So without posting lengthy responses from ChatGPT, I’ll list some of the queries that I feel I’ve gotten great responses to. (In fact I’d say 90% of my queries have been adequately or more than adequately responded to.)

It looks like I’m inheriting a couple of northern CA groups to manage, both related to skepticism and critical thinking. “Local”…[Read more]

I have two challenges each time I chat with it.

One is to word my query concisely, and in a way that “anyone” could probably understand. I appreciate taking on that challenge, as I fee…[Read more]

The AI would be initialized with the best starting guess and then learn over time to optimize. The priorities need to be ranked…energy, speed, time to key floors such as the lobby. The AI would have to access the current date and time, of course and to be smart enough to disregard any periods when accurate date and time may be unavailable. The…[Read more]

Bard is frustrating because sometimes it will say something like “I’m just a language model” (which seems just a little disingenuous for an AI to say) and then declines to answer the question.

However, rephrase it a bit and then it will answer it when for the life of me I can’t detect a dime’s worth of difference between the two queries.

Here’s another example of a one minute query/response that may have taken hours to query and piece together responses in (say) Google. Using purpleair.com and windy.com now to predict, sometimes to the minute, the arrival of forest fire smoke to my area, I noticed how wind currents very often follow very closely the California coastline, in a…[Read more]

I use both ChatGPT and Google Bard. Here is the question I asked Bard followed by its response. Following that, you’ll find ChatGPT’s response.  You’ll note that neither one actually gives one a firm answer:

I keep reading people complaining that AI chat doesn’t do much for them. But for me, it often helps immensely. One or two well formed questions to ChatGPT can return a wealth of information that would take me a dozen or two Google queries to get, plus the ChatGPT response is formated, with bullet points, in one single, copyable response.

My rough notes with some time stamps are below the 50 minute long video. (I’d say skip the last 10 minutes.)

Yeah, mass media especially because that’s what the masses watch. YouTube adds wider perspective, even though the masses still fall for click-baity headlines and controversy.

Note that the following set of queries are extensive. I’m doing this research because I plan to post a youtube video that can help some people improve success of receiving sufficient signal for their atomic clock to set itself.

I estimate a 10 second to fifteen minute reading time, depending on your level of geekness, and, erm, interest in the…[Read more]

A health question. When I sit down to poo, my eyes tear up, and sometimes I even feel capillary expansion in my nasal cavities. What is the physiological cause of this?
