Shared a beer or two with machinist friend yesterday. It blew us away that given a description of a block of steel and how we wanted to process it, it would write generic G-Code (commands for a computerised machine tool) that were feasible, but also would give explanations for the purpose of each command. You could then ask it to adjust the design. We asked it write a poem about G-code and sharing a beer and provided a pretty nice "techbro" moment describing the love of seeing beauty in design and making things. At home I later got it to write decent sample router and firewall configuration (for my dayjob). Chatted with it about career prospects in the future, and had it write a pretty funny joke :- Me: Can you write a joke about how token bus doesn't have wheels? ChatGPT: Sure, here's one: Why did the Token Bus cross the network? Because it didn't have any wheels to take it for a spin!
