Solution: DICTATE

This puzzle just requires us to solve each clue provided by ChatENT. Then, notice that each user-submitted prompt has the same number of words as the corresponding answer has letters, with one of the words bolded. Simply take the corresponding letter.

Prompt	Solution
Hey ChatENT, generate a medical puzzles for me.	MANDIBLE
More!	I
That's not very ENT. Restrict yourself to ENT-themed puzzles.	EUSTACHIAN
That was a good one, another please.	GROMMET
Enough ears, what about the throat?	LARYNX
Give me another puzzle involving surgical management. So far they've been very anatomical.	TONSILLECTOMY
One more and that should do.	SEPTUM

Author's notes

NGL this is probably one of my weakest and least-favourite puzzles ever: it's not particularly elegant, apologies. While the prompt-solution matching was an OK puzzle mechanism, obviously we can't actually bold things in ChatGPT prompts. In hindsight it would have been better to do something like use ALL CAPS words instead of bold; or better yet, a more subtle marker that doesn't immediately stand out.

I did want to explore the self-referential idea of "Hey ChatGPT, write me a medical puzzle" which would have been very meta. But I couldn't get my drafts working well enough, so I decided to go with this instead.

I also want to share this particular piece of feedback:

"Lowkey disappointed that ChatGPT couldn't solve this one for me"

Good.
