If it screws up this badly on Monty Python, why should we trust it elsewhere?
Yesterday I asked it what the velocity of an unladen swallow was and it told me that it was impossible to determine.
Now give it Fawlty Towers.
“He’s from Barcelona”
Hey Chat GPT you are obviously not working properly, Have you tried turning yourself off and on again ?
You probably already know that a “Crowd of IT” would agree with my assessment and that it is a scientific consensus..
I was on a Three Stooges fan site, and one of the members asked ChapGPT about the Stooges’ stunt doubles. It claimed that one stuntman was killed during filming one of the Stooge shorts (he wasn’t and in fact lived about thirty years afterward.) It also claimed a woman did some of Moe’s stunts and that she had been a burlesque dancer. I don’t know if she did Moe’s stunts or not, but she was a fairly common face as an actrees in old movies, and was always about as broad as she was tall, so I highly doubt she danced in burlesque.
This one example doesn’t give me good impression of AI. I don’t care for the style of writing of some of the other examples I have seen.
I don’t think the issue is context. Rather than commenting on a film that it never saw, the AI is regurgitating comments made by approved sources that it guesses are relevant. Sometimes, the sources it chooses were actually discussing the film; other times, not so much.
