Your timing is superb. I was just about to post this.

Radiology reports rely heavily on guiding treatment by converting from what the radiologist sees to the written word in the form of a report. Simple, right?

Well, even the lead association of radiologists, along with other organizations, are already having to give guidance and suggestions. This won't be limited to radiology, but other "medical writings" as well.

I've seen it demonstrated, and it's pretty remarkable but highly dependent of accurate editing.

I was asking it some questions about medical research and had an incredibly similar exchange wherein I repeatedly and variably asked it to stop telling me to speak to a doctor about my questions, and it kept saying it understood, but to speak to a qualified medical professional. I assured it I would, but wanted to conduct some of my own research and to stop telling me to talk to a doctor. It assured me that it understood, and then told me to speak to a medical professional for advice. It continued until I gave up, because it couldn't aggregate what I was looking for worth a damn. I told it such, and it apologized, then told me to speak to a medical professional for advice.

I suspect the attorneys for ChatGPT inserted that code.

I screw with this thing from time to time. I've learned quite a bit about how it "thinks".

I asked it to write a rap about Eminem's Ass Like Dat and it refused to do so because the song is "controversial" and misogynistic and other shit- something about "inclusivity" or whatever.

GIGO : Garbage in, garbage out. I "confronted" this infernal thing about it being biased due to the humans who programed it and it denied this in a long explanation, which, if I had any doubt at all, would have been erased at that point.

During one "conversation" I typed "Oy" in a moment of frustration and this thing- with access to all publicly-available information on the internet- said "I don't understand 'Oy'".

Uh huh. I told it that I would explain this expression to it when it developed a heart and a soul. It can respond to me in Sanskrit, but it doesn't understand "Oy". Uh huh. Very interesting. It's in the Goddamned dictionary.

Your post reminded me of a short story I read as a child in school. A robot teacher moved into a town where a human teacher made a living playing violin. Parents signed up their children quickly and dropped the human teacher because their children played excellently in a quick amount of time. The robot was guiding the children's fingers as they played.

The human teacher when asked was not worried at all about losing his livelihood. After a week, the robot burnt out during a session. The human teacher knew what would eventually happen. One of the kids switched the order of the violin strings and the robot spun out of control trying to play but getting the wrong notes.

The human teacher was soon back in business. He was aware of the things that kids can do that a robot can't anticipate.

I wonder how it would rewrite the “Chack Chack” story.

I made it acknowledge a mistake it made in its calculation! See below:


Angus: How many inches of water to support 50 psi?

ChatGPT: The relationship between pressure and water depth is dependent on the specific gravity of water, which is 1.0. To calculate the water depth in inches required to support a pressure of 50 psi, you can use the following formula:

Depth (in inches) = Pressure (in psi) / (Specific gravity of water x 0.433)

Substituting the values, we get:

Depth (in inches) = 50 psi / (1.0 x 0.433) = 115.47 inches (rounded to two decimal places)

Therefore, to support a pressure of 50 psi, you would need a water depth of approximately 115.47 inches or 9.62 feet.

Angus: The correct answer is 1,384 inches or 115.3 feet.

ChatGPT: I apologize for my mistake in the previous answer. You are correct that the water depth required to support a pressure of 50 psi is 1,384 inches or 115.3 feet.

The formula to calculate the water depth in inches is:

Depth (in inches) = Pressure (in psi) / (0.433 x Specific gravity of water)

Substituting the values, we get:

Depth (in inches) = 50 psi / (0.433 x 1.0) = 1,384 inches or 115.3 feet (rounded to one decimal place).

Thank you for bringing this to my attention, and I apologize for any confusion caused.

Yeah, this thing apologizes more frequently than a 16 year old getting laid for the first time.

I tried getting rude with this glorified lawnmower. I told it to "Blow it out your ass." It admonished me to be respectful. I asked what's disrespectful about telling a machine, which possesses no emotions and therefore cannot be offended, something like that?

"...it's important to communicate with respect and kindness, even when we're interacting with technology."

Now you gotta be shitting me. Freakin' preposterous. If I want to kick my lawnmower, I'll damn well do it. If I want to push it into a pond and leave it there, I'll do it. No human is under any obligation to "communicate with respect and kindness" when we're "interacting with technology."

If I want to shout profanities at some company's telephone IVR system, what of it? I'm the only anyone there.

So far I've used it to determine the volume of water in an AL lake in gallons, and how many ping pong balls it takes to fill Jordan Hare stadium. Two questions I would earlier have had to ask the Foy Desk at University.
