OpenAI just came out with their latest stepwise improvement, so I went ahead and cancelled my Gemini subscription and got a ChatGPT one (that’s not saying I’ll stay loyal, I’ll probably switch back at some point when Google pulls ahead).

To give you a sense of where we’re at right now, a few days ago and a kid with no mathematics training literally ChatGPTed the answer in one prompt to an unsolved mathematics problem that resisted efforts of professional mathematicians for decades . The New ChatGPT has much better visual and coding capabilities, especially when combined with Codex, their Desktop app that allows the AI to iterate over its own commands and respond to its own output.

So, with a few prompts I created.

1. A 50-page graphic novel of the Book of Moroni. It had a harder time with the speech bubbles than Gemini so the dialogue is near the bottom of the frame, but it can create much more content with much more consistency than before. See it here. (And yes, ChatGPT has decided that Moroni had a man-bun).
2. A game “like Oregon Trail,” but Mormon Trail. Play it here. I tried to get it to match the retro, 1990s video game look, but it’s a touch off.
3. ChatGPT now really excels at handling massive amounts of text, so I created an image of Nephi writing 3rd Nephi (and yes, I know Nephi didn’t write in English).

Once again, none of these are perfect (the dialogue for the Mormon/Moroni graphic novel is schmalzy), but still, not bad for a few minutes of work on my end.
