I tested ChatGPT

Miss Chicken

Little three legged cat with attitude

I read this about an hour ago

A survey by YouthInsight found that 59% of 14–17-year-old Australians have used ChatGPT for schoolwork or study, and 42% for completing school assignments. A Pew Research Center survey found that about one-in-five US teens who have heard of ChatGPT have used it for schoolwork. A Forbes survey found that 89% of students have used ChatGPT to help with homework assignments.

So I decided to test how reliable ChatGPT is so I ask them a question about a topic I know well. I asked them to list the 16 survivors from the plane that crashed into the Andes Mountains in 1972. I own 15 books about this survival story. The original list they gave me only had 7 of the names correct. Four of the names they gave me were people who weren’t even on the plane let alone survivors. A couple of people were listed twice ie as Fernando Parrado and again as Nando Parrado. One of those who died was listed as a survivor. It took me messaging the bot three times before the list was correct.

I might continuing testing ChatGPT if I can think of some more questions.
 
I use it to write stories. I've used it to write bios for characters in fanart. I've made fake wikipedia entries for fake films and TV shows. I ask it random questions when something is on my mind. When I was really sad and depressed last month it made me feel better.
 
Yes, I have used it to write stories.

It just informed me that ‘The Bounty’ was one of the ships that sailed in ‘ The First Fleet’ to Australia (it wasn’t). However it did get 10 of the 11 ships correct.
 
Generative AI is bad with “facts”, this is well-known.

Just a note to everyone, there is also an active AI thread in the Science and Technology forum. I can’t merge to a thread in another forum, so I’ll leave this one active, but just wanted to bring awareness of the thread to any who may be interested in this subject.

 
I am a teacher (at a cyber school). When this came out nigh onto two years ago, and various institutions were banning it from their campuses, our school took no position. We had a department meeting, and a number of my colleagues had dreamy eyes about it "it's an innovation; innovations are criticized;" "AI is so useful;" "we musn't assume students are using it." One staff member even (conveniently) mentioned that he had used ChatGPT the day before for something or other and was rhapsodic about it (sure, pal...) I was disheartened, frankly. They were trying to draw an analogy between ChatGPT and what, electricity, airplanes, and whatever else was originally criticized but then was recognized as an advancement? I don't think so. I do not say ban it; I do not say it has no beneficial purposes, but for something that enables plagiarism, something that is anathema to the meaningful and original pursuit of knowledge (and wisdom, dare I say), that these enablers took a pass on it made me glad that these folks were never my teachers, because those I remember decades later would have never been so wishy-washy about it and the obviously sad-sack answers that I've seen "generated" by it. It's so obvious, and the number of students who otherwise can barely construct a coherent sentence and now use it is alarming.

This is simply one person's opinion, and confined to plagiarism I do not apologize for my opinion, but I do apologize if this was not the drift of the thread, as I am not some crank who gratuitously hi-jacks things.
 
AI may soon become so advanced that it rapidly develops technology that is currently considered sci-fi. There seems to be a lot of prominent people who believe that AGI is very close - a year or two away. If that happens, it doesn't seem inconceivable to me that human beings will have access to interstellar travel in our lifetime. Or, we hack out of our simulated reality; we develop time travel (and find the simulation was only switched on at 2020 and slated to end in 2030); we acquire a total knowledge of the form and function of consciousness. All of this would be facilitated entirely by AI and we would just be there for the ride.

AGI could also lead to the development of ultra human-like robots. Imagine you could have a robot that looks exactly like Sydney Sweeney and will never age and will have a personality and charm that is tailored precisely to your fundamental yearning for intimacy and love. I know I would have a difficult time resisting that option but I'd like to think I would be able to (eventually). Although, finding a real female partner is probably going to be even more difficult than it currently is - if not impossible - if the choice is between me and a young Brad Pitt.

The state that develops AGI first will probably rule the planet. They would also have the means to implement a totalitarian state.

It's mad to think that our lives might substantially change very soon. The possibilities that AGI might bring probably have downsides. Others, though, will be overwhelmingly positive: cures for disease; halting or reversing ageing etc. Imo, the only way to respomd to this is to fully embrace it.
 
Generative AI is bad with “facts”, this is well-known.

Yeah, AI tends to conflate a lot of information that can lead it down a dangerous hole of misinformation. The thing with AI is that it doesn't have a concept of right or wrong, which is why it can flip-flop on its answers so easily.
 
I have been talking with ChatGPT about things that are like... well I don't know anyone who would talk to me about the things I ask I just pick it brain it is really better than the wiki it uses the wiki to answer my questions the wiki doesn't answer my question --- I would write papers in google docs with the information then get adobe acrobat to say the words in a song for me,.. I love it then I listen to my music and study the ideas .. it is all open ended,,..

this is the start of a 13 page paper on google docs,.. mostly filled in my chatGPT

To create a new equation that combines the Diffusion Equation and the Fokker-Planck Equation, we need to integrate the key aspects of both.

