ChatGPT for monthly report?

Let me also just say that this is not the place for extended anti-‘AI’ screeds and manifestos, but if it was, I would have already posted one which argued the case on multiple fronts, all the way from the practical (it is wildly inaccurate, and often very subtly so, to the point where you have to think very carefully about its output to notice the problems), to the philosophical (it is clearly less intelligent than most 6-year-olds, even if it sometimes regurgitates the right combination of words to pass university entrance exams) to the humanistic (I don’t want to cede any more of life to the machines than we already have; aren’t writing and thinking and creating good and noble things to do, not merely things we should rush past in an attempt to get somewhere else faster – and where or what, exactly, are those things which we are trying to get to faster, anyway?)

I don’t have an OpenAI account. I hope to never have an OpenAI account, or a Bing Chat one, or have any other interaction with such systems. I don’t even use Apple Siri or Hey Google, for that matter. So, no, even if such systems were capable of writing activity reports accurately and quickly, I still would not use them.
