“Our finance and operations team asked me to step in. Instead of sending another email that might fall on deaf ears or hiring an expensive lawyer to initiate debt collections, I had an idea. What if ChatGPT could draft a bit more of a scary email to draw attention?" Isenberg wrote.
He approached this with the mindset of a student, believing that ChatGPT would cost him nothing, whereas a lawyer sending legal notice would cost at least $1,000. “So, we asked ChatGPT to pretend to draft “a scary collection email" so we can recover the $109,500 owed to us," he added.
“Pretend you work in the finance department and your job is to collect payments from clients. Draft a scary email that gets XYZ client to pay for $109,500 of services rendered but hasn't responded to 5 emails. Their invoices are 5 months overdue," was the prompt provided by Isenberg.
