The dialogue format makes it possible for ChatGPT to answer follow-up questions, admit its mistakes, challenge incorrect premises, and reject inappropriate requests. Currently, ChatGPT can undertake interaction in a way that approximates human behavior closely and, in some cases, imperceptibly. This means that we can expect it to be able to come up with personalized marketing, social media captions, sales content and more. It can also answer complex questions by pulling from vast amounts of legal documentation and draft and review annual reports David Bounds, Division Director, Information Technology Training, US Dept. of Homeland Security (retired) WHAT EXACTLY IS CHATGPT? 3 With a system this scarily human-like, of course the question on everyone’s mind is, "What exactly can this system not do?" According to experts, one area it still lacks is in credibility of the content thrown out. ChatGPT has the potential to sometimes write “plausible sounding but incorrect or nonsensical answers.” ChatGPT is often excessively verbose and overuses certain phrases, such as restating that it’s a language model trained by OpenAI. This essentially means that while it is a very highly intelligent system, it does have its flaws and which means that human intervention, at least for now, is still a necessity. ChatGPT is a generative AI language model that can create original content in response to a user prompt. It is a model that has been trained by OpenAI, an AI research and deployment company, to interact in a conversational way.
4 Overall, the possibilities for ChatGPT and other natural language processing tools are vast and continually expanding as the technology improves. As these tools become more advanced, they have the potential to transform the way we communicate and interact with computers. Check out ChatGPT at: https://openai.com/ HERE ARE A FEW EXAMPLES OF WHAT CHATGPT CAN CURRENTLY DO: Chatbot: ChatGPT can be used as a chatbot, which is a program that can engage in naturalsounding conversations with users on a wide range of topics. It can summarize text: This is useful for quickly understanding the main points of a long article or document. Language translation: ChatGPT can translate text from one language to another, which is useful for communicating with people who speak different languages. Question-answering: ChatGPT can answer questions by generating text that provides an answer to the question. Sentiment analysis: ChatGPT can analyze the sentiment of a piece of text, which is useful for understanding how people feel about a particular topic. 1 2 3 4 5 Disclaimer: All of the information provided by Tech Talk is for the purpose of general use only.

YARD of the MONTH It is fabulous garden weather in North Texas and the charming yard of Jo White at 928 Shoal Creek Drive is showing off its spring outfit in style! The front beds are designed around three shiny, burgundy-hued pots that form bubbling fountains. Blooming around the boulders and stone paving are perennials in every shade: white Ox-eyed and Shasta Daisy; Red Hot Poker in a sunny yellow; trailing Phlox in a pale lavender; dainty, creamy white Candytuff; Radio Red Salvia Greggii; and Victoria Blue Salvia that will soon sport a glorious blueish/purple bloom. Evergreen shrubs, Peonies, and colorful Nandina provide structure at the back of the border. A unique metal sculpture anchors one side of the driveway along with pots of chartreuse Creeping Jenny and a Magnolia tree with its shiny, dark green leaves. Finally, a lattice style metal bench offers a special place to sit and enjoy the sights and sounds of this springtime delight!

Safety Improvements The Infrastructure Committee routinely receives inquiries and suggestions from residents about modifications that could enhance safety. One recent concern had to do with traffic flow on Heritage Boulevard at the traffic circle not being clearly defined. Following review by the Safety Workgroup, and discussion with management, the decision was made to install the new solid yellow stripe to augment existing reflectors and better define traffic lanes. Be reminded that traffic on Heritage Blvd is to yield to traffic in the circle that may be continuing through and not exiting the circle. This has been raised by several residents as a safety concern as well. In conjunction with this, a more permanent stripe was placed on the golf cart path around the corner of the outdoor pool by the driving range. This replaces a painted line placed in 2022. The intent is to caution pedestrians and cart drivers to the upcoming curve and remind them to keep safely to the right. Mike Brown Lead, Safety/Security/Traffic Workgroup of Infrastructure Committee INFRASTRUCTURE COMMITTEE 7
There’s great news regarding the new Tree Farm Project. The first-year phase of this five-year project is well under way. The first irrigation line is completed and in use, and the weed barrier has been installed. We are now adding plants along with operational inventory. The week of March 20 we received delivery of 60 Crepe Myrtles (4 varieties), 20 Eastern Red Cedars, 15 Savannah Hollies, 15 Nellie R. Stevens Hollies and 15 Vitexes. We are currently working on security, because it is vital that we protect our investment. As promised, we are also installing screening plants along Mustang to reduce the aesthetic impact. The support and community interest for this undertaking has been outstanding and we are expecting big returns in the years to come. This project is primarily a growing operation; therefore we purchase immature, smaller plants and grow them to a size where they can be used effectively in our landscape. This is done so that within a few years, a large mature plant valued at several hundred dollars may be installed which originally cost a small fraction of that. By doing it this way, we will save a considerable amount of money on plant procurement and replacement. NEWS The secondary advantage of having an area like this is that we have a place to store plants, keeping them healthy until we can plant them. Sometimes there is a time lapse between taking delivery of the plants and getting them in the ground. With this new facility, that problem is solved. We ask you to keep in mind that this is an experimental undertaking for us, and we are continuing to learn as we move forward. All of our decisions are measured, and we have used consultants every step of the way. Because of this approach, we have made few, if any, mistakes thus far. For the most part, all is going as planned and is on schedule and within budget. In the future, we will certainly identify more beneficial uses for this new addition to our infrastructure. Some of these applications will be implemented enabling us to continue making more efficient use of our resources. These efforts will continue to enhance the overall appearance of our already beautiful community.

