Chatbot Gossip

Dr. S. prompts "Gepetto" to share the chatter about me

I got a screenshot from a friend showing how the first thing ChatGPT said about me is I was a mathematician. 

ChatGPT: 
Kirby Urner is a mathematician, writer, and educator known for his work in promoting innovative ways to teach mathematics and computer science. He is particularly interested in leveraging technology to improve education and has written extensively about integrating programming and mathematical concepts. Urner is also known for his contributions to the Python programming community and for developing curriculum materials that explore the intersections of mathematics, technology, and philosophy.
 
One of Urner's notable contributions is his work on "Martian Math," a curriculum that explores geometry and other mathematical concepts through the lens of Buckminster Fuller's synergetics, which is a philosophical approach to understanding the geometry of the universe. Urner's work often reflects a deep interest in Fuller's ideas, including the concepts of geodesic domes and the efficient use of resources.  
Urner has also been involved in discussions about the future of education, advocating for more open and flexible learning environments that can adapt to the needs of diverse learners. He has contributed to various online forums, blogs, and conferences, sharing his insights on mathematics education, programming, and the potential of technology to transform learning. 

Given the broad range of his interests and activities, Kirby Urner is recognized as a thought leader in the fields of mathematics education and educational technology, with a particular focus on making learning more engaging, relevant, and accessible to students of all backgrounds. 

ChatGPT can make mistakes. Consider checking important information. 
I wondered what else the chatbots might be saying about me behind my back (as it were), and another friend sent some eye-opening answers:
I'll have to keep my eye on these robo-reviews.
