So we have a guy who says he could use ChatGPT to make a ground breaking treatment to his dog, but spent 3 months typing a 100 pages document with is bare hands instead of, I don't know, using GPT write the said document for instance?

And people are believing his bullshit?

    ChatGPT did not make the treatment. ChatGPT summarized literature explaining how to make similar treatments, and then specialized tools were used to make the treatment. It is perfectly reasonable that ChatGPT can summarize literature and not make compliant 100 page legal documents.

    The principle behind personalized mRNA vaccines is simple enough, and it's perfectly plausible that someone with money and lab access can create an effective treatment not offered through conventional means. It would be plausible even for a human patient right now, with mRNA vaccines still hung up in clinical trials. For a dog? Of course.

      No it's not. Yes ChatGPT can help summarizing literature, but it can also definitely also do the heavy lifting when it comes to write red tape.

      I know some people here, after spending too much time reading Ayn Rand, believe that governments are the greatest evil but come on. Red tape is not some ARC-AGI level of challenge.