YOUR LIFE▸ASK THE SUPERINTENDENT By James Williams Jr., PGA & Anthony L. Williams, CGCS, CGM, MG Taking Care of Your Club Five areas of etiquette that have impact on the protection of a course Welcome back avid golfers and please note the arrival of the most anticipated month in golf, April 2023 is finally here. Yes, the Masters will officially start on April 6th, the DFW frost date passes on April 20th and we will celebrate Earth Day on Aprill 22. Golf season is here and now is the perfect time to answer the oldest of questions that I hear around the club, “what are my responsibilities as a player regarding my impact on playing conditions?" This question is so important that I brought in some backup to help explain the depths of golf etiquette. Please welcome my coauthor this month, the new Director of Golf at TPC Las Colinas, James Williams Jr., PGA. After much discussion, years of experience and deep reflection James and I have found five important areas of etiquette that can have great impact on the playability and protection of the course. We will give you the tools and golf course operator insights to help make the game of golf more enjoyable for you, the club and everyone who plays behind you. Now on the Tee We will save general club etiquette (off the course) for another article so we will begin our etiquette for playability with the tee area. The first etiquette opportunity is please do not make unnecessary divots. Practice swings are air only especially if you are waiting to tee off on a par three, remind your entire group on this one as we have seen many practice swing full divots accidentally taken over the years and we always cringe. Another opportunity for player excellence on the teeing ground is to help the maintenance crew mow and maintain a clean tee by picking up all tees on the teeboxes (yours plus any abandoned/broken tees) and discard them in a trash can or the golf cart. This helps keep the grounds looking clutter free and reduces unnecessary damage to the tee mower reels etc. Grip it, rip it, and don’t forget to pick up your tee. Be Sure to Sand Divots in the Fairways, Tees and Roughs Please use the sand provided on the golf cart to fill in all divots in the Fairways, Tees, and Roughs. This helps the turf grow back in and prevents other players' golf balls from landing in a divot. The sand actually speeds the healing of the turf encouraging new shoot growth from the stolons and rhizomes while allowing for a more uniformed playing surface as soon as the sand is applied. Remember the last time you really hit a great drive and it landed in an unfilled divot. Pay it forward and always sand your divots. We have plenty of sand, so as you are filling your divot fill the divot even to the turf line and level it again, looking to fill the void created by the club head. Take extra time on par-3 tees as these take the most traffic and are generally iron shots. Our green committee chairman is famous for carrying extra sand bottles to help serve the membership. Be an example and never finish a round with a full sand bottle. 9
Rake Bunkers The maintenance staff will rake the bunkers as part of the ongoing maintenance of the course but after they have moved on to other tasks for the day it becomes the players themselves that must maintain the standard. Please rake all bunkers after you have completed your shot. Smooth all footprints and such and leave the rake on the outside edge of the bunker or as the posted policy of the club dictates. Many clubs have a bunker rake policy as to whether it’s in or out of the bunker or if a marker has been placed in the ground to mark the preferred placement of the bunker rake. When in doubt look at the closest bunker and you will see the pattern. Does anyone remember playing golf just after the Covid – 19 protocols were in place (Summer 2020) with no bunker rakes at all? Those days are fortunately behind us and we now have the responsibility to leave the bunker as playable as possible. It’s 100% the responsibility of the player to rake the bunker back to the posted standard after a shot is played from these beach-like penalty areas. A quick tip from the sand man is to push sand up on steep slopes carefully and always exit on the low side raking your tracks out as you go. We could write another article about the sand