Nope. And it wasn’t important enough for me to bother finding. I just thought it would be an interesting test of degenerative AI’s incapabilities.

I tried to use ChatGPT to find a song that had a particular phrase in it. I could only remember that phrase, not the song or the band.

It hallucinated a band and a song and I almost walked away thinking I knew the answer. Then I remembered this is ChatGPT and it lies. So I looked up through conventional means that band and song.

Neither. Existed.

So I went back to ChatGPT and said “<band> doesn’t even exist so they couldn’t have written <song> (which also doesn’t exist)”. It apologized profusely and then said another band and song. This time I was wary and checked right away at which point, naturally, I discovered neither existed.

So I played with ChatGPT instead and said “Huh, those guys look interesting. What other albums have they released and what hits have they written?”

ChatGPT hallucinated an entire release catalogue of albums that don’t exist, one of which was published on a label that doesn’t exist, citing songs that didn’t exist as their hits, even going so far as to say the band never reached higher than #12 on Billboard’s list.

ChatGPT is a dangerous tool. It’s going to get someone killed sooner, rather than later.

Guns don’t kill people. People kill people.

🙄

Yep.

I thought it was a great tool.

But I still know how to use paper maps and a compass. Because electronics fail waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay more often than paper does.

Get one that uses the right skin products, duh!

The spoon method for pomegranates was a game changer for me. Beforehand I loved the taste of them but rarely ate them because they were such a pain in the ass. Now I eat them whenever they’re available.

I eat most things with chopsticks, so it’s a no-brainer to extend that to snack foods.

That works as well, but it’s harder to direct in my experience. The fork+spoon method of twirling just works best for me.

Well, when I’m in Canada. Here I eat noodles with chopsticks.

Or learn to twist the spaghetti with your fork against the spoon. It took me all of about ten minutes to learn that.

I use the spoon method for pomegranates.

For watermelon, I like to slice it in a grid with a knife before using a spoon to eat it. Then I don’t need a special spoon with serrations.

Wait, genius!? I thought we were talking about Sam Altman?

Thank you! 💘

It has some applications, but far, far, far, far fewer than its advocates hype.

Worst: Using ChatGPT (In French: “chat j’ai pété”) for anything important. I spend more time checking its output and stomping on its hallucinations than it would have taken me to just write things on my own.

Best: Learning to say “no” when people ask you to do things you don’t have time to do.

It … shows the last line!? That’s a very weird choice.

Different rices are needed for different uses. Basmati is one of the best for Indian food, for example, but it would suck for making zongzi. You want some kind of glutinous rice (I like Thai glutinous best for this) for that dish. And both would suck for sushi.

Why thank you! 😆

Thankfully I live a five minute walk away from my favourite restaurant in the world … which makes Chongqing style hot pot. 🤣

But don’t worry, degenerative AI isn’t going to result in lost jobs. Any job lost to AI will be replaced by other opportunities. You know, just like how nobody was thrown under the bus with computing; everybody who lost a job just learned to code and did better!

You’re missing the point of the exercise. You’re meant to spend that billion on you and you alone, one million dollars a day, to show just how ludicrously large a billion dollars is … and then realize that to billionaires it isn’t enough.
