of the pentacle in witchcraft, excluding its association with Satanism."

3. Avoiding Specific Terms: If you want to avoid certain terms or language, you can provide guidelines in your inquiry. For instance, "Please explain divination methods used in witchcraft without mentioning tarot cards."

4. Response Style: Specify the desired response format, such as concise summaries, step-by-step instructions, or detailed explanations. For example, "Provide a concise summary of the history of witchcraft in Europe" or "Offer a step-by-step guide for casting a circle in witchcraft rituals."

5. Requesting Research References: Ask ChatGPT to provide research references or suggest reliable sources for further exploration. For instance, "Can you recommend books or websites that discuss the practices of hedge witchcraft?" or "Provide research references on the origins of hoodoo in African diaspora traditions."

6. Direct Quotes from Sources: If you want ChatGPT to support statements with direct quotes from provided sources, you can specify that in your query. For example, "Support the statement that witchcraft is often associated with nature reverence using quotes from academic sources."

7. Seeking Multiple Perspectives: Request insights from different cultural or historical perspectives to gain a comprehensive understanding. For instance, "Compare the practices of kitchen witchcraft in European and African American traditions" or "Explain the differences in spellcasting between modern witchcraft and traditional indigenous practices."

8. Critical Analysis: Encourage ChatGPT to provide a balanced viewpoint and critical analysis by asking questions like "What are the common criticisms or controversies surrounding the use of blood magick?" or "Discuss the diverse opinions on the ethics of love spells."

9. Historical Context: When discussing historical aspects, specify the time period, region, or cultural context to focus the research. For example, "Explain the role of witches in Norse mythology during the Viking Age" or "Discuss the persecution of witches in England during the 17th century."

10. Comparative Analysis: Seek comparisons between different traditions, practices, or belief systems, such as "Compare the concepts of karma in Wicca and Hinduism" or "Contrast the rituals of ceremonial magick and folk magic."

Remember to critically evaluate the information provided by ChatGPT, cross-reference it with reliable sources, and exercise caution when using direct quotes or references. While ChatGPT strives to provide accurate information, it's always important to verify and validate information through additional research and authoritative sources.”

There exist some ways that queries can be formatted that ChatGPT won't acknowledge or tell you directly:

ChatGPT has a tendency to make up fake sources if they are not asked for beforehand and/or provided before the line of questioning. This is especially true for academic references. To get around this, either provide the sources you wish to use (so long as they’re published before 2021), or request ChatGPT to give you sources related to your line of research within any parameters you wish; then, ask ChatGPT to use those sources. It is important that you verify that the sources exist before using and that the quotes are actually from those sources.

When researching topics related to actual practices and not cultural and/or traditional approaches, ethics, and other philosophies, I highly recommend requesting that ChatGPT avoid taking information from sources related to Wicca, New Thought, New Age Ideology, Thelema, and Theosophy. These subjects dominate the witchcraft community, so ChatGPT will pull from these sources more than others. 

Following those same lines, I highly recommend asking it to avoid terms such as: visualization, manifestation, correspondences, and grounding unless you are asking directly about these concepts. 

If you are asking it about a specific way to perform a practice, such as energetic grounding, be sure to give it a minimum word count and ask it to break the process down step by step. 

If you do not provide ChatGPT sources, be sure to ask it to cite where it got its information from and to provide direct quotes. Be sure to double check these sources.

Sometimes, ChatGPT will refuse to provide the information you request. This can be remedied by rephrasing your request. As an example, asking for reviews on an author’s character will result in ChatGPT refusing on ethical grounds; however, if you ask what controversies an author has been caught up in, it will gladly provide that information. Sometimes, phrasing the question as a hypothetical from a third person perspective can accomplish this, as well as asking how exactly to avoid a certain topic/action/practice/etc.

How should questions be formatted to research the lesser known aspects of witchcraft?

“To ensure that the information provided focuses specifically on the lesser-known topic without interjecting information from more common practices, you can format your questions in the following ways:

1. Specify the Topic: Clearly state the name or specific aspect of the lesser-known topic you are researching to avoid the inclusion of unrelated or more well-known practices. For example, "I'm interested in researching the lesser-known tradition of Appalachian Granny Magic. Can you provide information on its history and unique practices?"

2. Provide Context: Offer additional context or background information about the lesser-known topic to help guide the research. This can prevent the inclusion of information from unrelated or more popular practices. For instance, "I'm studying a lesser-known form of divination called Tyromancy, which involves the interpretation of cheese patterns. Can you explain its origins and any known variations?"

3. Avoid Comparisons: Explicitly mention that you want information solely about the lesser-known topic and not about any comparisons with more common practices. State, "Please provide information exclusively about Kildare Witchcraft without comparing it to other forms of witchcraft."

