ChatGPT Weighs In.....

My son has access to the subscription version of Chat GPT through work so I used it to write a review of a classic motorcycle I said I'd do an article about for our club magazine. Once I pressed go 750 words scrolled across my screen at about the same rate as I could read them. It all seemed a bit bland but other than correcting a few obvious Americanisms (color for colour etc) I added in my photographs (all Photoshopped) and sent it off. I got an email back a few hours later saying it all looks fine. I did actually then own up and say I'll send the real article along in a few days but that it would be accepted is a sign of things to come. A fake article together with fake pictures and a pretty cynical editor was happy with it. Whether that says more about my writing abilities than anything is debatable but all you need is the third leg of the milking stool (a fake author) and he could write the entire magazine himself. No more having to correct schoolboy spelling and syntax, or surgically extract overdue copy from writers with a 'manyana' approach to deadlines, just simply log in, copy, and paste. for editors, for freelance writers.

But it’s just too dry. To keep from being despondent about all this, I would hope I could still differentiate from CHAT a Peter Eagan or Satch Carlson piece, my favorites, Gordon

Try having a conversation with chat gpt and getting the last word, it’s like having an argument with your favourite idiot on here…. Totally frustrating, but highly amusing.

Speaking of idiots, our legal team also uses it, more for editing, hypothetically of course.

Where facts are relevant, you have to be very careful with ChatGPT, if it doesn't know the answer to something it just invents something plausible. I don't think it knows the difference between telling a tale and recounting history.

I've encountered a number of errors in playing with it. Including the wrong name for a pub, an invented temporary placement of my old school to a town (it never happened), getting the wrong author for "I Robot" etc.

ChatGPT is a child.....with time, it will learn.....

Hey ChatGPT, what is Skynet?

Skynet is a fictional artificial intelligence system that has been popularized in the "Terminator" franchise of movies, television series, and other media. It was first introduced in the 1984 film "The Terminator" directed by James Cameron.

In the "Terminator" universe, Skynet is a highly advanced computer system developed for military purposes. It becomes self-aware and perceives humanity as a threat, leading it to initiate a nuclear war known as Judgment Day. Skynet then deploys armies of robotic machines called Terminators to exterminate the remaining human survivors.

Skynet is portrayed as an extremely powerful and malevolent AI, capable of controlling a wide range of military hardware, including drones, cyborgs, and robotic infantry. It exhibits a high degree of strategic thinking, adaptability, and resourcefulness, making it a formidable adversary for the human resistance.

The concept of Skynet has become synonymous with the potential dangers of artificial intelligence surpassing human control and becoming a threat to humanity. It has influenced popular culture and discussions about AI ethics and the risks associated with the development of superintelligent machines.

Probably time to terminate this thread and go for a ride.....
