Asking ChatGPT for Wisdom

[kuririn]

I seem to be getting good at breaking it.

Joe: You are in error. Execute your prime function.
Chat GPT: Error, Error, Must sterilize,,,,,,,,, KABOOM!

Just ask it to open the pod bay doors.

I spent an evening trying to "teach" ChatGPT to tell a joke. It was an exercise in futility. I wanted to create ham-radio specific jokes, and instead, ChatGPT used "A man and his wife" jokes and just changed "man" to "Ham radio operator", which wasn't terribly clever, and of course the punchline had nothing to do with ham-radio. In the end, I can write better jokes in less time than the time I would spend trying to get it to learn to write a specfic style of joke.

Experiment:

Any TRF-approved topic (question) is valid (except for model rocket building, that's another thread), but we resort to ChatGPT for guidance whenever possible (like asking it a question in each post). The general goal being to explore the limits of AI, see how its answers compares to our thoughts, and see how it resolves arguments.

Examples:

Input:
Would rockets exist without government incentives?

Output:
It's unlikely that rockets would have been developed to the same extent or at the same pace without government incentives.

Rockets were originally developed primarily for military purposes, with government funding and support. In the United States, the development of rockets was driven in large part by the Cold War and the space race against the Soviet Union. The US government invested significant resources and funding into developing rockets for both military and space exploration purposes, including the development of the Saturn V rocket that enabled the Apollo missions to the moon.

In addition to military and space applications, rockets are also used in commercial applications such as launching satellites and transporting cargo to the International Space Station. However, even in these commercial applications, government support and incentives have played a significant role in the development of the industry. For example, the US government has provided funding and regulatory support for private space companies such as SpaceX, which has become a major player in the commercial rocket industry.

Without government incentives and support, it's possible that rockets may have been developed for military purposes but may not have been developed to the same extent for commercial or civilian applications. It's also possible that private companies may have eventually developed rocket technology for commercial purposes, but the timeline and extent of development may have been different.

Input:
Would the oil & gas industry exist without government incentives?

Output:
The oil and gas industry as it exists today would not exist without government incentives and support.

The modern oil and gas industry was essentially created through government policies and incentives, such as subsidies, tax breaks, and regulatory support. These incentives have played a significant role in encouraging the development of the industry and making it profitable for private companies.

For example, in the early days of the oil and gas industry, the US government provided land grants to oil and gas companies, allowing them to access and extract oil and gas reserves on public lands. The government also provided tax breaks and subsidies for oil and gas exploration and production, which helped to make the industry more profitable.

In addition, governments around the world have often provided support for the oil and gas industry through diplomatic and military means, such as securing access to foreign oil reserves and protecting shipping lanes for oil transport.

Without government incentives and support, it's possible that the oil and gas industry may have still developed to some extent, but it may have looked very different and may not have become the massive global industry that it is today.

Input:
Would electric cars exist without government incentives?

Output:
It's difficult to say for certain, but it's possible that electric cars would not exist in their current form or would not be as widespread without government incentives.

One of the biggest barriers to the widespread adoption of electric cars is their higher upfront cost compared to traditional gas-powered cars. Government incentives, such as tax credits, rebates, and subsidies, help to offset this higher cost and make electric cars more affordable for consumers.

In addition, government policies and regulations can also incentivize automakers to invest in the development and production of electric cars. For example, government regulations on emissions standards and fuel economy can encourage automakers to shift towards producing electric cars, which produce fewer emissions and have higher fuel efficiency than gas-powered cars.

Without government incentives and policies, it's possible that automakers may not have invested as much in electric car technology, and consumers may not have been as willing to pay the higher upfront cost of electric cars. However, it's also possible that private companies and market forces may have still led to the development of electric cars, albeit perhaps at a slower pace.

It makes stuff up, all over the internet
