A few days ago I tested an EUbot, a ChatGPT-powered chatbot on EU and public affairs. After some fanfare, I invited friends and peers from the EU bubble to test it.
Testing, they did!
Here are some of the questions that were entered (I cannot and will not identify the person who asked these questions, the bot only logs the input and the proposed reply).
I’ve now deactivated the bot as I want to move to a different platform and reconfigure it to be ‘smarter’. New version available soon on baneth.eu
Enjoy
