How Your Words Shape ChatGPT's Recommendations

Vibrant vector illustration. Different speech bubbles with hand drawn doodles and textures. Social ... More Media Communication concept. Ever notice how ChatGPT seems to "get" you better some days than others? It's not your imagination, but your language pattern. The way you phrase your questions — your choice of words, your dialect, even your cultural references — is quietly steering the AI's responses in ways you probably never realized. Think about it: Ask ChatGPT for career advice in formal English, then try the same question using slang or a regional dialect. The recommendations you get back might be surprisingly different. This isn't a bug — it's a feature of how language models work, and it's reshaping how we interact with AI every single day. When Your Dialect Becomes Your Disadvantage Here's something that should make us uncomfortable: ChatGPT treats different varieties of English very differently. Researchers at UC Berkeley discovered that if you speak African American Vernacular English, Scottish English, or other non-"standard" varieties, ChatGPT is more likely to respond with stereotypes, condescending explanations, and misunderstandings. The numbers are intriguing: 19% more stereotyping, 25% more demeaning content and 15% more condescending responses compared to "standard" English. Imagine asking for job interview tips and getting subtly different advice just because of how you naturally speak. This isn't just about grammar — it's about equity in AI access. The Politics Hidden In Our Prompts ChatGPT is not neutral. Different AI systems lean in different political directions — ChatGPT tends liberal, Perplexity skews conservative, while Google's Gemini tries to play it down the middle. This means when you ask for advice on controversial topics — from climate change to economic policy — the language you use might trigger different political framings. Ask about "green energy solutions" versus "energy independence," and you might get recommendations that reflect these underlying biases. The Gender Trap In AI Advice Women seeking career guidance face a particularly tricky landscape. ChatGPT shows both subtle and obvious gender biases, sometimes suggesting that women prioritize marriage over career advancement or steering them toward traditionally "female" professions. These biases often appear in the framing of recommendations rather than explicit statements. A woman asking about work-life balance might get suggestions emphasizing family considerations, while a man asking the same question gets advice focused on career optimization. How Students Are Gaming The System Students have become inadvertent experts at understanding how language shapes AI responses. They've discovered that ChatGPT provides more personalized, flexible feedback when they frame their learning requests in specific ways. Some students report feeling like ChatGPT is a study companion, while others find it cold and impersonal. The difference? Often just how they phrase their questions. "Help me understand calculus" gets a different response than "I'm struggling with calculus and feeling overwhelmed." Global Language Lottery If English isn't your first language, you're playing a different game entirely. Research across different cultural contexts shows that cultural and linguistic backgrounds dramatically influence not just how users interact with AI, but what recommendations they receive. A business owner in Singapore asking for marketing advice might get suggestions that reflect Western business practices, while someone asking the same question with American cultural references gets more locally relevant recommendations. Why This Matters We might not realize it but every interaction with AI is a linguistic negotiation. You think you're asking neutral questions and getting objective answers. In reality, you're participating in a complex dance where your word choices, cultural references and even your grammar are shaping the advice you receive. This isn't just an academic concern — it's affecting real decisions. Job seekers, students, entrepreneurs and anyone turning to AI for guidance are getting recommendations filtered through linguistic biases they never knew existed. The Path Forward: Your Language Toolkit Understanding how language influences AI recommendations isn't about feeling helpless — it's about becoming a more strategic user. Here is a practical toolkit: Acknowledge that your language choices matter. The way you ask questions isn't neutral — it's an active part of getting better recommendations. Adapt your communication style strategically. Try asking the same question in different ways: formal versus casual, with different cultural references, or from different perspectives. Assess the responses you get with fresh eyes. Ask yourself: would someone from a different background get the same advice? Amplify diverse perspectives by consciously varying your language patterns. This helps you access a broader range of recommendations. Advocate for more transparent AI systems. As more people understand linguistic bias, we can push for AI that serves everyone more fairly. The future of AI interaction isn't just about better technology — it's about better understanding how our words shape the digital minds we're increasingly relying on. By becoming more intentional about how we communicate with AI, we can get better recommendations while working toward more equitable systems for everyone. Your words have power. Language is an asset or a liability in an AI-infused society. Lets speak and type to harness it deliberately in view of the outcomes we want.

