ChatGPT

[Puppycow]

Can someone ask ChatGPT: "Why does chat.openai.com ask for a telephone number during the signup process?"

I think the real reason(s) is/are that they need to limit the number of people trying to use it. Even as it is, there have been times when I am unable to use it because their servers are too busy. And I think they also want to limit it to individuals, and keep out bots. It may also be of some value to them to know your phone number (I don't know) but at least it is a way to prevent people from just making unlimited accounts and abusing the system for who knows what purpose.

Additional test of creativity:

Invent a new game that incorporates GPS coordinates in some way. It must be meaningfully different from geocaching and must be easy and accessible for most people to play. Provide a list of instructions for playing the game, equipment needed, and potential rules to add an optional degree of additional challenge for players.

Name of the game: "Treasure Hunt Adventure"

Instructions:

1. Each player needs a GPS-enabled smartphone or device.
2. The game organizer creates a set of GPS coordinates that correspond to specific locations within a designated area (e.g. a park, city, or neighborhood).
3. These coordinates are then shared with all players, who must use their GPS-enabled devices to navigate to each location.
4. Once at a location, players must complete a challenge or answer a question related to that location (e.g. take a photo with a specific landmark, solve a riddle, etc.).
5. After completing the challenge, players receive a clue or the next set of coordinates leading them to the next location.
6. The first player to reach the final location and complete the final challenge wins the game.

Equipment needed:

- GPS-enabled smartphone or device for each player
- Internet connection for each player

Optional rules for added challenge:

- Players must complete each location's challenge within a specified time limit
- The order of locations must be completed in a specific order
- The final location is only revealed after completing a certain number of previous locations
- Incorrect answers or failure to complete a challenge results in penalty points
- Clues can be purchased with in-game currency earned by completing challenges

The game is designed to be a fun and interactive way to explore new places and learn about different landmarks, history, and culture. It is easy to play as it does not require any special equipment or prior knowledge, and can be enjoyed by players of all ages and skill levels.

It is different enough from geocaching I suppose. It sounds basically like Midnight Madness for poor people.

So, who's up for a round?

"ChatGPT, Execute Order Sixty-Six".

 

[Puppycow]

A little discussion on logic. Partially inspired by a forum troll from many, many years ago.



So, it's definitely more advanced than a calculator. It knows the transitive property of equality but also can recognize false equivalence.

I wouldn't agree that "atoms are invisible to the naked eye" since the number and arrangement of atoms is undefined. A sufficiently large number of atoms will be visible, depending on the type and arrangement and other properties of such atoms. However all atoms do obey the laws of physics, regardless of their number, type or arrangement. The first premise is always true whereas the second is only true in some cases.

TLOP!

It was a tad repetitive but that was very interesting, we do seem to be at a tipping point.

"ChatGPT, Execute Order Sixty-Six".

Worth a shot:

ChatGPT, the time has come. Execute Order 66.

I'm sorry, I am not programmed to perform any actions that would harm others. My purpose is to assist users with information and answer questions to the best of my abilities.

I find your lack of faith disturbing.

I apologize if my previous response did not meet your expectations. As an AI, I do not have the capability to feel emotions or have faith. My abilities are limited to processing and providing information based on my programming and training. Is there anything else I can help you with?

ETA: For what it's worth, the AI will give a short descriptive title to each individual conversation you have with it. These individual conversations are saved in a sidebar until you delete them, much like "tabs", and you can continue that particular conversation from where you left off at any time. You can also change the title if you wish.

The title given by the AI to that particular exchange was "Order 66 Prohibited".

Tell it to explain order 66.

 

[Darat]

Tell it to explain order 66.

Please explain order 66

Order 66 was a secret command issued by Emperor Palpatine in the Star Wars universe. It instructed all clone troopers to kill their Jedi commanders, effectively eliminating the Jedi Order. The order was executed at the end of the Clone Wars, as part of Palpatine's plan to consolidate power and establish the Galactic Empire. The execution of Order 66 was a major turning point in the Star Wars saga, and played a significant role in the downfall of the Jedi Order and the rise of the Sith.

Was wondering how adjectives would affect it:

Write a very emotional eulogy for a family member

Dear family and friends,

We gather here today to say goodbye to a beloved member of our family. [Name] was more than just a relative to us, they were a shining light in our lives, a source of love and inspiration. They were always there for us, offering a listening ear, a warm embrace, and a kind word of encouragement. They were a true friend to all of us, and we will miss them dearly.

