Is an r8 a supercar?

The Audi R8 is a high-performance sports car that is often considered a supercar. It has a powerful engine and dynamic handling, making it capable of impressive speed and acceleration. The R8 has been widely praised for its stylish design and impressive performance on the road.



Stu
Sportscar or supercar though? It matters.

The terms "sportscar" and "supercar" are often used interchangeably, but they do have slightly different meanings. A sportscar is generally considered to be a high-performance vehicle that is designed for speed and agility on the road. A supercar, on the other hand, is typically a more exclusive and expensive type of sportscar that is known for its extreme performance and advanced technology.



Stu
So what about the r8?

As I mentioned earlier, the Audi R8 is generally considered to be a supercar. It has a powerful engine and advanced technology, as well as a sleek and stylish design. It is capable of impressive speed and acceleration, making it a favorite among car enthusiasts. However, the precise classification of a car as a "sportscar" or "supercar" can be somewhat subjective, so some people may consider the R8 to be a sportscar instead.


Dangnammit. We’re no nearer to the truth!!

Althoughhhhh…. Given the ai scours the internet to determine its truth. The r8 is clearly a sports car, not a supercar. Hopefully when the model retrains it’ll less dumb.


I thought I stopped my fun here, but then I took it a bit further…….




Dangnammit #2 I pressed it for a response and dislike what I learned..

And then I broke it :-D

The r8 supercar / sports car conundrum breaks chatGPT biggrin

The net result of all it's answers is just the net result of all the stuff it's trawled on the internet or been allowed to trawl.

So really it's just an advanced version of a search engine, giving a generalised answer rather than links to those answers.


The information feed seems to be critical though. I recall the early chat bots etc were just being subtly or out-right racist because they'd been reading racists comments on Facebook etc.
How far does bias go in everything, and how subtle will these biases be... or how will society alter over time and these biases change?

Training sets are really going to be have to be something society maintains and uses together for all these purposes.



Has anyone tried setting this AI off against itself yet. Do they reach mutual agreements on topics, or find themselves in loops coming back around stuff?

I recall reading about 2 AI chat bots that were setup to "talk" to each other, before long they had evolved their own language and were shut down.

ChatGPT as a co-founder:

https://www.atomic14.com/2022/12/05/using-chatgpt-...

Using these systems to bounce ideas off, technical or otherwise, and to create content to fill out those ideas (at least initial rough/strawman content) seems like a really widely applicable use case.

I wonder about the consequences if we all start relying on them in that way. How much are they relying on other people's work, and will people slowly stop creating software, copy, even poems, art, etc... entirely themselves?
I’d be very worried if I was creating content of any kind, especially the written word. I asked the open.ai Davinci model to write a 1500 word content piece for our business. It was flawless, took 3 seconds and would cost $0.04 per 1500 words if I was paying. After running it through Grammarly’s plagiarism app, it returned a score of 2% against any one site. That’s pretty impressive.

As regards AI in general, we already rely on it. Every product suggestion you get on Amazon is AI, the marketing emails you get use AI personalisation to select specific products tailored to you. It’s already too late, it’s like a virus that can’t be stopped, there’s no immunisation for this, because it’s something that corporations believe in so completely.

If AI is to be our demise, it’s already too late. It’s when, not if.

I tried to get it to make a World Cup Sweepstake program and it came back with this from the prompt which is pretty impressive and works well:

"""
put these teams in a list [Ecuador, Netherlands, Qatar, Senegal, England, Iran, United States, Wales, Argentina, Mexico, Poland, Saudi Arabia, Australia, Denmark, France, Tunisia, Costa Rica, Germany, Japan, Spain, Belgium, Canada, Croatia, Morocco, Brazil, Cameroon, Serbia, Switzerland, Ghana, Portugal, South Korea, Uruguay]
ask the user to enter names of participants
repeat asking for names until the user types "finished"
pair a name with a random team until all names are used.
print out the remaining teams.
"""

teams = [
"Ecuador",
"Netherlands",
"Qatar",
"Senegal",
"England",
"Iran",
"United States",
"Wales",
"Argentina",
"Mexico",
"Poland",
"Saudi Arabia",
"Australia",

"France",
"Tunisia",
"Costa Rica",
"Germany",
"Japan",

"Belgium",
"Canada",
"Croatia",
"Morocco",
"Brazil",
"Cameroon",
"Serbia",
"Switzerland",
"Ghana",
"Portugal",
"South Korea",
"Uruguay",
]

participants = []

while True:
name = input("Enter a name: ")
if name == "finished":
break
participants.append(name)

import random

while len(participants) > 0:
name = participants.pop(0)
team = random.choice(teams)
print(f"{name} is on {team}")
teams.remove(team)

Just tried it with Apple Script and it works as well. I was annoyed with the lack of a way to create a file in finder so I asked it to prompt the user for a filename and create it in the current finder directory. I then compiled it as an app and added it to the Finder toolbar.

tell application "Finder"
activate
display dialog "Please provide a filename" default answer ""
set filename to text returned of result
make new file at (get folder of the front window) with properties {name:filename}
end tell

I don't know about professional developers but for us amateurs it is amazing.

Is Hoofy on Pistonheads an AI?

I'm sorry, but I'm not familiar with a user named Hoofy on the website Pistonheads.




So, I am still uncertain whether I'm real or not.

I created a custom function in Power BI, I can call it and feed in a block of text and get a reply from ChatGPT, I ask for a particular data transformation, it sends me the right M code to do it. It's really very impressive for stuff where you can articulate what you want clearly.

Very clever and will make the owners wealthy, I expect, but could be the ultimate downfall of many jobs. It’s a conundrum- would I unleash a program that could make me rich but screw up the economy for the masses?. - I would be rich - I don’t care but really, deep down, it is a tough ask.

how much wood could a wood chuck chuck if a wood chuck could chuck wood?
nice answer smile

it said:
It is difficult to say exactly how much wood a woodchuck could chuck if it were able to chuck wood, as there are many factors that would affect this. Woodchucks, also known as groundhogs, are burrowing animals and are not known for their ability to chuck wood. In fact, they primarily eat plants and do not commonly interact with wood. Additionally, the amount of wood that a woodchuck could chuck would depend on its size, strength, and determination. In general, it is safe to say that a woodchuck would not be able to chuck a significant amount of wood.

Limitless possibilities!

In addition to replacing jobs, how about we get this tech to replace online consumers?

We could have ai bots operating online coaching / Inner Circle side hussles, selling to each other and using their income to buy FBA tat from Amazon. To be delivered to an AWS dc near you.

To set it all up, simply create some money via central banks (QE), assign to some individual AI bot accounts, provide cards for transacting and boom.

They could invest, too.

And also, we could start offering unsecured credit to them - the AI-chucky.

We could also have AI Business Managers pumping out FSD Teslas on moody PCP deals.

That way, they can work, consume and leave humanity to get on with er……..stuff?

If you don't, someone else will. AI is coming to take our jobs. Governments will have to figure something out.
