Take a second and tweak it and make it sound more like their voice (also use the make it shorter command a few times too). But that would be work, and that's simply a bridge too far. Quote

Deleterious Posted April 3 Posted April 3 ChatGPT pushed a new image creation update to the free version. I just asked for an image of a man and woman eating at a restaurant. Casual and romantic. Not perfect. But not bad for someone who has no clue what he is doing and for only one attempt. The food is uninspiring, but you could run it again with more directions to fix that. A restaurant could run a social media campaign using this with no problem. Quote

CMRivdogs Posted April 5 Posted April 5 The past couple of weeks we've been experiencing pollen season. This year seem particularly bad to me (maybe it's my lungs). Between waking up to a car and outdoor furniture covered in the ugly yellow/green stuff along with the added joy of local birds adding their own signatures. At least we're keeping the local car wash busy Quote

I have a standing test for AI to see whether I feel I can use it reliably and trust its accuracy, and it's this: I have a softball league of eight teams. We play a seven-game season, with games times at 6pm, 7pm, 8pm, and 9pm. Devise a seven-week schedule in which each team plays every other team once and only once, and every team plays no more than two games maximum scheduled for any one game time throughout the season. It's a simple math/logic test. None of the AIs I've used can do this. Some of them will schedule one team against another four times while not even playing three other teams at all. And some teams will have five games scheduled for a particular time and no games scheduled for one or two others. If you tell me I am giving it an impossible task, that's fine, but before I accept that, you'll have to tell me exactly why it's impossible. Now here's a new example of uselessness: I used Microsoft Word to develop a set of questions for something my wife and I are exploring in which I mixed first person singular with first person plural. They should all be first person plural. Microsoft Word has their Copilot AI built into their 365 package. So I asked Copilot within Word: "change all first person singular to first person plural". This was its reply: "It looks like you want to change all first-person singular pronouns to first-person plural pronouns in your document. Unfortunately, I can't make changes to your document directly. However, I can help you with other tasks such as summarizing documents, generating content, or answering questions. Would you like me to assist you with anything else? 😊" Oh, come ON! Seriously? You really can't do even that? I've never wanted to punch a smarmy useless smiley emoji in the face quite so much as when I saw this. I have a colleague who seems to think we can use AI to do everything to make our jobs easier. I can't get into specifics, but I'm 100% out on it. Don't get me wrong. I love writing code to make our jobs easier, but the code needs to be fully vetted and well-planned out, not at the whims of an algorithm. Quote

When Alan Mulally left Boeing and went to Ford, got push back from one of the VP's there implying he didn't understand the challenge of quality issues.. "Look, our cars have thousands of parts, if they don't work it breaks down" "That's nice. At Boeing our airplanes have millions of parts and if they don't work they fall out of the sky and people die" Quote
