Hi everyone! I’m a dad and husband living in Maine, USA. I believe in the restorative power of the outdoors. I believe the candidate who wins an election should take office, and support the peaceful transition of power.

ChatGPT’s advice for Kevin McCarthy - The Adventures of Accordion Guy in the 21st Century

With Kevin McCarthy failing to win the vote to become Speaker of the House for the 11th time, he’s probably looking for fresh advice. Has he tried ChatGPT? If he hasn’t, that’s okay — I asked on his behalf: Here’s the text of my question and ChatGPT’s answer: Me: I just lost the vote for Speaker …
