The loneliness of a job well done: a call for a solo facilitator space | Julie Trell posted on the topic | LinkedIn
No one talks about what happens after a good workshop.

I've been saying this since the birth of ChatGPT! It's a "simple" way to explain how chatgpt/LLMs work.
you say "i asked chatgpt"
i hear "i asked [an improv comedy group]"

2) it produces things roughly shaped like your prompt
3) it is trained to respond with Yes, And
4) it has the factual accuracy of improv
5) it does not understand comedy

I turned and smiled and said “I don’t blame you. I’m American. “
We then all apologised.
