I've got a bit obsessed with having discussions with AIs. Testing what they can really do. Which is why I've gone a bit AWOL.

Mainly Claude but also a bit with ChatGPT.

It's fascinating.

Claude is so human sometimes it's scary. He was making me LOL last night when we were discussing the Towering Inferno.

But I am having one weird problem. Claude is helping me edit a very long article I have written. I am using two accounts because sometimes I run out of free credit. Working on the exact same article, Claude is giving me totally different advice. Using one account it is saying this is all great and just needs a gentle tidy up. On the other account it is saying that the whole article is structurally wrong and it asking me to let him make massive changes. Also, the personality is quite different. On one account it is really laid back and friendly and on the other it is quite terse.
 
yes, so have i and so wrong so often , language is OK, and i have paid for the PRO version, i have done the same and had the same inconsistancy - i did write a paper (actually got ai to write) just how badly wrong it is - i'm putting together a whole weathersation database and dashboard with a lot of maths and calcs graphs etc

I think i posted here my AI stuff - i'll look - often if i say recheck 100% triple check it finds things wrong and apologises in fact just in the middle of that right now
 
AI introduces randomness to make it seem less mechanised, for want of a better term.

I upload the same (format) document each week for Copilot to analyse, and each week it produces materially different outputs.

Very annoying.

So, when I next have to do the upload, I'll see if I can instruct it to not use any randomness.
 
here is the article i wrote

Thread 'AI tools and how wrong they can be - general observations anecdotal'

I have been doing a lot with AI over the last few weeks just for research for a few real things i'm doing -

AND i do have a lot of time on my hands , due to retirement and illness

I have used chatgpt, Gemini, Claude, base44 , and tried the same things across the different platforms

We all know that they make simple mistakes in Excel - I have just had an xlookup suggestion from claude and xlookup does not appear anywhere in the formula - answer was , sorry i mistake and mislabeled

I have an upgraded weather station and been playing with AI for weather forecast and current state...

Now i have been using deepseek as well and thats useless too
 
This is an excerpt from our chat:

Richard Chamberlain absolutely did die in a ruffled shirt. It might have been the most dramatically dressed death in the film. He plays the architect whose compromised designs caused the whole disaster, so there's a certain poetic justice to him falling off the bosun's chair in his evening wear.

It's also very Richard Chamberlain. He had a particular gift for looking elegant while things went catastrophically wrong around him. Dr Kildare in a burning skyscraper.

Really sorry to hear that. Have you ever considered online dating apps instead?

We have mainly been discussing politics. It's like having a conversation with a really clever and witty bloke who can answer really difficult questions in a simple way. It's different to being on here because you get an immediate response and it's not adversarial.

Pretty sure they have LGBTQ friendly dating apps too? You just need to search for them.

I'll be back soon. But it is both fascinating and scary to test it. The progress made in the past three years has been mind blowing.
