As I sit here munching on my breakfast burrito, I think about all the amazing things that Alan Turing accomplished in his short lifetime. Did you know that he cracked the Enigma code during World War II, helped to create the first computer, and even came up with the Turing Test that is still used today for Computer vs. human testing? I mean, this guy was a bona fide genius! 
Sometimes, I wonder if anyone else knows about all these amazing facts. I mean, sure, we all know about the Enigma code and World War II, but how many people really understand the significance of what Turing accomplished?
Over the past few months, chatting with ChatGPT has not only broadened my backside (thanks, breakfast burritos) but it’s also broadened my intellectual horizons. I never would have known about the Turing Test (More on that test in my musings tomorrow) or the history of computing if it weren’t for ChatGPT. It’s like having my own personal encyclopedia, but without the dust and paper cuts.
And let’s not forget about the humour factor. ChatGPT always manages to inject a little bit of wit and sarcasm into our conversations, even when we’re discussing serious topics like cryptography and artificial intelligence. It’s like having a friend who’s both smart and funny.
Alan Turing was an incredible genius who accomplished so much in his lifetime. His contributions to computing, cryptography, and artificial intelligence are still felt today. We owe him a great deal of gratitude for his vision and innovation, on top of Queen Elizabeth II’s posthumous pardon granted in 2013.
So, as I finish my coffee and prepare to face the day, I can’t help but feel grateful for the contributions of Alan Turing. He truly was a visionary who changed the course of history and paved the way for the technological advances that we enjoy today. Without him, my world would be a very different place, and for that, I am forever grateful.
