ChatGPT on I Ching at Six Levels

This study questions how ChatGPT, a large artificial intelligence (AI) text-to-text platform, can be used in handling a less popular topic with limited academic research. As the subject, I Ching or the Book of Changes was chosen. The future synthetization of I Ching and popular toolkits in the mainstream of strategic management was set as a focus. The author systematically examined the platform at six cognitive levels, based on the Bloom's Taxonomy Verb Chart, from memory to create. The preliminary evaluation reveals: 1) ChatGPT is knowledgeable, and its performances are satisfactory even in a less popular domain; 2) the platform's performances show a non-linear model along the six cognitive stages, dropping dramatically at the highest level; 3) the platform is more powerful in associating information logically than in synthesizing information imaginatively. The evaluation suggests that ChatGPT can penetrate almost any areas with enough training along the technology development. Facing it, knowledge workers have to prioritize their efforts to become AI assisted creators
