Last Friday, we ran a little experiment: How would ChatGPT do if we had it write a Tangle take? Isaac gave his opinion on the future of AI, asked ChatGPT to try to mimic him, then evaluated how well it delivered its take. That piece generated a lot of interest, questions, and criticism — and in case you missed it, you can read it here and join the discussion in the comments.
