I Asked ChatGPT A Question
I want to ask for your forgiveness for telling a small untruth. The truth is that I didn't ask ChatGPT anything because I don't use ChatGPT. However, I do use Claude, a lesser-known 'cousin' of ChatGPT. If the title of this article had been "I Asked Claude A...
Coach Supervisors – How Do You Handle This Question?
