Discover how ChatGPT-3.5 inspired the creation of a new metaheuristic algorithm, the Zoological Search Optimization (ZSO), for tackling continuous optimization problems, leveraging the CRISPE framework for prompt design.

• ZSO algorithm inspired by animal collective behaviors
• Utilizes prey-predator interaction and social flocking operators
• Balances exploration and exploitation
• CRISPE framework for designing prompts
• Comparative performance analysis with CEC2014 and CEC2022 benchmark functions
