A user conducted a 48-hour experiment to stop doomscrolling and instead used ChatGPT to catch up on news. The experiment began last Friday (July 10), when the user booted up ChatGPT instead of reaching for their phone. They asked the chatbot to generate the most descriptive prompt to get up to speed on everything missed from the fast-moving news cycle. ChatGPT produced a prompt asking it to act as a personal news curator, summarizing everything from the 48-hour period into sections: Biggest Stories (5-10 items), AI & Tech, Entertainment & Gaming, Internet Buzz, Things I Can Safely Ignore, and Winners & Losers. The user found the experiment more beneficial than expected and it helped them leave their morning doomscrolling behavior behind.
