Finally wrote up some of my thoughts on #chatGPT (prompted by last week's WP stuff, but not really specific to it)
I think I now have a better sense of when and why it starts bullshitting, but how on earth it seemed a good idea to release it with that behaviour is beyond me.
I think the most interesting bit of this was the discovery it insists Blair was in the Oxford Labour Club - because he *should* have been, that's how it works.
I tried asking it about some other PMs. It doesn't have the same fixation for Major - I had been wondering if it would create a university career - but it goes on some interesting excursions. In one a (real) knee injury stopped his (not real) professional career for Surrey CC, and in another he divorced Norma in 1970. News to us all.
Another PM with a less conventional background - Jim Callaghan gets a single year at Oxford in one version, and three of the six don't mention his navy service (and the ones that do put him in the wrong place). But basically a bit better.
