SO I can use as a dictionary, words adjacent to ? ---- - user: Help me come up with a list of nouns using the word catcher as in the compound noun dog catcher. Each compound noun you generate must include the word catcher. ---- I want to know how to do this. That could use. I am always everyday searching down words. It started with reading Brewer's Phrase and Fable, the first dictionary type thing read cov to cov --- Oh I want in! Is it easy as say an online dictionary/thesaurus ?
The bot can complete the functions of a standard dictionary but not as well, especially when you want accurate linguistic information re: grammar, pronunciation, etymology, etc. The problem is the bot doesn’t have access to a dictionary in the way we do. The bot has no access directly to any particular texts, at least ChatGPT doesn’t. I think there are bots that will take whole texts of thousands of words, analyze them, to discuss. I’m not sure if they do a mini training on the text (say, a novel) or what. But with ChatGPT you can enter a phrase or sentence with a target word in context and use the bot to probe. For example, I had the bot explain the differences in meaning between systematic, explicit phonics instruction and explicit, systematic phonics instruction. It could do dictionary work on systematic and explicit and then examine shifts in their pooled meaning (morphosyntax) depending on word order. Dictionaries can’t do that. It’s hard even for humans to do I think. Play around with it. I was
thinking about trying one of your poems to see which sparks flying from your monsters it can flag:)