Slain UC Berkeley professor said in restraining order request ex-wife made him 'fearful' for his life

Slain UC Berkeley professor said in restraining order request ex-wife made him 'fearful' for his life

Months before Przemyslaw Jeziorski, a marketing professor from the University of California, Berkeley, was killed in Greece, he filed a request for a restraining order against his ex-wife, saying he was fearful for his life due to alleged previous instances of blackmail, financial abuse and physical assault by his ex-wife's boyfriend, according to court documents obtained by ABC News. The request was denied by a California court. Jeziorski, a 43-year-old associate marketing professor at UC Berkeley's Haas School of Business, was allegedly shot and killed in Athens on July 4 near the home where his two children -- Zoe and Angelo -- live, his younger brother said in a statement. The children, who are 10-year-old twins, had been living with the Jeziorski's ex-wife in Athens since 2020, according to court documents. In a press release shared on Thursday, police said an attacker "approached the victim and shot him in the chest and back, resulting in his fatal injury, and then fled." Five people have been arrested in connection to the killing, including the professor's ex-wife, her boyfriend and three other men who were allegedly accomplices in the murder, according to Greek police sources. All five suspects appeared in court in Athens on Thursday. Prior to the killing, Przemyslaw Jeziorski, known as "PJ" to his friends, filed a domestic violence restraining order request against his ex-wife, Konstantina Michelidaki -- who is referred to as Nadia Michelidaki by family and Greek media -- on May 9, nearly two months before his death, according to court documents filed in Alameda County Superior Court in California. In the declaration accompanying the restraining order request, Jeziorski claimed that his ex-wife had used "coercive control" to keep the children away from him in Greece, financially abused their Airbnb rental property business and threatened to hurt his reputation. He also accused her partner, who is only referred to as "Christos" in the documents, of assaulting him. Jeziorski and Michelidaki were married in March 2014 and were separated beginning on March 2021. A "bifucation of marital status was granted" by a court on Sept. 26, 2024, according to the documents. "I am fearful of what she is doing now and what she will attempt to do next as we move forward in this divorce," the professor wrote in his declaration. Allegations of physical assault by ex-wife's boyfriend In the declaration, Jeziorski detailed an alleged incident on May 15, 2024, when he visited the children in Greece and was "twice attacked and physically assaulted" by Christos. During that trip to Greece, the professor said he had dropped off his children at Michelidaki's house and said he was uncomfortable with Christos being there with the children -- which is when the boyfriend became "verbally aggressive," according to the documents. "[He] charged at me on the street, pushed me and kicked me. I screamed for help. The security guard of the German embassy came out, and Christos stopped kicking me," he alleged in the declaration. The professor had discussed his discomfort with Christos to his ex-wife previously, to which she would accuse him of lying and say that his "lawyer had instructed" him to say those things, the documents said. "She made me afraid of my life by having her partner, who is hostile and aggressive towards me, during the visitation exchange, despite my asking her not do to so," he wrote in the documents. Police in Greece were contacted regarding this attack and criminal charges were previously filed against Christos, the professor wrote in the restraining order. ABC News has not verified whether charges were filed in Greece regarding the alleged assault Claims of financial abuse, blackmail by ex-wife In the restraining order request, the professor also accused Michelidaki of blackmailing him and threatening to end his career. "Her goal was to humiliate me socially in order to control me and the finances. She did this to get me to drop the indictment against her partner regarding his physical abuse," Jeziorski said in the declaration. He claimed she had accused him of "failing to give her co-authorship of my research papers" and "threatened to contact my colleagues and the dean of my department if I did not pay her money." "Her allegations are baseless; however, this is a serious and sensitive topic for my academic reputation," he wrote in the restraining order. He alleged his ex-wife also attempted to transfer money from their business accounts to her private bank accounts -- meaning she "pocketed" the income from their Airbnb business that was "meant to pay for the carrying cost of the rental properties," which resulted in a "bounced mortgage payment," he wrote in the declaration. In the restraining order request, the professor requested that his ex-wife be ordered to stop contacting him (except with "reasonable communication regarding the children"), stop making defamatory statements against him, stop contacting anyone in the academic field related to him and that the court prohibit her control over any of the bank accounts related to their rental properties. He requested she be ordered to remain at least 100 yards away from him with an exception for "peaceful contact to exchange our children for custody purposes." The court denied Jeziorski's restraining order request because "the facts given in the request do not show reasonable proof of a past act or acts of abuse" and that the "facts given in the request do not give enough detail about the most recent incidents of abuse," according to a checklist in the documents. Now after his murder, Jeziorski's two children -- who are U.S. and Polish citizens -- are "under care in accordance with Greek child custody procedures," his brother said in a statement to ABC News on Thursday. The five suspects in his killing will have another court appearance on Monday, according to Greek police sources.

