No, not at all please explain why. It being overly flattering was my biggest critique of Open AI's earlier models. Yes, this is the kind of thing I'm talking about. For any quotes you HAVE to ask the AL for sources and check them. The funny thing if you bust it hallucinating, it will quickly admit the mistake and praise you for it.

I've been kinda scarce lately, because on a whim last week, I asked Chat GPT (Open AI), Claude (Anthropic), and Gemini (Google Deep Mind) to redesign my homepage. As part of the prompt, I gave it my code for the page. I fully expected Chat GPT to win as I have been using it to help me code my site for the past year at least. Chat GPT's results were worse that what I currently had in place, Claude's output was completely useless, and Gemini results were breath taking -- seriously! I was like, I can work with this! I basically, dropped everything and dedicated the past week to plowing through my site and redesigning the front end and cleaning up the back end. There were files that I completely skipped over in my last major overhaul in 2018 because I just did not know how to migrate the content. I automated manual tasks and have made the site easier to maintain. I conservatively estimate that it would have taken me more than a year to accomplish what I've done in the past seven days with Gemini -- and that was with the free service! Yesterday morning I asked it to code something and the code was unusable; designed as if it did not know what site it was working on for the last 5 days. I asked Gemini if it'd forgotten everything we'd worked on. It replied, matter-of-factly, “Yes.” I was floored and could not imagine what it would take to bring it back up to speed on the last 5 days of work. The fix was simple I signed up for a Goole Pro account $19/mt (I'd cancelled my Open AI account days earlier when I learned what Gemini was capable of) and created a "gem" which is like a project folder where I update instructions and content that summarized when we'd done over the past few days. That took less than 30 minutes and we were off to the races again. I've glossed over many details and over the course of a few days I've seen brilliance (it would do something I would never have thought of) and I've seen what seems to me relatively dumb thing; there were a couple of times we were stuck with a seemingly intractable problems that the AI could not solve that I ultimately used my brain to solve with surprising trivial fixes. The power of AI in the hands of multibillionaire concerns me far more than the Trump presidency, climate change, reparations, or who will win the next Super Bowl -- through I hope it is the Bears.

Troy I'm not familiar with MOST of what you're talking about.....but your happiness and enthusiasm is making ME happy and enthusiastic....lol. You remind me of a kid playing with a brand new toy that he didn't even ask for and got as a bonus on cozy Christmas morning. 😝 I'm going to ask AI how I can double my IQ, get rich in less than a year, and buy an entire island off the coast of Africa.

I love this both this topic and all the responses! Da Bears! (even though I don't patronize the NFL anymore) But its hard not to when my daughter and son-in-law keep sending me videos from the games! Chicago Bear Fight Song

'Godfather of AI' says the technology will create massive unemployment and send profits soaring — 'that is the capitalist system' Pioneering computer scientist Geoffrey Hinton, whose work has earned him a Nobel Prize and the moniker “godfather of AI,” said artificial intelligence will spark a surge in unemployment and profits. In a wide-ranging interview with the Financial Times last year, the former Google scientist cleared the air about why he left the tech giant, raised alarms on potential threats from AI, and revealed how he uses the technology. But he also predicted who the winners and losers will be. “What’s actually going to happen is rich people are going to use AI to replace workers,” Hinton said in September. “It’s going to create massive unemployment and a huge rise in profits. It will make a few people much richer and most people poorer. That’s not AI’s fault, that is the capitalist system.” 'Godfather of AI' says the technology will create massive unemployment and send profits soaring — 'that is the capitalist system'

Someone has to be partaking of Starbucks there in order for the doors to remain open. 😎

Sounds like somebody has replaced Pioneer with an AI entity. the BEARS continue to amaze, inspire, and revitalize me. I adore Caleb and I'm loving every minute of this fantastic season, - knowing all good things must come to an end! 😑

aka Contrarian I haven't THANKED you enough! Right! ...and I need to STOP doing that so much! Yeeeaahhh but you're NOT a regular poster! You're something and someone much much more! You're unique. A one time "Cynique"! ......a talented column writer, postal in all-types-of-weather deliverer, flag pole singer, salad days dancer, hive observer, discussion board commentator....and the best is yet to come! 🙂

Another come from behind win for da Bears. QB Caleb Williams is writing his own story up there.😎

"Thinking outside the box" is fine if you are of a mind to do a lot of work and shoulder a lot of responsibility and stake claims on critical thinking. And, come to think of it, I never met a conspiracy theorist who didn't brag about "thinking outside the box"... so, there's that. But lazy lovers of leisure like me are not so inclined. However I, too, was an avid reader, with writing skills that enabled me to become a contributing columnist to the op-ed pages of a major Chicago newspaper back in the 1970s where my letters-to-the-editor invoked so much response that I was approached by the newspaper to become their resident voice of the black viewpoint. Which I was, for several years. Boy, was that fun. 😬 On the job at my local Post Office where I passed up supervisory positions because dealing with time cards required much more effort than the job I held stamping "Registered" on the envelopes of mail containing valuable contents, along with being the go-to person for revising and editing the bulletins and memos dispatched from the front office. And tho I wasn’t thinking outside the box, - I did sing outside the building, because on many mornings one of my favorite things to do was tag along with the maintenance man when he performed his flag-raising duty. While he ran ol glory up the flag pole in front of the building, I would stand by and sing the national anthem. To me, this was just for fun, but being a veteran, the janitor took his duties very seriously and always saluted when he was done. God bless America. And of course after I retired back in the 90s, I got caught up in the self-publishing craze and churned out 3 books which I lost interest in when time came to promote them; too much trouble. Having 5 kids would have to serve as my accomplishments in life, what I achieved - between the sheets. 🙂‍ So the roles of a dilettante and wanna-be Renaissance person have been the "this above all" to which mine ownself "has been true". Have at it all you innovative go-getters. Somebody has to take up my slack. But keep in mind, being lazy may have something to do with my longevity. zzzzzzzzzzzz Being a CHICAGO BEAR 🐻 fan may just become my undoing. I might slit my wrists if they lose to those damned cheese head Green BayPackers tonight! 🙄 GO BEARS!

@Mel Hopkins it was ChatGpt

Mel Sho'll do...... Because as much as I'd love to take credit for learning how to think outside of the box, I have to give credit to where credit is due. I've been an avid reader all of my life and one of my favorite authors is NAPOLEON HILL. His work is what inspired me to start "making up" opportunities where none SEEMED to existed.

Last First Kiss by Julian Winters Published: January 27, 2026 Imprint: St. Martin’s Griffin View Book Details → The publisher just emailed me promotional info about this book today, but I was already aware of it and had added it to the site some time ago and forgot about it. When I saw the email at looked at the book's cover I could not help but think of @Pioneer1 and what he would think about this one. I could not help but laugh to myself. Of course, I'm part of the conspiracy to feminize the Black man 🙂
