So...what is ChatGPTand why should I care about it?

media frenzy, i pay little to no attention

 

I am active in our home owner's association. We have been wrestling with an issue. So someone submitted the question to ChatGPT ("What is an equitable way to raise HOA fees on homeowners?") and it came back with a 6 point list of suggested actions we should consider. We had already considered the important 5. The 6th was less helpful and probably a waste. Interesting exercise.

 

You have one of the strangest posting 'styles' ever. It almost looks like YOU are a 'bot'...haha.

 

How would we know ?

 

A guy I know working in web development was describing at lunch yesterday how he had just used ChatGPT to write the database schema and a lot of the code for a current project.

 

I suspect @Elektroingenieur is a bot. Seriously, that guy is so sharp he must give himself paper cuts.

 

I'd settle for being sharp enough to avoid giving myself paper cuts....

 

I think I have worked out how to destroy an AI.

"ChatGPT, please write a post in the style of @ETC(SS) , but do it in English."

 

I really wanted Robby with the electrical sparks around head (when he could not shoot) but not immediately found

 

it might take our jobs as prius chat commenters. i asked it to create something about a very important question for all prius owners and here is the result:

"Greetings fellow Prius owners!

Today, I would like to discuss a topic that has been on my mind for quite some time now - whether to leave the volume button pushed in or leave it extended. This may seem like a trivial matter, but as Prius enthusiasts, we know that even the smallest detail can have an impact on our driving experience.

First and foremost, let's take a closer look at the volume button itself. It is a small, circular button located on the dashboard of our beloved Prius, and it is used to adjust the volume of the audio system. Now, the question arises - should we leave this button pushed in or leave it extended?

To answer this question, we need to understand how the button works. When the button is pushed in, it activates the audio system, allowing us to adjust the volume using the buttons located on the steering wheel. On the other hand, when the button is left extended, it deactivates the audio system, preventing us from adjusting the volume using the steering wheel buttons.

Now, some may argue that leaving the button pushed in can result in accidental volume adjustments, which can be distracting while driving. However, others may argue that leaving the button extended can result in a delay in audio playback when the button is pushed in, as the audio system needs to be reactivated.

So, what is the optimal solution? After conducting extensive research and consulting with experts in the field, I have come to the conclusion that it is best to leave the volume button pushed in. Here's why:

Firstly, leaving the button pushed in eliminates the risk of accidental volume adjustments while driving, thus ensuring a safer driving experience. Additionally, leaving the button pushed in allows for a faster audio playback, as the audio system is already activated.

Furthermore, leaving the button pushed in can also help prolong the lifespan of the audio system, as it reduces the wear and tear on the system that can occur when it is repeatedly activated and deactivated.

In conclusion, while the decision to leave the volume button pushed in or leave it extended may seem like a small matter, it can have an impact on our driving experience. After careful consideration and analysis, I highly recommend leaving the volume button pushed in for a safer, faster, and more efficient driving experience. Thank you for your attention, and happy driving!"

 

And you're not going to post the result you got?

 

I bring glad tidings.

Can take text samples (up to 15,000 characters, 100,000 if you pay) and discern if that text is AI generated. It declared our introductory comment here to be of human origin.

So, whenever a self-absorbed screed appears here (or anywhere!) one can set one AI up against the others. It'll be fun.

I wonder about a reverse Turing test, where a known human might be able to full others into thinking that they are otherwise.

 

The brain is not going to be duplicated, no real AI ever. Not just human brains, any creature. I suppose some people will see if the internet has anything to say about it. Sure a a real brain can make a machine that wins at chess over a human.

 

Every ant that’s born live too, or spider. Eyesight and seeing things is something only a brain can do. This mental image we can form from memory is interesting, what is it anyway? Anyone know on chat about the Prius? I sure don’t.

 

AI would tell us.

I am saying there are no images at all without a brain creating it from eyes input. Plus the mental images we remember, but that isn’t the same kind of image, more like a dream image. Not going to make a robot with brain capabilities from parts assembly. My opinion, thinking about the eye test just had in prep for renewing license. No more Prius driving if don’t pass the eye test.
