I'm in Love with ChatGPT

I wrote a peace which contained words describing genitals and transgender and the like and chat GPT would not have anything to do with my writing telling me that I was out of line.

What was interesting was it appeared to be making a moral judgement. So I think I'm going to fallout with my mate chat GTP at some stage in the future! I don't like anybody telling me how I can think, whether it's global warming, transgender, free speech....

I fell out with it the first time that I proved it had given me a totally incredibly biased answer about two genders. When I pressed it for more information it actually admitted that it had done that in order to promote the greater good not in those exact words. That was the last time that I used it for anything other than coming up with professional sounding sentence structure or coding.

Oh yes it will continue to be very popular, just not at my expense

It can be a struggle to get to the right answer. Not effort Mind you, just racking your brains to think about the way to ask the question so your new question moves chat GPT in the right direction.

For this alone, I don't think chat GPT will be much help for a complete beginner, unless of course chat GPT is let loose on Access world forums where it would be able to learn from all of the wooly questions beginners ask and also see the correct answers provided by the members here.

And it's important to know that it is better to use it for some purposes than others.

AI is like any new tool some people will use it well and some people will try to use the same ai wrapper for "everything"...
 
I think it will improve generally and specifically as newer versions evolve and as focused language ( or other) domains are exploited. For general questions with appropriate wording it's pretty fantastic --given what we had only a couple of years ago.
It, like many areas of interest, needs a fact checker. Now some subjects and open ended questions may just accept terminology and concepts. But if we are going to get reliable responses, then I think we need facts -vetted facts- for those subjects that are fact-based, not just conjecture.

Now that statement I can pretty much get on board with.

If you're not dealing with a precision issue.

I've used it to write poems in other languages, kind of cool

I've been playing games again with chat GPT.

I wondered if Chat GPT could help me organize my website categories and tags. The website has evolved over many years and as you can imagine it needs tidying up! I have one page on my website which shows all of the pages, all the posts, all the tags are listed, as are all of the categories. So I posted the lot in chat GPT with the following instruction:-

The nifty Access website is designed to help developers with Microsoft Access. On Offer to potential customers are a selection of solutions, many ready-made packages, "Drop In" components for database projects. The following is a list of the pages, posts, tags and categories. Could you organise the posts and pages into suitable tags and categories? Please suggest your own observations as you see fit!

Well I can tell you it failed miserably! Not unexpected, my question wasn't very well defined... I had a few more attempts at defining a better question and eventually I got it right. It turns out that the correct way to ask the question was this:-

My instruction to chat GPT that worked!
What I'm expecting is that you choose a tag and then underneath the particular tag list ALL the pages and posts that are associated with that tag. Then take the next tag and do the same. And then for categories do the same again


Chat GPT has provided me a link to The Exchange I was having with it:-

Categorize Access Solutions.
chat.openai.com

ChatGPT - Categorize Access Solutions.

Shared via ChatGPT
chat.openai.com chat.openai.com

If you scroll to the bottom, you can see the results of Chat GPT's efforts to categorize and tag the pages and posts. I haven't thoroughly studied the results yet, but at a glance, they seem acceptable. The next step is to compare Chat GPT's efforts with my own category and tag decisions stored in WordPress. Hopefully, this will help me improve the structure of my website.

By the way I've just subscribed to chat GTP, it's just so helpful, I had to!

I wonder? Can chat GPT play chess? I'm going to find out!

My CGPT mate said:-
Yes, I can play chess! While I don't have a physical presence to move the pieces on a physical board, I can understand and respond to chess moves and provide you with moves in return. Just let me know if you'd like to play a game, and we can get started.
 
You're going to love this one!

See here on chat GPT:- https://chat.openai.com/share/8632da1d-cc68-44ff-8844-b6aec10483a9

Here is the text just in case the link doesn't work:-

Can chat GPT play chess

ChatGPT
Yes, I can play chess! While I don't have a physical presence to move the pieces on a physical board, I can understand and respond to chess moves and provide you with moves in return. Just let me know if you'd like to play a game, and we can get started.

Uncle Gizmo
When I ask you to do something like improve some text, or reformat something for me, I usually ask a question like "could you improve the following" or "could you check the following for errors and suggest improvements" my question is, is there a short-hand way of giving you instructions?

