@Fred Siang pak Fred,

Students who cheat at school and during the prior diploma exam is a known subject, since the creation of the school system, in fact...

The mission of a professor, a doctoral student or a teacher is not to educate children in honesty. Their mission is to teach revealed, observable and demonstrable knowledge.

Learning from adversity between students also belongs to parents and in no way to teachers.

The good question is to know why the parents obtain peace of mind in the exchange of a screen connected to the Internet towards their children not even 2 years old.

Since the creation of computing (IBM) we have developed a society of fools and ignoramuses. We have destroyed 75% of the laboring professions (it seems that it is to take care of the workers and their difficult missions), such as builders, waiters, cooks, public service, carpenter, scrap metal workers, accountant, doctor, truck drivers, etc. ...

Parenting, as you know, is one of hard work.

Insofar as our diplomas and our professional experience are worth nothing compared to an artificial intelligence, your subject is out of the news.

The answer to your question is here:

"Mindfxxxk, Cambridge Analityca" by CH. Wyllies edited in 2018.

Georges Orwell, "1984" published between 1948 and 1951.

"Media manipulation", 1986 by Elyse Lucet.

and many others.....

It's ChatGPT that uses your knowledge. Everytime you wonder ChatGPT, you improve the IA.

Progress is always good with morons. Let's wait to see how many of them will join ChatGPT.

Sampai jumpa, hormat saya.

My limited experience suggests I can use this as a tool, but it isn't close to good enough to rely on ... yet.

It copied my work but it made a few serious errors so it can, in my humble opinion, only be used as an ideas generator or guide, not a superior resource.

I played a little more and it came up with stuff I can use as a base for work involved in my somewhat odd second job.

Basic thing is: it is already here. Some people will use it, some people will not use it but definitely new people coming to the world in the next year's will grow with this around them and eventually all people alive will be using it.

I used ChatGPT on a couple of the forums here already. Questions in bold.

Poster asked:

I would like to know what change to bring to go through Europe to Bulgaria Can i use my Debit card or do i need Change and how much are Tolls in Europe?

ChatGPT replied:

If you're planning to drive from the UK to Bulgaria, there are a few things you should keep in mind in terms of currency and tolls.

Firstly, Bulgaria uses the Bulgarian lev (BGN) as its currency, so you will need to exchange your British pounds (GBP) for Bulgarian lev when you arrive. You can exchange your currency at banks, exchange offices, or ATMs in Bulgaria. Some larger stores and hotels may also accept major credit cards.

When it comes to tolls, the fees can vary depending on which countries you're driving through and which roads you're using. In general, most European countries have electronic toll collection systems that allow you to pay using a debit or credit card. However, it's a good idea to carry some cash with you as a backup, especially if you're driving through rural areas.

To get an idea of the toll fees in different countries, you can check out websites like TollGuru or ViaMichelin. These sites allow you to input your route and vehicle information to get an estimate of the toll fees you'll encounter on your journey.

It's also worth noting that some countries require you to purchase a vignette or road tax sticker in advance. For example, in Bulgaria, you'll need to purchase a vignette to use the country's highways. You can buy these stickers at border crossings, gas stations, or online in advance. The price of the vignette will depend on how long you plan to stay in Bulgaria and which type of vehicle you're driving.

Overall, it's a good idea to do some research and plan ahead when it comes to currency exchange and tolls. This will help ensure that you have a smooth and hassle-free journey.

Moving to Malaga from North America. Easy to make friends?

I asked:

How easy for to meet ex-pats and make friends in Malaga?

ChatGPT replied:

Malaga is a popular destination for expats, so it can be relatively easy to meet other expats and make friends. There are several expat groups and organizations in Malaga that organize events and activities, such as language exchanges, cultural events, and sports clubs. These groups can be a great way to meet other expats who share similar interests.

In addition, many expats in Malaga frequent popular expat-friendly spots, such as Irish pubs, sports bars, and international restaurants. These places can be a good starting point for meeting new people.

Finally, joining local clubs or organizations can be a good way to meet both expats and locals who share similar interests. For example, if you enjoy hiking, you could join a local hiking club or group.

