I am generally resisting AI with every fiber in my being, but this looks pretty benign. Thanks for sharing.

In Philly we have mostly multi-caller evenings, where the coordinator gets dance submissions from many callers (in many formats), creates a program, and sends out the result. Sometimes the program looks like a fruit salad of formats, but (OCD?) I like everything to be concise and uniform. See example below, where ChatGPT unifies dances in 4 formats — Callers Box, one posted here, my website, and Bob Isaacs’ format. It took a few tries to refine the instructions (and I only tried this one output format), but in the end it’s a pretty amazing result from minimal instructions in plain English. Rick ========================= My Instructions to ChatGPT ========================= Please reformat the contra dances below as follows: Format dance headers as e.g. “Title (Author) Formation” If formation is omitted, use “Duple Improper” Format part names as e.g. “A1: ”. Eliminate beat counts for figures (like “8”). Put a part’s figures on one line, separated by commas, no period or spaces at the end. And this is important — format as plain text, do not format as markdown.
