OpenAI ChatGPT has some interesting insights about audio

I had a copy of ELIZA for my Commodore computer. IIRC I later ported it to the PC. It might have been a "simplified version" and that was before the Internet and it didn't have any ability to adapt or "learn". It could be fun at first and then it would go-around in circles. Somebody I worked with discovered that it could recoginze certain 4-letter words and it would respond with something like, "I'm not used to such language".

I showed it to my dad and he said "I'm going to beat this thing"... I'm not sure what he meant by "beating it". :D

there was Dr. Sbaitso for Amiga, too
 
At the current time, I am sticking to what our thermodynamics professor kept insisting in class:
"If I wanted the correct answer; students would be the last people I would ever ask... just define the process."
If you combine the above with ChatBots, while pretending they have opinions and butts; we should all be okay staying skeptics about the technology.

Recent WSJ article (2023/04/12) adds to my suspicious nature of the AI trajectory:
"The 25 Questions You Need to Ask Yourself Now That ChatGPT Is Here - Artificial intelligence raises all sorts of issues that we’re only beginning to address."
Elon Musk's interview with FoxNews (2023/04/17-18) further aggravates fundamental and core issues with AI.

I'd be ashamed to post (or read posted) anything [anything] sourced from ChatGPT, Bard, etc.:facepalm:
 
you know those people that aren't really old, but have to ask someones help for everything they want to do on their own smartphone? don't be that guy....the sooner you adopt new tecnology the easier your life will be

Get off my lawn!

Ol' unctuous Elon's startin' his own AI company (again), it seems.
 
"They sure don't make them like they used to!"
There is a wee-bit difference between a skeptic and a denier.
It is an amazing tech that has been w/us for some time, but exponential.... errrr.... explosion in just recent-pass makes AI interesting, fun, but also dangerous.
We can bash Elon Musk or we can be skeptic but don't be a Musk-denier.
After all, Musk is the first person publicly admitting to be into speciesism, rather in the belief of a development of an artificial Deity!
 
they need to be more discriminatory in their training sets by using data from verifiable sites rather than vacuuming up all the lint that floats around.
IMO they should focus on giving these models some way to sort fact from BS, but first they'll have to stop it from making things up out of whole cloth. We will never find ourselves in a scenario where there's a large body of information that's all known to be accurate. Even in university libraries, some of the books will be out of date or contradictory on certain subjects.

Not even close, he's just the most famous person to do so recently.

This is maybe what is most annoying about Musk. By virtue of being extremely rich and an incurable loudmouth, he gets credit for being the first to do / say / invent things when he wasn't even within decades of being first. Then he gets the adulation of people who are even more ignorant than he is for being "a genius".

Your negative sentiment about the person should not discredit him w/o specifics you allude to.
I may not be a fan-boy but I give him due credit (much) for being a technological interrupter and in many ways, for the better!
ADD: I will gloss-over ignore your name calling me!
 
specifics you allude to.

this one is special, revealing pointed ignorance about his own employee and contractual obligations:


And not ignorant per se, but astoundingly hypocritical:


But, I won't claim any credit for breaking new ground on the flaws of this man, they're well documented around the web.

I apologize for consuming your post-time [30+minutes?] with 10+ citations.
Unfortunately, it fell on deaf-ears and I did not read one single reference.
I could have simply read tabloid-material character-assassinations, smack-talk and thrash journalism and saving you the trouble.

... or I could have simply asked a ChatBot to summarize Elon Musk character flaws.. but I didn't.:cool:
I have no OCD in such matters, and don't care much about meddling in personal character flaws of others.
As with TDS?
Thank you.
 
Not sure this fits here but I think so. No one has mentioned about the AI generated fake Drake/Weeknd song

Hence "ignorant" I guess. :)

But at least it's a conscious choice.

In that spirit, I'll go back to ignoring your posts now. :p

Well, you said it yourself, you adulate him. Best case I was hoping you might reassess his status as someone to admire, worst case, I guess this reply.

I should note that I used to esteem him highly, too. I considered him "the real life tony stark" and had high hopes for what he might accomplish in the interest of the human race. Big stuff. But over time I had to face facts. Whatever his talents might be, I don't know first hand, but I have seen him do and say idiotic things, in public, with remarkable consistency.

Sadly, only children get to believe in Santa Claus...

These aren't "character assassinations" so much as direct quotes of things he's said of his own volition. Oh, well one of them was his own brother calling him ignorant about the fact that bitcoin uses a lot of electricity, which is obvious to anyone who knows how bitcoin works at even a superficial level.

I spent about 5 min compiling it because all I had to do was google "the ignorance of Elon Musk" and there was a lot of material to work with.

Hmm... might be fun to ask ChatGPT about it (especially since Elon has a history with ChatGPT's creators). ;)

If there's anything we have learned from science fiction, it's that monsters always turn on their creators!
