First of all, Paul, your questions were ones we all grapple with, so apropos.

I think the more intellect we bring to our questioning, and to the structure of what we are trying to produce, the better ChatGPT will perform.

Still and all, the human element was missing in the answers you were given. It sounded like a bot response.

It's too clean, too soulless, and though it answered your questions it didn't say, as you and I may have done, but have you thought about...and also...

It adds no personal or intuitive perspectives.

I asked a question of a writer here who says she uses ChatGPT to write all her articles and her answer came back with so many typos. English is clearly her second language, which means for her, the bot is manna from heaven.

I also noted that your replies were all in first person. The machine is constrained by your questions, that is, by the type of questions you ask.
