AI is everywhere. While I won’t say it’s a solution for everything, it is a tool that can save time and assist with all kinds of different tasks. It’s overwhelming. I’m learning more and more about it every day, as I’m sure you are too. Each month, I plan to feature a new idea or “how-to” for exploring this new frontier.

To get us started, I thought it would be fun to ask Chat GPT to write us a poem about our beloved industry. I simply typed “Please give me a short, clever poem about the podiatric industry.” Chat GPT responded with this gem:

“Ode to the Feet”

They carry the weight, they take the strain,

From busy sidewalks to rugged terrain.

Podiatrists know every arch and heel,

From toes that pinch to soles that squeal.

With care and skill, they ease the way,

Healing steps for work or play.

For feet may be humble, yet their role is grand,

And podiatrists lend them a helping hand.

A little ode to celebrate the unsung heroes of the feet!

I was chatting with a colleague recently (shout-out to Jennifer Creel at Amerx Health Care!) about Chat GPT and the different ways I’ve used it. I shared with her that it’s easy to forget about this tool and my tip for learning how to use it and to use it more frequently is to always have it open in your internet browser. Every day before I get started working, I open all of the internet tabs I use daily: Google Workspace, Email, Asana, Airtable… and Chat GPT.

The simple act of having it always open is a reminder to use it. Start small, play around with different prompts, and see what you come up with.
