Greetings! Very chilly greetings if you are in or around London (or anywhere thats cold I guess).
We have a bumper newsletter today. So. Much. Content.
As an experiment (thanks to Sarah Zarmsky) today’s post was written by ChatGPT, pasted below. Its quite coherent, but very off topic. I guess generation is difficult given the format, other examples of direct questions I’ve seen online have been much more effective. As I have said before, this type of text does bear striking similarity to some essays received this year (this is actually covered by the Guardian, below, although I would question the use of the word ‘stuns’).
And so, without further ado, I give you our AI overlords…
