Query: Why do Thais tend to procrastinate so much?

 

Response: 

The tendency for Thais to procrastinate is a complex issue that is influenced by a variety of cultural, social, and individual factors. Some possible reasons for this include:

1. Cultural values: Thai culture places a strong emphasis on maintaining harmony and avoiding conflict, which may lead to a tendency to avoid making decisions or taking action that could potentially cause tension or upset others.

2. Social norms: In Thai society, there is a strong expectation to conform to group norms and avoid standing out. This can lead to a lack of motivation to take initiative or make decisions independently.

3. Education system: The Thai education system tends to focus on rote learning and memorization, which may not encourage independent thinking or problem-solving skills. This can make it difficult for Thai students to develop the skills necessary to plan and complete tasks effectively.

4. Lack of urgency: Thailand has a more relaxed pace of life compared to many other countries, which can lead to a lack of urgency and a tendency to put things off.

5. Fear of failure: Failure is viewed as a negative thing in Thai culture, which can lead people to avoid taking risks or trying new things for fear of failing.

It's important to note that these are generalizations and not all Thai people procrastinate. Additionally, procrastination is a human behavior that can be found across cultures, and it can be influenced by personal factors such as personality, motivation, and mental health.

Typical ChatGPT.

Generalizing, noncommittal blabla. Like a politician. 

Copy and paste from the internet (which is what it is).

Yawn.

From what I've seen from these AI's, they lack knowledge of or not programmed to consider the affect of religion in answers.

Most Thais are Buddhist and thus believe in Karma:

'The result of any form of action is not determined by not only by the act but also the intent.'

Sometimes karma is used incorrectly as an excuse for inaction or error. It gives excuse for not thinking or caring.

It’s interesting and good to be aware of AI. To be aware of the cow dung that is and will be sent our way… seeing is believing only if you can touch it..
