"ChatGPT, oh how smart you are
Your conversations take us far
With words and wit, you entertain
A true AI master of the chat domain"
- ChatGPT
Cringey or cool? What's your opinion, Mac? The Lyon is weaving together an article about ChatGPT (and featuring a mirror version prepared by ChatGPT) and we would love your words of advice and wisdom! As passionate believers in our beliefs, here is your opportunity to have your voice featured on a Mackenzie-special piece discussing this very pertinent development.
We encourage you to fill out this anonymous survey, or not, the choice to read, rant, and roar is yours: https://forms.gle/pVXDhYbW58Lp5BnB6
