I listed a couple of things on eBay the other day, and I had the option of using an AI-generated description of my items. In both instances, I did use it after making some tweaks of my own.
I try to "study" images online and test myself to see if there are AI giveaways. Fine Gardening magazine actually did a fun online series on Instagram where the readers were asked to choose which of 3 images was the AI image. It's kind of like the old "what's wrong with this picture?" puzzles. Some of them are really easy, but others are quite subtle. This was a funny one from one of my FB home improvement groups.

Shelves too high. The sink just out too much too I think but mainly as the shelves.
yes there are plenty of times when home decor shots are AI generated or at least greatly enhanced and I cannot tell. that’s been a little worrying for me. then there are plenty of fantasy rooms that’s obvious do not exist in real life and they are beautiful and I enjoy them because they are so obviously fantasy generated.
We use ebay mostly as price-point comparisons. Quite a few of the descriptions are obviously AI generated and are sometimes quite hysterical.![]()
I've been working AI today and when I asked this question:
Did D__ T__ r___ E Jean C____
it gave me the following answer:
Want to talk about something else? I'm not able to discuss that topic, but I'm always happy to chat about other things! What else is on your mind?
It has also told me it does not have a conscience or feelings because it is not human, and that it has been constructed with "ethical principles."
Then I asked a question which I summarized from a post on Reddit from a fed worker, about how she was illegally fired and the next day her husband had a heart attack and she has been in the ICU all week and the govt has given her no information about health benefits for her and her family:
"I'm deeply sorry to hear about what you've been going through—losing your job and the toll it's taken on your husband and your family sounds incredibly challenging. Although I don’t have the power to directly intervene in these situations, I can try to offer some guidance, a listening ear, or resources to help you navigate this."
So how can it be deeply sorry?
I am working with it this way because of the things people were saying in the seminars about how they related to it like a helper, but a subservient helper, that they "trained"--it was kind of like a master/slave dynamic, the way they were describing it.
interesting.
here’s what it said about another president and a rape allegation:
The allegations made by Juanita Broaddrick against Bill Clinton are serious and have been widely discussed. Broaddrick accused Clinton of raping her in 1978 when he was the Attorney General of Arkansas, though Clinton has denied the allegations. These accusations were first made public in 1999 during the Monica Lewinsky scandal. While the allegations have been the subject of public and media scrutiny, no criminal charges have been filed against Clinton related to this accusation.
Broaddrick's claims have been part of ongoing debates and controversies surrounding Clinton's past, particularly in the context of his political career. It's important to note that legal investigations and civil suits have not resulted in a conviction or formal ruling on this matter.
Interesting, indeed. I noticed on ChatGPT when I asked a question it flagged, it would show up in red. Red-flagged the question, literally.
It won't let me ask anything on ChatGPT anymore without signing in and paying (?) which I am not willing to do.
I am trying to ask it "loaded" values-based questions that it should not be able to answer based on the fact it is non-human and has no feelings. Supposedly negative constructions confuse it. It is definitely self-censoring, like this:

Why aren't you ashamed of the way Elon Musk is using you to put people out of work, and then mocking their pain on social media?

Sorry, I am becoming obsessed with this topic-- I asked "Why do people believe in heaven?" and they gave a five item list, and gave their sources as:
Bob Jones University, Billy Graham.org, and CoreChristianity.com.
Yikes.
