ChatGPT-4oで英会話の練習

米オープンAIは5月13日、新たにChatGPT4oを発表しました。
これは、有料プランであるChatGPT Plusに加入することで利用できます。
今chatGPT4を申し込んでいる人は自動的に利用できます。
どんどん進化するのでもうこれは無視することはできないし、取り入れてどんな活用ができるか勉強するしかないですね。

この新しいChatGPTに話しかけると、人間と会話を交わすようにリアルタイムで会話できます。確か最初に女性か男性の声か、どんなアクセントか選べたはず。

スマホのchatGPTの画面に向かってヘッドセットのマークをクリックすると普通に会話できます。
(勿論パソコンでもできますが、スマホだとどこでもできるかな)

本当にナチュラルで、早い。
”How was your day?”
と聞かれ、
”I had a long day and I am so tired.”
などというと、
”I am sorry to hear that. Why don’t you rest and relax?”
と言ってくれるので、「どうしたら気持ちよくrelaxできる?」と聞くと、5つくらいこうしろと弾丸トークで話してくるので、
「首が凝っている、どうしたらいい?具体的にいい方法を動画で見せて。」というと、Youtubeのサイトを3つくらいくれます。

その他にも、
「この夏にBOSTONに行きたいんだけど、どこがお勧め?」
というと、これは見たほうがいいと早口で言ってきます。(ものすごく沢山)

「2日しかいないんだけど。。見るべき所教えてね」というと
”day 1の朝から”と立派にitineraryを作ってくれます。

「ホテルや、レストランが高いんだって?どうすればいい?」
というと細かく節約のコツを教えてくれます。

かなりgeneralなことを行った時には、もっと詳しく教えてというと教えてくれます。

私が、「Boston, Boston」と二度口ごもると、
”あなたは二度Bostonと繰り返したが、何か意味があるのか?”と聞いてきます。

そして嬉しいことに、話した内容をスクリプトで残してくれます。

Sorry, can you make it shorter?
It is too much and I don’t think I can remember them all.

これはほんの一例ですが、この新しいChatGPT先生と英語を話し、文法とかおかしいときや、こちらの言い方が変なら直してくれというと直してくれます。

是非活用してみるといいですよ~。
