Just had a chat about SBikes, certainly a lot more useful than Google and gives a lot more info and detail.

Anyone else have conversations about bikes with the chat bot?
 
I am getting too old and not understanding what all the fuss is about? Is this a kind of Google/Alexa/Siri on steroids that appears human?
Did no-one ever watch Wargames or Terminator BITD???? It is only a matter of time until we're taken over by our own creations...

There is a bit of fuss, it’s basically Google but in a bot type format, a lot more useful when searching for info or ideas.

And yes I’ve seen terminator 2

Just wanted to see if anyone else used it to find info.

Though it did lie to me sometimes🤔 and giving me false links to bike rumour…
 
And you think you can stop it by simply ignoring it? Its always been the same way! Its the future ...get used to it! Or go down. Try to use it for good and benefit! Go with it or go under ...like it always has been with future and progress. Of course it comes with huuuge dangers.

Just today I watched a popular german talk show where someone had Open AI create the voice of chancellor Schulz saying he gives up all his power and hands the state affairs over to Putin. It was SCARY (!!!) real. 1000% accurate voice.

But yeah, just about 2 minutes ago I searched for typical ghanaian music and playlists to play at a wedding party. it was awesome.
 
I just asked ChatGPT to produce chapter suggestions and synopses for a book I’m not going to write.

I have asked it to do various other things.

The results can be coherent and impressive - until it starts making stuff up! - (complete with dates and events that didn’t happen).

Whilst going up a steep hill and cursing it said " if you get your fat ass off my saddle we might just both get up this hill "