‘She made me afraid': Slain UC Berkeley professor sought restraining order against ex-wife

Two months before Przemyslaw Jeziorski was shot to death in Greece outside his ex-wife's home, the UC Berkeley professor sought a restraining order against her, saying he feared for his life. Jeziorski, 43, sought the court order amid a child custody and property battle with ex-wife Nadia Michelidaki, 43, accusing her of threats and extortion attempts, and her boyfriend of assaulting him twice during visits to her suburban Athens home to see his children. The request for a restraining order, filed in Alameda County Superior Court in May, detailed increasingly hostile behavior from Jeziorski's ex-wife and her boyfriend that made Jeziorski worry about what more they might do to him. Jeziorski was killed on July 4 as he was walking to Michelidaki's home to see his children. Earlier this week, Greek police arrested Michelidaki, her partner and three others, charging them with Jeziorski's killing. In an interview with the Chronicle, Michelidaki's attorney, Alexandros Pasiatas, said his client was not involved in Jeziorski's killing. Jeziorski and Michelidaki had visited a child psychologist and come to an agreement on their children's custody and summer plans, he said. Michelidaki had been 'very, very happy' with the agreement, he said, adding that it 'wouldn't make sense' for her to then have her partner kill Jeziorski half an hour later. Michelidaki was in police custody as of Thursday and will remain there until a hearing on July 21, when a judge will decide whether Michelidaki should remain in jail pending trial. Her children are currently under the care of the state, Pasiatas said. Jeziorski and Michelidaki married in 2014. Jeziorski filed for divorce in fall 2021, citing irreconcilable differences, and their marriage was dissolved in 2024, although bitter divorce proceedings continued as the couple fought over child custody and shared property. Jeziorski and Michelidaki negotiated an agreement where Jeziorski could take his children on vacation in July every year. In the 12-page restraining order request, Jeziorski accused Michelidaki of a raft of abusive behavior, such as sabotaging their mutual business, attempting to damage his professional reputation and withholding their children from him. He said he was assaulted twice by Michelidaki's partner, Christos Dounias, when he visited her home to drop off or pick up his children. During the first incident, on May 1, 2024, he said Dounias knocked his phone out of his hand during one exchange as he was on a phone call with his brother. Later that day, when he returned to the home to drop his children off, he said, Dounias came down to pick up the kids. 'I told him that since he had assaulted me, I was not comfortable leaving the kids with him for fear of their safety,' Jeziorski wrote in support of his request for a restraining order. He threatened to report Dounias for kidnapping if he took the children. At that point, he said, Dounias charged out of the home and began pushing and kicking him. Jeziorski wrote that he believed his ex-wife 'repeatedly' had Dounias pick up the children instead of appearing herself, which he viewed as a tactic to intimidate him. 'She made me afraid of my life by having her partner, who is hostile and aggressive towards me, (present) during the visitation exchange, despite my asking her not to do so,' he wrote. After the May 2024 incident, authorities charged Dounias with assault, Jeziorski said. Jeziorski went on to accuse Michelidaki of violating their custody agreement and refusing to renew their children's passports, 'which prevents me from taking them to see their grandparents. … Their grandfather is very advanced in age and I want my children to see them before he dies.' In his request for a restraining order, he also detailed several other incidents. In one, in early 2025, he said Michelidaki attempted to extort money from him by sending him messages on Slack accusing him of failing to give her co-authorship on research papers, threatening to 'contact my colleagues and the dean of my department if I did not pay her money.' 