Joining ChatGPT, Gemini, Meta, and many other powerful chatbot services, we are proud to announce the release of our new RI (real intelligence) service, ChatPerson.
Unlike other chatbots, ChatPerson’s answers to your queries are provided by real humans. Specifically, it is staffed by writers, artists, and researchers whose livelihoods are in peril thanks to chatbots. Ask ChatPerson anything you would ask your favorite chatbot, and it will answer within seconds. Below are a few FAQs about this exciting new service.
Can people really answer as quickly as a chatbot?
Almost! Limited only by their typing speed and their consciences.
And ChatPerson’s answers will be accurate?
They will be confident.
That’s not the same thing.
It is the exact same thing offered by the chatbots you use now.
Come on, ChatGPT is pretty accurate. I use it all the time.
And how do you know it’s accurate?
I double-check.
By?
By… asking ChatGPT.
Yeah.

6. At some point, you might wonder why years of schooling have not adequately prepared you for this experience.
7. Once it’s over, you may feel unhappy with your performance. Don’t get too upset. You can always try again, but I recommend waiting until you’re better prepared.
8. Remember, people usually do better on their second try.
9. Keep in mind that there isn’t a level playing field. Data shows that it’s easier for males to achieve a positive outcome.
Every year, we wonder what might be appropriate on this day, and we can never think of anything more appropriate than this piece, which John Hodgman originally delivered at a literary reading shortly after September 11, 2001.
Good evening.
My name is John Hodgman. I am a former professional literary agent, which on a good day is a pretty small thing to be, and these days feels rather microscopic. Before I was a professional literary agent, I thought it would be a good idea to be a teacher of fiction in a college MFA program because it is easy and you are adored all the time, and of course, it pays a lot of money.
I used to have a lot of bright ideas.
