The page on the Matador is up. I used the new gallery with captions built-in and I think that is working out well. I’ll await more public feedback before I convert the older pages to the gallery system.
For the essay, I tried (after reading the Joanna Stern article in the Wall Street Journal on how she uses AI as her personal assistant) using ChatGTP 4.0 (the paid subscription version) to act as an editor for my essay. To my astonishment, it gave me quality feedback and seemed to “get” what I was aiming at in terms of style and structure. I didn’t make every change it suggested but I did make a few and rethought one paragraph based on its feedback. It was even able to send me an RTF file with the changes indicated by color (with a before/after section for comparison). I’m on a Mac and not using Microsoft products but apparently, if I did ChatGTP could have sent me a doc file with “track changes” enabled to make accepting/rejecting the suggestions much easier.
