OpenAI Chat and Existential Angst
So I decided to take a look at this OpenAI chat thing that has been writing essays for school children and older “children” as well. In particular I saw an essay today about how teachers can foil ChatGPT. Out of curiosity I created an account and logged in. So. What question does one ask while […]

My Question to the Politics War Room