'Any small accusation of plagiarism will absolutely destroy my credibility and station in the academic community,' he said, calling the allegations 'a complete lie and slander,' and saying that many of the papers she wanted credit for were written years before the two met. He also said Michelidaki threatened to call police when he held a graduation party in early May at a Berkeley short-term rental property he and she co-owned. Jeziorski wrote that he believed Michelidaki was trying to 'humiliate me socially in order to control me' and their finances, and to get him to drop charges against her current partner. He went on to accuse Michelidaki of taking money out of their joint real estate accounts, actions that he said caused 'chaos' and made him worry she might damage his finances or create debts, and asked for sole control of the account and other business accounts. In the document, Jeziorski asked a judge to order Michelidaki to cease communications with him, to stop making defamatory statements about him and to stop contacting his professional colleagues. Court documents detail other aspects of the deterioration of Jeziorski and Michelidaki's relationship, including Jeziorski's allegation that Michelidaki was attempting to withhold their children from him and her attempts at tarnishing his reputation as an academic. This summer, Jeziorski planned to take his children to Poland, where they traveled annually to visit their grandparents, and the U.S. for a trip to Disneyland. In May, Jeziorski emailed Michelidaki, requesting she take their children to passport renewal appointments at the U.S. Embassy in Athens for their upcoming vacation with him. Michelidaki responded, 'Take them to the one in Paris. And what about your 'dying father'? Don't care to visit him anymore or he quit dying?' 'We don't need to talk this way. My father is not well,' Jeziorski wrote. Court documents also show that Jeziorski felt Michelidaki was threatening his career as a tenured professor of marketing at the Haas School of Business. Jeziorski said that In April, Michelidaki accused him of plagiarism in his research by failing to cite her as a co-author in 'every publication that gave (him) tenure position,' court documents show. 'Adding my name to the Airbnb reviews paper is not acceptable form of attribution. I want my name removed from this embarrassing paper and added to the papers I received in similarly embarrassing state and turned into top journal publications. But seriously remove my name from this trash today,' Michelidaki wrote to Jeziorski. Jeziorski said Michelidaki played no role in writing these papers; she 'never meaningfully contributed to the research beyond scanning a page or two for commas and grammar errors,' Jeziorski said in the court documents. Concurrent with Michelidaki's request for co-authorship, he said she also messaged Jeziorski on Slack demanding more child support. Jeziorski wrote to the court that the two negotiated he would pay 30,000 euros (more than $34,000 in U.S. funds today) per year in child support, in addition to paying for their children's private school tuition. 'Your child support is now 120k per year,' Michelidaki messaged, according to the court documents. 'If you would like to change the mediated agreement please contact my lawyer,' Jeziorski responded. 'I do not want to talk about it in the work slack channel. Also, please do not contact me about extra money demands or with threats of lawsuits of any kind.' Michelidaki responded, 'search up the term threats as you don't know how to use it.' She then threatened to report Jeziorski for plagiarism again to his senior colleague in the marketing department of Haas, 'I'll get paid for my work one way or another. I'll write a book too. I have so many plans for this year!!!' 'Although I know her threats are baseless, I am still intimidated by her actions,' Jeziorski wrote to the court. 'Her baseless allegations will harm my economic prospects for employment and completely damage my reputation in the intellectual community, regardless of their truth.' Court documents show Michelidaki threatened to call police on Jeziorski. As a part of Jeziorski's responsibilities as a tenured professor at Haas, he threw a graduation reception this spring for recent graduates at an Airbnb rental property he co-owned with Michelidaki in Berkeley. Jeziorski said he independently rented the property on Airbnb for the event. 'I know you are at the property,' Michelidaki wrote in an email. 'Do you really want to deal with the police during the party with your students?'
