I asked ChatGPT to regenerate the response a couple more times. Here are the results:

Text-based word processors, also known as command-line or terminal-based word processors, are
operated through a command-line interface rather than through a graphical user interface (GUI).
These types of word processors are 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 use of a mouse or other input device to navigate through menus and
options.
Customizability: Text-based word processors often allow for more customization and flexibility,
as users can create their own scripts and macros to automate repetitive tasks.
Accessibility: Text-based word processors can be used on a wide range of devices, including
servers and older computers, which may not have the resources to support a GUI-based word processor.
Lightweight: Text-based word processors are often lightweight, and don't require as much
resources as GUI-based word processors.
Accessibility for blind users: Text-based word processors are more accessible for visually
impaired users, as they can be used with a screen reader.
It's worth noting that text-based word processors are not as user-friendly as GUI-based ones, and
may not have as many features or capabilities, but they're useful in certain scenarios like
automation or remote access.

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 or other graphical elements.
Customization: Text-based word processors can be more easily customized and tailored to specific
needs because they are controlled by commands or scripts, which can be modified or created as
needed.
Accessibility: Text-based word processors are accessible for people with visual impairments, as
they don't rely on graphical elements to be used.
Terminal-based: Text-based word processors can be run from a terminal, which can be useful for
developers and power users who want to integrate the word processor into their workflow.
Remote access: Text-based word processors can be accessed remotely via SSH, allowing for greater
flexibility in how and where the program is used.
It's worth noting that text-based word processors are mainly used for a specific use case, where the
user is familiar with the command line interface and doesn't need the visual aids that GUI provides.
For regular users, GUI-based word processors are more user-friendly and easy to use.

The reference to SSH, on the third try, is remarkable, at least to me. Also, note the variation in
the wording of the closing paragraph in each of the three instances of output.
I hope that NI (natural intelligence) ethicists are eating their Wheaties.
