Task 1. ChatGPT¶
Prompt:
I'm a fan of cryptic crosswords. I'm also a PhD student in robotics; my work pertains to robot learning and planning. Please write me a robotics-related cryptic crossword clue!
(For those not familiar with cryptic crossword clues, here is an explanation of how they work.)
Answer:
Clue: Study of robot motion: I MEAN STICK reorganized (10)
Answer: KINEMATICS
Parsing: “reorganized” = anagram indicator; I MEAN STICK → KINEMATICS (definition = “Study of robot motion”).
Commentary: This was actually the second clue that ChatGPT wrote for me; I felt the first one was a bit of a stretch and didn't like it, so I reprompted. This one was produced after a longer thinking time, and I think it's a pretty good clue, although personally I would like to incorporate the "definition" part of the clue ("Study of robot motion") in a subtler way. I'd have to think on how to do that though.
