Update: I have all the questions I need. Thanks to everyone who sent one in! ~Nico

Happy Holidays everyone!

Lately, I have been playing around with OpenAI's chatbot 'ChatGPT'. This is a chatbot sitting on top of the world's largest natural language learning model. I've started asking it astrophotography-related questions, and have found the answers it gives to be very hit or miss. For basic questions, it will often give very good answers. For more complex questions, it can give very misguided answers.

I have an idea for a video I could make pretty quickly where I give the same astrophotography question to both me and to ChatGPT. It would be a blind test meaning I don't get to see ChatGPT's answer first. Then I would let the viewers decide who gave the better answer.

To make it more engaging and clear that I didn't cheat and prepare the questions myself, I'd love to get questions from you all in video or audio format! Smartphone quality video/audio is fine! If interested, you can send me your video or audio clip directly to my email (nicocarver@gmail.com). If the video is too big to send as an email attachment, you can use wetransfer.com or a google drive link. Any kind of question is fine as long as it's clearly about astrophotography. Examples (don't use these): what is the best software for deep sky astrophotography? Do I need to polar align my mount every night?

Last notes:

-If you upload a question, you agree to let me use it in a video, as well as your first name (Or let me know what to call you in the video)

-I may not use all questions

-I would like to make video as soon as possible so please send in your questions in the next couple days

-If you'd like to participate, but don't know how to send me a video from your phone, let me know and we can setup a Zoom call to record your question.

Thanks all, Nico
