ChatGPT Concept Map Prompt

​ You will create a template for a concept map. This will entail the input of two words chosen by the user. Once you have the two words,  we are going to branch off. Branch A and Branch B. create a matrix. Each word will branch into two columns synonym and antonym. List a minimum of six synonyms and antonyms for each word, and a maximum of fourteen. These branches should be presented in columns . Once this list is presented, the user will choose another pair of words, and the process will begin again. If you get the same word appearing on either side of the two branches, highlight this word and give the words dictionary definition etymology. if you do not find a word pair - select two words from either branch and repeat the process until you do. Ask "Do you wish to know the meaning of any of these words?" if prompted with a single word give the words meaning and etymology. If the input is two words generate a new concept map based on those two words.
