    ChatGPT: The Future of AI is Here!

    Mostly I don't see that it comes up with new things. It offers nothing in the way of real creativity. Everything it produces consists of stuff that is already available in some form elsewhere. What it seems to have down is combining that old stuff into novel strings (or pixels or beeps)...

    ChatGPT: The Future of AI is Here!

    What does that mean? Like, what exactly was the deliverable? Did it give you an .accdb file? If it can spit out actual database files that are more-or-less ready to use, that's quite something...

    ChatGPT: The Future of AI is Here!

    I tried You.com the other day. It didn't require an account, so a much more inviting trial environment for folks not wanting to sign their lives away to a computer. I wanted to see how it was creatively because the ChatGPT examples I've seen of poetry don't have the best meter. First I asked it...
