Intro To The Spewing of Soul-Less AI

ChatGPT (and other such AI programs) have demonstrated their willingness to generate content on any topic whether it is gibberish or not.

Recently I had it generate a talk for the upcoming BugCon (no such convention) covering the topic of firefly light emission being altered by the relative gravitational increase during a full moon (no such phenomenon — as far as I know).

The ChatGPT AI engine was more than happy to create the talk. Basically operating as a soul-less text spewing machine. Thing that is not unique to AI. Humans are equally happy to be text spewing machines. Continue reading

ChatGPT Writes a Poem

Well, ChatGPT seems to have fared better at a poem than the utter flop it made of the attempt as a joke. Sorry, not sure what the proper pronouns are for ChatGPT.

Me to ChatGPT: What are your pronouns?

ChatGPT: I am an artificial intelligence and do not have a gender or pronouns. You can refer to me as “it” if you would like. Is there anything else I can help with?

ChatGPT Tries To Make A Joke

This did not go so well. However, in fairness to ChatGPT this punchline is one that many comedians have failed to resolve.

Me:
Tell a joke with the punch line “Hot or cold he’s out of here in the morning.”

ChatGPT:
Sure! Here’s a joke with that punchline:
Why did the polar bear break up with his girlfriend?
Hot or cold, he’s out of here in the morning!

Me:
Thanks, but that is a riddle. I was hoping for more of a funny story type of joke.

ChatGPT:
I’m sorry if my previous response didn’t meet your expectations. Here’s a different joke with the punchline you requested:

A man checked into a hotel and asked for a room with a good view. The receptionist gave him a room on the top floor with a beautiful view of the surrounding area.

The next morning, the man checked out and asked the receptionist, “How much do I owe you?”

The receptionist replied, “The room was $100 per night and you stayed one night, so the total comes to $100.”

The man said, “But I was only here for one night. I checked in yesterday morning and checked out this morning.”

The receptionist replied, “Yes, that’s correct. The room is $100 per night.”

The man argued, “But I was only here for a few hours. I should only have to pay for a few hours.”

The receptionist said, “I’m sorry, but our policy is that the room is $100 per night, regardless of how long you stay. Hot or cold, you’re out of here in the morning.”
