Even years ago I would read employment ads and wonder what exactly the words referred to. If you are not in an industry then you are not privy to the latest diction. This can be frustrating for the job seeker and a little mystifying for the idly curious. But have no fear, ChatGPT is here!
I was helping an entry-level computer programmer applicant and couldn’t follow the list of preferred prerequisites listed in the job description. Turning the text loose on Chat generated a plain language description of SEO and AWS technologies and many more mysterious terms. Asking further for examples of Core Web Vitals or cross-browser functional testing led to more specific, easy-to-read, applications.
Part of the job was to adjust or test for whether web content through browser windows matched with what a user views on a phone screen. And then I knew part of what that job was all about. Chat had bridged a knowledge gap. And was very pleasant about it too.
