ChatGPT often won't defend its answers, even when it is right: Study finds weakness in large languag... ChatGPT may do an impressive job at correctly answering complex questions, but a new study suggests it may be absurdly easy to convince the AI chatbot that it's in the wrong.

Stewarding the Army profession through writing is essential.

I was thrilled to spend the last few days at West Point working to advance professional writing as part of the Harding Project ( lnkd.in/gDhbfPTD).

Excited to share the latest from me, @risabrooks12.bsky.social, and @eclipticevader.bsky.social in TNSR which centers on a novel survey of retired flag officers and features a framework to assess the state of the norm against retired officer political activism. (1/2)

A gentle reminder to cut needless "ly" adverbs from your writing.

Be ruthless.
