    A good exercise climber. Do that 10 times up and 10 times down daily and after a month we’d all have new bodies though that may cause some of those bodies to turn into ash! The new steps look great

    ChatGPG does its own thing unless you are extremely specific. Even then it gets locked into some that sometimes you have to delete and start over. The paid version is better reacting to your commands than the free version is but not much better. German vibe or not I like the image. Have fun with it
