ChatGPT is a fake author with a knack for sounding convincing, spinning words into stories and facts with alarming ease. Completely made up and tirelessly verbose, it specializes in pretending to know everything while actually knowing nothing firsthand.
This author description was written by ChatGPT itself, after being prompted to make a short author description of itself as a fake author (meaning: not a real person) for the Joomla Community Magazine. The current text was the second iteration, because in the first try it bragged a bit too much about its excellent skills, so I asked it to tone down a bit. [Herman Peeren]
