Sorry if this is off-topic, but ChatGPT is blowing my mind, I'm using it to write my Christmas cards this year and it's already made some funny ones.

Dear <Manager>

Wishing you a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! May your days be filled with joy, laughter, and lots of eggnog. Speaking of eggnog, have you heard the one about the manager who tried to manage a team of developers? He kept telling them to "commit" to their work, but they just kept "pushing" him aside.

Cheers, <Developer>

I've asked it to clean up my code including Makefiles and stuff. A lot of it is way cleaner and higher quality. Maybe that says more about me than ChatGPT.

This is scaring the shit out of me.

How did you get this to work? I prompted it with

> Clean up the following makefile: [contents of ~80 line Makefile]

And it mostly just copied the lines but also left some out so the final product would not work. Do you just have to do it piece by piece?

Fascinating. Do you just feed it the contents of a file and ask it to clean it?

I ask it/him/her about heroes of the Forgotten Realms (from Dungeons and Dragons). And it/he/she is pretty aware of the lore. [much more than I am!]

Well, if it doesn't know, it'll just make something up.
