ChatGPT (Mar 2023)

Technology Tips – Published March 2023 in the Guide and Digest

By Don Trauger – Kennett

This article is not in the same category as the usual tech tip I write. Rather, it’s an introduction to a new concept of artificial intelligence (AI). AI has been around for awhile but ChatGPT takes it to a new level. Basically, you feed it a question and it comes up with the answer. The link to ChatGPT is https://chat.openai.com/chat. You’ll have to set up an account to use it but it’s free for now. It’s experimental at this point. Even copying the information it produces into Word was a problem. I ended up using WordPad then copied the clean text into Word. It won’t put Google out of business but ChatGPT allows one question and one answer at a time where Google’s results offer hundreds if not more answers to a question.

Also, the answer to the first question is much later in time whereas our website, hersheysmill.org, starts in 1789.

Note: The following ChatGPT answers were not written by me except for the questions.

What is the history of the Hershey’s Mill Community, West Chester, Pa. 19380?

Hershey’s Mill is a community located in West Chester, Pennsylvania. The community is made up of a variety of homes, including townhouses, condominiums, and single-family homes, as well as amenities such as a golf course, swimming pools, and tennis courts. The development of Hershey’s Mill began in the 1970s, and it has been a popular place to live for retirees and older adults. It is known for its active adult lifestyle, with many clubs and organizations catering to the interests of residents. The community is surrounded by natural beauty, with plenty of opportunities for outdoor activities such as hiking and biking. The area also has a rich history, with many historical sites and landmarks nearby.

What is the underlying danger of Yellowstone National Park?

The underlying danger of Yellowstone National Park is the potential for a volcanic eruption. The park sits on top of a supervolcano, which has the potential to produce a massive eruption that could have a significant impact on the surrounding areas and the global climate. However, it is important to note that while the potential for an eruption exists, it is not imminent and the chances of it occurring in the near future are low.

When is Covid expected to be of no concern?

The timeline for when the COVID-19 pandemic will no longer be a concern is uncertain. Factors such as the effectiveness of vaccines, the emergence of new variants of the virus, and compliance with public health measures will all play a role in determining when the pandemic will end. It’s important to continue to follow the guidance of public health officials and to get vaccinated when a vaccine becomes available to you.
