Reid: Please list for me the ways in which GPT-4 and similar AIs could be of help with counteracting illiteracy, recidivism, and loneliness among a prison population. GPT-4 (edited for length): GPT-4 and similar AIs can be of great help in countering illiteracy, recidivism, and loneliness among a prison population in the follow- ing ways: 73
