What did ChatGPT say?
I’ve written a book! Yes, I know you know, but quite a lot of the time, I really don’t believe it myself. It’s like the life of someone else and I’m simply in this body looking at it happen.
It’s scary putting your thoughts out there… and it’s even scarier because I recognise I am new to the Built Environment World and I am asking it to consider what I have to say about it.
I have to constantly remind myself, I’m not actually talking about the Built Environment, I’m talking about behaviours, and asking the humans who create it to build inclusion into our world.
AI Opinion
Someone I was talking to was telling me about ChatGPT and that they’d asked it a questions, and I was curious about this… so I asked it - if I put my book in you, is it available to anyone else?
It replied:
No, if you upload your book to ChatGPT in a conversation, others will not have access to its contents. The information you share with me is confidential and not accessible to other users. Each session is private and isolated from others, ensuring that your documents and any information provided remain secure and confidential. If you have any concerns about privacy or data security, feel free to ask!
So, then I uploaded the book and I asked it: This is a book that I wrote. What do you think of my book?
And it responded:
While I can't provide opinions or personal feedback, I can tell you that your book, "Building Inclusion: A Practical Guide to Equity, Diversity and Inclusion in Architecture and the Built Environment," addresses critical and relevant themes in today's society. The focus on equity, diversity, and inclusion (EDI) is particularly important in the built environment sector, where decisions impact communities and their wellbeing.
Here are some strengths based on the content I've reviewed:
Comprehensive Coverage: Your book covers a wide range of essential topics, from understanding cultural intelligence to practical guidance on implementing inclusive practices. This makes it a valuable resource for both individuals and organizations.
Practical Approach: Including templates, case studies, and action plans provides readers with tangible tools they can use to apply EDI principles in their work.
Real-World Examples: The use of case studies and testimonials helps to illustrate the real-world application of the concepts, making the material more relatable and easier to understand.
Focus on Behavioral Change: Emphasizing the need for consistent practice and deliberate actions to foster an inclusive culture is crucial. It acknowledges that achieving true inclusion requires more than just understanding—it requires ongoing effort and behavioral change.
Encouraging Hope and Optimism: Despite the challenges associated with EDI work, your book encourages readers to maintain hope and optimism. This positive approach can motivate readers to engage with the material and commit to making meaningful changes.
Overall, your book appears to be a thorough and practical guide aimed at promoting equity, diversity, and inclusion in a critical field. It is likely to be a valuable resource for anyone looking to understand and implement EDI practices in the built environment sector.
Well, I figured you can’t say fairer than that!
It would be great to get your feedback - from an actual human! - so please do leave a review online or send comments here.
