This seems to suggest that ChatGPT currently sits somewhere above Argine and below GIB.
A recent seminar from Stanford gives some insight into the development of AI.
One thing it seems reasonably good at is writing and explaining code.
When I asked it about a line from "Mots D'Heures: Gousses, Rames: The D'Antin Manuscript" it failed completely.

What is "Un petit d'un petit S'étonne aux Halles"
ChatGPT:
"Un petit d'un petit S'étonne aux Halles" is a line from a French folk song called "Le petit vin blanc." The song is a playful and whimsical tune that tells the story of a young man who visits the market at Les Halles in Paris and is amazed by all of the sights, sounds, and flavors he encounters there. The phrase "Un petit d'un petit S'étonne aux Halles" roughly translates to "A little one of a little one is amazed at Les Halles." The line refers to the protagonist of the song, who is a young man from the countryside, visiting the bustling market for the first time and finding it all quite overwhelming.
ME: Is it also a homophone?
ChatGPT:
No, "Un petit d'un petit S'étonne aux Halles" is not a homophone. A homophone is a word that sounds the same as another word but has a different meaning and spelling, such as "bare" and "bear." "Un petit d'un petit S'étonne aux Halles" is a line from a song and does not have a different meaning when pronounced differently.
ME: even in English?
ChatGPT:
No, the phrase "Un petit d'un petit S'étonne aux Halles" does not have a homophonic equivalent in English. The phrase is specific to the French language and has a unique meaning and cultural significance. It would not be appropriate to try to directly translate it into English as a homophone, as the relationship between the sounds and meanings of words in different languages is not always equivalent.
Inappropriate? Bah.
