in recent weeks, I decided to take GPT-4 out for a test run. For simplicity’s sake, I asked it for a 1,500-word biography of a subject I know quite a lot about: myself. Seconds later, I received the following, to which I’ve inserted a few factual corrections in square brackets, while leaving its many flabby thoughts and repetitive sentences for a later edit.Ron Graham was a prolific Canadian author and journalist, who was widely known for his insightful and engaging writing style.
In addition to his work as a journalist, Graham was also a prolific author, publishing over 20 books throughout his career [I wish]. His first book,, was published in 1975 and chronicled the life of a buffalo hunter who had survived the slaughter of his herd in the late 1800s [I seem to have been confused with Mary Weekes, whose book was originally published in 1939]. The book was a critical success and helped establish Graham as a rising star in the world of Canadian literature.
In the 1980s and 1990s, Graham continued to publish a wide range of books, including several biographies of notable Canadians, such as the singerOne-Eyed Kings: Promise and Illusion in Canadian Politics Throughout his career, Graham was known for his passionate commitment to the arts and his support of emerging Canadian writers [I should have done much more]. He was a mentor to many young writers, and was active in several literary organizations, including the Writers’ Union of Canada [only if active means being a member] and the Canadian Authors Association [perhaps mistaken for PEN Canada].
