Echoes of the Ethnosphere: The Genesis of an Anthropological Novel
CPK: At the suggestion of my grandson, a medical student, and of my son, an anthropologist, I decided to subscribe to ChatGPT Plus (for a monthly fee), and I don't regret it.In revising one of my constantly evolving textbooks, the AI service (henceforth Artie Intel) let me do things like taking a paragraph I had written years earlier, using data, say, from the US Bureau of Labor Statistics and asking for that paragraph to be updated with the most recent available data.No problem.And how about making a table?Artie produced a really good one, comparing wages of union and nonunion workers over time.
