The topics this time was mean to be reading goals for 2023 and how and what we wanted to read. Invariably , like a lot of conversations, apart from reading, we ended up discussing chatGPT, it's uses, abuses , bias and mathematics. Almost all of us wanted to look and understand more of AI. We also discussed structure . We also spoke about podcasts and how they are coming in. Also, if the written word has many days left on paper or paper will be with the leaves in oblivion was a point of conversation.
