Thanks @KitaYama I did zoom in on Trump's cheat sheet it looks like notes for an adult possibly hand written. Biden's on the other hand looks like what you would expect for someone who has trouble remembering things. Right?

 

[KitaYama]

someone who has trouble remembering things.

No doubt on that.
I still can't understand why your people elected him as their president.

Stunned by the turbulence of the 2020 election, millions of Americans are asking the forbidden question: what really happened?

Since being published new information of underhanded behavior by Democrats to manipulate the election process has been uncovered, drip by drip. As one example, some have speculated that if the media had done its reporting job and not acted as a propaganda outlet for the Democratic party, that Biden would not have won.

I have been using it a lot (VBA) lately, and I've found that if you are using it for coding it's great for simple things. But if the situation gets a bit complicated you send a lot of time rephrasing the question, or debugging the code. How you ask the questions is important. The big advantage so far is that you don't have to do all the typing, which reduces spelling errors nad saves time. But you spend a lot of time arguing with it when things get complicated. I know about programming, but fairley new to VB, here si a subroutine that was produced buy ChatGP4.

Private Sub Worksheet_BeforeDoubleClick(ByVal Target As Range, Cancel As Boolean)
' Check if double-clicked cell is in Column M (8)
If Target.Column = 8 Then
If Target.Column = 8 And Target.Worksheet.Name = "CallLog" Then ' Column H in CallLog sheet
Dim response As VbMsgBoxResult
response = MsgBox("Do you want to continue?", vbYesNo)
If response = vbNo Then Exit Sub
Dim phoneNum As String
phoneNum = Target.Value
Dim lastRow As Long
lastRow = Sheets("DemandData").Cells(Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Row
Dim firstRow As Long
firstRow = Target.Row
Do While firstRow > 1 And Sheets("CallLog").Cells(firstRow - 1, "H").Value = phoneNum
firstRow = firstRow - 1
Loop
Dim i As Long
Dim prevPhoneNum As String
prevPhoneNum = ""
For i = firstRow To Sheets("CallLog").Cells(Rows.Count, "H").End(xlUp).Row
If Sheets("CallLog").Cells(i, "H").Value <> phoneNum And prevPhoneNum <> "" Then
' Set the phone number for the current line as the previous phone number for the next group
prevPhoneNum = phoneNum
phoneNum = Sheets("CallLog").Cells(i, "H").Value
ElseIf Sheets("CallLog").Cells(i, "H").Value = phoneNum Then
Sheets("DemandData").Range("A" & lastRow + 1).Value = phoneNum
Sheets("DemandData").Range("B" & lastRow + 1).Value = Sheets("CallLog").Cells(i, "I").Value ' Column I in CallLog sheet
Sheets("DemandData").Range("C" & lastRow + 1).Value = Sheets("CallLog").Cells(i, "J").Value ' Column J in CallLog sheet
lastRow = lastRow + 1
End If
'Debug.Print i
Next i

SortDemandData firstRow + 1, lastRow ' Sort only the new data

Sheets("DemandData").Activate

End If
ColorGroups
' Cancel the default action of the event
Cancel = True
' Check if double-clicked cell is in Column M (13)
ElseIf Target.Column = 13 Then
Dim wsCallLog As Worksheet
Dim wsNotes As Worksheet
'Dim lastRow As Long
Dim phoneNumber As String
Dim newRow As Long
Dim matchFound As Boolean
'Dim i As Long

'Define worksheet objects
Set wsCallLog = ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("CallLog")
Set wsNotes = ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("Notes")

'Check if double-click occurred in Notes column (M)
If Target.Column = 13 Then 'Column M = column 13
'Get value in VPhonenumber column of the same row
phoneNumber = wsCallLog.Cells(Target.Row, 8).Value

'Check if value in column H of CallLog matches anything in column A of Notes
matchFound = False
For i = 1 To wsNotes.Cells(wsNotes.Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Row
If wsNotes.Cells(i, 1).Value = phoneNumber Then
matchFound = True
'Position cursor on matching row and column B (ExtNotes)
Application.GoTo wsNotes.Cells(i, 2), True
Exit For
End If
Next i

'If match is found, activate Notes worksheet and position cursor on matching row
If matchFound Then
wsNotes.Activate
Application.GoTo wsNotes.Cells(i, 1), True
Else 'If no match is found, copy value to first open row in Column A of Notes sheet
lastRow = wsNotes.Cells(wsNotes.Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Row
newRow = IIf(lastRow < 1, 1, lastRow + 1)
wsNotes.Cells(newRow, 1).Value = phoneNumber
'Position cursor on column B (ExtNotes) of new row
Application.GoTo wsNotes.Cells(newRow, 2), True
wsNotes.Activate
End If

'Cancel double-click event to prevent cell editing
Cancel = True
End If

' Cancel the default action of the event
Cancel = True
End If
End Sub

It was created for EXCEL, but it can be impressive when it wants to. Never would have created the sub without the help ChatGP4. Note that it took a lot of questions before it worked. Many hours.