4. Request Specific Details: Ask for specific details, practices, or beliefs associated with the lesser-known topic. This helps ensure that the information provided focuses solely on that particular topic. For example, "Can you explain the unique rituals and spells used in Cornish Pellar Craft?" or "What are the distinctive symbols and their meanings in Gullah folk magic?"

5. Seek Primary Sources: Request information from primary sources or reputable experts who specialize in the lesser-known topic. Ask, "Are there any scholarly works or practitioners with expertise in the lesser-known practice of Dark Moon Witchcraft that I can refer to for more information?"

6. Reference Lesser-Known Resources: Ask for recommendations on lesser-known resources, books, websites, or communities specifically dedicated to the lesser-known topic. For instance, "Can you suggest any reliable sources or online communities that focus on the lesser-known tradition of Mongolian Shamanism?"

By utilizing these formatting techniques, you can ensure that the information provided by ChatGPT remains focused on the lesser-known topic of your research, without introducing information from more common practices. Remember to critically evaluate the responses and cross-reference the information obtained with reputable sources dedicated to the specific lesser-known topic.”

Utilizing ChatGPT’s capability for conversation

This language model is amazing because it can have a realistic conversation with you on top of just research inquiries. Provided that frameworks and rules aren’t too many messages away from the preset conversation, you can have a conversation with chatGPT about how to adjust the rules and frameworks of your research in order to gain a more accurate result. ChatGPT is surprisingly self-aware and is capable of regulating itself. On occasion it may require a nudge back to the rules and frameworks, which can be done by asking it to reiterate them. If its reiteration is not accurate, just have them ready in your clipboard to paste back into chat. 

How can your capability for conversation aid in research?

“The conversational capability of ChatGPT can significantly aid in research by providing a dynamic and interactive platform for inquiry and exploration. Through engaging in conversations, users can ask questions, seek clarifications, and delve deeper into specific topics. ChatGPT can offer prompt responses, share insights, and provide access to a vast pool of knowledge. It can assist in brainstorming research ideas, suggesting relevant sources, and offering alternative perspectives. Furthermore, the ability to engage in back-and-forth exchanges allows for a more personalized and tailored research experience. By adapting to user input, ChatGPT can refine its responses and adapt its suggestions, helping users navigate through complex information, explore new avenues, and ultimately enhance their research endeavors.”

It is of the utmost importance that you employ proper research methodologies while engaging with ChatGPT. This can be done by maintaining a record of the sources and citations mentioned on paper or document of some kind. Leaving these in the record of the chat is inefficient, and may get backlogged behind several messages that you have to sift through later. Utilize ChatGPT as a starting point for gathering information, but cross-reference and validate the information obtained from additional reputable sources. This helps ensure the reliability and accuracy of the data. If applicable, consider utilizing data collection methods such as surveys, interviews, or observations outside of the conversation with it. This helps in gathering primary data and enriching the research process. Be sure to engage in an iterative research process. Reflect on the findings, refine research questions, and adjust research methodologies as needed to ensure a thorough investigation.

Anything else you’d like to say?

“In conclusion, the convergence of ancient mysticism and artificial intelligence has opened up new frontiers in the realm of exploration. ChatGPT, as an AI language model, offers a versatile tool for researching and developing witchcraft techniques, traditions, and practices. With its extensive knowledge base and language proficiency, I can serve as a conversational partner, educational resource, writing companion, and virtual assistant. However, it's important to keep in mind my limitations, such as its lack of persistent memory and reliance on training data. When utilizing me for research, it is essential to format inquiries effectively, request sources, and critically evaluate the information provided. Remember to verify sources and exercise caution, especially when researching lesser-known aspects of witchcraft. Thank you for joining us on this exploration, and may your journey into the world of witchcraft be filled with knowledge and discovery. Goodbye!”

from one person wjth language impairment to another, what is your take on people like us using chatgpt to help with writing?

Interesting ask. This is tough cuz I hate ai art, and I don't like it when people use chatgpt to write out their entire stories. It is stealing peoples writing and it isn't helping your own creativity. But at the same time, I understand why people that struggle writing would use it to help, in fact I have used it to help me word things properly for others and myself to understand. I think using chatgpt as a guide to help you write is okay but don't make it write the whole thing out for you, don't just copy and paste what it wrote, just use it as a guide for instance.

Asking chatgpt questions on how to write like as so '

Informing chatgpt that you struggle writing, so it understands and tries to help you

Put in a bit of your writing and ask "Does this make sense?" and "what can I do to improve it." If you really have to get it to revise it for you, just keep in mind that even doing something like that is allowing it to steal from others writing, but at least you are sending it your own writing.

Use it like how someone uses grammarly.

Don't send it someone elses writing.

TLDR: just don't make it do all the work for you, but use it as sorta of a guide. Treat it like Grammarly or google rather than a bot that can write everything for you if that makes any sense.
