Chaining your way to better writing with ChatGPT

This article was co-authored with Annelie Tinworth, Lead UX Content Designer at Volvo Cars, localisation legend, and word nerd extraordinaire.

So this morning, I hopped onto a Meets call with my partner-in-design Annelie Tinworth, and we had the following conversation (transcript courtesy of Google Meets, with a touch of editing for creative liberty):

Me: Morning! How’s it going?

Annelie: Not bad, not bad, need more coffee… and–

Me: Did you see the new Slack interface?

Annelie: … No, it doesn’t look like it’s rolled out to me yet. Maybe I can find where to update…

Me: What’s a good meal to prepare for vegans who don’t like garlic and hate mushrooms?

Annelie: You what?

Me: Actually, could you summarise the main themes of Much Ado About Nothing?

Annelie: Is that… Shakespeare?

Me: Back to the recipe, they also don’t eat soy…

I know what you’re thinking. I’m a stunning conversationalist. I changed the topic with each response on purpose to prove a point, though: it’s confusing. Annelie thought I was losing it, and rightly so.
