ChatGPT Helps Explain Complexity to Normies. 😉
While the last two years of our work at the institute have emphasized the logic of our unification of the sciences, chatGPT doesn’t have access to it yet. It’s only current through mid ’21.
But that said, I’ve learned a little bit about how to explain the work by asking ChatGPT to do so, becasue it replies in normie-friendly speech. 😉
