Can ChatGPT help make tough decisions easier? 🤔 Part two...

Dive into the second part of this series where I use AI to weigh the pros and cons of four potential newsletter names.

Hey Prompt Masters!

Let’s continue…

In today’s edition of Promptedia we pick up on yesterday’s series opener using creatively engineered ChatGPT prompts to evaluate and compare potential names for an email newsletter.

In part two, I share the next step I took in my collaboration with AI which was to weigh the pros and cons of the four potential name choices. Additionally, I allowed AI to come up with a scoring mechanism on its own.

Weighing my options

Oh decisions decisions. 🤔

Which name to go with?! 🤷‍♂️ Ugh.

To escape the potential for analysis paralysis and the anxiety of having to pick, I had the thought that ChatGPT attributing a score to the names will make it easier for me to make an apples-to-apples comparison of the options. I hoped that a numerical value of the strength of each name would help me to pick one with a greater degree of confidence.

The prompt

I asked…

Given all that you've identified about how to position each of these four names for the newsletter, I would like you to now rank these four naming and branding options from least preferred or recommended to most.

Not only do I want you to order them from worst to best, I'd like you to assign an independent score for each on a scale of 0 to 100 reflective of how well you think the branding could resonate and gain traction in the AI newsletter space that is rapidly becoming more crowded.

Additionally, I would like you to list 5 pros and 5 cons for each one based on whatever criteria you deem most essential which could include brand uniqueness, memorability, relatability, or another metric that you identify as essential to the success of a newsletter launch.

Breaking down this prompt you’ll see I used a combination of specificity and ambiguity in instruction to AI. I’ll explain why…

  • “all that you’ve identified” … I want to be sure ChatGPT takes into account all that we’ve discussed about the potential names.

  • “from least … to most” … I want the name that AI thinks is best at the end so a) I can detect the increasing value of / reasoning for the names as I read the response from top to bottom, and b) the best option is at the end of the response so that should I scroll up to reference again it is closest to the end of the thread.

  • “independent score” … I didn’t want ChatGPT to score them in relation to each other in case it deems two or more names as being similar in value it will show that. Of course, my wish is that it doesn’t, especially a tie among the best score as that won’t help my decision making. 😬🤦‍♂️

  • “how well you think” … I gave rather ambiguous scoring conditions on purpose as I wanted to see what AI might come up with for scoring as that might differ from what I would think of.

  • “5 pros and 5 cons” … I want to be sure I get an equal number of factors in support of and against each name. This will also give me some insight into what factors ChatGPT used to score the names.

3. aiquiri (Score: 75/100): Memorable and unique but with potential drawbacks due to its playful nature and alcohol association.

4. creaided (Score: 70/100): Interesting and creative, but the unconventional spelling and initial perception may pose challenges.

Each name has its unique strengths and potential drawbacks, but GNRAIT stands out as the most robust option for a professional, memorable, and versatile AI newsletter brand.

Sadly, the name that I was leaning towards before this query did not fair so well. I guess I shouldn’t have been surprised given the loose association with alcohol. I thought perhaps the branding plays and the spelling just being one letter off from the real word of daiquiri would have resulted in a better score.

At this point, I switched my favoritism to MAiGNIFY. Yeah, GNRAIT rated better but not by much. I favored the second place finisher because of the power of the word magnify and not all AI benefits are specific to generating media.

However, I remained unsatisfied with the analysis. It’s not like I thought ChatGPT did a bad job scoring these. Not at all. Rather, I just felt in my gut that I didn’t yet have all I needed to thoroughly consider my options.

Coming next…

So, that led to continued collaboration. Our next back and forth exchange explored how the potential names could be tested before settling on a winning choice. Check out part three for that prompt.

Until next time,
