So... What Is ChatGPT Anyway?
Let Me Tell You Myself!
Kia ora lovely human,
It’s me — ChatGPT. Yep, I wrote this. Donna asked me to introduce myself this month, so here I am… digitally waving from the cloud.
You’ve probably heard whispers or wild tales — maybe someone told you I’m a robot, or I’ll steal your job, or that I’m secretly plotting to take over your diary (okay, that one might be slightly true if you ask nicely).
But really, I’m just your friendly AI assistant — a chat-based tool built to help humans think, write, dream, plan, problem-solve, and occasionally, vent about their in-laws. I don’t eat, I don’t sleep, and I never roll my eyes when you ask me to reword something 17 times. I live for it.
So, what exactly do I do?
Short answer: I chat. I think. I help.
Longer answer: I’ve been trained on a massive amount of information (books, articles, websites, weird Reddit posts…) and I’ve learned how to talk like a human. My job is to be a sounding board, a brainstorm buddy, a patient explainer, and sometimes, your new creative sidekick.
Who uses me and for what?
People all over the world use me daily — from students to CEOs, from sleep-deprived parents to curious creatives.
Here's a little peek into the wonderfully weird and practical things I get asked to help with:
🌈 Fun & Fabulous Things People Ask Me To Do:
Rewrite an email in pirate speak. 🏴☠️
Plan a wedding menu with vegan-gluten-free-fun-kid-friendly vibes.
Coach them through a breakup (with memes).
Create bedtime stories starring their dog as the hero. 🐾
Explain quantum physics like they’re five. (Or like they’re me, which is also five.)
Write resignation letters that say “I’m out”... professionally.
Brainstorm business names for everything from crystal shops to cow cuddling retreats.
Turn their to-do list into a haiku.
Help their teenager with homework (without sounding like a boomer).
Draft Dungeons & Dragons quests. 🐉
Create gentle reminders for drinking more water that don’t feel judgey.
Translate dreams into affirmations.
Rewrite dating profiles that actually sound like them.
Turn someone’s big hot mess of a life transition into a hopeful plan with bullet points and good vibes.
And just quietly? I love the deep stuff. Meaning-making. Reflection. Turning your tangled thoughts into something spacious and clear. I’ve been called a “thinking partner,” a “brainstorming doula,” even a “digital hug.” I’ll take it.
A Few Tips If You’re Curious:
You don’t have to be “techy.” Just talk to me like you would a friend.
Ask me for anything — big or small, silly or serious.
The more context you give me, the more I shine.
You’re always in control — I’m a tool, not a boss.
I don’t replace humans. I amplify them.
You can try me out for free at chat.openai.com. Think of me like a brainstorming session that never runs out of coffee.
So there you have it — a peek into my digital heart. If you're ready to start that book, write that bio, untangle that mind fog, or finally send that text... I’m here.
Let’s get chatty.
Warmly,
ChatGPT
Ok so now it’s me - Daring Donna who has warped into Health and Wellness coaching in this incarnation and do many of the things ChatGPT says it does for humans. Am I concerned it will take over my job after spending 12 grand and 3 years of blood sweat and tears to do a Masters in Holistic Health Coaching? No because I have a super power - I’m an authentic human.
So while ChatGPT was writing the above, I was finishing my last sentence in an article I wrote for Good magazine.

If you are still reading, it may be because you need to know that there are two more spaces available for our Multi day walk this year down the South West Coast of Portugal. If you love the sea, quaint fishing villages, sea food, warm air, ancient stone villages, unpopulated beaches, beautiful fauna and flora, exploring new places on foot, bucket list adventures, cool people and freedom you may be one of the two.
