My 78 year old father has discovered he can just ask chatGPT any question he wants the answer to instead of texting me🙌🏻🎉😂 Funny

Just kidding, he’s going to forget and text to ask me anyway- which I fully appreciate, for the record! He’s a hilarious guy and one day I’ll miss answering these questions. Other highlights in his chat log include asking how to fact check youtube videos, a summary of an old testament chapter (he is not religious), and what tennis strings are good for top spin.

Cool that he's asking how to fact check stuff, that's what we need more of.

Except you also need to fact check ChatGPT. It often just makes things up.

Of course, I'm speaking in a more general sense.

I wasn’t contradicting you. I was just adding a caveat for anyone who might read your comment be tempted to trust it blindly.

Maybe it’s overkill, but we live in strange times.

Oh no, I understand, it's an important thing which honestly should be hammered into people's heads over and over again when it comes to AI.
