 ChatGPT can apparently generate many types of files that can be expressed as text. Since SVG is basically XML, I tried whether ChatGPT can draw. I asked for a diagram with a few boxes with the acronyms "ERP", "CCMS" and "PIM", linked up with lines between them. Here's the result, after some iterations to improve the layout (center text, adjust box and text sizes, distances etc.). Again, this is something that can be done better with the API by providing static styling rules.

+I admit, this looks somehow impressing, but not like a killer app. Drawing this image with !InkScape would probably have taken less time than explaining it.
+
+A more realistic use case in real life could be to upload an SVG from a supplier through the API, apply a set of style guide rules (for example, unify line widths, exchange logos and apply CI colors), then extract all the strings. These would then be translated the traditional way, using a Translation Memory, and finally re-injected into the SVG. Another approach for translation could be to let the AI translate, while applying a defined terminology, and, as a quality check, translate back to the source language. There shouldn't be any differences, as there wouldn't be in a TM based approach. Letting the AI do this, until the back-translation is identical, and learning by trial and error would be the approach closest to how AIs work.

-The outdated version I was using behaved a bit differently, but the task description was close enough I got it to work.
+The outdated version I was using behaved a bit differently, but the task description was close enough I got it to work. Getting help on nearly anything with extremely low requirements of a-priori knowledge can be very relieving and saves a lot of time.
+
+
+
+== Music
+Having gathered some insight into what NLP AIs can do for technical writers, software users and software developers, I drew the circle a bit wider. In my spare time, I write and produce songs with a Digital Audio Workstation. For a song I was just working on, I needed some help with the lyrics. The chat was rather long, so I will summarize the key steps.
+
+First I needed a word that rhymed with //shines//. ChatGPT suggested:
+* Lines
+* Spines
+* Divines
+* Combines
+* Designs
+* Declines
+* Refines
+* Undermines
+* Outshines
+* Realigns
+
+I found a good line that ends with //lines//.
+
+Next, I wanted some help for the first two lines of the second verse of the lyrics. The music for the verse is already more or less defined, so I had a certain rhythm in mind. The first two lines of the first verse were:
+> I anticipated a future that’s bright and tender
+> And we negotiated, but it feels like a false surrender
+
+So I asked for suggestions. The result was:
+> The world is spinning faster, I'm losing my grip
+> I'm reaching for the future, but I'm slipping
+> The walls are closing in, I'm suffocating
+> I'm praying for a miracle, but it's not forthcoming
+
+Well - I told it, that this doesn't quite capture the spirit of the song. These lines sound desperate, but the song is not meant to be so at all. Perhaps a little serene, at best...
+
+And what's even worse, the lines didn't match the rhythm at all. So I explained:
+
+{{{#!div style="background: #DDFFEE; margin: 5px; margin-left: 40%; margin-right: 30px; padding: 5px; border-radius: 10px;"
+Also, the verse doesn't quite fit the intended rhythm of the verse... 
+The first two lines of my verse can be considered to be split behind "anticipated" and "negotiated", like:
+I anticipated
+a future that’s bright and tender
+And we negotiated, 
+but it feels like a false surrender
+
+Each of these lines is two bars long (4/4, BTW)
+The 1st line "I-an-ti-ci-pa-ted" is sung on the 3-4-1-2-3-4 of the first two bars. 3rd line equivalent.
+
+Can you please try again?
+}}}
+
+{{{#!div style="background: #EEEEEE; margin: 5px; margin-right: 40%; margin-left: 30px; padding: 5px; border-radius: 10px;"
+Sure, based on the additional information you provided, here are some revised lyrics that might work better:
+
+== Verse
+I'm walking through the shadows, in search of something true
+The light is always shining, just out of my view
+I'm wandering in circles, searching for a sign
+The road is long and winding, but I know I'll be just fine
+
+Each line of this verse is two bars long, with a similar rhythm to the first two lines of your existing verse. The first line is sung on the 1-2-3-4 of the first two bars, the second line is sung on the 3-4-1-2-3-4 of the first two bars, and so on.
+
+I hope this helps! Let me know if you need any further assistance.
