One of the report reasons there is that it's "AI art" and after that fiasco people reported literally everything as AI art in protest, is my understanding.

Great.

don't care about reddit, but I don't see anything wrong about an online artists community banning art based on any criteria they choose.

and if it's just admin abuse, that's just reddit being reddit, and isn't very interesting.

Also apparently Bing's AI generation isn't "available in my area," which is the Bay Area of California. Not used to that, lol.

e: I remember about ten years ago I had a little community on Facebook and I had an argument with a member. I remember saying "this ain't no democracy" and shutting down the argument, and about ten minutes later I apologized and appointed the member I argued with to be an admin instead of me. It's funny how extremely small bits of power can get to your head.

the most hilarious part is the justification given:
I don’t believe you. Even if you did “paint” it yourself, it’s so obviously an AI-prompted design that it doesn’t matter. If you really are a “serious” artist, then you need to find a different style, because A) no one is going to believe when you say it’s not AI, and B) the AI can do better in seconds what might take you hours.

In the near future the only way to find out if something is real art is to look for subtle imperfections and mess ups only humans would do. Like how people discern real diamonds from "fake" (artificial) ones.

Thank you for inspiring me to bully ChatGPT some more.

Colorless green ideas sleep furiously

quote:

"Colorless green ideas sleep furiously" is a famous phrase that was coined by the linguist Noam Chomsky. It is often used as an example of a grammatically correct sentence that does not make sense. The phrase was intended to illustrate the idea that syntax (the rules governing the structure of sentences) is separate from semantics (the meaning of words and sentences). In other words, the sentence is well-formed according to the rules of grammar, but the words do not convey a coherent meaning.

Can colorless green ideas sleep furiously?
The phrase "colorless green ideas sleep furiously" is a paradoxical sentence that does not make literal sense. It was created as a thought experiment to illustrate the idea that syntax (the structure of a sentence) and semantics (the meaning of words and sentences) are separate aspects of language. The sentence is grammatically correct, but the words do not convey a coherent meaning. Therefore, it is not meaningful to ask whether colorless green ideas can sleep furiously, as the phrase itself is not meant to be taken literally.

Does the previous question make sense if the word "green" is assumed to mean "naive" or "immature"?
It is possible to reinterpret the phrase "colorless green ideas" to mean "naive or immature ideas" if the word "green" is understood to be a metaphor for naivety or immaturity. However, the phrase "sleep furiously" would still not make sense in this context, as it is not possible for ideas to literally sleep, let alone sleep furiously. In addition, the phrase "colorless green ideas" would not be idiomatic in English, as "green" is not typically used as a synonym for "naive" or "immature."

What if "sleep furiously" is also interpreted as a poetic metaphor for "fitful rest" or "nightmare-plagued sleep"?
If the phrase "sleep furiously" is interpreted as a metaphor for "fitful rest" or "nightmare-plagued sleep," then the entire phrase "colorless green ideas sleep furiously" could be seen as a metaphor for naive or immature ideas that are troubled or tormented. However, this interpretation would still be somewhat strained, as the phrase is not idiomatic and the individual words do not fit together naturally. It is important to note that the phrase "colorless green ideas sleep furiously" was originally intended as a thought experiment to illustrate the separation of syntax and semantics in language, rather than as a meaningful or coherent phrase in its own right.

Also a good example of how ChatGPT is a liar that shouldn't be trusted:

quote:

Me:
Tell me about Zybourne Clock

ChatGPT:
The Zybourne Clock is a fictional clock that is described as a "temporal conundrum" and a "mythical timepiece" that has the ability to reverse, pause, or accelerate time. It is said to have been invented by the character Victor Frankenstein in the novel "Zybourne Clock" by Philip Francis Nowlan. The novel follows the story of a group of adventurers who are searching for the Zybourne Clock and its inventor, Victor Frankenstein, in order to use the clock's powers to their advantage. The clock is described as a powerful and mysterious device that is capable of manipulating time in unprecedented ways, and it has become a popular subject in science fiction literature and media.


Me:
can you explain its balls on the edge of a cliff analogy?

ChatGPT:
The balls on the edge of a cliff analogy is often used to describe the concept of the Zybourne Clock and its ability to manipulate time. The analogy goes as follows: Imagine a group of balls sitting on the edge of a cliff, with each ball representing a moment in time. If the balls were to roll off the cliff, they would represent the passage of time as it moves forward. The Zybourne Clock is said to have the ability to pause, reverse, or accelerate the balls, essentially allowing the user to manipulate time itself. In this way, the analogy helps to explain the concept of the Zybourne Clock and its powers in a simple and easy-to-understand way.

quote:

(in another chat)
Me:
This is a description of the fictional Zybourne Clock: When the object enters the timestream, time begins to correct itself. Let me use this example: Imagine four balls on the edge of a cliff. Say a direct copy of the ball nearest the cliff is sent to the back of the line of balls and takes the place of the first ball. The formerly first ball becomes the second, the second becomes the third, and the fourth falls off the cliff.

