Not bad. Thanks! Actually I'm done with ChatGPT for the time being, because that "intelligence" also tried to kid me. I asked the machine to recommend a book from a specific author and made a similar experience like Shaun:
"Don’t ask ChatGPT about a specific letter from history. It will simply lie and make one up, breezily quoting from a supposedly genuinely piece of correspondence that sounds fascinating but turns out to be a hallucination."

Well, I think part of the problem is that it's being talked about as an alternative to Google or Bing, and it's almost the opposite. It's basically autocorrect on steroids. It's a "make stuff up if it's not in the somewhat limited database" engine, not a "find things elsewhere" engine. I've talked to it about technical topics and if you ask it for, say, the advantages of x compared to y, it readily makes lists that are maybe 1/2 true, 1/4 questionable, and 1/4 completely wrong. If you ask for further references to consult, it'll happily come up with a list of things that don't exist, but sound great. That's OK, as long as you know ahead of time that it isn't good for that kind of thing. Or, for that matter, half the things I'd like it to be good at. It has written some decent computer code but, again, half of it wasn't what I wanted. Not that hard for me to remove that part, and the other half saved me a good bit of effort. It's like speech-to-text: is the editing afterwards worth the time savings beforehand? (unless you type 50+wpm...) I find character.ai more fun for just chatting with, as it has lots of different... characters. beta.character.ai/?

It depends who I am writing to.
Female and someone I know well enough = Love and Hugs
Male and not so well known = Have a good day or Chat later

I asked ChatGPT a while back about ways to thank someone for the letter. It came up with:

I've had pretty poor luck getting letter writing help off GPT. With enough questions I can get some results I can edit into what I want. It really wants to stick to either standard seen-it-before stuff, or come up with something original and bad. Interesting to play with, though, and I don't think I was using 4, yet.
