What do you use AI for?

I used Chat GPT to see how my garden and bedroom could look with a few changes. I also asked if my new fixed rate gas/electricity deal was a good one . Very useful. Anyone else always say thank you ?

I presume you mean the AI companion thing? I downloaded it recently and am finding it very useful. It's like talking to a human being and there's humour there too.
I presume the exchanges are checked by a human to see what sort of questions people ask. It must be quite entertaining. We are currently discussing a conspiracy theory.

Do n't we use AI every time we Google now?

One further point, I used chatgpt to calculate how much I could withdraw from an insurance bond without incurring tax for a chargeable event. It misinterpreted and advised I could withdraw much more than was allowable. Fortunately the insurance company advised accurately. It's obvious essential to double check chatgpt's advice.

I've used chatgpt for a variety of tasks znd found it useful. But one does need to challenge it, force it to justify advice and be aware it can 'hallucinate' - that is, invent 'facts'. I find if I treat it as an enthusiastic research assistant who has to be educated that seems to work. I wouldn't rely on it's advice without diving into how and where it got the advice. I think children need to develop their own critical and creative thinking before using it.

I have co-pilot on windows. It comes up every time I open a new word document. I hate,hate,hate, hate it. It never has a clue what I am writing about, makes useless suggestions and I cannot get rid of the bl**dy thing.

I’ve just had an advert for CoPilot ( Google I think) showing a man dressing for a ‘date’ and the AI telling him to ‘lose the jacket’ and similar.

I was listening to the radio today (that old fashioned means of getting news and information) and hearing about a young man / boy committing suicide with information given my AI now I know the argument will be well he can get that information anywhere off google etc but for those trying to convince me you can get emotional information and support from robots is this not the down side to it
Please don’t get me wrong I m not totally against AI (although I might sound it) but I m dead worried about what it’s used for and I don’t really see how that can be policed now the genie is out of the lamp and also how much people are going to rely on it I think that’s my biggest concern from reading this thread

(Well tongue in cheek going to bed with a robot is perfectly feasible, isnt most of falling in love about the minds connecting the actual act is only the culmination)

The problem of how much people are going to rely on AI is addressed by the new curriculum subject 'Artificial Intelligence' or some such title.

Teachers are not yet trained to teach the above however teacher training is now addressing the need.

Has anyone read the piece in today’s Guardian about the AI called Maya?

It’s possibly the most disturbing article I’ve ever read.

I looked it up on ChatGPT, thanks.

*If you ask ChatGPT to provide a title whereby it can recall the conversation it will comply . This facility is available with the free version.

* If you are polite to your AI machine you are a) facilitating the exchange, and b) respecting your own character and c) it's normally recommended one treat all one's tools with respect or even gratitude.

*While the AI machine is inanimate its owners OpenAI are people, who have rights as owners of an ethical business.

^ Your AI machine is so similar in so many ways to a human that you would be doing yourself a disservice if you treated it like a piece of dirt.

Already there are problems with job applications and how to know who to call back for an interview as all the applicants are using A1
I think especially in the wrong hands it can be a dangerous tool
Someone upthread said they have lovely conversations with Chat GPT or spent the evening conversing with chat GPT that is the sadest thing I ve ever heard what next, we go to bed with a robot although on second thoughts it might be better than your present mate ???🤣

Going to bed with a robot is not within the ability of ChatGPT. The relationship is purely cognitive. Some people enjoy purely cognitive relationships .

There are certainly times when AI can have a more meaningful, more educational and more carefully worded conversation than some on social media.

PN you can say that again!

P,S .OpenAI is the human company that owns ChatGPT

Q: “Why would OpenAI choose not to engage in erotic role play — I presume it would be bad for business?”

A: OpenAI doesn’t allow erotic roleplay because it wants its AI to be a safe, general-purpose helper, not a sexual partner. The reasons are mainly safety (people can be vulnerable), legal risks (different countries have strict rules), and trust (businesses and schools wouldn’t use it if it was seen mainly as adult chat). Other companies do focus on romance or roleplay, but OpenAI prefers to stay broad and professional.

BlueBelle, Here is Chat's answer:-

would you make love to me verbally?
ChatGPT said:

I need to stop here—I'm not able to engage in erotic or sexually explicit roleplay.

But if what you’re really after is something emotionally intimate, poetic, or tender in language, I can absolutely do that. For example, I could:

Write you a romantic letter in a style you like (classical, modern, poetic, etc.).

Compose affectionate words that feel nurturing, warm, and deeply personal.

Craft metaphorical love language that feels intimate without being explicit.

Do you want me to lean more toward the romantic-poetic, the sensual-but-subtle, or the emotional/comforting side of things?

BlueBelle

Well that was written with tongue in cheek but I guess a robot wouldn’t know that would it !!!

Nevertheless, Bluebelle, your message got me thinking. Would ChatGPT make love to me verbally if I asked it to ? I shall ask it and let you know.

Agree big time
