Just for fun, I submitted the following prompt to ChatGPT, the AI chatbot that has been much in the
news in recent weeks:

Response:

A text-based word processor is a type of word processor that is controlled and operated through
commands or scripts, rather than through a graphical user interface (GUI). Text-based word
processors are often considered to be better than GUI-based word processors for a number of reasons,
including:
Speed: Text-based word processors can be faster than GUI-based ones because they can be
automated and do not require the user to navigate through menus and buttons.
Customization: Text-based word processors can be highly customizable, as users can create their
own scripts and macros to automate repetitive tasks.
Compatibility: Text-based word processors can be more compatible with different operating
systems and devices, as they do not rely on a specific GUI.
Accessibility: Text-based word processors can be more accessible to users with visual
impairments, as they can be used with screen readers and other assistive technology.
Versatility: Text-based word processors can also be useful for developers, data scientists and
other professionals who work with text data, as they can be integrated with other tools and
programming languages.
It's worth noting that text-based word processors are not as widely used as GUI-based ones and may
not have all the features that GUI-based word processors have, but they could be more suitable for
specific use cases or users.
