Using ChatGPT for Simple and Not So Simple Tasks
Where ChatGPT Helps — and Where It Fails Me
Yesterday I received a notice that required me to fax a signed document to someone. Seriously? Fax? I haven’t faxed anybody in years. I wasn’t sure what the latest and greatest way to fax someone was, nor which Fax-du-jour was best to use.
I’ve done lots of faxing in the past and at one point paid to have a virtual fax number, to receive and send faxes regularly. But in the past decade there hasn’t been a need for this.