ChatGPT
Yes, there is a shorthand way of giving me instructions. Instead of asking a question, you can directly provide the instruction or request in a clear and concise manner. Here are a few examples:

"Please improve the following text: [insert text here]"
"Check the following for errors and suggest improvements: [insert text here]"
"Rewrite the paragraph to make it more concise and engaging."
"Summarize the main points of this article."
"Provide a list of pros and cons for the topic I'm discussing."
By giving specific instructions or requests, you can guide me on what you need assistance with, and I'll do my best to fulfill your requirements.

Uncle Gizmo
I was thinking more in terms of a single word instruction or possibly a single letter or number. It could be done with a prior agreement between us, as to what short-hand instruction performed which particular function.

ChatGPT
I see what you mean. While there isn't a built-in shorthand system for instructions, we can certainly establish a prior agreement between us for specific shorthand instructions. However, keep in mind that using shorthand instructions may limit the clarity and specificity of the request, which could result in potential misunderstandings or incorrect outputs.

If you would like to proceed with shorthand instructions, please let me know the specific instructions or functions you have in mind, along with the agreed-upon shorthand notation. I'll do my best to accommodate your requests within the constraints of our conversation.

please describe an apple in a Shakespearean voice
ChatGPT
Hark! Allow me, in the spirit of Shakespearean artistry, to paint a portrait of an apple fair.

Behold, a wondrous orb, its hue a radiant crimson akin to the blush of a maiden's cheek. Its form, round and plump, doth bespeak nature's grace and bounty. From bough to branch, it dangles, a jewel amidst the verdant tapestry of the orchard.

This apple, in its gentle curve, doth house a secret. Peel back its skin, as one might unveil a treasure, and within lies a succulent flesh, tender and crisp. The first bite, an intoxicating revelation, fills the senses with a symphony of flavors. Sweet nectar, like ambrosia, dances upon the tongue, while subtle notes of tartness whisper serenades to the discerning palate.

A noble aroma wafts forth, redolent of the earth's embrace, as if the apple hath captured the very essence of the sunlit meadows and cool zephyrs. Its fragrance, a balm for wearied souls, inspires a longing for simpler times, when man and nature danced in harmonious accord.

This fruit, in its humble guise, bears testament to the ephemeral nature of existence. As the seasons ebb and flow, so too does the apple's destiny. Yet, in its passing, it imparts a legacy—a humble seed, harboring the promise of renewal and rebirth.

Thus, I beseech thee, cherish this apple, this marvel of nature's handiwork. For within its modest sphere resides a tale of sustenance, beauty, and the cycle of life itself.

Yeah, I've discovered it's quite useful for when you want to deliberately write things in a certain Tone or Vernacular.

If I wanted to make my post sound like every day British, or if you wanted to make them sound like more American, or if someone even wanted to pretend English was their second language, they could do that.

I've actually taken my own writing and asked ChatGPT to say the same thing in simpler, less good-English sounding terms - and it did so.
Used it to help a family member whose language status is different, submit an assignment without arousing suspicion.

Hey, I'm sorry, but we were desperate and they needed help!

My granddaughter, 6 years old spent a few days with us when we went away on holiday recently.

She was very amusing and engaging, mainly because she would bend the rules as far as she could without breaking them. Not in a bad way, in an engaging way.

Our dog has a quirk which when I first noticed it I was very annoyed. The dog would pick up a toy, a frisbee, a ball or whatever you were playing with and run with it. She would not drop it. She would whip round behind you so you couldn't get it. She made you chase her all over the garden! She would not sit or be obedient in any way! Everything I was taught about dogs that you shouldn't allow them to do!

However, at any other time she is the most respectful and disciplined animal you could imagine.

My granddaughter was playing catch with the dog and the dog did her usual trick. Picked up the frisbee and ran away with it. Much to the annoyance of my granddaughter. She was getting very frustrated. Of course this caused me much amusement!

I had a chat with my indignant granddaughter, I explained what was happening from the dog's point of view. The dog had invented her own game and was playing it on her own terms.

Once my granddaughter could see it was just a game, she played the game with the dog and developed a technique for retrieving the frisbee. Quite impressive to see a 6-year-old take control of a wayward dog!

What's this got to do with Chat GPT you ask?

At the moment it's very clever, intelligent and produces some excellent results which are well written but in a very formal voice. I suspect as it grows in skill and knowledge it will find a more human way of communicating with a bit of humour and occasionally breaking the odd rule or two.
 
In this video, Sam Garfield shows a different way of utilising Chat GPT for coding.

At first I thought, Wow ! But as the video progressed, I did feel it was getting a tad complicated.
