ChatGPT replied
The Shakespeare authorship question is a topic of debate among scholars and enthusiasts, and there is no consensus on the answer. The traditional view is that William Shakespeare of Stratford-upon-Avon was the sole author of the plays and poems attributed to him. However, some individuals and groups have proposed alternative theories that suggest other individuals or groups wrote the works attributed to Shakespeare. These theories are not widely accepted by the academic community, and most scholars believe that William Shakespeare was indeed the author of the plays and poems attributed to him.
True enough--except for the phrase "William Shakespeare of Stratford-upon-Avon". William went by the family name Shakspere.
He did not become Shakespeare until the publication of the first book of Complete Plays (known as the "First Folio") in 1623--seven years after William's death, which went unnoticed by the London theater crowd and the community of poets.
