    i was attempting to recall a project name i worked on many years ago as a temp for a large firm . it was an on-site in-service software run on service personnel's ruggedized laptop to aid w/ on-site repair . its acronym was SPDE . i assumed/recalled the 1st three characters stood for Service Personnel Data but could not recall what the E stood for . so i described all this to ChatGBT and requested its logical guess re/ the E and Voila Bingo Presto it suggested "Entry" and "Exchange" of course Exchange! Thank You ChatGBT . btw i happened to meet one of the service personnel some years subsequent and inquired re/ SPDE he stated it was not utilized as it was a total failure apparently despite my best efforts .

    Try to format your message. Nobody is interesting to read 'one unstructured block of text' E.g, Line brakes helps to structure a text ;P

      are the periods at the end of each sentence not sufficiently helpful ?

          the only re-format which i can recognize as perhaps not quite up to standard is not placing the sentence beginning w/ "btw ..." in a separate paragraph as it is a separate matter . btw it should be "breaks" . oops 😰 . should have placed that on a separate paragraph . further this is merely the Lounge . also my post is not a thesis merely a quick story . you're welcome for this being on a separate paragraph per keeping w/ the highest grammatical standards for which the Lounge is known for .

                I have too many of these to count. Also the project that I got a huge bonus on for saving like 30k a month. 4 years after I left said company, program is no longer being used. But one little stupid search utility for a college that I wrote 20 years ago. Still going strong.

                  I have a biological computer, my brain, which has delayed recall. When I try to pull up a piece of information, like a name or a word, it won't come to the surface. The harder I push, the longer it takes. And then, while I am thinking about something else, it pops up. My neurologist tells me this is a natural result of growing older. Are you over 40? Oh, why did I just ask you that? :confused:

                    Don’t worry, Eddie. You will remember why you asked in a day or two.

                      I thought that CHATGBT was just a more inclusive variation of LGBT.

                          Aw, the classic, "I was only kidding" defense. Is your attention span so short that you couldn't concentrate for one whole paragraph?
