[SCCC] Asking ChatGPT for CQWW advice

[Clayton Nall]

Was hoping this would at least produce something in the ballpark!  The iron
law of ChatGPT holds—the more you know about a subject, the more its
hallucinations and slop immediately jump out at you.

Oh well, was hoping this would at least deliver net positive value even if
a couple of the details were off.

Still feels like we are a long ways away from Skynet….

Sorry for the post but at least folks had fun beating up the robot :)
