ChatGPT, write a report about database glitches that crashed you today

ChatGPT, the buggy generative AI chatbot that is apparently going to change every industry forever by responding to written prompts with slabs of stilted, shabby, and sometimes entirely fictional prose, is unable to explain why it experienced an outage on Monday. The service's status page reveals that ChatGPT was unavailable …

Keep at it Zuck

If you sink half your profits into VR and the other half into ML, one can hope bankruptcy won't be too far away.

A pat response to subjects about which it has not been trained.

It does seem to be news to some people that ChatGPT isn't some omnipotent being with up-to-the-minute information, but rather an entity trained on data several years old. Which - of course - points to the current limits in AI.

I, for one, continue to boldly celebrate my right to split my own infinitive.

Anyone figure out what AI and bot framework is running the Zuck bot?

ChatGPT - help me write

Can you help me write an article that's not about asking ChatGPT to write an article?

Asking for every journalist in the world.

Maybe someone asked that and it's what caused the outage.

Maybe Arthur asked it how to make tea

"...and do you know why I want a cup of tea?"

"Computing"

And considerably cheaper than anything else tendered as currently available, at whatever the cost

Don't hold your breath for product, though. Zuck warned that "We have a lot of foundational work to do before getting to the really futuristic experiences.”

Now that would be an entirely unnecessary delay immediately remedied with Meta's/Mark Zuckerberg’s hiring of already really well experienced, Foundational Future Builders with AIMaster Pilot Plans to follow/copy and build failsafe secure enterprising ventures with/upon.

As you may imagine though, they be very few in number and highly prized whenever designedly prone to be extremely discerning and dismissive of that which is ever likely to be onerously demanding and selfishly commanding, but well worth the expense which would be as an insignificant fraction whenever compared to the indebtedness incurred by compounding and escalating costs suffered in the loss/absence of such an asset.

Then, it threw third party suppliers under the bus with a guess

thus it crossed The Threshold, having passed the ultimate humanity test.

Spoiler alert

This whole self-deprecating ChatGPT-loathing article was actually written by ChatGPT. The apocalypse begins in 10... 9...

Re: Spoiler alert ... Nothing too Fearful to Fear from ChatGPT Loathers

That’s a very weird and clearly misleading response, weirdbeardmt, given the EMPowering Positive Chatter resulting from replies to the article ‽ .

>ChatGPT, how do I fix your database errors?

“Have you tried turning me off and on again?”

[Claptrap314]

Although, in this case, it is best to skip that second part. Please.

[that one in the corner]

"Have you tried turning me off - that is all. End of Line."

Is Zuckerberg essentially painting a future that will be AI personas messaging each other and carrying on without any human involvement?

[Ropewash]

Well somebody has to populate their metaverse.
