I’ve been experimenting with ChatGPT\"Opens<\/a> quite a bit lately (let’s be honest, who hasn’t). And at some point, I had the idea to ask ChatGPT to explain the Newton-Raphson method\"Opens<\/a> to me. But, as you have seen here on ComputingSkillset.com, I have quite some experience using this method.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, I added a twist to the whole thing and asked ChatGPT to write the explanation in the style of the King-James version of the Holy Bible\"Opens<\/a>. Since I found the result quite well-done, I want to share it with you here. I’ll start with the prompt I used and then put the response below. I added formatting for math formulae in post-production.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

The Prompt<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\n

Write a step-by-step instruction for the Newton-Raphson method, but in the style of the King James version of the bible.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

And ChatGPT 4 spake, saying:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

  1. And it came to pass, that the Lord didst reveal a method unto Sir Isaac Newton, and the method was called the Newton-Raphson method, and it was good. Verily, thou shalt find the roots of equations by this method, and so shalt thou come to know their solutions.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Hearken unto the steps of the Newton-Raphson method, and inscribe them upon the tablets of thine heart:\n
