At Fireside BBS we embrace AI as a means to link the retro with the modern.
I've created a new OpenAI door that allows me to pass a prompt
to it via an .ini file and it will return the results and display them in a
paged format to the user. You'll see it as you log into the BBS. It also has
sections in the .ini file to define multiple prompts and you can call them via
the command line parameters passed to it. So I can define stuff like..

*Give Me 10 Hot 100 Songs For This Day In History, Sorted By Year
*Give Me 10 World News Articles For This Day In History, Sorted By Year
*Give Me 5 Christian Inspirational Quotes
*Give Me 10 Top Rated TV Shows For This Day In History, Sorted By Year
*Give Me 10 Worldwide Weather Facts For This Day In History, Sort By Year

It's been fun just seeing what I can make it do.
Here's an example of a weather related prompt...

=== Fireside BBS Weather Facts For This Day In History ===

1. **1888**  The Great Blizzard of 1888, one of the most severe recorded
blizzards in American history, began on January 14 and lasted through January
17, paralyzing the Northeast with up to 55 inches of snow and winds exceeding
45 miles per hour.

2. **1912**  On January 14, the town of Eskimo Point (now Arviat) in Canada
recorded temperatures down to -52øC (-61.6øF), illustrating the extreme cold
snaps that can affect the Arctic regions during mid-winter.

3. **1929**  A rare snowstorm engulfed parts of the southern United States,
including Florida, on January 14, an event of considerable meteorological
interest due to the unusual latitude of snow precipitation.

4. **1943**  The Soviet Union faced one of its harshest cold waves during World
War II, with temperatures on January 14 plunging to below -40øC (-40øF) in
parts of Western Russia, deeply affecting soldiers and civilians alike.

5. **1950**  On January 14, a major ice storm struck Ontario, Canada, resulting
in widespread power outages and extensive damage to infrastructure due to heavy
glaze ice accumulation, highlighting the hazards of freezing rain events.
