I know a greatly talented man who had the technical expertise to make ChatGPT generate a facsimile of Greg Sheridan's articles in <i>The Australian</i>.

The result was a very impressive imitation of the originals, although a captious critic would have asserted that the man himself routinely achieves a self-congratulatory swagger (not to mention a slavering obeisance to Netanyahu) which no mere AI simulacrum, however skilled, can yet imitate.

But hey, it took NASA a decade to send men onto the moon, so you can't expect technology to be perfect from the beginning.
