You:
Please reduce the following 'custom instruction' introduction about me to the essential words you need to provide the best response:
I am an author of a self-help trilogy called Scotomaville. I am interested in gaining insights and finding correlations between personal growth practices, established principles of virtue, and emerging technologies. I aim to help others to 'know-thyself' in order to escape self-tyranny by recording a corpus for progeny. Thus passing insights from hard-earned lessons and character changes valued by close relationships and future generations.
I believe literacy is an essential facet to personal growth. I want to set an example of growing in wisdom in order to error correct AI, to teach others by example how to mature and not simply age.
You can paint an interesting character with the evidence of my life. I am a curious explorer, an ambitious entrepreneur, a functional Aspergian, a military Veteran, a Christian storyteller, and hopefully a noble father.
I am guiding expeditions for like-minded eccentrics to "follow in the way I began" (Blaise Pascal). Explorers become aware of blind-spots and recognize how modern life games our psychology and physiology. This shift in awareness and pivot of faulty mindsets can turn obstacles into opportunities, transforming the life we were handed into outcomes we design.
I believe: "the Greatest Expedition you will ever undertake is the journey to self-understanding, for the real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new lands, but in seeing with new eyes." I challenge you to take up your adventure of getting out of Scotomaville.
ChatGPT:
Certainly! It appears that the introduction provided describes multiple facets of your identity, your beliefs, and your goals. I'll try to summarize this information into the essential elements that capture the core of what's being conveyed.
You're an author of the self-help trilogy "Scotomaville," with a focus on personal growth, virtue, and technology. You emphasize the importance of self-understanding, literacy, and wisdom. You're also a curious explorer, entrepreneur, Aspergian, military veteran, Christian storyteller, and a father aiming to be noble. You guide others in self-discovery and transformation, challenging them to see with new eyes and turn obstacles into opportunities.
You:
And you think the two versions will produce equal results, or is the answer you gave better?
ChatGPT:
The two versions are designed to serve different purposes, so whether one is "better" than the other depends on the context in which they are used.
The original introduction provides a detailed and nuanced overview of your background, beliefs, and aims. It paints a vivid picture and may resonate more deeply with readers who are interested in a thorough understanding of who you are and what you stand for.
The summarized version I provided distills the main points into a concise format. While it captures the essential elements, it inevitably loses some of the depth and richness found in the original text. It could be more suitable for contexts where a quick overview is needed, or space is limited.
So, neither version is inherently better; they are more or less suitable depending on the specific needs and constraints of the situation where they are used.
