Other differentiated opinions wanted:

A friend showed me this and treats it like a prophecy. I’m rather skeptical. To me seems like somebody tries to fuel the AI hype with this text or is completely drunk with AI. It also fuels the China-US who-is-better-fight and the authors thoughts seem to circle too much around the US president, IMO.

But I don’t understand much of this machine-learning stuff. So maybe it’s me being ignorant. Still, to me reads like science fiction. How about you?

    I had a lot of fun talking to one about how we could fully electrify a hobby farm without batteries, by using a high voltage DC overhead wire on a cable pulley system. Everything from electrical engineering, to cable selection, sourcing vendors and costs.

    Mistakes were made, but it was genuinely helpful at times. I was impressed at how far it has come.

      I too tend to use it as a souped up search engine, with mixed results. I was trying to get OBS to only record my game and not my music, and the bot came up with a whole routine involving setting up a virtual mixer, which I could not get to work correctly, and with which the bot was unable to help me, even with screenshots, - it would just keep suggesting the same thing that wasn’t working - AND it was a pain to revert all the changes.

      I tried to do the same thing again recently, but just via a google search, and almost immediately found a reddit post with a link to an OBS plugin that worked with a couple of menu selections. :)
