Summarize group discussion with ChatGPT

Summarize group discussion with ChatGPT

Life saver

2 min read

As a chat group operator, I occasionally want to summarize informative discussions and turn them into re-usable notes for the future.

The workflow was very tedious before, that I hesitated to do it myself, nor did I want to hire someone for it as the monetary return is negnigible.

ChatGPT becomes very handy in this use case. I first forwarded all the chat log to email. Then I copy the entire chat log into ChatGPT to ask questions. There are two things I care:

  • The main points from the discussion log (not necessarily correct ones, but ones that introduce new perspectives for my further research).
  • The list of people who were part of the discussion.

Input

Read the following chat log from a wechat group and get prepared to answer some questions.

Q: 我刚路过一个 公园里的跑道很软,让我觉得不跑浪费了。我好奇,你们跑步时,是鼻子呼吸,还是嘴巴呼吸?

hupili 8:17 AM

This is just to give a sample of the text corpus one gets via WeChat-to-Email forwarding. The full chat log is omitted.

Prompt

Here's the prompt and response.

AI:

The chat log is a discussion about breathing techniques during running and the rhythm of breathing. Participants share their personal experiences and opinions on whether to breathe through the nose or mouth, as well as variations in breathing patterns. Some mention the importance of finding a comfortable breathing rhythm and coordinating it with their running pace. Others discuss the advantages of nose breathing and filtering large particles. Breathing strategies like two inhales followed by one exhale or three steps per breath are also mentioned. One participant mentions the potential difficulty of maintaining a consistent breathing rhythm while matching the running pace. The discussion touches on the benefits of different breathing techniques, the use of the abdominal muscles for breathing, and the potential impact of different breathing patterns on performance and endurance.

以下是对话中关于跑步呼吸的主要观点、问题和考量的摘要:

鼻子呼吸可以过滤大颗粒物质,但在空气质量差的情况下尽量避免口呼吸。
呼吸节奏的选择因个体和舒适度而异,一般人在感觉辛苦时可能会开始使用口呼吸。
注意配合步频,不要总是在吸气时同侧腿发力。
个体之间的呼吸节奏和配速可能存在差异,但稳定的呼吸节奏可帮助维持稳定的配速。
呼吸频率过快可能会导致过度换气和头晕的感觉。
根据个体的需求和感觉,可以选择两吸一呼或两呼一吸作为呼吸模式。
腹式呼吸即通过小腹来驱动呼吸,被认为有益于跑步呼吸。
不同的动物在奔跑时有不同的呼吸频率,人类则有独特的优势在于不同步频的呼吸和脚步。

One interesting observation is that ChatGPT gives a summary before I ask any questions. The bot is trained to give response to every message.
