More AI Spookiness.




 I typed this inquiry into chatGPT: "Tell me a story about ancient man." And this is what it spit out.  This is damn scary as the whole story was created in less than 30 seconds and looks well thought out and written.

Once upon a time, in a land far, far away, there lived a tribe of ancient humans. They were a nomadic people who lived off the land and relied on their skills as hunters and gatherers to survive. They roamed the vast plains and dense forests, following the herds of wild animals and foraging for berries, fruits, and roots.


One day, as they were traveling through a dense forest, they came across a large, mysterious cave. The entrance to the cave was dark and foreboding, but the tribe was curious and decided to explore it. As they ventured deeper into the cave, they came across strange markings on the walls that they couldn't understand. They also found unusual tools and weapons that were unlike any they had ever seen.


As they delved deeper into the cave, they suddenly heard a loud roar that echoed through the tunnels. It was a sound that they had never heard before, and it sent shivers down their spines. They hesitated for a moment, unsure if they should continue, but their curiosity got the better of them, and they pressed on.


As they reached the end of the cave, they discovered a hidden chamber, illuminated by a strange, otherworldly glow. Inside the chamber, they found a giant, prehistoric beast, with sharp teeth and claws. The creature was terrifying, but the tribe was brave, and they stood their ground, ready to fight.


In a fierce battle that lasted for hours, the ancient humans fought the beast with all their might. They used their spears, clubs, and other weapons to defend themselves, but the beast was powerful and cunning. Just when it seemed that all was lost, the tribe's leader had an idea. He grabbed a nearby torch and set it alight, throwing it at the beast. The creature recoiled in fear, and the tribe took their chance, striking it down with their weapons.


The tribe emerged from the cave victorious, having defeated a mighty foe. They carried with them the knowledge and tools they had found inside, and they used them to improve their way of life. From that day on, they became known as the bravest and most resourceful tribe in all the land, and their legend lived on for generations to come.

Peace and Balance,

AI (Real or Artificial) Intelligence?



 Let's talk about chatGPT.  The tech dept. at the school system some of us work for, sent out an email as a warning for the use and misuse of chatGPT by some of our students.  If you're not aware chatGPT is an AI (artificial intelligence) bot that generates fairly well written information that students can submit as homework, essays, and or pass off as research material.  It's spooky.

So, being the curious type, I entered the chatGPT realm, logged in and began asking a whole plethora of questions to see if I could trip up the bot.  So far, nada.  Who ever is responsible for creating this devious software is a virtual genius.   It generates what looks like some pretty well thought out answers that are readable, not to wordy, uses easy to understand language that looks like it's thinking on the standard reading level of the average US. citizen, and it comes up with darn good material.  If I plug a question in that it cannot understand or if my inquiry is vague, the chatGPT will explain to you that it can not understand, find, and will suggest you fix your inquiry or check your spelling.  Incredible...  

About 6 months ago my friend, Paul, another Taiji guy from Europe sent me a paper that was well written, inciteful, and way off topic.  So what do I do, I send him a response that sounded like I was being just darn evil.  I had no idea at the time that the paper was generated by a chatGPT type of program.  Silly me... Fool me once, fool me twice, no third strike.  But, that was my bad, now I am aware. 

So, if you are a teacher, a parent of school age kiddos, a paraprofessional, or a regular journalist type such as we bloggers, beware of chatGPT. For right around the corner is SkyNet, and for those of us familiar with Arnold's movie, that didn't turn out so good.

Peace and Balance,
