A new poll delivers one clear message – and a clutch of other cluesThe Spinoff Daily, Tuesday December 6
Ahiahi mārie, welcome to The Spinoff Daily in partnership with the Brain Drink, Ārepa. Today on The Spinoff, Emily Writes asks why is Pharmac playing petty media games with life-saving news, Dylan Cleaver asks if we really have to have another tedious “art v sport” debate and Dylan Reeve asks ChatGPT to explain itself. But first, Toby Manhire digests the latest political poll numbers.
“The Labour Party will have felt some relief that last night’s 1 News / Kantar poll was not the catastrophe of the last televised poll, which punctured the lung of its conference weekend. But there’s no escaping the trend. National has opened up a five-point advantage over the party which won an unprecedented outright MMP majority at the last election. With less than a year to go to the next, Christopher Luxon is emphatically sitting in pole position. On these numbers National and Act could form a government without breaking a sweat. There are other storylines beyond that headline, however.”

We asked ChatGPT to write an article about ChatGPT “Dylan: Let’s write an introductory paragraph to an article about using ChatGPT to write about ChatGPT. It should touch on how ChatGPT is now becoming an online meme, explain very briefly what OpenAI is and pose the question “but is it possible to harness ChatGPT to write about itself?” ChatGPT: In recent days, the language model ChatGPT has become an online sensation, with users sharing humorous and bizarre conversations they’ve had with the AI on social media. Developed by OpenAI, a research institute focused on advancing artificial intelligence, ChatGPT has quickly become a popular tool for generating entertaining and thought-provoking conversation. But is it possible to harness ChatGPT’s abilities to write about itself? Strap in, let’s try it and see if an AI can truly reflect on its own existence and capabilities.”
