I may be a bit ignorant on this still, but are these actually correct?
Specifically the second one - can you grant ChatGPT access to your social accounts or is it suggesting it will output ideas and dates that those ideas should be executed?

Most of what I see is Q&A dialogue, but I also know you can ask it to open a terminal and run programming commands, install libraries, etc.
