My daughter, who's had a degree in computer science for 25 years, posted this about ChatGPT on Facebook. It's the best description I've seen.

When words hit. When hands hurt. When soft eyes turn hard. When we forget the feeling of a warm embrace or the taste of a kiss. When love dies, there is the risk of it becoming #extinct. #vss365

"What do you #want from the deli?" "Oh, yum! I want a hoagie on dark with mayo and mustard." "That would be so good, wouldn't it?" "It would! It has been so many years. I still remember how they smell and taste." They limp on past the rubble. #vss365

Every six years it came time to make a #change. After that long people began noticing we weren't ageing the same as them. And by then the number of disappearances in the same area became too much. But on our last night we always invited friends over for dinner. #vss365

I cope by talking to myself. I do it all the time. Late one night I ran into my #doppleganger in an alley behind a bar. I lured him home and keep him trapped in a cell hidden below the barn. He's angry but we talk because he's lonely. We have a lot in common. It helps. #vss365

"Do you really believe this, what do you call it, this #difference engine will allow you to travel anywhere in an instant?" "Most definitely." "How does it work?" "You enter where you are and where you want to be and tell it to subtract the difference. Simple." #vss365

The ironically named Probability #Bow forced improbabilities on those shot with it. Victims would find themselves knocked into next week, back in the crib as a baby again, turned into a potted plant, or something equally unlikely. At least it wasn't deadly. #SciFanSat
