I've been playing around with chatgpt and have found it very useful for somethings, horrible at other things, and generally intriguing. It's clearly a very powerful tool, particularly when one considers that this is just a tiny version of what's no doubt happening behind the scenes.

So with regards to your news idea, yes, I think it could be good at that. It's still just going to give you what's been fed into it, just in a conversational style. It does do things like coding though, which is very cool.

But I also think this could be an absolute nightmare in part due to the power it will be granted. More on that in the next post.

The more controversial the question, the the more you have to dig into chatgpt. It's a weird thing and I can see what people mean when they say that you need to learn how to write prompts for it.

Here's a quick Q&A I had just a bit ago.

I am 'user', obviously. Scroll down if you don't want to read it all to where I've bolded a few lines. Very interesting exchange...

More on this topic in a bit.
