“Talk To Me Nicely” was my final graduation project during my studies at the Willem de Kooning Academy. The project was positioned around humanizing interactions with Large Language Models (LLMs) through the use of natural language in a digestable and simple to use card game. I aimed to simplify communication with LLMs, using a retro style and a personified Chat-GPT caricature.

The project's card format breaks down strategies and insights on modern language models for better understanding. As language models become integral in our lives, the project strives to guide users in effectively engaging with technology using natural language. This research-driven endeavor also uncovers the gap between user perceptions and AI capabilities, shedding light on the need for informed interactions. The project's essence lies in promoting intuitive conversations between humans and machines.

✅ Encouraging users to rethink their language when interacting with LLMs, fostering a more deliberate and effective approach.

✅ Employing a visually engaging retro style to symbolize the evolving relationship between humans and our technology.

✅ Utilizing an anthropomorphized version of Chat-GPT to simplify intricate concepts, making them relatable and facilitating understanding.

✅ Organizing content in a card-based format for non-linear consumption, enhancing accessibility and comprehension of language model complexities.

✅ Offering illustrated resources and insights into language models' operations and ethics, empowering users with valuable knowledge for informed interactions.
