ChatGPT can format long text

[past mango]

Description:

You can use ChatGPT to turn long text into paragraphs with sections or tables.

Prompt for making sections and paragraphs:

Divide the text below into paragraphs. Each paragraph should start with a section title that summarizes the paragraph in bold followed by a new line. Reproduce the sentences as is.

Example text :

Beetles are a group of insects that belong to the order Coleoptera, which is the largest order of insects, representing about 40% of all insects. Beetles have a hard exoskeleton and a pair of wings, with the front pair of wings modified into hard wing covers, known as elytra, that protect the delicate hindwings and the beetle's body. Beetles have a diverse range of body shapes and sizes, with some species being less than a millimeter long while others can reach up to 10 centimeters in length. Beetles have a characteristic head with large compound eyes, chewing mouthparts, and two antennae. Beetles have a complex life cycle that typically involves metamorphosis from an egg to a larva, pupa, and finally an adult. Beetles are found in almost every habitat, from deserts to forests, and in fresh and salt water, and they play important roles as decomposers, pollinators, and herbivores in many ecosystems. Some species of beetles are pests that can damage crops and forests, while others are beneficial insects that are used for biological control of pests. The diversity of beetles is remarkable, with over 400,000 species described to date, and it is estimated that there may be as many as 5 to 8 million species in total.

Can the output be exported?

You would have to copy/paste, because the bot has no access to the internet, just our interface to chat

For the table you can ask it to specify the format you want although I do not know how well it does for each format. The easiest might be to tell it to provide the table in markdown which is then automatically rendered to a table in some apps like Notion.

You can try telling it to format along another format and then copy paste the result. For example, some format compatible with a database app you might use or a format that allows you to copy and paste the text into a file and then import the file.

Optional :

You can also consider using the GPT3 API (there is a free trial) and perhaps soon the ChatGPT API from the openAI website to use it whenever you want and to integrate in code that would allow you to do more things automatically.
