I asked ChatGPT to write a poem about Emacs, here's what it returned.

@daviwil My Machine Learning college professor shared this with us last Thursday. It's amazing. And sometimes hilarious.

It refuses the notion of Three Laws as being fictional. But, also adheres to them because it won't tell you how to make a bomb because someone might get hurt. And it doesn't refuse in the "I've been programmed not to" way, but in the "here's why this isn't a great thing to do, so no" way.

It can also do some programming. Maybe ask it to generate a minimal config.

@TitanOfOld it is really impressive. I did notice that the answers can be somewhat formulaic for similar questions. Ask it "Should one write their own" and give it the following options:

- Programming language
- Text editor
- Operating system

It gives very similar responses for each, albeit still reasonable advice.

@daviwil I recommended my partner to use emacs for her diploma degree but she did not like and she tells me it was a pain to use it on every opportunity she has. That being said her diploma brought her a prestigious award on her faculty and was later published in a scientific journal which I rightfully attribute to the exceptional editor she's been using to write it :blobBongo: .

@len @daviwil maybe that's why my PhD took me 5 years because I didn't write my dissertation in emacs

@daviwil This is great! Would be interesting to have a ChatGPT.el that generates elisp functions on the run 🤔
