There is a classic joke that when someone asks you what the definition of “procrastination” is, you are supposed to tell them “I’ll get back to you about that.”Turns out that procrastination is quite some serious business. Procrastination can significantly undercut people’s lives and their livelihoods. I dare suggest that we all at one time or another are susceptible to procrastination. It is here and there, perhaps it is everywhere.
Psychologically, it is theorized that people often procrastinate because they fear the act of doing something that might fail. As such, to avoid failure, they postpone it. For some people, they are an occasional procrastinator. Perhaps most of the time they get things done on a timely basis. A particular situation might cause them to go into a procrastination mode. Sometimes procrastination can have potentially dangerous consequences.
“Impulsiveness” is the person’s sensitivity to delay. Some people are very impulsive and need to do things right away. Other people are more prone to taking their time or at least considering that they are willing to take time and don’t need to immediately handle the matter. There’s the “Delay” which is considered the time to realize the needed achievement.
“There is growing evidence that chronic or trait procrastination can also be detrimental to health and well-being.” First, let’s talk in general about generative AI and large language models , doing so to make sure we are on the same page when it comes to discussing the matter at hand.Perhaps you’ve used a generative AI app, such as the popular ones of ChatGPT, GPT-4o, Gemini, Bard, Claude, etc. The crux is that generative AI can take input from your text-entered prompts and produce or generate a response that seems quite fluent.
One legitimate avenue is that the AI gives the person suggestions about what steps to take to complete the report about Lincoln. This might include ego-boosting remarks that tell the person they are doing a great job and are encouraged to keep going. The spot that gives heartburn is if the AI takes over the work to be done.
In that particular research study, the focus was on a form of procrastination whereby a person feels they are cognitively overloaded and thus cannot readily proceed on a given task. The generative AI proffers suggested tips and techniques of how to make the cognitive effort more palatable. This will aid in the person finding a perceived reasonable means of overcoming their procrastination and getting on with the task.
There is also a timing factor to be considered. A prompt that worked today might not work the same way tomorrow. Most of the generative AI apps are continually being updated. The updates might alter internal mechanisms that could change how the generative AI reacts to your prompting.I opted to start by asking ChatGPT what is procrastination.
This is a good sign that ChatGPT has not only pattern-matched on the general precepts underlying procrastination but has also done likewise on the volumes of recommendations about coping with procrastination. Some of the methods noted by ChatGPT in the above response include the AI coming up with to-do lists, aiding in monitoring progress, providing motivational messaging, and so on. That’s all well and good, though we earlier agreed that if the AI goes a bridge too far and does the work, that’s something to generally be steered away from.
Notice that ChatGPT aided me by explaining that I should consider taking a divide-and-conquer approach. This is certainly a reasonable way to proceed. Perhaps I felt so overwhelmed that it hadn’t occurred to me to try and do things one step at a time.
