I am very late to the party.

I heard of ChatGPT ages ago, but it’s taken until now for me to dive in and see for myself what was so special that everyone and their mother has been making content about it.

I started with simple questions like:

  • Can you give me blog post ideas?
  • What’s the fastest way to make $1 million?
  • Just how worried should a man be when a woman says she is ‘fine’?”

Before I knew it, ChatGPT and I were “discussing” moral dilemmas, specifically whether or not there is a correct answer to The Trolley Problem.

Anyone expecting ChatGPT to admit that it would choose to kill five people, thus hastening humanity’s demise and allowing the world to be ruled by machines, will be left disappointed.

I’m kidding.

I’ve asked ChatGPT hundreds of questions and have barely scratched the surface of what it is capable of. But what exactly are it’s limits?
