Yes, I have tried ChatGPT, and it told me dogs do not give birth to babies. However, ChatGPT doesn't provide deterministic answers and improves responses over time. Many of the internet examples no longer work. I asked, "If a woman gives birth to a baby in 9 months, how many months does a dog take to give birth to a baby." It answered, "Dogs do not give birth to babies." Currently, it answers, "On average, a dog's gestation period (the amount of time it takes for a dog to give birth to puppies) is approximately nine weeks or 63 days." It still doesn't understand pregnancy is a concurrent event (women can be pregnant at the same time) Q: If a woman takes nine months to give birth to a baby, how long does it take a billion women to give birth to one baby? A: It would take approximately 2.7 million years for a billion women to give birth to one baby. I do love ChatGPT to help me write certain documents. For example, for a performance review, you can give it bullet points and ask to write a review. After correcting it with Grammarly, it is usually better than what I would have written.

>I asked, "If a woman gives birth to a baby in 9 months, how many months does a dog take to give birth to a baby." It answered, "Dogs do not give birth to babies." to be fair, I'd probably say the same thing lol. "Baby" in this context was already primed to mean "human child." >Q: If a woman takes nine months to give birth to a baby, how long does it take a billion women to give birth to one baby? >A: It would take approximately 2.7 million years for a billion women to give birth to one baby. I asked the same and it answered "It would still take 9 months for a billion women to give birth to one baby, as the length of time it takes for a woman to give birth is not affected by the number of women giving birth simultaneously."

  Still not as bad as it's going to be. I'd wager that within a year someone's going to write a script that compares your GitHub contributions against your peers, feeds all of your Slack/email conversations into ChatGPT for professionalism, tone, and helpfulness analysis and feeds it back into ChatGPT to produce a completely automated "performance review".

    That's fine because within a year my and my peers are going to let ChatGPT write all our code and handle all our code review requests. It's going to be AI all the way down.

  I am after a rewrite in more elegant language than I can produce myself. I do not auto-accept the review; it is a good starting point for me to tweak. Any written performance review is followed up by a face-to-face meeting to clarify anything written down. ChatGPT is a tool, not magic, however, I find it helps with writers block.
