I asked ChatGPT to rewrite Bohemian Rhapsody to be about the life of a postdoc, and the output was flawless:

All NeuroImage and NeuroImage:Reports editors have resigned over the high publication fee, and are starting a new non-profit journal imaging-neuroscience.org This comes with great regret, and a huge amount of thought and discussion- please read announcement to get more details.

Elsevier is losing editors

I wrote a short piece comparing ChatGPT to the brain TLDR
