As long as you remember that it IS a machine…

I use ChatGPT fairly frequently and have asked it questions ranging from
hydrodynamics to Latin. Once I asked it to convert kilograms to stones and
pounds, and it got it wrong! TWICE, and differently.

My eldest son uses it often; he finds it can write good software. My second
son uses it for that too, and also to discuss radio related topics.

And my daughter uses it now and then.

The eldest uses other AI-based chat engines, too.

So as a family we are quite ChatGPT/AI aware.

I am about to discuss a problem in Family History research with it.

Old John.