Overall, while it may take some effort to make new friends, there are many opportunities to meet other expats and make connections in Malaga.

And is Spain a good country compared to Canada?

To which ChatGPT replied:

It's difficult to compare Spain and Canada as they are both very different countries with unique cultures, histories, and social systems. Both countries have their own strengths and weaknesses and what makes one country "better" than the other largely depends on an individual's personal preferences and priorities.

Spain is known for its warm climate, rich culture, and relaxed lifestyle. It offers a vibrant social scene, delicious cuisine, and a strong emphasis on family and community. However, Spain can also be known for its high unemployment rates, low wages, and slower-paced bureaucracy.

Canada, on the other hand, is known for its quality of life, friendly people, and excellent social services. It offers universal healthcare, a strong education system, and a diverse and multicultural society. However, Canada can also be known for its harsh winters and high cost of living in some areas.

Ultimately, whether Spain or Canada is a better country largely depends on an individual's values and preferences. Both countries have their own unique advantages and disadvantages, and it's up to the individual to decide which one is the best fit for them.

I see that AI easily surpasses the eloquency of some posters here (and seemingly also their intellectual capacity).

Last week, my son and his girlfriend asked ChatGPT to explain "nanotechnology" in "Jamaican English". He knows how to speak JA style, so we got him to read it out to us. The result was hilarious.

Write a poem about a dead tree and a dog with three legs using yorkshire dialect

Tha' dead tree an' t' dog wi' three legs,

Mak' quite a sight upon the moors,

T' tree all stark an' bare an' bleak,

An' t' dog a limpin' on three paws fer sure.

But don't be fooled by what tha' sees,

Fer in t' dog's eyes there's a spark,

An' he don't let his missin' leg,

Hold him back or keep him dark.

An' tha' dead tree, though it's lost its leaves,

Still stands proud upon t' hill,

A testament to times gone by,

An' to t' strength that's in it still.

An' so tha' dog an' tree together,

May seem like an odd pair indeed,

But both have faced their share of struggles,

An' both have shown their true breed.

So next time tha' walks upon t' moors,

An' sees t' dog an' tree in plain view,

Remember that in life an' death,

There's beauty to be found anew.

I played with this for the first time today and I was a lttle bit stunned
I asked it to write a poen about a dead dog in swahili, then a other about a dead tree and a three legged dog in a Yorkshire accent.
I asked it to tell me about a few topics I'd just spent hours working on - It took seconds to do something very similar.
I asked it to write a short essay but as if a 10 year old had written it - I see a lot of kids cheating on their homework in the near future.
Last up, I asked it to write a three paragraph essay about a dog with three gramatical errors.
Perfect, down to the three errors.
I see brighter kids cheating on their homework better than average kids.
Are you using it, and what for?
-@Fred

I've asked it a number of questions, I already know the answers to, like:

Q: What comparisons can one draw between the 1968 movies of the Boston Strangler (starring Tony Curtis) and the 2023 version (starring Keira Knightley)?

Some of what it writes is plausible but it gets a lot of things wrong.  It thought Tony Curtis was the detective (it was actually Henry Fonda).  I had to be persistent on subsequent questions to get it to write a correct answer. 

Q: Are flanged bolts better than bolts with washers?

The answer was a bit weak, didn't really tell me anything I didn't already know.

Q: What is the Roman Law contract equivalent wording for "joint and severally liable"?

It gave a reasonable answer but missed out key facts. It isn't able to infer background contexts which would be obvious to an experienced human.

Summary: Its English language skills are excellent. It rarely makes a mistake (I believe it makes mistakes in some less used languages like Danish).  What it outputs is highly questionable and not-fact checked at all. In some ways, it's very similar to other Turing machines, it repeats the question back and dances around variations of the subject. For some things, it's quite good.  It would be a useful tool for general stuff but for technical work, it's quite useless.  If you wanted to align your warp coils on your starship, forget it.

I believe ChatGPT4 (the latest incarnation) is 10 x better but you need to pay for access to it.

Last up, I asked it to write a three paragraph essay about a dog with three gramatical errors.

Smile. Fred! It's not often you come across a dog with three grammatical errors!
