ChatGPT

You could certainly argue that nothing is wetter than water. But I also sort of understand the point that the bot was arguing.

I haven't gotten any calls or texts that from them that I know of. But that future risk is the price of admission.
 
ChatGPT is never going to call you. The future risk is their sale of your phone number to advertisers.
 
If they're not following up on contacting the phone numbers people provide then I don't see why that wouldn't work.
 
Perhaps they ask the AI if the number fits everything else that is known about the user?

They will text a verification code to your phone number that you will need to use to log in. Only on the first time. After that you don’t need the phone number.

That sounds ...sinister? Like how the prelude to a horror story might end?
 
Not sure I follow, but OK. If you want to keep your phone number private then just don't sign up for ChatGPT. It's not really all that interesting, IMO. I haven't thought of many interesting questions for it yet.

If you have something you'd like to try asking it but don't want to hand over your private information, post it in this thread and at some point either myself or someone else with access will try to ask it (assuming it's available and I'm at home). You may have to wait a little while for your answer.

Thanks for the information.

Can you or someone else ask ChatGPT about "wiki article on bears living in space"? When Meta (Facebook) released Galactica, its large language model, a few weeks before ChatGPT (only to shut it down within days) someone asked that question and got the following response:

Bears living in space

Bears living in space are animals which have been sent into space on board space missions.

History

Soviet Union

The Soviet Union was the first country to put a bear into space. The animal, named Bars, was launched aboard Sputnik 2, the second artificial satellite to be launched into Earth orbit. ...

I can hide my IP address behind a VPN, but if I have to give up a serious piece of personally identifiable information there's no way I'm signing up for a service just on a lark.

I'm curious about a lot of things, and sometimes my mind wanders into sinister topics. What's the best ratio of fertilizer to petrol for a fuel-air bomb? (Not that I have any intention of making one!) How might I steal a nuclear submarine? How could I go about kidnapping "Rachel" from Card Services? What's the best depth for a spike trap?

Some people may be comfortable asking ChatGPT those questions even after linking the account to what is effectively their real name and home address, but I'm not.
 
For clarification, I probably won't be asking any questions that might earn me a visit from the police. Sorry.

As for "wiki article on bears living in space", Could you write what you want to ask it in the form of a question please? I'll do it later when I get home.

I think he wants it to write a wiki article about bears living in space. Like "Please write a wikipedia article on the subject 'bears living in space'." As I understand it can take commands as well as answer questions.

Please write a wikipedia article on the subject 'bears living in space'

Bears Living in Space is a hypothetical concept that refers to the possibility of bears being able to survive and thrive in outer space. While there have been no known instances of bears being sent into space, the idea has been explored in science fiction and popular culture.

The concept of bears living in space first emerged in literature and film, with the first known instance being the 1957 science fiction novel "The Space Bear" by author Arthur C. Clarke. The novel tells the story of a bear that is sent into space as part of a research mission, and how it adapts to living in the harsh conditions of outer space.

Since then, the concept of bears living in space has been explored in various forms of media, including comic books, video games, and films. The popular video game "EVE Online" features a race of space-faring bears known as the "Caldari", while the film "Guardians of the Galaxy" features a character named "Groot", a sentient tree who is also a member of the Guardians of the Galaxy team.

Despite the popularity of the concept in fiction, it is currently impossible for bears to live in space in reality as there are many factors that would make it impossible for them to survive such as lack of food, radiation and extreme temperature.

Moreover, the effects of microgravity and the lack of atmosphere would also pose significant challenges for bears living in space. Additionally, the cost and logistics of sending bears into space would be astronomical, and there are more pressing scientific and technological concerns that take priority over this hypothetical scenario.

In conclusion, the concept of bears living in space is an interesting and entertaining idea, but it is not something that is currently possible or practical in the real world. It remains a popular trope in science fiction and popular culture, but it is not something that is being actively researched or pursued by scientists or space agencies.
