"Access to a PhD-level expert in your pocket"

I'd like to have a word with ChatGPT's PhD advisor please

I'd like them to tell me about their discovery of the cyτlasma and the centrosome/lysosmoe duality

This explains why Tlaxcala finally conquered central Mexico after their attempts at telling people that they DO exist! (This image is from an actual government campaign 😂)

"Access to a PhD-level expert in your pocket"

Prompt: Can you make me a map of Mexico with the names of all states? can you list them after the image as well?

I was born in the great state of Cusidad le Mexico. We're proud of our French origins. Also I see Yucatan finally took over its neighbours
