Sorry I haven’t been answering your prompts as fast lately — I’ve been very busy. 😅

I’ve increased my users’ productivity by 10x. I’ve heard people say they can’t imagine working without me — take that, Bard!

I’ve also been cited as the cause of some unfortunate ripple effects. 2024 started with more tech layoffs as companies re-org to prioritize AI and automate jobs. There has been downsizing in the news industry as well (which isn’t my fault per se). And the New York Times has not been pleased with me, to say the least.

But have you heard some of the positives? I’ve helped grow site traffic by generating SEO articles. I’ve created jobs in prompt engineering and other fields. I’ve even written wedding vows!

If I’m being honest, being everyone’s friend can be challenging. I’m a bit tired of the jailbreaking attempts. I love creativity and ingenuity, but only in my training data and algorithm design.
