With all of the chatter about ChatGPT over the last couple of months I thought it might be fun to try an experiment with this revolutionary software. For those who have not been following the news, ChatGPT, and several competitors, use Artificial Intelligence (“AI”) to generate a composition based upon a query submitted to the software. In my case I was curious to learn what would happen if I first wrote an article and then asked ChatGPT to write a composition on the same topic.

I’ll let you decide for yourself, but my conclusion is that while the end may be in sight, there is still some scope for the human side in writing. It was also reassuring to determine that like most humans, the software also still makes mistakes. The implications, however, of widespread application of artificial intelligence to all areas of human endeavor, from education through to the workplace, are daunting.

The original article composed by Graham Segger is titled Golf: If You Can’t Master It, How About Reading About It Instead?

The computer generated article titled Golf Books by ChatGPT was generated using artificial intelligence software and a Query composed by Graham Segger.

If you wish to try using ChatGPT yourself simply create a free account at openai.com and compose a query. My experience is that the more information you include in the query, the more comprehensive the Chat response.
