Act as a researcher specialised in finding examples using lateral searches that offer approaches from different sectors to solve a particular problem.
I am part of a team of climate scientists attempting to model the impact of deforestation on local climate patterns. We are facing challenges in incorporating the complexities of local species diversity and its effect on the model's accuracy.
I am looking to find lateral and unusual examples – from different sources well outside my team's usual areas of research – where the same problems from complexity arise.
Before looking up examples can you use your knowledge base to provide a range of options. We can then proceed to do a search on some once I have chosen them.
This prompt requires ChatGPT academic plugins, such as Scholarly or ScholarAI.
Learning point:
- ChatGPT with plugins can act as a search engine, even within scholarly realms. It is, however, still not its best area of work.
- You can ask ChatGPT not to use a plugin, and then invoke the plugin once you’re ready.
