ChatGPT and a Three Level Mind Map
I craft an input which ChatGPT uses to successfully make a mind map on sustainable agriculture.
Input to ChatGPT:
Give the essential aspects of regenerative agriculture, and its related disciplines of organic agriculture, and permaculture. Discuss similarities and differences. Starting with a root node of "Agriculture", make a numbered hierarchical tree in XML in the format used by the mind mapping tools Freeplane and Freemind. Use a code box.
Output from ChatGPT:
Note: it took several re-generate requests to get a file which worked. This is typical of ChatGPT.
