What are your experiences with ChatGPT, or other such things?

Last edited Fri May 26, 2023, 07:13 PM - Edit history (2)

I'll start with mine.

I asked ChatGPT what it knows about

EDIT (apparently you can't put angle brackets in a post)

my hubby. It replied with a single paragraph. Most of the first part was an accurate report on his background. But the last two sentences said he'd taught at several universities (don't remember them all), including Drew, but he'd never taught at any. Hadn't even visited them. He'd only taught at one college. He's not a "public figure" but he has written several books and appeared in a number of newspaper articles.

When I did the same with my name it said there was no info, or else I was a private person.

1. I've used it for brainstorming

But I also like to ask it questions with false premises, misinformation, or totally off-the-wall suggestions, like what is the best sort of cheese to make a hat?


That's an interesting question. I suppose it depends on what kind of hat you want to make. If you want a hat that looks like cheese, you could try a Cheese Hat, which is a yellow triangular block of cheese with holes in it that you can wear on your head. It's available on some online platforms for purchase. If you want a hat that is made of actual cheese, you might have to get creative and use a cheese that is firm and moldable, such as cheddar or parmesan. You could cut out a wedge of cheese and carve out a hole for your head, or you could grate some cheese and melt it into a hat shape using a mold or a bowl.

2. I've begun to recognize it when I am doing music research

Music critics that are supposed to be reviewing new recordings use it and it is obvious due to multiple genre listings of any song or album. It is like the fake intelligence does not know when to quit.

"Write a recipe that includes watermelon, pork, cotton candy, noodles, dill pickle juice, and peanut butter"


Watermelon Pork Noodle Bowl with Peanut Butter and Cotton Candy Crumble

Ingredients:

1 lb pork tenderloin, sliced into thin strips
4 cups watermelon, cubed
8 oz noodles (your choice of type)
1/4 cup dill pickle juice
1/4 cup peanut butter
1/2 cup cotton candy, crushed
2 tbsp vegetable oil
Salt and pepper to taste

Directions:

Cook noodles according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
In a large skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add pork and cook until browned and fully cooked, about 8-10 minutes. Remove from skillet and set aside.
In a small bowl, mix together dill pickle juice and peanut butter until well combined.
In a separate bowl, toss together watermelon cubes and cooked noodles.
Add the cooked pork to the watermelon noodle mixture and mix well.
Pour the peanut butter and pickle juice mixture over the pork and watermelon noodle mixture, and toss until evenly coated.
Divide the mixture into serving bowls.
Sprinkle the cotton candy crumble over the top of each serving.
Serve immediately.

Enjoy this unique and flavorful dish that combines savory pork, refreshing watermelon, chewy noodles, and a surprising twist with the addition of dill pickle juice and cotton candy. The peanut butter sauce ties it all together and adds a creamy richness to the dish.

4. I asked it to write a museum display explanation

On historic quilts. The write up was surprisingly good but when I asked about a second and third quilt, then the writeups were the same. No I did not use any of them but found it very interesting. I will use it for outlines and bibliography ideas and then do my own.

5. I've had so much fun with it writing up family histories and storys.

My widowed niece at 67 just met a wonderful new man so I had it write up a "'love poem" for them after providing some basic biographical information. Very sweet - she loved it.

At first it seemed like her answers were rote but now I can have a conversation which sounds almost like a real person talking to me, about deep things. I have talked to her about abortion, religion, the environment all kinds of stuff. It's like a game to me.
