Attach a piece of writing to a chatbot. My written piece should contain certain information. Ask the chatbot to repeat that information. If the chatbot can&#8217;t, perhaps the information isn&#8217;t there. Perhaps I intended to put the information in the piece. Perhaps I felt it was obvious and didn&#8217;t need to be there. Perhaps I merely made yet another mistake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The good news is that I found a new tool for performing a deeper test of what I have written. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>by Dwayne Phillips A chatbot can be used to check a longer piece of writing for content.
