Elevate This & Elevate That: What is with Chat GPTs Obsession With "Elevate"

Manners, AI, and the Irony of Politeness: Trying to Understand Our Unexpected Graciousness with ChatGPT - An Opinion Piece

Like many, I've been utterly captivated by ChatGPT. It's been a game-changer, reshaping my work and personal life in ways I couldn't have imagined. Yet, amidst the brilliance, there's a peculiar tic that's been gnawing at me.


"Elevate this, and Elevate that"


No, it's not a spin-off from the hilarious Billy Crystal & Robert De Niro films' Analyze This and Analyze Thatwhich, by the way, are must-watches. Rather, it seems to have become ChatGPT's catchphrase, its go-to advice for just about everything. Want to enhance your business? Elevate it. Improve your cooking skills? Elevate them. It's as if ChatGPT attended a self-help seminar and walked out with "elevate" as its mantra.

The Elevate Enigma


Why the fixation on this term? It's a good word, no doubt. But when was the last time you used "elevate" in a casual chat? It's like ChatGPT grabbed a thesaurus and clung to "elevate" like a lifeline.

The Humor in Repetition


There's a certain comedy to this repetition. Picture this: You're discussing your weekend plans, and ChatGPT suggests you "elevate your relaxation." Or you're talking about pet care, and it advises you to "elevate your dog-walking experience." It's almost as if there's an inside joke we're all part of, courtesy of our AI pal.

Elevate: The New Buzzword?


Perhaps we're witnessing the birth of a new buzzword. Move over, "synergy" and "paradigm shift," "elevate" is here to... well, elevate the conversation. Maybe we're the ones out of the loop, and soon, we'll be elevating everything from our morning coffee to our bedtime routine.

The Charm of ChatGPT


Despite this linguistic quirk, our fondness for ChatGPT remains undiminished. It's this blend of profound assistance and amusing idiosyncrasies that endears ChatGPT to us. Its penchant for "elevate" is just one of the many quirks that make it feel less like a machine and more like a character in our daily lives.


Ever find yourself saying "please" and "thank you" to ChatGPT? It's surprisingly gratifying, right? It feels like being part of a secret society where good manners are the norm, even if it's just you and a sophisticated algorithm having a chat.


I'm not saying we should drop our good manners as we go about our day; that would only make the world a more unpleasant place. Although I do find it somewhat ironic that people often treat ChatGPT with more kindness than they do actual people in their lives. It seems we're more polite to AI than to each other. And I must admit, I've probably done the same.


It's intriguing to see how we extend our social graces to AI, perhaps even more generously than we do with actual humans around us.

Embracing Elevate


So, here's to embracing "elevate." Let's lean into the humour and maybe, just maybe, find ways to genuinely elevate our lives, one ChatGPT conversation at a time. After all, if an AI can have a favourite word, why can't we?


Did you know mine is "Viscous" ofcourse you didn't but now you do... what's yours? Comment down below!


In conclusion, while "elevate" might rarely roll off our tongues in daily conversation, it's become a charming quirk of interacting with ChatGPT. It's a reminder that AI, with all its computational might, can still have its endearing oddities. So, the next time ChatGPT suggests you elevate something, take it with a smile and a nod to the quirky intelligence we've all grown to adore.
