That’s how I felt about using it in professional writing until I tried it. Trained a gpt on documents I’d written, now I describe a document I need and it gives me a first draft that is pretty much what mine would have been. Helps me skip the staring at a blank page step.

If you tell ChatGPT “write a story about x” you will get out garbage. If you tell it “here are my rambling research notes on this topic, please format them into a newspaper article following this style guide. The most important point is y, the second most import point is z” it could be useful

Does that imply Chinas growth is driven by capital investment and not internal advancements? I’m deeply unsure how to interpret that data

If we return to regular democratic order, I’ll return to faulting you for our policy differences. But right now we’re trying to keep the ship afloat.

In the last presidential election, we ran a reasonably likeable candidate on a broadly popular platform, and lost to someone that 55% of Americans hate.
There’s going to be a lot of desperate grasping at how to make sense of that, and we need to be patient with it.

If we are asking the question of whether he provides a framework for Dems to win nationally, it’s relevant. (But that’s not what he’s trying to do, he’s trying to win a local election)

You under state the probability that they haven’t thought things through, and are just deeply indifferent to the long term health of the republic.

I think a better writing team could have taken the bones of that story and made something good, but it was closer to a gut rehab than a touch up. (In contrast the sequels were well done, but didn’t really have a central story line. Failed in the opposite way)

If assaults were up 60% you’d still be more likely to get assaulted on the way to the subway than on the subway.

I’m not focused on personality, I’m focused on the fact that we elected the most nominally progressive government in Chicago history and housing has become less affordable, and the school and transit budgets are a shambles. And I fear these failures will get reactionaries elected.