art that we find in the bunkers some mornings. Repair All Ball Marks Please repair ALL ball marks you see on the green as you walk onto the putting surface. Please use a divot tool or tee to cover up the ball mark with grass from around the edges. Never lift the center of the ball mark up as it damages the roots and will take longer to heal. Many clubs offer complimentary ball mark tools at the tee or in the clubhouse and post signage and/or display videos on how to properly repair a ball mark. If you are playing on Bentgrass greens in the summer be aware that they are generally softer as the moisture management required to keep the cool season grass alive during intense heat often means deeper and more numerous ball marks. Our greens committee once repaired more than 10,000 extra ball marks during the golf season as a committee goal. We dream of a day when there will be no need for repairing anyone else’s ball marks but until then we continue to educate as best we can. Follow Golf Cart Traffic Rules The modern golf cart is amazing. Electric with lithium batteries, customized in 1,000 ways and with the club’s fleet carts logging more rounds of golf than ever that creates some issues when it comes to turf damage from cart traffic. Let’s start with the basics, please obey the general golf cart rules of the day, for example please use the 90- degree cart rule, Entry and Exit Stakes, or Cart Path Only (CPO) polices as posted by the club and enforced by the staff. It is an overwhelming consistency that clubs post that carts must remain on the path around all tees and greens and on all par 3 holes. It certainly has been at every club I have served, and yet the traffic wear patterns and personal verifications tell me that many members ignore the rules. This can be extremely damaging to turf especially during the transition months or periods of drought and heat. It is a simple fix though, follow the basic rules. Watch out for wet spots, and avoid heavy traffic areas. Anthony L. Williams, MG, CGCS, CGM is the Director of Golf and Landscape Operations at the TPC Four Seasons Golf and Sports Club Dallas at Las Colinas, he is an awardwinning environmental author with a degree in horticulture. Anthony can be reached at [email protected]. Stay away from greens and tees with your carts. Watch for the beverage cart and try to pass by in wider areas of the cart path to protect cart path edges. When we call for CPO it is to protect the course’s green assets and ensure your safety. If everyone could see the situation through our eyes you would know that we want the operation back to normal as quickly as possible but not one minute too soon. Help us this golf season by being mindful of when and how you drive on the course. Thank you for your time and attention. We hope that you play more golf than ever in 2023 and that our tips and insights will be of value to you and the game. We hope to see you on the course soon but until then keep reading Avid golfer magazine and do not miss the annual May (Best) Flowers column next month. 10
Like most structures in a 20-year old community, the Heritage Ranch outdoor pool is showing its age. Although there are a number of renovations that could be made, due to the Master Facilities Study that is being launched with the assistance of Troon and Heritage Ranch leadership personnel, the Infrastructure Committee feels that any major pool renovations should be postponed until any impact of that Study is assessed as it relates to both indoor and outdoor venues. To give the outdoor pool a refresher before the 2023 swimming season and until the Master Facilities Study is complete, we will be accomplishing minor updates in the next few weeks that relate to safety and other preventive maintenance issues. These projects are: repairing trip hazards, securing loose coping tiles, and replacing damaged mastic. We will also be evaluating temporary, inexpensive options to add some additional shade to the pergola if possible for this pool season. Major pool renovation items such as replacing the plaster and tile, repairing or replacing deck, repairing the waterfall, replacing the pergola, and/or adding shade structures will all be part of the myriad discussions during the Heritage Ranch Master Facilities Plan being conducted under the auspices of the HOA Board.

