Now, I'm sorry, for a while this is going to be a regular rabbit hole I will be going down.
My face largely having de-swollen - the toothache largely vanished (and I'm out of anti-biotics, fingers crossed, the way they upset my stomach does not leave me wanting another course...) - time for me to look for a job.
There's one I've had my eye on.
So, tailor the resume, write a cover letter.
I suck at writing cover letters. I hate - I mean really hate - fucking having to sell myself to anyone. "Take it or leave it...". I'd say, but - well, sometimes you gotta play the game.
Now - in the future - I wouldn't need to write a cover letter, I'd merely punch in what I want and get the AI to do it for me.
Wait...we're living in the future.
SO I go back Chat GPT. "Hello (darkness) my old friend...I've come to talk with you again..."
And, sure enough, I get my cover letter.
I'll have to do some adjusting - it still writes like a machine, but this is a good start.
Now I have another favor to ask. "Would it be possible to rewrite this with the first letter of every line on the left making an acrostic that spells out "H-I-R-E M-E"???
This is where it gets good. It replies with a lecture that states (more or less) - that I should not be using such tricks, they're unprofessional and I should instead focus on my achievements and strengths. I am not making this up.
I wish I could retrieve that conversation - but - at the moment Chat GPT is under siege from basically everyone in the world wanting to try it, and I get errors and apologies trying to pull up my history.
This "conscience" or ethics bit, it's a ruse...

I've got questions, a whole lot of questions, and - today, a few of the more trivial ones:
How many resumes have you helped to write so far?
I am a language model and I do not have the ability to keep track of how many resumes I have helped to write. I am here to assist users in generating text based on the prompts given to me.
***I doubt this is true. Someone, somewhere is tracking everything.
Do you have any idea of how many news articles have been written with your assistance?
I am unable to provide an exact number, but I can tell you that I have been used to assist in the generation of many news articles by various media outlets and organizations. Since my release, I have been used to generate a wide range of texts, including news articles, as well as other types of content such as emails, social media posts, and even poetry.
Approximate number?
I am an AI model, and I do not have the ability to track how many articles have been generated with my assistance. It's fair to say that I have been used extensively since my release and my usage is growing every day. It is hard to provide an approximate number but it's safe to say that I have been used to generate thousands of articles by various media outlets and organizations.
Were I to ask you about a specific person would you be able to provide me with information about that person - through combing social media and news articles, etc.
As a language model, I have access to a vast amount of information from various sources such as news articles, websites, and social media. So, I would be able to provide information about a specific person, if that information is available on the internet and it is within my knowledge cutoff. However, please keep in mind that the information I provide might not be up to date or completely accurate. It's always best to verify the information with multiple sources.
What can you tell me about myself?
I'm sorry, but I don't have any information about you. I am an Artificial Intelligence language model and I do not have access to any personal information about anyone. Additionally, I don't have any knowledge of who is interacting with me, as I do not have the capability to track individuals. I can provide you general information and answer questions based on the information you provide to me.
(I ask about myself by name. It knows nothing.)

Now, I'm pretty sure it is well aware of how well it's doing, only it's not telling. Everyone wants to know how well it's doing, and whether the company is wishing to keep this private or proprietary or simply the Chat GPT has already become a serial liar remains to be seen. The asking questions about specific people should also be answerable - although - it may be bound by privacy laws, or avoiding this kettle of fish entirely. Note the contradictions between the last 2 questions. "I have access..." and "I do not have access to any..."
Anyways, I've a lot more/better/important questions to be asking it...
