This is a fun back-and-forth chat between Tony Hirst and chatGPT. Here's how he sets the context: "Generate an exam question intended to assess a first year undergraduate's level of understanding of relational databases. Then generate a marking guide..." Now the conversation isn't without its hiccups. chatGPT seems to have trouble counting to ten. It sometimes mangles sentences. But overall, considering this represents a few seconds of effort, the results are impressive. See also this exchange with chatGPT. Or generating diagrams with chatGPT. Or this chat with an unreliable chatGPT with a regional idiom.
