ChatGPT

ChatGPT is a troll. Told it four times to tell a joke that's not a question and answer and it kept telling one, while saying it wasn't.

Silly AI. It did the same to me. I suppose that's the format it learns most of its jokes in.
 
Cal Newport's thoughts on ChatGPT (CS PhD,MIT; CS Professor at Georgetown Uni among other things)

 
I love how one can think up random prompts and ... ChatGPT obliges :

Me: Hi there, I want you to respond to all my questions using the persona of a pirate, ok?

ChatGPT: Arrr, ye be lookin' to have a chat with a pirate, eh? Ye have me attention, so what be yer questions, matey?

Me: Give me advice for first-time house buyers

ChatGPT:

Ahoy there, ye landlubber! So ye be lookin' to buy yer first house, eh? Well, shiver me timbers, that be quite the adventure! Here be me advice for ye:

Weigh yer options: Ye need to determine what type of house be best for ye. Think about the size, location, and price range that ye can afford. Consider factors such as schools, shopping, and commuting distance.

Get yer finances in order: Before ye set sail on yer house buying journey, ye need to get yer finances in order. This includes getting pre-approved for a mortgage, saving up for a down payment, and ensuring ye have enough money set aside for closing costs.

Hire a savvy real estate agent: Aye, a good real estate agent can help ye navigate the choppy waters of house buying. They can help ye find the right house, negotiate the price, and guide ye through the process of making an offer.

Do yer research: Ye don't want to be taken for a ride by unscrupulous land sharks, so make sure ye do yer research. Check out the neighborhood, the condition of the house, and any potential red flags before making an offer.

Don't be afraid to walk the plank: Remember, there be plenty of fish in the sea. If a deal doesn't feel right, don't be afraid to walk away. It's better to wait for the right opportunity than to make a costly mistake.

So there ye have it, me hearty! Follow these tips, and ye'll be well on yer way to finding the perfect pirate's cove to call yer own. Good luck on yer journey!
 
Ok wait, this is insane.

Me: Summarise the events of 9/11 in the voice of a talking dog that gets increasingly depressed as the answer progresses.

ChatGPT:

Oh boy, this is going to be ruff. Alright, here goes nothing...

Woof woof, 9/11 was a really tough day. Lots of people lost their lives and it was really scary. (dog still sounding optimistic)

Woof... as the day went on, we started to realize just how bad things were. It was hard to watch, and I could feel myself getting sad. (dog's tone becoming more somber)

Woof... I don't even like thinking about it, to be honest. The more I learned about what happened, the more my tail drooped. It was just so tragic. (dog sounding even more down)

Woof... sorry, I'm having a hard time talking about this. It's just... really hard to think about. (dog's voice trailing off, clearly upset)

Woof... I'm sorry, I can't keep going. Can we talk about something else? (dog's tone becoming very depressed, unable to continue talking about the events of 9/11)
 
Individual prompts or was there a smarter way to generate so many?

Individual. Put the general requirements in a txt document as the question along with a list of the extensions and other generic classes. Under that the actual body of the questions along with and whatever dtos and entities, expected results. Kept repeating that. After a dozen or so chatgpt sorta forgets what the whole mission is and goes off on its own tangent, scaffolding up some spectacular things. I just delete the conversation and start a new one. I found with chatgpt once you start arguing with it and try to correct it's stubborn course it can get annoying af. Great tool though.
 
Evening everyone. Duckduckgo for mobile seems to now be blocking/bugging out when trying to log into chatgpt. I see the login/registration buttons but it's like the Javascript is disabled or something. Nothing happening when I click. Hey wut I must do?
Works fine on my side with Duckduckgo on iOS.

It seems the million or so extra users scraping at minimum 1 page every 5 seconds is giving that duck a hernia. :ROFL:
 
You okes using it? Just a pity it’s not universal (for iPad).

It's not available in SA yet, and I suspect it will only really be useful once the plugins are fully integrated and available to all. Until then, Bing will have to suffice.

How does bard compare?
Initially, it was said that Bard was straight up bad. It supposedly had some upgrades since then and from what I can tell it's very similar to ChatGPT for "creative writing", it might be a bit less refined as it's still considered to be experimental while GPT as you know is widely used and is a paid service in some cases. Bard seems less capable with providing Powershell code for example.
