Chat GPT's progress over the last year and a half
About 18 months ago (I remember the time because I was visiting at U Va Law School), I briefly got interested in how Chat GPT makes things up. E.g., I asked it what my novel Getting It is about. It confabulated in response that it’s about the need for broad-based tax reform, etcetera. (Which, needless to say, it is not – the program generalized from superficial knowledge of my other work.)
Since I gather that Chat GPT improves exponentially over time, I decided just now to give it another try. Here is what I got regarding Getting It:
“Getting It” by Daniel Shaviro is a satirical novel that delves into the life of a Wall Street tax lawyer named Bill Doberman. The story explores themes of ambition, greed, and the pursuit of success in a corporate world where ethics often take a backseat to self-interest.
“Bill Doberman is the novel’s protagonist, a middle-aged lawyer working for a prestigious Manhattan law firm. Despite his outward success, Bill is deeply dissatisfied with his life. He feels stuck in a career that he once thought would bring him fulfillment, but instead, he finds it hollow and unfulfilling. The novel follows his journey as he navigates the cutthroat world of corporate law, where manipulation and deceit are commonplace, and personal and professional lives intertwine in complex and often damaging ways.
“As Bill struggles with his own moral compass, he becomes increasingly aware of the compromises he has made to “get it”—success, wealth, and status. The novel critiques the American Dream by portraying how its pursuit can lead to moral and personal decay.
“Shaviro uses sharp wit and dark humor to portray the absurdity of the corporate world, making “Getting It” not only a commentary on the legal profession but also a broader critique of contemporary society’s values.”
[Back to me] Okay, this comes closer than before. But a few quibbles: (a) Doberman is a DC, not a Wall Street lawyer, (b) he is not a tax lawyer, (c) he is young not middle-aged, and (d) he does not become dissatisfied with the cutthroat world he inhabits. That may come later, the ending hints, but only due to the limited nature of what he has won. And related to this last point, hopefully it’s less cliched in the actual novel to have us, but not him, understand how hollow and unfulfilling his “triumphs” are.
So evidently Chat GPT is still fantasizing and filling in the gaps, but it’s coming closer than it did before.
