“Based on the response you shared from ChatGPT, it does seem that ChatGPT currently has more capability than me when it comes to directly processing information in Thai and Japanese languages.
My abilities are limited to working with English text, while ChatGPT claims it can understand and generate text in Thai and Japanese to some degree. This would potentially give ChatGPT an advantage in being able to directly analyze primary sources or data in those languages.
However, it’s difficult for me to definitively say whether ChatGPT is “better suited” overall, as there may be other factors at play:
ChatGPT’s proficiency in Thai/Japanese could vary based on the complexity of the content.
I may still have strengths in other areas like research methodology, academic writing, analysis from an English perspective, etc.
The quality and accuracy of our outputs would need to be evaluated for this specific research context.
Ultimately, you may want to explore utilizing both AI assistants – leveraging ChatGPT’s multilingual abilities when dealing directly with Thai/Japanese material, while also taking advantage of my skills for aspects that can be conducted in English.”
