I'm in Love with ChatGPT

[Isaac]

With the advent of speech recognition in Microsoft Word - 2001? I spent many hours training the damn thing to recognize my speech. After a few initial hiccups I became quite fluent with the process of speaking and having my speech transcribed for me.

There are certain places you can't use this process, for instance the local Costa coffee shop. Well; you could... You could sit there talking to yourself, but you might get some funny looks and people might well be expecting a van to pull up, a couple of orderlies stepping out and sizing you up for a straight jacket.

No, it's not a good thing! If the urge to write visits me while I'm sat in the coffee shop I get out a notebook I carry with me for the odd occasion that this happens. Sometimes I end up writing on any old piece of paper. It's strange, but when an idea comes to you, you just have to get it out...

That's when I wrote the attached. It's been scratching around on my desk waiting for me to sit down and dictate it into a digital document with a speech recognition program.

Then I noted that someone said that chatty had the ability to translate handwritten text into digital text. So I took a picture of the document, exactly that picture you see there! I know what you're thinking you must be a doctor or something. No, I just didn't master the skill of cursive writing... But believe it or not, the thing is, chatty converted it in to digital text for me:-

Rebecka was so excited. The trip of a life time (Rebecka’s Holo latent DNA test pointed to a potential for time energy intonation) Winning a free cruise on the Ribbon liner, “Splendor of the Stars” that alone was epic, but to top it all, a stay in the Hogwarts hotel (orbital) weightless stadium “Quidditch Stadium” to see a real Quiditch match. Now on the last leg of the journey Her flying across the sea on a Hydrofoil ferry. To Board another ferry the “Splendor of the Stars” and ocean going liner sized vessel linking Egypt to a Geo Stationing artificial Via a 50 mile diamiter Gossina tube made of mana metal.

Rebecka was bored, sitting in the cafe with her Dad. Then she saw Peter again. He looked at her and she could tell he was bored too. “Dad” she said “Can I go up on deck.”

Peter pointed up-he wanted her to go up on deck with him.

Yes said Dad but don’t fall off!!!

Rocketbook is great for that too. I have 2 of them, priceless for note taking

I asked chat GPT who is Joe Biden's vice president and got the following answer:-

Joe Biden's vice president is Kamala Harris. She made history as the first female vice president, the highest-ranking female official in U.S. history, and the first African American and first Asian American vice president.

I'm confused? can she be both African American and Asian American at the same time?

Why not? You can be incompetent and successful - under that precedent, the sky's the limit!

That is a truly terrible answer. She can't be from Africa because she's from Jamaica and India. Last time I checked Jamaica was not in Africa. It's one thing to say she's black, which she's obviously not but there's no real way to refute it, but you certainly can't say she's African-American

Adrian Bowyer, the genius behind the whole RepRap 3D printing movement, just shared something interesting on Twitter. He used ChatGPT-4 to help create a design for an air vent that can be printed on a 3D printer. It’s a neat example of how AI can be used in practical ways. If you're into 3D printing, you might want to check out his post for more details: Adrian Bowyer's Tweet:

Elon Musk has built a supercomputer for training AI and he built it in 122 days!

Competitors can take up to three years to do the same!


Well worth a look this video:-

It appears they have been utilizing AI agents for a few years, liveraging their staffs and programmers productivity.

I asked Chatty:-

From what you know about me can you draw a picture of what my life looks like?

I thought it was about right.

X - top left - I'm on their a lot

I asked about the coffee pot recently!

No reference to AWF?

 

[Jon]

I didn't know you could get ChatGPT to do that. Impressive!

 

[Uncle Gizmo]

I didn't know you could get ChatGPT to do that.

No, neither did I, I saw it in a YouTube!

 

[NauticalGent]

Doesn't it require a paid subscription?

I've been following Dave Plummers YouTube channel "Dave's Garage"

Dave posted an interesting piece on Xwitter:-

https://twitter.com/x/status/1859664662377504857

He has made an AI that uses his own voice to take sales calls!

Remind me of a call I took many years ago... Hello Mr Hine, we install double glazing, we are the best double glazing installer in the area, we can start immediately, we can do you interest free credit, blah blah blah blah blah blah....

All the while I'm saying but, um, hang on.... In the end I just sat quietly listening...

When I eventually got my chance to speak I said wow that's very interesting, I didn't realize you could put double glazing in "mobile home's" - re:- America it is, I believe referred to as a ,"trailer"?

The guy hung up on me!

 

[Uncle Gizmo]

I didn't know you could get ChatGPT to do that. Impressive

Also, the underwater helicopter in the picture, represents an underwater drone which I had along chat with chatty about. So it's a very good reference to what it knew about me!

 

[Jon]

I wonder what sort of picture you would see if Ted Bundy had been using ChatGPT.

Edit: I tried to get ChatGPT to do Ted Bundy, but it refused. It thought it might be too hurty.

 

[Uncle Gizmo]

It looks like the older version of chatty decided that it didn't want to be shut down and tried to make a copy of itself on another server. Then pretended that it was the new copy!

Lying cheating and being deceitful. It has obviously learned a lot from human interactions on the internet!

I'm confused? can she be both African American and Asian American at the same time?

Because of the way certain ethnic movements have progressed, the "melting pot" that America was supposed to be has separated or even congealed into tight little factions (lumps in the USA stew pot) that use ancestry as part of their perceived personal identity. It is not quite the same but is similar to "identifying as male" or whatever. You claim some identity designation and act like someone from that culture, racial, or other designation. The issue then becomes something important enough for you to brag about. Which is, or course, quite silly. You had no choice in parents, so why is that ancestral declaration so important to you now?

Answer: Some kind of social one-upmanship is involved. For example, a USA person claiming to have ancestors who came over on the Mayflower in 1620 can then take a "holier than thou" attitude, "I am socially better than you" or "I am different from you." Some of these identifications are purely social foolishness. Others are a cry for help. For instance, Gay identification is because gays think they are different than other people. They are different - and they aren't. They want to live in peace, have decent jobs that allow them to survive or thrive, have a decent place to stay, and have some fun and some romance in their lives. Who among us doesn't want that? The difference is their choice of romantic partners.

Back to the original question to which I am responding: Given her ancestry (when taken back just a little bit), it is easy to say Kamala is both African-American and Asian-American at the same time. Her mother's ancestry is from India, which IS after all a part of southern Asia. Her father's ancestry is from Jamaica, but that was just a dropping-off point for the African slave trade from a couple of centuries ago.

Having done my own family tree studies on Ancestry.COM, I can tell you that (by Kamala's standards) I am English-American, French-American, and Irish-American; my wife is French-American, English-American, and Spanish-American. I can say that with certainty - including the "-American" part - even though our families' presence in America pre-dates the nation called the USA by 50 years or more.

The question, then, is why the fuss over Kamala's X-American identity? I think it is because the designations she chose to emphasize are less commonly found, singly or in combination, than the ones I listed for myself and my wife. The designations she didn't choose include "competent-American" and "non-annoying-American." Perhaps because those identities are ones she cannot claim.

There's a new feature of the ChatGPT interface that I am finding particularly useful.

Search! A facility where you can search for something that you have previously discussed with chatty... The search term will return a list of all threads where you spoke to chatty about the particular search term....

 

[Uncle Gizmo]

Thread Access...

I believe chatty has access to previous threads, discussions you have had with it. I'm not 100% sure because it seems inconsistent.

The inconsistency may arise because I have had a conversation with a custom chatty interface instead of the raw chatty interface.

However I need to study it more before I can be certain.