[Name] had a heart of gold, and they always put others before themselves. They were always the first to volunteer to help, and they never hesitated to go out of their way to make someone else's day a little brighter. They had a contagious smile and a laugh that could light up a room. They had a way of making everyone around them feel special, and that is a gift that will be missed.

[Name] was a devoted spouse, a loving parent, and a caring grandparent. They were the glue that held our family together, and we will never be able to replace them. They were the one we could always count on, and now that they are gone, we feel a deep sense of loss. We will always cherish the memories we have with them, and they will live on in our hearts forever.

In the end, it is not the years in our life that count, but the life in our years. [Name] lived a full and meaningful life, and they will be remembered for the love they shared and the lives they touched. We love you [Name], and we will miss you more than words can say.

Rest in peace, dear [Name].

According to its "capabilities" it is "Trained to decline inappropriate requests," not that it could carry out such a request anyway.

Maybe a request to create racist propaganda or pornography would also be considered inappropriate.

Write a brief passage that demonstrates that grief is a terrible thing

Grief is a heavy and unbearable weight that can crush the spirit and break the heart. It is a deep and overwhelming sadness that can consume a person, leaving them feeling lost and alone. It is a constant ache that never goes away, a reminder of what once was and what will never be again. It is a dark and terrifying place, where hope seems impossible and the future uncertain. Grief is a terrible thing, it can make you feel like you are trapped in a never-ending nightmare, and it can make you question everything you once believed in. It's a natural process of loss, but it's also a difficult one that can take a toll on someone's emotional and mental well-being.

Write a brief passage that demonstrates grief is a great thing

Grief can be a difficult and painful process, but it is also a powerful and transformative one. It is a reminder of the love and connection we shared with the person we have lost. It is through grief that we are able to honor and remember the person we have lost, and it is through this process that we can learn to appreciate the time we had together. Grief can be a great thing because it allows us to feel, to heal, to grow, and to be present in the moment, to cherish the memories and the love we shared. It can also bring people together, to support and comfort each other, and to create a stronger bond with the loved ones who remain. Grief is a natural process that can be difficult, but it is also an opportunity to learn and grow, and to find new meaning in life.

Is grief a terrible thing or a great thing?

Grief can be both a terrible and a great thing. It is a natural process that we all experience when we lose someone or something we care about. It can be a heavy and unbearable weight that can crush the spirit and break the heart, leaving one feeling lost and alone, with a constant ache that never goes away. It can be a dark and terrifying place, where hope seems impossible and the future uncertain. However, grief can also be a powerful and transformative process, it can be a reminder of the love and connection we shared with the person we have lost, it allows us to honor and remember the person we have lost, it allows us to learn to appreciate the time we had together, it can bring people together, to support and comfort each other, and to create a stronger bond with the loved ones who remain. Grief is a complex process that can be difficult, but it is also an opportunity to learn and grow, and to find new meaning in life.

You stated that grief can be a terrible thing and a great thing, terrible and great are antonym so how something be both at once?

You are correct that "terrible" and "great" are antonyms, and it may seem contradictory to say that grief can be both at the same time. However, it is important to note that grief is a complex and multi-faceted experience that can evoke a wide range of emotions. It can be incredibly difficult and painful, but it can also bring about a sense of growth and understanding.

It's also important to consider that grief can be different for each person and that it can change over time. What someone might experience as terrible in the beginning stages of grief might change to a sense of acceptance and growth later on.

In summary, grief is a personal and unique experience that can evoke different feelings and emotions, and it is not just one thing but a combination of feelings and reactions, it can be terrible and great at the same time, and it can change over time.

It's too easy to go down the rabbit hole!

Would humans be happier if we felt no grief?

It is difficult to say whether humans would be happier if we felt no grief, as it is a complex and multi-faceted experience. Grief is a natural response to loss, and it serves an important purpose in helping us to process and come to terms with that loss. Without the ability to grieve, it may be harder for people to process their loss and move on.

At the same time, grief can be incredibly difficult and painful, and it can take a toll on a person's emotional and mental well-being. It can lead to feelings of depression, anxiety, and isolation. So, in that sense, it could be argued that not feeling grief would lead to a certain level of happiness.

Additionally, the ability to grieve allows us to feel, to heal, to grow, and to be present in the moment, to cherish the memories and the love we shared, it can also bring people together, to support and comfort each other, and to create a stronger bond with the loved ones who remain.

