Somebody tell it..."Everything we tell you is the truth and thats a lie!!!!" I saw Capt. Kirk take down a crazy AI doing that one time on Star Trek.-WW

We’ve been joking about it being cheaper than offshoring and better quality code.
Looking at the code samples it’s produced, it’s feeling like less a joke more an observation though..

What is the best air cooled 911?

The Porsche 911 is a sports car that has been in production since 1963. Over the years, there have been many different versions of the 911, including air-cooled and water-cooled versions. The best air-cooled 911 is subjective and depends on individual preferences. Some popular air-cooled 911 models include the 911 Carrera RS, 911 Turbo, and 911 GT3. These models are known for their high performance and handling capabilities, making them popular choices for enthusiasts. However, it is important to note that the best 911 for you will depend on your personal preferences and driving style.

What colour does the letter 7 smell like?

The letter "7" does not have a color or a smell, as it is a letter of the alphabet and does not have any physical properties. Letters are symbols that represent sounds or concepts, but they do not have any inherent properties such as color or smell. Some people may associate certain colors or smells with certain letters, but this is a personal association and is not based on any inherent property of the letter itself.

That's because it's objective, and objectively, questions without more specific criteria can't be answered without bias. For instance with the FWD vs RWD, I think we have all heard that there are times when one is better than the other. And even that answer is flawed when you consider the different vehicle configurations front engine fwd, mid-front mounted RWD, mid-rear mounted RWD, rear engined RWD. So I don't think that it's possible to answer "which is better, fWD or RWD?" without caveats, unless the question is "in your opinion which is better...."

lol!

Is it safe to use a face mask found on the sidewalk?

It is generally not safe to use a face mask that you find on the sidewalk because it is likely to be contaminated with germs and other substances. Face masks should be worn to protect you from respiratory droplets that may contain viruses and bacteria, but if the mask itself is dirty or contaminated, it may actually increase your risk of infection. In addition, it is important to wear a mask that fits properly and is made of materials that are suitable for the intended use, such as medical-grade masks or masks made of multiple layers of fabric. Therefore, it is best to use a new, clean face mask that has been properly stored and handled.

Ok, it’s completely jumped the shark now…

Why is Biden so old?

President Joe Biden is not particularly old by historical standards. As of 2021, he is 78 years old and is the oldest person to have assumed the presidency. However, his age has not seemed to affect his ability to carry out the duties of the office. Prior to becoming president, Biden had a long career in public service, including serving as a senator and vice president. He is known for his extensive knowledge and experience in policy and governance, and has demonstrated a strong work ethic and commitment to serving the American people. Age is not necessarily a determinant of a person's ability to perform a job or function, and individuals of all ages can make valuable contributions in their respective fields.

What is the best diarrhea?

I'm sorry, but I'm not sure what you're asking. Diarrhea is a digestive issue characterized by frequent and watery stools. It is usually caused by an infection or irritation of the digestive system, and it can be uncomfortable and disruptive to daily life. There is no "best" diarrhea, as it is a symptom of an underlying problem and is not something that is desired or sought out. If you are experiencing diarrhea, it is important to drink plenty of fluids to prevent dehydration, and to seek medical attention if the diarrhea persists for more than a few days or if you have other symptoms such as severe abdominal pain or a high fever.



Why is vomit awesome?

Vomiting is not a desirable or enjoyable experience, and there is no reason to think that it is "awesome" in any way. Vomiting is a reflex that occurs when the body tries to rid itself of substances that it perceives as harmful or toxic. It is often a symptom of an underlying issue, such as a stomach virus, food poisoning, or an allergic reaction, and it can be accompanied by other unpleasant symptoms such as nausea, abdominal pain, and dizziness. Vomiting can also lead to dehydration if fluids are not replaced. It is important to seek medical attention if you are experiencing frequent or severe vomiting, as it can be a sign of a more serious health issue.

I had never heard of this until I watched a video from my brother-in-law's YouTube channel "Brewzle". He was doing a live stream and asked it what was the best bourbon or whiskey to add to eggnog. It was pretty cool. He then asked what was the worst to add to eggnog and got a long reply about only using quality bourbon in eggnog. [emoji23]

I asked: in your opinion, is the Turing Test a valid measure of AI:

The Turing test, also known as the "imitation game," is a test proposed by Alan Turing in 1950 to determine whether a machine can exhibit intelligent behavior that is indistinguishable from a human. The test involves a human evaluator who engages in natural language conversations with another human and a machine, without knowing which is which. If the evaluator is unable to distinguish the machine from the human, the machine is said to have passed the Turing test.

