Cool!  I have long thought this should be possible.  From what I understand regarding how ChatGPT works, we should be able to use that statistical model, train it on our own writings, and maybe some other stuff that we agree is like ourselves (but smarter) then I should be able to create a spikeGPT.  Ja?

We can even do the voice thing, like the popular Johnny Cash spoof Barbie Girl.  BillK, that sounds like a total hoot.
