Last week, a client and I embarked on putting artificial intelligence (AI), notably OpenAI’s ChatGPT (Generative Pre-Trained Transformer), through its paces.

Let’s preface all this by saying I’m not a computer programmer by any stretch. I dabbled in Turbo Pascal and Visual Basic in high school, which was over twenty years ago. I’m sure we’ve moved on since then.

The task was simple: write a series of 500-word articles about a given topic. Some had to have five FAQs (answers to frequently asked questions), and others had to have three. Sometimes they had to be two long FAQs (100 words or more) or three short (50 words or fewer.) Or four of equal length. They also needed to have links inserted at 100-word intervals, the keywords in the URL substantially or closely matching words on the page.

Seems like a piece of cake for a million CUDA core behemoth, right?

Well, sort of.