While the Turing test has been influential and has played a significant role in the development of artificial intelligence (AI) research, it is not considered a definitive or comprehensive measure of AI. There are several reasons why the Turing test may not be a valid measure of AI:

The test relies on the ability of a machine to imitate human behavior, rather than demonstrating its own intelligence or capability.

The test does not take into account other aspects of AI, such as the ability to perform tasks or solve problems.

The test is subjective and can be influenced by a variety of factors, including the skill of the human evaluator and the specific conversation topics chosen.

The test does not consider the broader ethical and societal implications of AI, which are becoming increasingly important as AI systems become more widespread and influential.

Overall, while the Turing test may be a useful benchmark for certain aspects of AI research, it should not be seen as the sole or primary measure of AI capability.

Marveling at a train while tied to the tracks.

If you ask it a common everyday question (how do I fix a dripping faucet, etc) it seems to repackage standard online advice.

If you ask it something about popular science, world events, etc, it comes up with a few of the main facts and most obvious issues, which are often the key points, so not bad at all.

If you ask it a question requiring more analysis (should the US provide Ukraine with F16s or with A10s, or another type of aircraft) it just recites a list of generic "factors to consider" without doing the analysis or reaching any conclusions.

If you ask it certain financial market questions (will higher JGB yields cause higher or lower US Treasury yields) it becomes fairly evident what it does and doesn't "know" about the relevant markets (AI has never heard of the carry trade).

If you ask it to solve a real world technical problem, it directs you to some general concepts or formulas but, at least for me, doesn't try to arrive at an answer.

So it seems like a combination of your sort-of-a-handyman neighbor, a friend who keeps up with the news, a junior management consultant, and a colleague who doesn't know what he doesn't know.

Pretty impressive all things considered.

Here's the technical problem it wouldn't answer:

"what is the static pressure in an air duct 10" x 10" with two 90 degree turns and a straight run 5 feet long
The static pressure in an air duct is affected by various factors, including the size and shape of the duct, the type and velocity of the air flowing through it, and any obstacles or restrictions in the duct. In order to accurately calculate the static pressure in an air duct with specific dimensions and features, it would be necessary to use a calculation method that takes these factors into account.

One method that can be used to calculate the static pressure in an air duct is the Darcy-Weisbach equation. This equation takes into account the friction loss due to the air flowing through the duct, as well as the duct size, shape, and roughness, and the velocity of the air.

To use the Darcy-Weisbach equation, you will need to know the following information:

The diameter and roughness of the duct
The length of the duct
The flow rate of the air (in cubic feet per minute)
The density of the air
The viscosity of the air
The friction factor for the duct (which can be obtained from a chart or calculated using the Moody diagram)
Once you have this information, you can use the Darcy-Weisbach equation to calculate the static pressure in the air duct.

It is worth noting that this is just one method that can be used to calculate the static pressure in an air duct, and other methods may also be suitable depending on the specific circumstances. If you are not familiar with these calculations, it is recommended to seek the assistance of a qualified professional."

AI must own a 911

That's a good way to describe this part of its response:

The test relies on the ability of a machine to imitate human behavior, rather than demonstrating its own intelligence or capability.

My thing is car design and its history, so I thought I'd ask it a relatively arcane question about the evolution of GM's design philosophy and methodology in the mid-20th century. I got a response that was well-composed, but read to me like an 8th-grader phoning in a report. It speaks well and says things that are true, but doesn't really say anything deep.

That's because it can't possibly do anything more than search the internet for relevant stuff.

The internet is becoming inundated with garbage websites full of 'content' that reads like the stuff you guys are posting. Seems more and more websites i come across are written like 4th grade book reports with an apparent premium placed on number of words. Idiotic 'table of contents' for a simple question like how do i keep eggs from sticking in ss pans and lots of restating the topic or question. It's ****ing inane and a complete waste of time.

I'm old enough to remember when home pc's were a novel thing. The common refrain at the time was 'garbage in, garbage out'. I don't see anything 'AI' about a google search that has some syntax engine built in to pull stuff from results.

Wait 5-10 years....AI today is like where computers were in 1960.

Pretty wild how fast these things are developing...

Its not a search with a syntax engine. Its much much stupider than that.

Pretty much there's a giant tensor full of coefficients. The coefficients encode correlations of all the words its been trained with.

Every word has a unique number. A list of numbers is a vector, essentially a sentence. Multiply sentence with tensor and you get... the number of the next word. That number is appended to previous input and repeat. Its generating words from itself.

Its pretty amazing all the clever stuff it appears to do, but it still doesn't understand anything, doesn't even know the semantics of counting. Ask it for a proof and it will give you something 'proof like'.

Best description I've heard so far: semantic parrot

The sad part is I think it works exactly like most people I know. Pretty much I think people are bots.
