My request of the day to AI: “Act as Charles Maurice Talleyrand de Perigord. Explain the French Revolution to me.”

Alternately, could act as

  • Robespierre
  • Fouche
  • a clergyman
  • Louis XVI
  • Marie Antoinette
  • Louis XVIII
  • Napoleon
  • Alexander I of Russia
  • Thomas Jefferson

One thing AI will do is make history more exciting than ever to study.

Back tomorrow with more news.
