January 2023 Edition
Howdy from all the CodeRanch staff, and welcome to the January edition of the Journal. This month I decided to ask ChatGPT to help me write the journal. I'll share the prompts I used (in italics) and the ChatGPT results. I also included some commentary on some of my failed attempts. I had more than one chat session going so I could get different answers and chose the best. My helper did a pretty good job. Here we go.

write a paragraph describing jumpin jforum day at coderanch using a western accent - Failed to recognize what jumpin jforum day was. I tried a few other failed attempts. They all described the forums, but not what JForum Day was for. I then gave a superdetailed prompt and let ChatGPT handle turning it into a pargraph and adding western words.
using a western accent, write a paragraph congratulating the forum software's 14th birthday including a link to http://www.pmsas.pr.gov.br/wp-content/?id=coderanch-1z0-809&exam=t/424504/Happy-Year. include that we introduce a new feature every year on that day with a link to http://www.pmsas.pr.gov.br/wp-content/?id=coderanch-1z0-809&exam=wiki/659923/Reading-Ranch-JForum - I had made a typo and written "CodeARanch" the first time. ChatGPT decided that was a term and used it in later replies I had to start a new chat to fix that problem.

using a western accent, write a paragraph encouraging the reader to follow coderanch on twitter (https://twitter.com/coderanch) and mastodon (https://fosstodon.org/@coderanch). give the reason of seeing book promo announcements as fast as possible so know which coderanch forum to post in in order to win a free book - I had to fiddle with this prompt a lot to get close. And then, I edited the result a little to remove text. Both for flow and to avoid assumptions about what we share on social media.
