ChatGPT designs some darned good color schemes for web pages (in my case for online courses specifically)

I needed some ideas for color schemes for a course template I was working on. In the past I've gone to a couple of sites that provide existing palettes for inspiration. This time I thought I would see if ChatGPT could generate schemes for me based upon a set of colors that my institution uses for their marketing site. This is the result, and yes I did use portions of two of the designs below in the course design. What was surprising to me was the addition of the scheme names and the descriptions. Very creative.

I really would like confirmation that a used Mercedes or BMW or even Mercedes is a good idea. ChatGPT won't give me that satisfaction.

Image
 I'm looking for a used car for commuting. I currently own an older BMW and was hoping to be able to justify another one, since mine was in an accident that left it with suspension issues. ChatGPT won't give me the satisfaction of concurring that this is a good idea. This was a lot more useful than reading customer and media reviews and more easily being able to fall subject to confirmation bias. I appreciate that it didn't, and am at the same time vaguely irritated that it didn't as well.

What is this blog about?

 I have recently started using ChatGPT for a variety of information gathering purposes. I thought it might be valuable to save many of these conversations, mostly because they may have long term value to me, but also because I have want to try to demystify this marvelous, if sometimes inaccurate and sometimes even unusable tool for others.   In my line of work, which is higher education, this tool has been quite frequently maligned, and I at one time had a negative reaction view on the media I was reading. Hey, faculty are freaking out about this, why wouldn't I? I'm currently in the role of instructional designer, and I can be replaced in-part by ChatGPT. I have no illusions about that. What it can't do is the creative part of my job. That said, it does an amazing job at some things, and I wanted to be able to showcase some of the results, again to try to demystify as well as educate about what is possible. Most of what you'll find here are just short prompts. I find C...
