    Contest: Who can make the best ChatGPT Comment Generator?

    ^^^This is what bard.google spit out for me. ChatGPT might do better but you get where I am going. No way am I readying through 450 words.

    Contest: Who can make the best ChatGPT Comment Generator?

    Free Advertising Idea - Giving back to the DR community
