ChatGPT lies then gaslights reporter with fake transcript

Not that good, for certain purposes I needed to use a certain long text which was impractical, but I needed to avoid synthetic text. I used Chatgpt to select key sentences. It wasn't that good at it. The selection was kind of random. I ended up removing some of the selection and reinstating a lot manually. But in the end, just for curiosity to see if I could get an even shorter text, I gave the summarized text to chat gpt and asked it to summarize it further. It removed the set up of an important twist, but kept the punchline. It also changed a lot of text and made up a lot of anecdotes the author didn't have. The tone changed from semi-comedic to tragicomedy and a lot of wallowing and angst that just wasn't there in both the original and the reduced text.

The thing is very bad at following instructions.
lol I find it humorous that I try to find a use case, and everyone shoots it down. Can't say I didn't try to be positive. I generally have found it to be shoddy: in writing, it has a certain eh tone, and in artwork, it lacks perspective.

Interesting, I used it to clean up some setting info I had typed up and it pointed out a contradiction that I had typed without me asking it to and asked me which way it should proceed
The first time it impressed me, back near launch, was with a sending spell. We knew what we wanted to say but had to cut it to 25 words. I typed it all out, maybe 125, and asked to shorten. It was as good or better than what we would have come up with, and it would have taken us some time.

Weeeell, I refuse to sign up for it. Maybe the paid version or at least the one keeoing track of personal data could do better. What I found it useful for was for desassembling machine language in data statements of Basic programs in old books for old microcomputers.

I wouldn't sign up for anything either, that is smart. I think there are industry specific versions that are good tools, though also proprietary (and $$$). The ones here are like cheap toys.
