Quite a few people have been playing around with a new-fangled AI tool called ChatGPT the developers of which say this:
We’ve trained a model called ChatGPT which interacts in a conversational way. The dialogue format makes it possible for ChatGPT to answer followup questions, admit its mistakes, challenge incorrect premises, and reject inappropriate requests. ChatGPT is a sibling model to InstructGPT, which is trained to follow an instruction in a prompt and provide a detailed response.
Here is an example (stolen from here) wherein this “model” creates the abstract of a scientific paper on a suggested topic:
This makes me wonder how many abstracts on astro-ph are actually written this way!
Please note that no papers of mine involved the use of any form of Artificial Insemination. I hope this clarifies the situation.

Actually, I rather like it! It’s much better than I’d expected. I’ve been told it looks like Christmas wrapping paper which gives it a seasonal twist too!
There are several apps that will create images inspired by text you type in. The one I used for the example above was this one. Why not try it yourself?
