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.
