    Do you agree/disagree with Chatbot BARD's response to that question (see below)?:


    Shakespeare was a popular and successful playwright in his own time, but he was not the superstar that he is today. He was one of many playwrights working in London during the Elizabethan era, and his plays were performed alongside those of other
    successful playwrights such as Christopher Marlowe, Ben Jonson, and John Webster.

    However, there is evidence to suggest that Shakespeare was particularly well-regarded by his contemporaries. For example, he was a member of the Lord Chamberlain's Men, one of the most prestigious acting companies in London, and his plays were often
    performed at court for Queen Elizabeth I. Additionally, a number of Shakespeare's plays were published during his lifetime, which was unusual for the time.

    In the years following Shakespeare's death, his reputation continued to grow. His plays were performed regularly throughout the 17th and 18th centuries, and he was praised by some of the most prominent literary critics of the time. By the 19th century,
    Shakespeare was firmly established as one of the greatest playwrights of all time.

    Today, Shakespeare is arguably the most famous and celebrated playwright in the world. His plays are performed all over the globe, and they continue to be studied and enjoyed by people of all ages.

    So, to answer your question, Shakespeare was not quite the superstar playwright that he is today in his own time, but he was still highly regarded by his contemporaries. His reputation continued to grow in the years following his death, and he is now
    considered to be one of the greatest playwrights of all time.

    Spookily human-like. But "His plays were performed regularly throughout the 17th and 18th centuries" is one point for real humans - tell that to Oliver Cromwell!
