What is AI good for - Images that are suitable for screen backgrounds, Creative text work - I had chatgpt work with me on a procedure to un-mothball a starship, it suggested details I did not think of. I had chatgpt also read and suggest re-wording and correction on text for documentation. I fed it a chapter at a time and proofread the output carefully to mitigate hallucination.
Here is the text above after a chatgpt re-write:
AI excels at creating stunning screen backgrounds and tackling creative text work. For example, I worked with ChatGPT to craft a procedure for un-mothballing a starship, and it offered valuable details I hadn’t considered. It’s also a fantastic tool for refining documentation—I had it review and reword chapters, carefully proofreading to ensure accuracy. The results were efficient, insightful, and elevated the final product.
I preferred the first version.
Yeah out of many changes that distorted or outright altered meaning, one of the worst bits was that the second version eliminated the crucial first few words - which acknowledged the original post and therefore set a particular tone.
Communication is way more complex than statistical relationships between words, and I sincerely doubt that any of these systems will ever be able to fully mimic that complexity
It did add some superlatives, almost as though it had an ego.
Was this response also AI generated or do you just naturally sound like ChatGPT
Tell me more. Why?
reads like every corporate admemo. why sacrifice your voice? i preferred the original.
However, in the art arena AI is frustrating when you need a very specific image and not just a 'a tree a dog a bird and a farmhouse' AI art is getting better with text in the image but still makes some mistakes there. AI does poorly when you try to use it as a search engine : "What movie had a ball shaped robot" might bring back any answer. Warning though - AI is getting better at hands and spurious limbs.
