My “Demented” friend ChatGPT

I made a mistake last night using ChatGPT … I was trying to get my system RiverofJobs.com up and I kept having (apparent) trouble communicating with the chatbot. I would get one beautiful looking example and say “wahoo!” then have one error and have a raft of suggestions from the bot.
But instead of setting it all up in git to start with, I just had a huge number of files in that directory all with different names, and I didn’t keep the good ones out to refer to, just saying, “you remember, that good one about an hour ago?” No, of course it didn’t.
ChatGPT is NOT a person, although its designers apparently want to make you think it is. I am done with that mistake now.
I hope this is helpful.
