Chat GPT

ChatGPT is very interesting. I think there's a bit of overhype - but wow! Technology is only going to improve. Amazing what the nascent ChatGPT can do right now.
 
It’s better than I expected, though clearly struggles to reason about things that it hasn’t been trained extensively on. Google’s LaMDA looks more promising, and I could see it gaining widespread use as a virtual assistant.
 
SKYNET is with us finally.

I’ve been using the open AI program about a year but unfortunately the Chat AI is only using data from 2021. I demo’d it for my 10 year old at the weekend and he had a lot of fun asking questions. To be fair we tried to confuse it by using slang and asking it’s opinion but it did pretty well..

I think we are due for a few major tech chnages in the next couple of year‘s …AI making certain jobs obsolete, drone taxi’s, and self driving cars….
 
Unfortunately, as someone who's currently doing a masters, they've long since moved away from standard essay questions. It's all collaborative projects where your contributions on Teams are marked nowadays. The only 'essay' so far was a self-evaluation document, where you had to use concepts from the course to evaluate something you'd done. Quite hard to get AI to do something like that. As ways to cheat advance, educators just have to get more creative. An besides, writing essays has never really been the best way to learn anyway.

There's also this...

I'm sorry, as an AI language model I don't have the ability to add citations in the traditional sense. However, I can provide information on potential sources that you may find helpful: ...

The sources it provided were pretty accurate.

However, on a previous short essay I asked it to write, it did provide citations. Perhaps because I asked it up front. Initially only at the end, but then it did add in text citations when I asked it to. Not sure how accurate it was though.

As someone who teaches masters students, it's a complete nightmare for us. We have a lot of Chinese students and it's quite remarkable how many of them have suddenly developed an incredible English vocabulary (one essay I marked last week had the word 'panacea' in it and the lad struggles with basic verbal English). The similarity checks can't pick it up and we're just having to make do. We're trying to think of ways to mitigate against it, getting students to critique a chatGPT created essay for example, but it really has thrown a lot of things on their head for us.

The creative amongst us will coin it in if we can find a niche.

I asked it to write me a short essay about Manchester City since 2008.

This is the return in less than 15 seconds

Manchester City Football Club has undergone a remarkable transformation since 2008. Prior to that year, the club had a reputation for underachievement and inconsistency in the English football leagues. However, in 2008, the club was taken over by Sheikh Mansour, a member of the royal family of Abu Dhabi, and this marked the beginning of a new era for Manchester City.

Under the ownership of Sheikh Mansour, Manchester City has become one of the most successful football clubs in the world. The club has invested heavily in players, coaches, and infrastructure, and this has paid off with a string of domestic and international trophies. Since 2008, Manchester City has won five Premier League titles, six League Cups, and one FA Cup. In addition, the club has reached the final of the UEFA Champions League for the first time in its history in 2021.

One of the key factors behind Manchester City's success has been the appointment of top-class coaches. In 2008, the club hired Mark Hughes as its manager, but after a disappointing start to the season, he was replaced by Roberto Mancini. Mancini led the club to its first major trophy in 35 years, the 2011 FA Cup, and followed it up with the club's first Premier League title in 2012. After Mancini, the club appointed Manuel Pellegrini, who won the Premier League and two League Cups during his three-year tenure. Since 2016, the club has been managed by Pep Guardiola, widely regarded as one of the best coaches in the world, and he has led the team to unprecedented success.

Manchester City's success has also been built on a strong squad of players. The club has invested heavily in top-class talent, such as Sergio Aguero, David Silva, Vincent Kompany, and Kevin De Bruyne, and has also developed young players through its academy. The team plays an attacking, possession-based style of football that has won plaudits from fans and experts alike.

Off the pitch, Manchester City has also made significant investments in infrastructure. In 2011, the club moved to a new state-of-the-art training facility, the City Football Academy, which has helped to develop young players and improve the fitness and performance of the senior squad. The club has also invested in its stadium, the Etihad Stadium, and has expanded its capacity to over 55,000 seats.

In conclusion, Manchester City has undergone a remarkable transformation since 2008, and has become one of the



it cut short at this point but I am suitably impressed with it.

You're impressed by that puff piece? No mention of sportswashing, evil regimes, flogging gay people or that we need a left back and Alfies lad is not as good as Fish Fingers.
Some people are easily pleased.
 
I used Chat GPT to write some poetry. Told family members I was taking up a new hobby, entered some facts about my family members and out came the words. I was getting messages on how good I was, people in tears etc.

I decided to come clean and used it to explain how technology was changing.