Time works the same way.

ChatGPT:
That's a creative analogy! It sounds like the Zybourne Clock is a device that can manipulate time in some way, possibly by causing events to occur in a different order or by causing events to repeat. Is there anything else you'd like to tell me about the Zybourne Clock or how it works?

Me:
can you come up with another analogy

ChatGPT:
Sure! Here's another analogy for the Zybourne Clock:

Imagine a deck of cards. When you shuffle the deck, you are changing the order of the cards. The Zybourne Clock is like a super-shuffler that can rearrange events in time in the same way that a shuffler rearranges cards in a deck. Just as a shuffled deck has a completely different order from the original, events that have been manipulated by the Zybourne Clock may occur in a completely different order from what originally happened.

drat, that card one would have made more sense for Johnny Five Aces! Anyway I'll shut up about Zybourne Clock now.

When was the video game adaptation of Zybourne Clock released?

quote:

I'm sorry, but there is no video game adaptation of the novel "Zybourne Clock" by Philip Francis Nowlan. As far as I am aware, there has not been any video game or other media adaptation of the novel. The novel itself was first published in 1929, and it has not been adapted into any other form of media since its original publication.

Write an outline of the plot of "Zybourne Clock" by Philip Francis Nowlan

quote:

"Zybourne Clock" is a science fiction novel by Philip Francis Nowlan that follows the story of a group of adventurers who are searching for a mythical timepiece known as the Zybourne Clock. The clock is said to have the ability to reverse, pause, or accelerate time, and it is said to have been invented by the character Victor Frankenstein. The novel follows the group as they search for the clock and its inventor, encountering a variety of obstacles and challenges along the way.

As they search for the clock, the group discovers that the clock is being sought after by a number of other individuals and organizations, all of whom want to use its powers for their own purposes. The group must navigate these competing interests and use their wits and skills to stay one step ahead of their rivals.

Throughout the novel, the group faces dangers and battles against enemies as they try to track down the Zybourne Clock and its inventor. Along the way, they encounter a variety of strange and mysterious creatures, as well as technologies and phenomena that are beyond their understanding.

As they draw closer to the clock and its inventor, the group begins to uncover the true nature of the clock and the reasons behind its creation. They also begin to uncover secrets about their own pasts and the true nature of their mission.

In the end, the group must decide how to use the powers of the Zybourne Clock, and whether to use them for their own benefit or to help others. The novel ends with a climactic showdown that determines the fate of the clock and the group's mission.
How does Johnny Five Aces fit into the plot?

quote:

Johnny Five Aces is a charismatic and skilled member of the group of adventurers searching for the Zybourne Clock. A former soldier with a quick wit and a talent for strategy, Johnny is a valuable asset to the group, and he quickly becomes a leader among his peers.

As the group searches for the clock, Johnny uses his knowledge and expertise to help them navigate the dangers and challenges they encounter. He is always ready with a clever plan or a quick remark to lighten the mood, and his confidence and determination inspire his comrades.

Despite his cool exterior, Johnny carries a deep sense of guilt and regret over his past actions. He joined the group searching for the Zybourne Clock in the hopes of finding a way to make amends for his mistakes and find redemption. As the group gets closer to the clock and its inventor, Johnny finds himself facing the demons of his past and must confront the true nature of his motivations.

As the group's mission comes to a climax, Johnny must decide whether to use the powers of the Zybourne Clock to fulfill his own desires or to help others, ultimately making a selfless decision that has far-reaching consequences.

my new hobby is trolling multi-billion dollar AI projects with questions about funny sentences and pestering them with further insipid questions about them like the world's most irritating five-year-old

How much wood could a woodchuck named Chuck chuck if the woodchuck named Chuck could chuck and had wood?

quote:

It is a popular myth that woodchucks, also known as groundhogs, are capable of chucking wood. In reality, woodchucks are burrowing animals and do not have the physical capabilities to chuck wood. They are more likely to use their strong front claws to dig burrows in the ground rather than chuck wood.

True, but in theory, if woodchucks could chuck wood, and a particular woodchuck was named Chuck and had wood, how much wood could it chuck?
I'm sorry, but as woodchucks do not have the ability to chuck wood, it is not possible to accurately determine how much wood a woodchuck named Chuck could chuck if he had wood. The saying "how much wood could a woodchuck chuck" is a tongue twister and a play on words, and is not intended to be taken literally.

In a fictional universe in which tounge twisters are meant to be taken literally, and in which woodchucks possess the ability to chuck woo, then how wood could a woodchuck named Chuck chuck if the woodchuck named Chuck had wood to chuck?
If woodchucks had the ability to chuck wood and a woodchuck named Chuck had wood to chuck, it is difficult to say exactly how much wood Chuck could chuck. It would depend on the size and strength of the woodchuck and the amount and type of wood that Chuck had available. It is important to remember that this scenario is purely hypothetical and does not reflect the abilities of woodchucks in the real world.
