James Smith – becomes: Dear Mr. Smith,
Emily Anderson – becomes: Dear Mrs. Anderson,

As the owner of an online store, I faced the challenge of personalizing communication without spending endless hours on manual adjustments. My goal was to automatically add friendly personal greetings like “Dear Sir” or “Dear Madam” to customer names in my spreadsheet. To make this process smoother, I turned to ChatGPT.

Execution:

1. Prompt for ChatGPT: I initiated the process by providing a list of names and instructing ChatGPT to generate personalized greetings based on each name. For example:diffCopy code
   - James Smith - David Brown
- Michael Johnson - Brian Williams
2. Instruction: Instructed ChatGPT to create appropriate greetings without explicitly mentioning gender information. The goal was to see if ChatGPT could discern gender patterns inherent in the names.
3. Observation: To my amazement, ChatGPT successfully recognized gender patterns within names. For instance, it generated:diffCopy code
   
   - James Smith -> Dear Mr. Smith,
- David Brown -> Dear Mr. Brown,
- Michael Johnson -> Dear Mr. Johnson,
- Brian Williams -> Dear Mr. Williams,
   
   The understanding displayed by ChatGPT, recognizing “James” and “Michael” as male names, showcases its remarkable ability to discern gender without specific gender-related prompts.
   
   In short:

I asked ChatGPT to generate the right personal greetings based on the names alone, without explicitly providing gender information. What astonished me was that ChatGPT, with its remarkable understanding, discerned gender patterns inherent in names. For instance, it recognized “Jasmine” as female and “Michael” as male without any additional input.

Guiding ChatGPT: Organizing Names into Excel Cells for Seamless Formatting

The results were initially all in one cell, which didn’t match the Excel format where each name should be in a separate cell.
To address this, I clarified my instructions and specifically instructed ChatGPT to format the names in separate cells, like 22C, 23C, and 24C. Remarkably, ChatGPT adapted accordingly.

Conclusion:

Teaming up with ChatGPT has led to an automated and personal touch in customer communication for my online store. The astounding ability of ChatGPT to recognize gender patterns within names and adapt the formatting accordingly has made this process not only efficient but also almost magical.
