I created a custom GPT for the Weekly Thing! You’ll need a ChatGPT account (I think free is fine) and you can go to: Weekly Thing GPT.

This is a custom GPT that I’ve made available to anyone. It is loaded with all 310 issues of the Weekly Thing published so far. You can ask it all sorts of questions about topics in the Weekly Thing and it does a pretty great job with it all. Some things you can try asking it that I thought were fun:

  1. What is the Weekly Thing view on social media?
  2. What is worse, Facebook or TikTok?
  3. Summarize issue X.
  4. What are the prevailing themes of the Weekly Thing by year?
  5. Show me a list of articles on X along with the issue they were in.
