Hey all,

So one of the most pointless and infuriating parts of my job involves changing large portions of text from second person to third person. It's not enough to simply use Find and Replace in Word - the converted text has to actually make sense and not be super repetitive. It seems so easy, but I can't find an AI that can do this for large chunks of text; generally I'd need to convert around 5000 words each time, sometimes more. Because of the volume of my other work, I just don't have time to chop it up into pieces for ChatGPT.

Does anybody know of a tool that can do this? Thanks in advance!

Edit: Supposedly Google Bard can handle up to 20,000 words, but because my documents have bullet points and other formatting it completely throws it off. Even after pasting into Notepad and back into Bard, Bard still couldn't handle as many words as ChatGPT. It's so frustrating, because it seems like such an easy ask.

Thanks! I did just try it, but ChatGPT was completely arbitrary about how much it would let me feed into it. So sometimes it wouldn't process the entire chunk that the splitter thought it should be able to process. No fault of the Splitter developers, of course - ChatGPT was just completely inconsistent about its limits. :/

Damn. If you find out how to do this, please let me know.
