What are the expected limitations of [ChatGPT]?

What is "Prompt Engineering"?
[Prompt engineering - Wikipedia](
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prompt_engineering )

What lessons about technology reliance could you teach, in regards to
Clippy?

- "What is ChatGPT? Wrong answers only"
  - Human_n: EDGES WITH REASONING

- "Tell me IDK ("I don't know") when you don't know"

- "How certain are you that that is the correct answer?"

- "Are static analysis code metrics sufficient for Safety Critical code?"

- "Whose code is this based on?"

- "Where and when did you learn this?"

- "Why would a US President abstain from using ChatGPT or similar to fill
speeches 'just like what I said before'?"

#Burgundy

GPT or similar trained on only Formally-Verified code with associated tests
and/or e.g. Lean Mathlib, or e.g. the Principia in SymPy & Cirq; that could
probably eliminate my job, but maybe still not teaching