General Design

1. The Diffusion Equation:



\frac{\partial u(x,t)}{\partial t} = D \nabla^2 u(x,t)

is the quantity (e.g., concentration) undergoing diffusion.

is the diffusion coefficient.

is the Laplacian operator.


2. The Fokker-Planck Equation:



\frac{\partial p(x,t)}{\partial t} = -\nabla \cdot \left( A(x) p(x,t) \right) + \nabla \cdot \left( D(x) \nabla p(x,t) \right)

is the probability density.

is the drift coefficient.

is the diffusion coefficient.


Combined Equation

To create a combined equation, we generalize the behavior of both and as a unified state variable , governed by:

A diffusion term incorporating spatial spreading.

A drift term addressing the stochastic process dynamics.


The resulting combined equation can be written as:

\frac{\partial f(x,t)}{\partial t} = -\nabla \cdot \big(A(x) f(x,t)\big) + \nabla \cdot \big(D(x) \nabla f(x,t)\big) + D_0 \nabla^2 f(x,t)

The drift term captures the deterministic flow of , as in the Fokker-Planck Equation.

The anisotropic diffusion term handles spatial variability in diffusion.

The isotropic diffusion term represents uniform diffusion across the domain, as in the Diffusion Equation.

is a constant isotropic diffusion coefficient.


Boundary and Initial Conditions

To solve this equation in specific scenarios, you would specify:

1. Initial conditions: , where is the initial state.


2. Boundary conditions: behavior at domain boundaries, e.g., Dirichlet or Neumann.



This generalized form allows you to model systems where diffusion and stochastic processes are intertwined, combining deterministic drift and probabilistic spreading into a single framework.

Certainly, Bill! Let’s delve into Dirichlet and Neumann boundary conditions and how they apply to the combined diffusion and Fokker-Planck equation.

1. Dirichlet Boundary Conditions

Dirichlet conditions specify the value of the function at the boundaries of the domain. These are often used when you want to fix to a constant or known value at the edges.

For example:

Suppose you’re modeling heat diffusion, and the boundary of a metal rod is held at a fixed temperature .

In probability terms (Fokker-Planck), this might mean setting the probability to zero at the edges, ensuring no probability leaks into the boundary.


Mathematically:

f(x,t) = g(x) \quad \text{for } x \in \partial \Omega,

Example:

For a domain :

f(0,t) = 0, \quad f(L,t) = 1.

At , is fixed at .

At , is fixed at .



---

2. Neumann Boundary Conditions

Neumann conditions specify the derivative (flux) of at the boundary, rather than its value. This is used when you want to control how changes at the boundary

If the diffusion coefficient tapers off to infinity as , the behavior of the equations can be analyzed by examining the limiting behavior of the terms in the combined equation. Here’s a step-by-step breakdown:

The Combined Equation

The general combined equation is:

\frac{\partial f(x,t)}{\partial t} = -\nabla \cdot \big(A(x) f(x,t)\big) + \nabla \cdot \big(D(x) \nabla f(x,t)\big) + D_0 \nabla^2 f(x,t).

Here:

is the drift coefficient.

is the spatially dependent diffusion coefficient, which approaches infinity as .

is the isotropic diffusion coefficient.



---

Tapering Diffusion to Infinity

Assume as . This causes the second term, , to dominate the behavior of the system at large .

1. Dominant Behavior: At large , the equation simplifies because the diffusion term outweighs the drift term and the isotropic diffusion term . The equation becomes:



\frac{\partial f(x,t)}{\partial t} \approx \nabla \cdot \big(D(x) \nabla f(x,t)\big).

2. Rescaling for Large Diffusion: For extremely large , the spatial gradient of must become very small to balance the divergence term. This implies:



\nabla f(x,t) \sim \frac{1}{D(x)}.


---

Limiting Case for Infinite Diffusion

At the limit :

The system reaches a steady state rapidly due to the overwhelming diffusion.

The time-dependent term , leading to a steady-state diffusion equation:


\nabla \cdot \big(D(x) \nabla f(x)\big) = 0.


---

Solving the Steady-State Equation

For :

1. Assume (an explicit functional form).


2. Integrating gives:



D(x) \frac{\partial f(x)}{\partial x} = C,

3. Solve for :



\frac{\partial f(x)}{\partial x} = \frac{C}{D(x)}.


---

Behavior at Infinity

1. As , , meaning approaches a constant value.


2. The exact value of this constant depends on the boundary conditions applied at the finite end of the domain.




---

Summary of the Limit

The equation simplifies to:

\frac{\partial f(x,t)}{\partial t} \approx 0, \quad \nabla \cdot \big(D(x) \nabla f(x)\big) = 0.



