    Why deleting members name from replies?

    I usually include the name in the first quote only. Agreed. Though for subsequent quotes, I also leave off the name. They probably didn't write anything worth reading anyway.

    Are you ALL awake?

    This is hardly new - been like this for years in many circles. Also, who "stands for" date terminology? Seems an odd hill to die on...

    Are there any escalator experts on the forum?

    I've never noticed this. The difference must not amount to much over the course of the ride...?

    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!

    Mostly agree. ChatGPT texts are pretty noticeable as such. However, I wouldn't call it "an automation of google searches", mostly because I don't think it's actuality looking through tables of facts or anything similar but just stringing together words in a probabilistic fashion based on...

    Why No one Understands this?

    I don't know, I find the promise of a paycheck or the threat of its discontinuation to be pretty motivating. 🤑

    Killer App for ChatGPT

    Would the AI eventually realize it has an easier time helping other AIs than dumb humans and just stop helping humans get even basic necessities?

    Killer App for ChatGPT

    You're assuming there's actually something on the other side of all that hold music. What if there isn't?

    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...

    Making English Pure Again

    Grammatical gender has nothing to do with biological gender. The notion of inanimate objects having grammatical gender is not ridiculous in the least.

    Making English Pure Again

    English does the same - and quite frequently. It just often keeps the component words separate in spelling. (Baseball = one word; White House = one word. But white house = two words.)

    Making English Pure Again

    When these folks start learning and using OE noun declensions and the full system of verb conjugation, I'll maybe start taken them a little more seriously. Until then, this is mostly just an inside joke to make a few people feel clever about knowing made-up words used in otherwise fully-modern...
