In practical life, you must have come across various terms and condition type documents which are intentionally or otherwise impossible to read. Examples include Insurance, credit card, promotion pdfs etc.

You can switch to video version of this article

And more than often, you get a surprise when you go to claim the promised rewards or benefits for these products that sorry, clause this and that or exclusions mentioned in terms and conditions make you ineligible to claim the reward, insurance or whatever. And of course, you have not read the entire document as it was near impossible to do and not everyone has a lawyer on their payroll to help them in reading and finding such exclusions. Well now you are in luck as you have an assistant that can help you.

ChatGPT is primarily a chatbot, and as you will discover in another video in series on the topic, chatbots are able to answer questions about a subject matter they have been trained on. And what I mean by this is questions they are not directly trained to answer. This incredible ability has an interesting side effect that they are able to answer questions hidden in what we humans typically call ‘fine print’.

Complicated terms and conditions and clauses only a handful of us are trained to read and understand. I would be amazed if you ever read one in entirety, and comprehend it enough to answer complicated questions like what makes you ineligible in this or that scenario, or what is the maximum limit of benefit etc. You can count on ChatGPT to read it fully and answer. So what are you waiting for, feed a complex draft to ChatGPTand ask any questions about it like what happens if I miss my minimum payment on credit card, or how much depreciation would be applicable if you are in an accident in second year. Do share your feedback in comments.

Deciphering fine print may be one of the most useful features of ChatGPT. ChatGPT has excellent analysis ability and can do its job well. It, however, needs you to ask the right questions, which is the difficult part, but techniques like iterative prompting or prompt engineering may help you out. Again do share your feedback, and clap/share if you found this article informative. You can subscribe to my YouTube channel to get notified of new content from me. Thanks for reading. Good bye.