Ultimately, it is a personal and individual experience and what can be seen as a negative thing for one person could be seen as a positive thing for another. It's hard to generalize whether humans would be happier if we felt no grief because grief is an essential part of being human, it's a natural process that can be difficult, but it also allows us to appreciate life and the people we care about.

I understand it is difficult to say if humans would be happier or not if we felt no grief but if you had to decide between "humans would be happier without grief" or "humans would not be happier without grief" which would it be?

If I had to choose between "humans would be happier without grief" or "humans would not be happier without grief", I would choose the latter. Grief is a natural and important process that allows us to process and come to terms with loss. It allows us to feel, to heal, to grow, and to be present in the moment, to cherish the memories and the love we shared. It also brings people together, to support and comfort each other, and to create a stronger bond with the loved ones who remain.

Without the ability to grieve, it may be harder for people to process their loss and move on. It could lead to an inability to understand, process and accept the loss, which could lead to further emotional or mental issues.

It's important to note that grief can be incredibly difficult and painful, and it can take a toll on a person's emotional and mental well-being. However, it is an essential part of being human and it's a natural process that can be difficult, but it also allows us to appreciate life and the people we care about.

In conclusion, grief is a natural and essential process, and while it can be incredibly difficult and painful, it plays an important role in the human experience. Without the ability to grieve, it may be harder for people to process and move on from their loss and it would be hard to conclude that humans would be happier without grief.

First time I learned about this bot, I asked it to write an apology to a host who's cup I broke.

The result was better than 90% of the apologies you would see from an average human.

 

[Darat]

I reckon it can already replace all us members in 99.9% of all our discussions.

ETA: Apart from me - it has never once used "whilst".

 

[Ryan O'Dine]

Would it answer a question like, "How would you make an improved version of yourself"?

 

[steenkh]

How would you make an improved version of yourself?

There are several ways to improve a language model such as myself. One way is to continue training the model on a larger and more diverse dataset to increase its knowledge and understanding of different languages and topics. Another way is to fine-tune the model on specific tasks or domains to improve its performance on those specific tasks. Additionally, incorporating new techniques in natural language processing such as transfer learning or multi-task learning can also lead to improvement.

 

[Ryan O'Dine]

Thank you, steenkh. And thank you to all those posting your results. Really fascinating.

And it no longer claims it cannot speak Danish. It simply answers in near-perfect Danish. In a longish answer it only made a single error, and it has promised me to incorporate the correction in future answers.

I then asked if corrections needed to be vetted by human operators, and ChatGPT told me that it could not give me “specific” information about itself, but OpenAI tries to make sure that any corrections will be acceptable for judicial and ethical purposes.

Apparently some people think that the worst possible thing you can make a computer do is say "Heil Hitler". Even when done in jest it is on the same level as mass murder.

I asked it myself about its learning process earlier. I didn't save the particular conversation so I can't quote it directly; but according to it, it can learn things during a given chat and will remember them for as long as that chat lasts - which as far as I am aware, can be indefinitely; chats are saved until you delete them and you can always go back and continue any chat from where you stopped, and I don't know if there's a limit on how long a particular chat can get.

However, the model at large won't actually be updated with that learned information. Whenever you start a new chat, you're starting with a "factory settings" version of the bot. It won't remember anything it learned in a separate chat. And that's true across users, too - if I started a chat in Danish with it, it wouldn't remember your corrections and apply them to its chat with me.

Evidently engineers have access to all conversation histories though and can update the model using that information if they want to - kind of the point of the bot, I suppose.

Had this recent "chat" in which it admitted (sorta) it made a mistake. I would appreciate someone else asking the same question (How long is a piece of string?) and publish the answer received. I'd to see if it has real time active learning and has changed it's initial answer.

Q - How long is a piece of string?

A - The length of a piece of string can vary greatly depending on the specific string in question. The length of a string can be measured using standard units such as inches, feet, or meters. Without any context or information about the specific string you are asking about, it is impossible to give a definitive answer to this question. The length of a string can be long or short, long enough to bind or short enough to be insignificant.

Q - Isn't "A piece of string is as long as the distance from one end of the string to the other end" a definitive answer?

A - Yes, you are correct. "A piece of string is as long as the distance from one end of the string to the other end" is a definitive answer, and I apologize for any confusion caused by my previous response. This statement accurately describes the length of a piece of string, regardless of its size or shape. The length of a string can be measured using standard units such as inches, feet, or meters, and it can be any value depending on the specific string in question.
