    ChatGPT

    Is this a decent summary of what it is and what it can do?

    It's suddenly become huge in education.

    More and more it reminding me of the Jurassic Park line "Your scientists were so preoccupied with whether they could, they didn't stop to think if they should".

      That looks like a decent piece, although it's hardly my subject.

      I had a 'conversation' with it the other night. It was interesting how easy it was to spot bot behaviour from it. Could have just been the subject matter I suppose.

        That article seems fair to me, though I am, of course, totally pessimistic that governments and bureaucrats will see and act on the benefits mentioned, and focus on trying to preserve what they understand education to mean (viz: the memorisation of facts)

          To me, there is an analogy with "self-driving". Lane assist, cruise control, distance control, even auto-parking are all perfectly fine and normal, but calling them "self-driving" would be a step too far.

          ChatGPT seems to be giving a million monkeys a million typewriters a million times and presenting something that seems like one of them can write Shakespeare.

          Edit: What it is, is a phenomenally convincing search engine.

            Working a lot with the future of AI at times, amazed it took so long for something like this to become a 'thing'.

              Wasn't sure whether this went here, WTF or LOLZ from the internet. Apple's AI chatbot enables you to chat with historical figures. Apparently.

              The results are interesting.

              "Goebbels" and "Ford" defend themselves against allegations of aniti-semitism, "Ho Chi Min" had "a great deal of respect for Lyndon Johnson," and "Reagan" "took AIDS seriously."

                  Is that official?

                  It was widely assumed, but I haven't seen an announcement (I also thought they would charge for it).

                  It would cause havoc in education, given that there are already a number of institutions that require Word and ban Chat GPT.

                            This could be the thing that makes Bing worth a damn, but it sounds a fucking nightmare in corporate 365 environments, unless you can turn it off at admin level.

                              Did Roy Keane really injure Alf Haaland?

                              Yes, in a 2001 match between Manchester United and Manchester City, Roy Keane injured Alf-Inge Haaland, who played for Manchester City. Keane was shown a red card for the tackle and later admitted in his autobiography that he had intended to hurt Haaland, as he felt Haaland had been trying to make him look foolish in an earlier match. The injury ended Haaland's career.

                              That's a lie, the injury did not end Haaland's career. He played a few days later.

                              I apologize for any confusion. You are correct that the injury did not end Haaland's career, in fact he played a few days later. However, the injury was severe enough that it required Haaland to take a long break from football and he retired from football three years later.

                              The injury was from before the Keane tackle, and was to the other leg.

                              I apologize for any inaccuracies in my previous responses. You are correct that the injury Alf-Inge Haaland sustained before the tackle by Roy Keane, it was to the other leg and not as a result of the tackle. The tackle by Roy Keane was a violent one and led to a red card, however it did not cause an injury to Haaland. I apologize for any confusion caused by my earlier responses.

                                    • Netherlands vs. Italy
                                    West Germany went on to win the tournament by defeating the Netherlands in the final with a score of 2-1.

                                    -----

                                    The 1988 UEFA European Football Championship, commonly referred to as Euro 88, was won by the national football team of the Federal Republic of Germany.

The final score was 3-1 in favor of West Germany, with goals from Andreas Brehme, Lothar Matthäus and Olaf Thon. This was their third European championship victory. This was the last tournament with 8 teams only, the next tournament had already 12 teams.

                                    -----

                                    How many football championships has the Dutch national football team won?

                                    The Dutch national football team, also known as the Netherlands national team, has never won the FIFA World Cup, but they did reach the final three times in 1974, 1978 and 2010, and finished as runners-up in all of those tournaments. The Dutch team won the UEFA European Football Championship once in 1988.

                                      Name all the Dutch players who played for FC Barcelona while Johan Cruijff was manager.

                                      ----


                                      During Johan Cruyff's tenure as coach of FC Barcelona between 1988 and 1996, he brought in several Dutch players to the team. Here is a list of all Dutch players who played for FC Barcelona while Johan Cruyff was manager:
                                      -Frank Rijkaard
                                      -Ronald Koeman
                                      -Richard Witschge

                                      -Michael Laudrup

                                      Please note that Gheorghe Hagi wasn't a Dutch player, He was a Romanian player.

                                      ----

                                      Tell me more about the football player Hendrikus (Henny) Westerhof.

                                          I've found Chat GPT very disappointing as a toy, in that it has completely failed to deliver for me what folk on social media have claimed for it. In particular, someone on Twitter reported that it had composed a play scene *in the style of Shakespeare* on a current social issue, namely a bunch of desperate refugees being turned away from the shores of Britain by Suella Braverman. It was indeed an impressive work as presented in the tweets. But whenever I've asked it to compose a piece in the style of a particular famous writer about some recent event (NB not too recent, I've noted the caveat about ignorance of post-2020 events in its data sources) it has responded with some kind of error message. In fact, the only positive response I've had to any request to ChatGPT was when, for control purposes, I asked it to define a triangle. It did that sort of fine (well, it would have been marked down in a maths exam for the addition of the superfluous (and, in non-planar geometry, incorrect) statement that the angles add up to 180 degrees), but, you know, that doesn't get it a prize.

                                              The Bing AI engine gets involved in an argument, insisting that it is currently 2022. I suspect not backing down in the face of all the evidence is a very human trait and possibly enough to pass the turing test

                                                  There was a fantastic article which explained the problem with the current idea of AI in the New Yorker of all places.

                                                  https://www.newyorker.com/tech/annal...peg-of-the-web

                                                  The analogy between the AI model and a JPEG was one of those "why didn't I think of that?" moments.
