Have you tried it out?  Not a miracle but definitely impressive.

John -- I've been skeptical of these assessments of AI for many years
It always seems "Miraculous" to someone who is not in the particular field 

Finally, an A.I. Chatbot That Reliably Passes “the Nazi Test”
OpenAI’s new ChatGPT is scary-good, crazy-fun, and—so far—not particularly evil.

Financial Times journalist Dave Lee, for instance, had ChatGPT outline an interview about clean energy. He was impressed. “Prepping for an on-stage interview tomorrow, in a subject area I don’t typically cover,” Lee tweeted. “This kind of tool is just 👌”

A number of years ago I performed a test of two quite bright and aware individuals of whom I had great respect to assess such:Candidate A --   My brother' wife was a robotics engineer [MEng from Stanford, worked with DEC and J&J appeared as "cover girl" on the front cover of Manufacturing Automation Magazine]Candidate B --- My wife worked in the customer service and customer service support for several local banks
Miracle A -- sophisticated software to manage the motion of several robotic arms to prevent collisions between them and also between one of them and the platforms and tools and including strangely shaped objects they were carryingMiracle B -- a program able to conduct a mortgage interview with a prospective mortgage clientboth suitably documented by peer-reviewed and suitably edited "recent articles" [circa the experiment]
For the  challenge -- I presented Miracle A to Candidate B and Miracle B to Candidate A -- both were suitably amazedFor the "Baseline Case" -- I presented A with A and B with B -- neither was at all impressed
I doubt whether  Dave Lee knew much of anything about Energy -- Clean or otherwise
