    Has anyone tried using ChatGPT to generate text yet? I was curious so I gave it a try this morning. I asked it to "Write a grant application to request funds for free spay/neuter surgeries" and after it did that I asked "Can you fill out the grant application you just wrote?" This is what it came up with:

    Grant Application

    Project Title: Community-Wide Free Spay/Neuter Surgeries

    Organization: Animal Welfare Association

    Contact Person: John Doe, Executive Director, john.doe@animalwelfare.org, (555) 555-5555

    Introduction: Animal Welfare Association is a non-profit organization dedicated to promoting animal welfare and reducing pet overpopulation in our community. Our mission is to provide high-quality care for animals in need and to educate the public about responsible pet ownership. This grant application seeks funding for a community-wide initiative to provide free spay/neuter surgeries to pet owners in need.

    Project Description: Our organization is proposing a community-wide initiative to provide free spay/neuter surgeries for pet owners in need. This project aims to address the issue of pet overpopulation, reduce the number of animals entering shelters, and improve overall animal welfare. By offering these services at no cost, we hope to make spay/neuter surgeries accessible to all members of the community, regardless of their financial situation.

    Budget: Estimated Budget: $50,000

    Supplies and Equipment: $10,000 Staff Salaries: $30,000 Miscellaneous Expenses: $10,000

    The funds will be used to purchase necessary supplies and equipment, cover the salaries of staff performing the surgeries, and cover any miscellaneous expenses associated with the project.

    Impact: This project is expected to impact over 1,000 animals in the first year alone. By providing free spay/neuter surgeries, we hope to reduce the number of animals entering shelters and improve animal welfare in our community.

    Sustainability: To ensure the sustainability of this project, we plan to secure ongoing funding through grants, donations, and partnerships with local businesses and organizations. We will also continue to educate the public about the importance of spaying/neutering their pets and the positive impact this has on pet overpopulation.

    Conclusion: In conclusion, we believe that this project has the potential to make a significant impact on our community and improve animal welfare for years to come. We are requesting a grant of $50,000 to fully fund this initiative and bring it to life.

    Thank you for your consideration of our grant application. We look forward to the opportunity to implement this project with your support.

    Sincerely, John Doe, Executive Director

    This thread here goes over some thoughts folks have had on using chatGPT.  AI is going to be a really powerful tool for so many things.

    Yes, it seems like a great resource! The few times I have tried it out the result is nearly identical to the copy I would create on my own.
    However, it has become a very popular site, and will often say it is at capacity and to check back later. Regardless, definitely a great tool to have in the back pocket to save time and diversify language.

    I asked it to write a poem about cats. Here's what I got:

    Feline grace and subtle purrs,
    Mystery in their emerald eyes.
    Soft fur, a warm and cozy curl,
    Cats are the epitome of sighs.

    In the still of the night,
    They prowl and hunt with stealth.
    Their every movement, a work of art,
    A dance of grace and stealth.

    With a twitch of their tail,
    They show us their disdain,
    But a loving rub behind the ears,
    Brings out their purring refrain.

    Independently they walk,
    But with us they choose to stay,
    Cats, the elegant and mysterious,
    Will forever hold a special place

    Wow! That is incredible. We will definitely need to keep checking on this. We don't have a marketing/social media or grant specific person, so having something help come up with the language for this sounds helpful. (AI, please don't take over the world )
