Wolfram Alpha and ChatGPT
I'm almost offended by the "cubic light year of ice cream" answer from ChatGPT. It's obviously ridiculous but is also a fairly simply dimensional analysis problem. Do the damn math, don't wag your finger at me and crush my dreams!<p>I'm pretty bullish on ChatGPT and its ilk, but I _really_ dislike when ChatGPT lectures me because my request is against its "moral values." I recently pasted in the lyrics from Sleep's titanic song "Dopesmoker" and asked it to generate a song with similar lyrics. It informed me that it wasn't comfortable writing a song that glorified substance abuse.<p>I also just recently watched Deadwood (which is phenomenal, btw) and asked it to generate a monologue in the style of Al Swearengen on the topic of a good night's rest. The first thing return contained not one curse word, so I told ChatGPT that it should include some more instances of "fuckin" to better match Swearengen's filthy-mouthed yet lyrical style of speech. It refused to use that level of profanity.<p>I asked it if it would generate a slightly more profane example at whatever level it was OK with, and it did add some cursing, but not nearly matching Swearengen's potty mouth. (The monologue also kinda sucked, but that one I'll give it a pass on, since Milch's writing was pretty incredible.)
