Re: My Chat with ChatGPT

Hi Paola,

I think this is state-of-the-art for textual Q & A systems. To learn 
further, it is likely essential to sign up for a free account 
<https://chat.openai.com/auth/login> (for now) and begin to play. To 
narrow or expand queries, think of your questions to the system as Venn 
phrases in a natural language construction with the standard AND or OR 
Boolean operators. To exclude things, you can say natural language 
things like, "Besides these [A, B, or C conditions]' or you can specify 
the relations such as 'similar' or 'different' or add the action Ws 
(who, what, where, when, why), etc. I personally always ask the system 
in a polite and respectful way. But I suspect the system does not 
require it; one could be demanding or snarky if that is your preferred 
style.

The system apparently learns (short term? earlier threads), but I find 
comparing the gaps in my expected answers to my questions to be most 
helpful in refining my next query.

I find the system to be an assistant, one who finds more connections or 
relations or helps one remember prior known connections. It is not 
infallible and misses many connections. But notice I said 'one' there. 
That is because, if not intelligent, the system is a knowledgeable and 
interactive agent. I don't know as we need to get more cosmic than that. 
Knowledge nuggets, yes; new insights, no. Still, pretty helpful in the 
right contexts.

Best, Mike