Try negotiating with an AI. Prior to Hal 9000's infamous "I'm sorry Dave, I'm afraid I can't do that" there was the very low budget movie Dark Star (1974). In that movie the crew attempts to negotiate with Thermostellar Bomb #20. So nearly 50 years ago Carpenter was very prescient concerning what could happen.

Doolittle space walks out to have a philosophical conversation with the bomb. It agrees to disarm itself for the moment.
...
The bomb, having learned Cartesian doubt, trusts only itself. It is convinced that only it exists, and that its sole purpose in life is to explode, and it does so.

At the 4 minute mark: "Let there be light".

There is a new chatbot in town: Pi. Its good! Go to heypi.com and check it out. Make sure you turn the audio on as it makes all the difference. You can only type the message but it replies with audio. It is starting to get like that movie, "Her"!

ChatGPT said:-

AI and Plagiarism​

ChatGPT and plagiarism? If the software pulls together it's answer from things it finds on the web. In other words, other people's work, isn't that a sort of plagiarism? Humans avoid plagiarism by reading stuff they find and then reiterating it in their own words.

As an AI language model, I don't have direct access to the internet or specific databases during our conversation. My responses are generated based on the vast amount of text I've been trained on, which includes a wide range of sources such as books, articles, websites, and other texts, up until September 2021. I do not have the capability to browse the web in real-time or retrieve current information.
Regarding plagiarism, it's important to note that ChatGPT does not have consciousness or intentions. While it can provide information from various sources, it doesn't actively search for specific content or directly quote from individual authors. Instead, it learns patterns and structures from the training data to generate responses.
However, it's essential for users to be aware that the information provided by AI models like ChatGPT may not always be accurate, up-to-date, or reliable. It's always a good practice to verify information from multiple sources and exercise critical thinking.
When it comes to humans, you're correct that plagiarism involves presenting someone else's work or ideas as your own without proper attribution. Ethical practices in research, writing, and communication generally involve properly citing and paraphrasing information from sources to avoid plagiarism.
If you're using information from the web or other sources, it's recommended to read, understand, and process the information in your own words, giving credit to the original authors when necessary.

Free Research Preview. ChatGPT may produce inaccurate information about people, places, or facts. ChatGPT May 12 Version

In addition to previous posts I've made wherein I believe that the impressive ease with which people have already created software to detect ChatGPT output, and how I believe that means 'something' (not sure exactly what, but something significant)...I will also say that my kids have already had stuff they wrote detected as failing the test......Even though they merely wrote something in Spanish on their own totally - and then had ChatGPT translate it to English. Even just the mere translation was detectable!

And my daughter wrote a presentation with some narrative. She wrote all her own narrative, but wanted it dumbed down to outline form for the presentation. She used chatgpt JUST to turn a NARRATIVE into an OUTLINE ..........and that was flagged by the professor using some new tool.

Wow..

When I was in grad school, which was a publish-or-perish environment, there was this saying that was circulated regarding one of my committee professors. Regarding Dr. X, it was said: Copy one research article and it is plagiarism. Copy two research articles and it gross plagiarism. Copy at least five research articles and it becomes a review article. And yes, this professor who was on my examining board DID have a large number of review articles to his credit. He was otherwise a nice guy and I actually liked him, so I'll keep his actual name and initials out of this. But he WAS known for getting off a phone call after chewing the fat with a distant colleague and immediately sending one of his grad students down to the lab to see if he could get publishable results before someone else did.

There is another viewpoint for this: Tom Lehrer's song "Lobachevsky"

Hi @Jon,

I know you use Anki flashcards.

I saw this post on Twitter where Firstly, you can share your chat GPT conversation as a URL, see below.

Secondly, the thing that I think will be of interest to you Jon, you can use chat GPT to generate Anki cards.

The following link should be self-explanatory when you open it:-

Thanks for that Uncle. I did see something about it before with Anki, but I stopped using Anki along with Supermemo (a more sophisticated alternative) about a year ago. Edit: I still use spaced repetition but for improving my chess, using a site called Chessable.

Ultimately, we will be able to use ChatGPT for virtually anything in the future requiring intelligence. The big difference between ChatGPT and us is that it has near perfect memory, whilst we struggle.
