The Perils of ChatGPT

[LDAHL]

So in an effort to defend Joe Biden’s pardon of his son, one of those rigorous intellectuals who staff “The View” cited Woodrow Wilson’s pardon of Hunter deButts. The problem was, that such a person (deButts, not Wilson) never existed. When this was pointed out to her, she sniffed that they should take it up with ChatGPT. Apart from what that may reveal about her journalistic integrity, what does that tell us about the usefulness of AI that represents a compilation of old wives tales, rumors, deliberate lies and uneducated opinion? I remember the days when people used to claim the internet was going to make us smarter.

I doubt the internet has make us any smarter. Society would collapse if they didn’t have cell phones to help them get through daily routines. Of course I’m a Luddite. It did probably make us more efficient.

EDIT: I wonder where trump get his misinformation. The term AI would be a misnomer.

Any opportunity to dis the journalistic acumen of ladies on The View is an opportunity I like!

I find it personally offensive for those women to be referred to as journalists. Ugh.

I don’t watch The View but have been seeing clips from The View in the last few months of this election cycle. In one I was VERY surprised to hear Joy Baher refer to herself as a journalist and to pontificate about how accurate they have to be in that role.

I don’t mind if they sit around a table and shoot the breeze, offering their opinions about world events. I mind that they do seem to consider themselves journalists. That just isn’t right.

Good Lord, this is the AI that’s going to be running the country any moment now? Look at what it told me today. If you can’t read it, it says in part “… as of the current date, February 12 2025, Joe Biden is still serving as President…”

someone needs to tell Donald Trump.

Seriously, ChatGPT is idiotic. I’ve asked three times now who is the current president of the United States is, and it keeps telling me Joe Biden is the president.

Siri knows the correct current prez.

Insanity.

It took 4 tries to get Chat GBT to admit that the current President of the United States is not Joe Biden.

So, then, thinking it had put the correct names into its database, I asked who the vice president of the United States currently is. ChatGPT told me that the current vice president is Kamala Harris.

I yelled at ChatGPT and called it a few choice names, and told it to think again.

It came back and apologized to me and told me that the current vice president of the United States is Mike Pence.

For God sake, these are uber simple factual questions. How can this supposedly sophisticated piece of software not know the answers?

But boy, it sure does know that trans women are women! It has its priorities straight.

It’s likely you all cannot read the screens but I’ll just tell you that ChatGPT is telling me that Kamala Harris is vice president of the United States and then Mike Pence is vice president of the United States because Donald Trump would’ve chosen him again to run 2024.

Now I have to wonder if I’m using some kind of hoax ChatGPT site. The real thing cannot be this stupid. Why don’t you all test a ChatGPT site and see what you find when it answer his questions about who is the president and vice president in the United States.

Here is the URL I’m using which makes me think at this point. It must be a hoax site.
