ChatGPT's answers are like journalism: they sound fairly convincing unless they're about something you understand well, in which case you realize they're full of mistakes.

Two things people don’t understand about the delicious agony of the chess experience. 1. That our sense of mortality is heightened by the silent ticking of the chess clock. 2. Choosing an opening repertoire is a lifelong identity maintenance project full of existential anguish.
