Computer Basics for Beginners: Get Started Now

AI Thread Summary
For beginners learning about computers, it's essential to start with the fundamentals of computer systems architecture.

Thread 'ChatGPT Examples, Good and Bad'
I've been experimenting with ChatGPT. Some results are good, some very very bad. I think examples can help expose the properties of this AI. Maybe you can post some of your favorite examples and tell us what they reveal about the properties of this AI.