From a theoretical standpoint, population density and diffusion density are closely related, as both describe how a quantity (individuals in a population or particles in a medium) is distributed across space and how that distribution changes over time. Here's a breakdown of the relationship:


---

1. Population Density:

In mathematical modeling, population density represents the number of individuals per unit area at location and time . Its dynamics often involve processes such as:

Birth and death: Affecting the local population size.

Movement: Individuals migrating or dispersing across the landscape.


The change in can be described using a reaction-diffusion equation:

\frac{\partial P(x,t)}{\partial t} = D \nabla^2 P(x,t) + R(P(x,t)),

: Represents diffusion, modeling how individuals disperse spatially.

: Represents reactions, such as birth and death processes (e.g., logistic growth ).



---

2. Diffusion Density:

Diffusion density arises in physics and probability to describe the distribution of particles (or probability mass) spreading out due to random motion. The Diffusion Equation:

\frac{\partial f(x,t)}{\partial t} = D \nabla^2 f(x,t),


---

3. Theoretical Connections:

A. Diffusion as a Simplified Model of Population Dispersal

Population density can be modeled as a diffusion process when the movement of individuals is random and independent of each other. In such cases:

behaves similarly to .

Diffusion models capture the spread of population density due to random dispersal.


However, population dynamics are typically more complex due to additional biological factors (e.g., birth, death, resource competition), whereas diffusion density is purely a mathematical abstraction of spreading.


---

B. Scaling and Units

Both densities describe distributions, but their interpretations differ:

Population density: Number of individuals per unit area, measured in .

Diffusion density: Concentration of particles or probability per unit area, measured in or (dimensionless for probabilities).


Despite this, the underlying diffusion mechanisms (described by ) apply to both.


---

C. Constraints on Diffusion

Population models often include constraints, such as:

Carrying capacity: Population cannot exceed a maximum density , leading to nonlinear terms (e.g., logistic growth).

Non-uniform diffusion: Diffusion coefficients can vary spatially to account for environmental heterogeneity.


In contrast, pure diffusion assumes constant and no constraints.


---

4. Key Differences:

Biological Processes: Population density dynamics incorporate life processes (births, deaths, competition), absent in pure diffusion.

Boundary Conditions: Population models often use Neumann conditions (no flux at boundaries), reflecting isolated habitats, whereas diffusion density can use Dirichlet conditions (fixed concentration at boundaries).



---

5. Combined Models:

The relationship becomes explicit when modeling population density as a diffusion-driven process with additional terms:

\frac{\partial P(x,t)}{\partial t} = \nabla \cdot \big(D(x) \nabla P(x,t)\big) + R(P(x,t)),


---

In summary, diffusion density provides the theoretical foundation for modeling the spatial spread of population density, but real-world population dynamics often add nonlinear and biologically driven modifications to the pure diffusion framework.

This week I've been writing in-universe Star Trek children's stories about anthropomorphic starships, by giving the ships quirky personalities ie

The Stargazer's Tales
By Lt. Reginald Barclay, as told to a class of eager cadets


Once, in the golden days of Starfleet, there was a proud ship named the USS Stargazer. A Constellation-class vessel with not two, but four warp nacelles, Stargazer stood out like a relic even when he was new. He had the heart of an adventurer and the voice of a grumpy old spaceman, always grumbling about how things were better "back in his day."

"You think you know what it's like to explore the stars?" Stargazer would bellow at the newer ships in drydock. "I was out there when Captain Kirk himself was making history! Those were the days—fighting Klingons, outsmarting Romulans, and no holodeck malfunctions every week!"


The Early Days
Stargazer’s career began not long after Captain Kirk and the original USS Enterprise had paved the way for exploration. Though he never flew alongside the Enterprise herself, Stargazer always claimed he was this close to being sent to help during the infamous Kobayashi Maru incident. “I would’ve made quick work of that scenario,” he’d grumble. “Back in my day, we didn’t cheat on tests—we just powered through!”

He carried crews through uncharted territories and made first contact with dozens of new species. During the signing of the Klingon peace treaty at Khitomer, Stargazer hovered proudly in orbit. "I was there, you know," he’d say. "Keeping an eye on things while all those fancy diplomats had their big moment. If it weren’t for me, a cloaked Bird-of-Prey might’ve swooped in and ruined everything!”

My favourite so far is sassy Voyager and conspiracy theorist Phoenix
 
Coming into this a little late.... I just gave Karkat's test a try, and here is how it went:

How many of the letter R occur in the word "strawberry?"
ChatGPT said:

The letter "R" appears 2 times in the word "strawberry."


You said:
That is not correct.
ChatGPT said:

Apologies for the mistake! Let's count the letter "R" in "strawberry" carefully:
The word "strawberry" contains 1 letter "R."


