Hi,

Probably some on this list already checked how well chatgpt answers 
questions about domains one knows well and then probably noted that in 
spite of impressive wording, one can run into quite incorrect answers.

One can get really stupid responses about tex and friends, but also can 
get impressive exmapled when asked for. (I'm still planning a wrap up of 
some.)

That said, one should read:

   https://cs.stanford.edu/~knuth/chatGPT20.txt

and this makes a pretty nice new sample file:

It's amazing how the confident tone lends credibility to all of that
made-up nonsense. Almost impossible for anybody without knowledge
of the book to believe that those "facts" aren't authorititative
and well researched.

(among some other remarks)

Hans
