Chat GPT



Have you tried asking questions on Chat GPT?

Personally, I haven't. But my son, Kimbo, uses it occasionally. Just recently Lady M found an old George VI 1947 halfpenny coin in the park, and of course Kimbo had to ask all about it.

He sent a photo, and asked Chat GPT if it was worth 'a fortune'; the response was really amazing.

Not only does the reply sound like a real person, but it is filled with so much information that you almost feel lectured-to. It even goes into aspects that weren't asked-about. The answer was so comprehensive, that it was hard to imagine that this wasn't a real (well-informed), live person.

I find it all rather creepy, and almost dangerous. I hear that the current state-of-the-art Chat GPT is only just scraping the surface, and that very soon such AI sites will be more intelligent than most humans; which they probably already are!

If you haven't yet used the site, I suggest you have a go. You will be amazed.

p.s. The battered halfpenny was worth a farthing (at best)!

I use GPT chat quite a bit, it provides a lot of knowledge and answers on every topic, it doesn't let up, it always offers something more, you have to know when to stop it and of course sometimes slightly doubt the answers it gives.

I find it absolutely amazing.

I bet it tells lies though.

Never heard of it. Google's enough for me, though I'll keep it in mind.

I've used it a couple of times and found the answers very helpful.

I have just been looking at a bunch of old coins that are in my possession but I had not thought about using Chat GPT to determine their value. Thanks for the brainwave Uncle Roger.

You can ask it to tell lies... and it will.

Cro Magnon said...

It's worth just trying it, to see its capabilities. You'll be amazed.

Cro Magnon said...

Yes, it'll tell you everything you need to know, and more.

Sadly, it didn't come-up with the valuation that Lady M was hoping for.

My daughter uses it all the time. Recently she booked a fortnight's holiday in Japan using it - it did a detailed itinerary of everything she wanted to do there, along with the flight and hotel bookings, visit to Mount Fuji, with all the timings matching up, etc etc. She's just got back after having a wonderful time!

That's amazing. Is there anything it can't do?

It sounds very useful, but right now I can't think of a single thing I'd like to ask it! I'm sure something will come to mind eventually.

I have been using it for 18 months or so. I recently asked it to describe me - which it did.

It can also analyze blogs.
