Blimey Josh, that was a really clever move and a brave thing to do. I had no idea Chat GPT is nice by default. I have been making an ass out of u and me by assuming it was HONEST. Yikes.

I don't use ChatGPT much, but I shall be giving this a go if I ever write another story here. That Rumi quote has inspired me: I shall feel better about being roughly handled, knowing it is turning me into a polished gem.

I might play with the prompt a bit and ask it for BOTH: the bits it feels are good plus brutal honesty on where it falls short.