Food & Beverage bites NEW DÉCOR You may have already seen the atmosphere change, especially in the evenings, with new decoration taking center stage on your dining table. After a review of several ideas, the western centerpiece was chosen. Then from a viewing by staff, BOD, Management, wait staff, assorted residents and Jeff from Troon of several different finishes for the selected piece, the overwhelming choice was “Tres Amigos” in a rustic finish. The candle holders are hand crafted by an artist in Arizona. The candles are real wax with a six month battery and a little wick. DO NOT TRY TO LIGHT THEM! They have a timer and come on automatically every evening at 5:00 pm. Ta Dah! For keeping those comment cards coming. These are such a big help for our F&B staff!

20 Featured Player of the Month Jan Urban I consider Jan one of our most nurturing players. She and her husband John organize and head the beginning pickleball classes. I was lucky to have her as an instructor. Jan is also the chairperson of the HRPC Events Committee. She underwent a full knee replacement in 2022 and is back to playing better than ever. Few players have control of all facets of the game like Jan. I hope to continue to learn from her. How long have you lived in Heritage Ranch and what brought you here? We purchased a home here in 2008. Thanks to my wonderful sister-in-law and brother-inlaw who lived in Plano at the time, they introduced us to Heritage Ranch. We didn’t want the snow and cold anymore and this active community was a perfect fit. Tell us a little more about yourself I have an amazing husband, John, that I have been lucky to be married to for the past 49 years. We have two beautiful daughters, two wonderful son-in-laws, and three grandchildren. They are all the light of my life. We also own a home in Golden, Colorado which is close to where they live. Summers are spent there to help and watch them grow. I worked in the school system as a principal secretary for an elementary school for 23 years. Once retired, I have enjoyed having slow mornings with that extra cup of coffee. How long have you been playing pickleball and what got you interested in the sport? I have been playing pickleball for about 5 years now. When I lived in Wisconsin, I was a racquetball player and won the Women’s Double State championship in the A division. Back then the grouping was by letter and not by the number system you see today. When we moved to Texas I didn’t know anyone that was playing racquetball. When pickleball was introduced here at Heritage Ranch I absolutely loved the game! Can a person of any age participate? Definitely yes! I help teach beginner pickleball classes and see people who have never done a racquet sport in their life and still go out and have fun
THE CHORALE Jan Samuels The Staging Crew is preparing the stage. The Costume Committee is passing out the costumes for both the Chorale and the Greeters. The Program Committee is getting the program ready to send to the printer. The Chorale is polishing the songs to be presented. All is getting ready for one of the best Spring Concerts ever! The theme for the concert is “I’ve Been Everywhere” and by the end of the concert those attending will feel they have “been everywhere”. This special presentation will be on the evenings of Thursday and Friday, May 4th and 5th at 7:00 pm in the Ballroom. This is the only fee-charged event the HR Chorale has every year. The tickets are $15 and are available online. The funds used for this concert are for music and other necessities for the Chorale to do free performances the rest of the year. Plan to attend and feel the joy of getting away from it all! THANK YOU A big thank you to Creekwood United Methodist Church on Country Club for allowing us to hold rehearsals on the days the Heritage Ranch Ballroom is being used for other events. Members Patty and Tom Deal have been instrumental in arranging a room for those practices at the church and we are grateful! SOCIAL The Social Committee is planning a Chorale Social at the end of May. It should be a celebration for all the hours the singers, Conductor Audra Turner, and accompanist Gail Wasson have spent getting everything just right for the Spring Concert. JOIN US The Chorale meets every Tuesday for rehearsals at 4 PM - 6 PM in the Ballroom (unless a paying activity is scheduled).

The final curtain call on the Heritage Ranch Theatre Guild Spring production, “Drinking Habits,” was on March 26, 2023. But thanks to the overwhelming support of our Heritage Ranch community, the HR Theatre Guild celebrated its first ever sell out with overflow seating – not once but twice. The Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday attendance resulted in a record 573 tickets sold. Not only was the attendance large, but each night the audience was enthusiastic and participatory in the energy and fun created throughout the evening. Thank you, HR family, for joyfully applauding the hard work of the “Drinking Habits” cast and crew and helping them recognize how much fun and what a sense of accomplishment can be had through the live theatre experience. Though the curtain has closed for the Spring, the HR Theatre Guild Play Selection Committee is already hard at work searching for a comedic script to share with everyone in the fall. Performance dates have been scheduled for November 15, 16, and 17, 2023. Auditions will be held in August for cast roles. Be bold and come see how fun changing your ‘I can’t’ to ‘I can’ might be. Additionally, there will be numerous folks needed for set design, the stage/prop crew, sound and light support, etc. Live theatre is not possible without your participation, so THANK YOU! for getting 2023 off to a rousing start.

We are a non-partisan group of North Texans concerned about the lasting impact of bringing commercial passenger service to McKinney National Airport. Our members include McKinney residents, McKinney residents living in extra-territorial (non-voting) areas of the city, people living in nearby communities and those living directly in the flight path of TKI. The City of McKinney wants to bring commercial passenger service to McKinney National Airport (TKI) by 2026. On May 6, McKinney voters are being asked to approve a tax sufficient to cover the principal and interest on a $200 million bond to expand the airport. Check our website (votenopropa.org) regularly for ways you can help.
