Unexplored Junior Question Box Q: What do projects that fail have in common? What are the projects that are most likely to fail? A: I thought it was a difficult question so I asked ChatGPT and they said there are five, so I will look at them one by one (continued)
ChatGPT â1: sense of purpose is not clear: The purpose of Unexplored Junior is to support meaningful projects that contribute to society. Projects are more likely to fall through the cracks if their sense of purpose is not clear or not well explained.â
- It depends on the mentor how much emphasis is placed on whether it is a social contribution or not
- If the purpose of the project is unclear, or if it is clear to the applicant but not well explained to the mentor who reads the document, it will be easier to fail.
ChatGPT â2: Unrealistic: Unexplored Juniors are expected to provide solutions to social problems that are technically feasible and realistic. Ideas that are impractical or difficult to implement can cause a project to fall through.â
- Projects that are novel ideas but not technically feasible will not be selected.
- It depends on the mentor whether the emphasis is on âa solution to a social problem.â The emphasis is on âtechnically feasible. If the explanation here is well written, the mentor will think, âWell, it sure sounds feasible if we do that. If this part is vague, the mentor will say, âHow do you plan to realize it? If the explanation here is vague, the mentor will think, âWell, if we do that, we can achieve it.
ChatGPT â3: Technically Immature: The purpose of Unexplored Junior is to support high school students with technical competence⌠Poorly completed programs or applications, or insufficient solutions to technical problems, can cause a project to fail. It will.â
- It does not have to be completed at the application stage.
- Personally, I donât place much importance on technical skills at the start if I can see the potential for fast growth during the adoption period, but that said, the more technical skills you have at the application stage, the more advantageous it is. It is very easy to understand if you have actually created something.
ChatGPT â4: Team membersâ roles are not clear: Unexplored Juniors are expected to work on projects as a team. Lack of clear division of roles among team members or insufficient cooperation can cause a project to fall through.â
- I donât know about this⌠it could be counterproductive.
- Of course, âInsufficient cooperation among team membersâ is a negative.
- I see the problem with âclear role-sharing of team membersâ. Whether this is a good thing or not is questionable. Because you are all students, and unlike working people who do this as their job, your âmain job is to study,â (continued)
- Compared to a working division of labor team, there is less of a reason for members to stay involved in the project. For example, it could happen that a member is no longer involved in the development of a project during the summer vacation because he or she did not perform well in the first semester. If there are four members, the risk is four times higher than in a one-person project, and if the division of labor is clear at that time, there will be no one in charge.
- I fear that the term âclear division of rolesâ may not be an appropriate construct. It is important that âno memberâs contribution to the project is unclear,â but the team leader should be willing to fill in for himself if the rest of the team members are missing.
ChatGPT â5: Low market value: unexplored juniors are intended to support technical ideas and projects, but projects with low market value tend to fall through.â
- I think thatâs as different as it gets. w
- ChatGPT âIf there is no demand in the market or no advantage over existing products or services, this can cause a project to fall through.â
- I think it would be âwowâ if we could show market demand at the proposal stage. I donât know of any proposal that does that. I donât think there is.
- Proposals that donât know the difference from the existing ones certainly beg the question, âWhatâs the difference?â I think it is a good idea to explain clearly what the difference is. I think it would be good to explain clearly what the difference is.
In this way, once you have ChatGPT write something that you canât explain from scratch, and then read it yourself, you will find something that you can say, âNo, this is different! You can find something that you canât explain well from scratch. By paying attention to such âuncomfortable feelingâ, you will find it easier to put your thoughts into words. Please try using ChatGPT!
This is nothing special about AI. There may be mentors who think, âNo, thatâs not true!â There may be mentors who think, âNo, thatâs not right! This would cause a discussion and make everyoneâs thoughts more organized. By taking a step forward, even if itâs a messy one, instead of stepping back and worrying, we have a chance to make it better.
