Once again, I have reched out to ChatGPT for suggestions on the cstegory structure for the new, improved website.
I find that AI comes up with good suggestions but, one must bear in mind that AI has no inherent wisdom, it is merely regurgitating information it has trawled from existing websites so it is important to put your own unique spin on the suggested details given to you.
However, it is evident that I have been feeding ChatGPT with a lot of my personal experiences and this has been reflected in the suggestions it has provided.
