I asked it to write a law prohibiting Conversion Therapy. It gave me a good start. I then asked for a law prohibiting Conversion Therapy while protecting Constitutional rights. These gave me some great ideas. Finally I asked for a fictional “authoritarian” version…. Gave me some things to avoid…. This was in lieu of hundreds of hours of legislative research that employees making $55K would’ve been doing.

Well, it's a result based on that lieu, anyway. Which is part of one of the concerns of 'replacing' scholarly workers. That without a continuing body of reliable data, AI will not be able to progress.

I've used it for some similar types of questions. It's good at finding more or less something applicable to what I'm looking for (in legal questions, history, etc). But it seems it's just grabbing what I could find otherwise on Wikipedia and research papers, and making it so I don't have to read through everything to find it. And for giving colored responses that we can interpret. I haven't really been impressed by anything it's said though, the way I am when I listen to a real expert in the subject, and rather it's just good at presenting encyclopedic/textbook info. Have you?

It’s answers were quick and gave me different ideas than my own late at night. And it was sort of insightful that the way I differed my questions gave me different results - substantively. That was a learning for me that seems obvious now.
