The challenge was to write that description based just on a single photograph. That was a bridge too far; it could tell it was a bicycle, and the photo I fed it was indeed of a meticulously maintained bike in original condition. But first it confused it with my Ritchey (which it has seen), then when asked to identify it said it was a Bridgestone. Had to tell it the year and model number, and prompt it for detail a couple of times, so it wasn't quite as easy as uploading a photo, but I was able to interact with it in natural language. EG "Alex, can you include some information about the history of the bike? And also any information you can glean from reviews?" (It likes to be called "Alex").
A developer once said that interacting with Google's AI was like talking to a child prodigy. Interacting with ChatGPT 4o is kind of the same except its a little more like interacting with LeeLoo from the movie "Fifth Element," right before she knew basically everything
Speaking of which, when asked to render the "Collector's Appeal" paragraph in the "Divine Language," this is what it came up with:
"Le Kona Cindercone apipou baagano. Le sappo bik velo; le san a piece de cycling stoyr. Eeko for collectors, vintage passioneeko, ka anyone sekto eeko ride on velo coba epitomizes le early days de competitive mountain biking."
On the other hand, this is how Pootie Tang would have said it:
"Sa da tay! Dis Kona Cindercone on the tippi tai, my damie. It ain't just a bikie; it's a piece of cyclin' history, wa da tah. Good for the coleptown, vintage lovers, or any baddy down to sepatown on a ride that capachow! Sa da tay!"
I tend to agree; if the Kona Cindercone isn't baagano, nothing is. I'll be down to da sepatown if you need me.
