Here is a preview of one of our recent issues. Every edition is 600–900 words — long enough to be genuinely useful, short enough to read over breakfast.

Issue #1 · Sample Edition

What is ChatGPT — and should you try it?

You have probably heard the name ChatGPT by now. Maybe your grandchild mentioned it at dinner, or you saw it on the news. Perhaps someone at your local library said it can write letters, answer questions, or help plan a trip. And you thought: that sounds useful, but also a bit mysterious.

You are not wrong on either count. This week, I want to explain what ChatGPT actually is, in plain English — no computer science required. And then I will tell you honestly whether I think you should try it, and how to do so safely...
