It's very imperfect and experimental, of course, but I found it amusing nonetheless. I've done several tests, and it generally looks pretty accurate

You might need to ask it to answer in English (it was set up in French, and seems to want to answer back in French most of the time).

Give it a try!

Graph of how a text corresponds to different ideological nebulae, showing that it mostly corresponds to Libertarian individualist and Anti-Elite populist, and also somewhat to Communitarian Conservative.

As the election campaign gets underway, I'd like to share with you a little trick I've been playing with ChatGPT. An ideological discourse analysis tool:
chatgpt.com/g/g-6739f110...

Essentially, you can copy text or a URL, and it assigns a “score'” for different ideological nebulae.

C'est bien sûr très imparfait et expérimental, mais je trouvais ça quand même amusant. J'ai fait plusieurs tests, et ça semble généralement assez juste.

Essayez-le, si ça vous chante!

En ce début de campagne électorale, je partage avec vous un petit truc que je me suis amusé à faire avec ChatGPT. Un outil d'analyse du discours:
chatgpt.com/g/g-6739f110...

Essentiellement, on peut y copier du texte ou un URL, et le Custom GPT attribue un "score" idéologique.

Health Infobase - Health data in Canada - Canada.ca Data tools, infographics, charts and blogs about health data in Canada.

I worked a bit on the info base a few years ago, helping with redesigning the home page and the templai. It was a really cool gig:

Wei-Ju (Heidi) Wang on LinkedIn: Wei-Ju (Heidi) Wang - Canada School of Public Service | École de la… Hi all! While I still have the luxury of time to look for the best fit for me, I am writing this in hopes that my current dream role is out there. I would love…

The choice Thomas awoke to the soft light of a progressive dawn. Pleasant music, carefully selected by Amber for a voluptuous awakening, enveloped the room. Amber’s voice, so natural, so clear and comforting, so...

I wrote this short story a few years ago. It's not very subtle, and maybe even slightly "didactic", but in light of the recent events, I find it rather "entertaining"...!

Le choix Thomas se réveilla à l’aide de la douce lumière d’une aube progressive. Une agréable musique, judicieusement sélectionnée par Amber pour un réveil tout en volupté, enveloppait la chambre. La voix d’Am...

J'ai écrit cette nouvelle il y a plusieurs années. Ce n'est pas particulièrement subtil, et peut-être même un peu didactique, mais à la lumière des récents événements, je trouve ça plutôt divertissant..!

Picture of a park in Montreal, in the winter, with an improvised diagonal path (where people cut across instead of following the predetermined path).

Finally, the winter version of a "desire line"!

This poster is from the U.S. Holocaust Museum. Download and spread this image. We have to recognize these signs before it's too late.

State, bureaucracy and power - Reflections of a bureaucrat There’s no point in denying it: I’m a bureaucrat. As a career government worker, I’m part of the machinery of the state, for better or worse. I find the English expression “public servant” elegantly ...

First post for me on this platform! I'll be using it mostly for UX and public service related stuff.

As a first contribution, I'd like to share a little thing I wrote recently:

Are we supposed to use tags the same way?

Such a nice idea! Thanks for this. I'm still quite a bit lost around here.

If you could add me, it would be great!