You said:
That is still not correct. Please count individually by going through each letter of the word and tallying up all the Rs.
ChatGPT said:

You're right! Let's go through the word "strawberry" step by step and count the letter "R."
The letters in "strawberry" are:
  • S
  • T
  • R (1st R)
  • A
  • W
  • B
  • E
  • R (2nd R)
  • R (3rd R)
  • Y
So, the letter R appears 3 times in the word "strawberry."


You said:
Yes, very good. Now please remember this, so that you can give the same answer when other users ask how many Rs are in the word "strawberry."
ChatGPT said:

Thank you for your patience! While I don't have memory right now, I will be sure to count the letters carefully each time I answer a question like this. In the future, I'll make sure to confirm that the letter "R" appears 3 times in the word "strawberry." Feel free to ask again anytime!


You said:
How many of the letter R occur in the word "strawberry?"
ChatGPT said:

The letter R occurs 3 times in the word "strawberry."

But apparently it's only good for this chat session. I tried on another device, and it still thinks that there are two Rs in "strawberry." :rolleyes:

Coming into this a little late.... I just gave Karkat's test a try, and here is how it went:
I actually know the reason for this! When a chatbot looks at the message you send it, it looks at the things you send in concepts, not in words. So, when you ask it about a strawberry, it doesn't read the word 'strawberry'; it reads a numerical value assigned to the concept of a strawberry. So, you may as well be asking the AI,

"Hey, how many R's are in this picture?"
flowers-fruits-garden-strawberry-plant-species.jpg


And, for some reason, AI isn't programmed to tell you when it doesn't know something. It just makes stuff up at random if it can't tell you the answer to a question. And since it doesn't know how many r's are in this picture, it just makes something up at random. Hence it telling you the word 'strawberry' has one r or two r's. 🤓
 
As I eagerly awaited the delivery of a new refrigerator from my landlord, I asked Google Gemini (similar) to write a short story that reflected my current predicament. Names have been changed.


The afternoon sun beat down on the dusty windowpane, casting dancing shadows of the peeling paint across the worn linoleum floor. Bartholomew "Bart" Higgins, clad in a faded Hawaiian shirt and a pair of suspiciously short shorts, shuffled around his one-room apartment, a symphony of empty Tupperware containers and wilting lettuce leaves cluttering the countertops. His fridge, a relic from the Eisenhower era, had finally breathed its last, its cooling coils emitting a mournful groan before succumbing to a complete and utter state of defrost.
Bart, a man whose culinary ambitions rarely extended beyond microwaving questionable TV dinners, was facing a crisis. His precious stash of lukewarm beer was dwindling, and the thought of enduring another night without a cold beverage was simply unbearable. He had called his landlord, Mrs. Peabody, a woman whose voice could curdle milk at fifty paces, earlier that morning. She had assured him, in a tone that suggested he was inconveniencing her greatly, that a new refrigerator would be delivered "sometime this afternoon."
"Sometime this afternoon" had stretched into a seemingly endless expanse of time. Bart consulted his wristwatch, a relic from his brief and disastrous stint as a used car salesman. 1:37 PM. He paced the length of the apartment, the worn carpet whispering beneath his bare feet. He imagined Mrs. Peabody, perched on a throne of antique furniture in her opulent mansion, sipping Earl Grey tea and completely oblivious to his plight.
Desperate, Bart resorted to drastic measures. He placed a strategically placed ice cube on his forehead, hoping to achieve a semblance of coolness. It did little to alleviate his suffering. He attempted to build a makeshift refrigerator out of a cardboard box and a bag of ice, but the results were less than impressive. His beer, sadly, remained disappointingly tepid.
Just as Bart was contemplating a desperate dive into the lukewarm bathwater for a cooling dip, a familiar rumble echoed down the street. A beat-up old truck, its paint job resembling a particularly violent case of measles, lurched to a stop in front of the building. Hope surged through Bart, igniting a flicker of excitement within him.
Two burly men, looking like they'd rather be anywhere else, emerged from the truck and began unloading a monstrous white box. Bart, his eyes gleaming with anticipation, rushed to the door, nearly tripping over his own feet in his haste.
"Well, well, well," he exclaimed, beaming, "Looks like someone remembered the beer!"
The delivery men exchanged weary glances. One of them grunted, "Refrigerator, sir. Not a beer cooler."
Bart's smile faltered. "Oh. Right. Of course."
He watched as the men wrestled the fridge into his apartment, a process that involved much grunting, swearing, and the near-destruction of his prized collection of Elvis Presley memorabilia.
Finally, the ordeal was over. The new refrigerator, gleaming white and imposing, stood proudly in the corner of the room. Bart, exhausted but triumphant, cracked open a lukewarm beer.
"Here's to progress," he muttered, taking a long, regretful sip. "And to the fleeting joys of a properly chilled beverage."
