Amusingly, I kind of wrote this essay with the help of ChatGPT. Writing a Real Essay felt like too much work, but then I thought, maybe if I describe to ChatGPT what kind of an essay I have in mind, it could improve it and we could iterate on it together.
It turned out that “describing the kind of an essay I’d like to write to ChatGPT” did 96% of the work. Since when I looked at that description of “this is what I’d like to say”, I concluded that I could just copy-paste most of it into the final piece directly, and didn’t really need ChatGPT to do anything anymore.

So that was pretty rubber duck-y.
