i was curious so i tried it with chatgpt. here are the chat links:
- first expansion
- first summary
- second expansion
- second summary
- third expansion
- third summary
- fourth expansion
- fourth summary
- fifth expansion
- fifth summary
- sixth expansion
- sixth summary
overall it didn’t seem too bad. it sort of started focusing on the ecological and astrobiological side of the same topic but didn’t completely drift. to be honest, i think it would have done a lot worse if i made the prompt less specific. if it was just “summarize this text” and “expand on these points” i think chatgpt would get very distracted
that’s why i ran every request in a different chat session
