In this brief segment, Stacy Chin answers whether she would use ChatGPT to draft Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) grant applications. She firmly says no, explaining that SBIR proposals are typically crafted by domain experts and require substantial strategic thought. Consequently, she advises against starting SBIR drafts with ChatGPT, emphasizing the need for expert-driven, thoughtful preparation.
So either way, if you were to ask me, Stacy Chin, would you use ChatGPT to help you write initial drafts of SBIR applications? Unfortunately, my answer would be no. And this is because a lot of SBIR applications are usually prepared by experts in those fields. A lot of thought and strategy has to go into initial draft, and for those reasons, I wouldn't recommend using ChatGPT to start your initial drafts from the get-go.
