Have you given ChatGPT a chance? it is a game changer and probably the next disruptive technology available to us. Even in its infancy, what it can do is quite amazing. It will be the technology that ignites so very much more, and quickly. I have 30+ years as a mercenary IT consultant, so I’ve got a little bit of insight. Prompt it with something like the following: "extract all of the goals in the following text". And then paste that data set and hit enter. when I first looked at it, there were options and configurations. Now it just gives you a text box, but that still might work. I need to find the site that let you configure it.

So far I’ve only used it to write content with queries such as, "write me a paragraph about looking for sponsors for a charity music festival on memorial day weekend." it cranked out a beautifully written paragraph with so much extra added in about how festivals are fun and bring the community together, blah blah blah.

However, it can also write code, and this is where it gets interesting, and a bit scary. I have said for decades that the minute we can get AI or a computer that can write code. It is game over. Why? Because it can exponentially write better and better code, which could mean improving itself. i’m not saying that it would choose to improve itself, operators would need to tell it to basically. However, all of the operators told it to keep improving itsself in some aspect. No, not sentient, but a exponential explosion of technology. It doesn’t have to be relegated to just writing code.
