Son Masayoshi's Approach to Utilizing "ChatGPT" - A New Partner for Creative Thinking and Collaboration

SoftBank Group Chairman Masayoshi Son mentioned how he uses ChatGPT during the shareholders' meeting. He revealed that he utilizes ChatGPT as a "conversation partner," considering it not just a simple search tool but a partner for sharing ideas and engaging in discussions.

Chairman Son instructs ChatGPT, saying, "Assuming you are three genius scientists, A, B, and C, each with different characteristics, discuss how you would solve this problem in front of me." He prompts a discussion from various perspectives. Then, he continues the discussion by asking, "Do B and C agree with A, disagree, or offer their own thoughts from a different angle?" He continues to exchange opinions until a consensus is reached.

He added that this process is "very interesting and informative," and "far more intriguing than discussions with subordinates, and once started, it's hard to stop." Chairman Son's method of using ChatGPT demonstrates its potential as a collaborative partner that sparks creative thinking and presents new perspectives, going beyond simply obtaining information.

While ChatGPT is being used in various fields, such as information retrieval and document creation, Chairman Son's case of utilizing it for generating creative ideas and collaboration holds significant implications. It is anticipated that ChatGPT will continue to evolve and be utilized in more advanced forms through collaboration with humans in the future.
