AI Thread Summary
To read PostScript files on Windows XP, users can download "Ghostview," which requires "Ghostscript" to function properly. While some find Ghostview challenging to set up, it is a recommended solution. Alternatively, Adobe Distiller can be used to convert PostScript files into PDF format, providing another effective method for accessing the content. For additional software options, searching on download sites like www.download.com may yield further solutions.

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.
