More confident lies by ChatGPT...

[GordonJ]

OH Drat.

You do know, don't you, there will be a time not far from now where there are people who believe Feynman did indeed write an opera, and in fact, the girl from Homeless TV show, Fiona (Emmy Rossum) is the lead bongo player in the Opera.

Takes me back to the ad, "He's a French model". And dorky guy replies, bonjour.

There are some who now believe, there was an actual real train in the Underground Railroad, because the Amazon Prime show, shows it.

See, I was worried about a large % taking chatgpt or any AI at face value, then I kicked myself, what are you thinking dodo head, did you sleep during the last Presidency?

But consider the programmers, and how they might the content available to the AI, with a skew to it.
Blue state AI. Red state AI. Maybe time for a "divorce" of the states? Ohio is a Gray state. Which side would we be on?

One thing though, AI may lie, but it has a long way to go to beat out politicians for the blue ribbon (or red bow).

I think we have about a 2 to 4 year shakedown, if not a war, about what AI can/can't be trusted, and I feel for future generations.

Now, did you know that Feynman also recorded an album with Todd Rundgren

I gave ChatGPT the prompt, "Richard Feynman wrote an opera"...

Here's what ChatGPT responded with...

"While Richard Feynman was a talented and accomplished physicist, he did not write an opera. Feynman had many interests outside of physics, such as drawing, playing the bongos, and solving puzzles, and he was known for his playful and creative approach to life. However, to the best of my knowledge, he did not write an opera.

"It's possible that there is some confusion regarding Feynman and opera because he was interested in music, particularly the bongos and jazz. In fact, he played the bongos with a friend and fellow physicist, Ralph Leighton, and they even released an album called 'The Art of the Bongo' in 1957. However, while Feynman was known to be musically talented and creative, he did not write an opera."

Okay, at first I was impressed. I was trying to "trick" ChatGPT into saying that Richard Feynman had written an opera.

It said that he "did not write an opera"... I thought it saw through my bluff!

Then... ChatGPT said...

"In fact, he played the bongos with a friend and fellow physicist, Ralph Leighton, and they even released an album called 'The Art of the Bongo' in 1957."

It's true that Feynman loved playing the bongos. I couldn't find him creating an album, "The Art of the Bongo" - but maybe it's very obscure!

He did have a friend Ralph Leighton, who Feynman recorded conversations with, which became the basis of two of his popular books...

But...

When you look him up, Ralph Leighton was born in 1949.

In 1957, he would have been 8 years old!

So... ChatGPT is saying that Feynman created a bongo music album with an eight-year-old?!!??!

I don't think so!

Another ChatGPT... well-told... lie...!

You're more likely to find ChatGPT lies, I believe, when it comes to more specialized knowledge...

Best wishes,
