It's still just a data management tool, and only as good as what you feed it. I uploaded a geographic shape file from the US Census site and was able to prompt it to this result. I still have a little text overlap between NJ and DE, but I got it there by refining the dataset and the prompt.

People need to remember this is a data management tool, and it is VERY good at inferring things, but it requires lots of context in its prompts and in this case raw data to do an advanced task.
Voila.

Meet my rye sourdough starter. I rescued it from my otherwise very not-homicidal wife.
His name is Commander Will Rye-ker and he can’t wait to get to the pleasure ovens on the planet Rise-a. #treksky #bakingsky #startrek #sourdough

Maybe it’s a case of misanthropy contracted after drinking the oily rain run off that seeps from the roof of the tunnel under SEPTA’s Spring Garden Station, but The Guardian can fuck right off. The uncontested winners of Colonialism don’t get to decide which former colony is rude.

Love seeing this! I worked with the Ur Collection at UPenn. I transcribed a LOT of field notes. The attached card is typical. See how far you can get reading it (my work in alt-text). I had my former boss on my podcast to talk Ea Nasr (I am an unapologetic apologist)
