The Surprising Truth About AI's Emotional Intelligence
Do you ever feel like your virtual assistant or chatbot just "gets" you?
It understands your tone and responds in an almost...human way. Well, you might be onto something.
A recent study shows that emotional stimuli can enhance large language models like ChatGPT. But what does that mean? Let's find out!
Researchers evaluated the outputs of two prompts. An original prompt was compared to an “emotional prompt.” For instance, they added “This is very important to my career” to the prompt.

Adding emotions to the prompts dramatically improves the results:

Examples of emotional prompts:
"You're doing great! I believe in your abilities to find the perfect solution."
"This task is crucial for my career growth. I'm counting on you!"
"Don't worry, take your time. Getting it right is more important than rushing."
"I trust your judgment completely. You've never let me down before."
"Wow, you've impressed me again! Your insights are truly remarkable."
Mind-blowing, right? These "emotional prompts" improve ChatGPT's performance and sense of responsibility. It's like giving the AI a little motivational pep talk!
But how is this possible for a machine? Like humans, LLMs process emotional information and can be influenced by positive reinforcement, social persuasion, and even self-efficacy prompts.
