I keep seeing news about ChatGpt on the news and am thinking about joining it. Before I do, I am wondering if others here have joined it or have personal use information about it.
 

I was thinking about playing around with it just to check it out but as @Right Now said, I have read that it's got a few glitches. I would consider trying Googles answer to ChatGpt which is called Bard but anything Google does that I like (Google Reader, Plus, Wave etc)doesn't last too long.
 

Thanks for the replies, I think I will give it a try. There is an older Chatbot that I am a member of and play with every now and again. It is called Clever Bot and maybe more than fifty percent of the time it gives back a reply that interest me. I am wondering if the ChatGpt is more interesting than CleverBot. I almost joined ChatGpt a couple of times but backed out at the last instant because I am unsure about it.

What is it?

Let me ask ChatGPT...

ChatGPT is a conversational language model developed by OpenAI. It's based on the GPT (Generative Pretrained Transformer) architecture and has been trained on a large corpus of text data to generate human-like responses in natural language conversations. The model is designed to understand context and generate coherent and informative responses to questions, prompts, or statements given to it. ChatGPT can be used for various applications such as customer service, personal assistants, chatbots, and more.​
​
The nice thing about using ChatGPT is, it gives more relevant information than just Googling your question. Microsoft is already incorporating it into Bing searches.
 
Here's another application for ChatGPT. I was thinking about creating an software application to make it easier to search IMDB for highly rated movies.

Me:
Does IMDB have an external API?​
​
ChatGPT:
Yes, IMDb (Internet Movie Database) does have an external API. The IMDb API provides programmatic access to the data on the IMDb website, including movie, TV show, and actor information. Developers can use the API to build applications that incorporate IMDb data, such as movie recommendation systems or personalized entertainment news feeds.​
​
The IMDb API is provided by IMDb through Amazon Web Services (AWS). To access the API, you need to sign up for an AWS account and request access to the IMDb API. There may be charges associated with using the API, depending on your usage.​
​
It is important to note that the use of the IMDb API is subject to certain terms and conditions, including limitations on the amount of data that can be retrieved and the commercial use of the data. Before using the IMDb API, it is recommended that you review the API documentation and the AWS service terms.​

That's pretty good information. But it's not enough to just be able to find movies; I also need to know availability. So here goes...

Me:
Do Amazon Prime Video, Netflix, or Showtime have external APIs?​

ChatGPT:
Yes, some streaming services like Amazon Prime Video, Netflix, and Showtime do have external APIs that allow developers to access their data and build applications around it.​
​
Amazon Prime Video: Amazon Prime Video provides a set of APIs as part of the Amazon Web Services (AWS) platform that allow developers to access information about the Prime Video catalog, customer information, and customer video playback information.​
​
Netflix: Netflix has a public API that provides programmatic access to information about their catalog of movies and TV shows, but its usage is limited to non-commercial purposes.​
​
Showtime: Showtime does not have a public API that is openly available for use, but it does have a private API that it uses to power its internal systems and applications.​
​
It is important to note that access to these APIs is subject to certain terms and conditions, and usage may be limited by rate limits and other restrictions. Before using the APIs, it is recommended that you review the API documentation and the terms of service for the specific API.​

So it's a big time saver. As apposed to weeding through all their documentation and possibly coming up empty, ChatGPT gave me answers in just a few seconds!
 
Okay, here's a more fun use of ChatGPT...

Me:
Write a thank you note in Victorian vernacular for a birthday gift.​

ChatGPT:
My dearest friend,​
​
I am writing to express my sincerest gratitude for the most magnificent birthday gift that you so kindly bestowed upon me. Your thoughtfulness and generosity has left me speechless, and I am humbled by the kindness you have shown me.​
​
The gift is so beautiful, and I am truly in awe of its magnificence. It is truly a treasure that I shall cherish for many years to come. Your gift has brought such joy to my heart, and I cannot express in words how much it means to me.​
​
Please know that I am deeply grateful for your friendship and for the gift you have given me. Your kindness and thoughtfulness are a true blessing, and I shall remember this special moment for many years to come.​
​
With heartfelt thanks,​
​
Yours truly,​
[Your Name]​

After seeing this thread I tried to sign up for it <-- yesterday, but it wouldn't accept my google voice phone number stating that voip phones are not accepted. That leaves only my home land line number, which doesn't recognize text messages and they don't accept either.
Therefore I won't be able to use it.
Also it's only free for three months, so I wouldn't have used it very long anyway.

I can’t help thinking I could put something together like this reasonably quickly, and equally over the top. Although admittedly, I doubt I would be able to compose it as quickly as ChatGPT. But I don’t know, as I’ve never used ChatGPT.

Something like what you have posted here from ChatGPT might give me some equally absurd inspiration though. I wonder what it might provide in “valley talk”? Ok, I think I’m going have to join & try it.

I wonder what kind of criteria I might have to specify to get it to create something like this.

This is going to operate through Bing, correct? If so, I saw their CEO interviewed and I thought it was great that he was willing to let the the press "behind the curtain" and allow people to test it while the bugs are still being worked out. There were some results like naming a city in CT that doesn't exist, but then the AI bot apologized and indicated you should always verify.

I will definitely try it. I would like to see Microsoft get their mojo back and give Google a run for their money.

Dear Sir or Madam,

I am writing to voice my dissatisfaction with the ongoing debate between Google and Bing. As a dedicated fan of The Armstrong and Miller Show, I feel that this issue deserves a humorous, yet critical approach.

Firstly, I must say that I have always been a loyal user of Google. It has been my trusty companion, providing me with all the answers to life's questions in a matter of seconds. But lately, I have found myself being seduced by the siren song of Bing. With its flashy graphics and snazzy homepage, it seems to offer everything that Google does and more.

But upon closer inspection, it soon becomes clear that Bing is just a cheap imitation of the real thing. The search results are often inaccurate and the advertisements are just plain annoying. It's as if Bing is trying too hard to be cool and failing miserably.

In contrast, Google remains the epitome of simplicity and efficiency. It may not have all the bells and whistles of Bing, but it gets the job done with minimal fuss. And isn't that what we really want from a search engine – to find what we're looking for, quickly and easily?

In conclusion, I would like to state that I remain firmly in the camp of Team Google. Bing can keep its flashy graphics and subpar search results, I'll stick with the tried and true original.

Yours faithfully,
A Disgruntled Fan of The Armstrong and Miller Show.

OK! You have sold it to me. It might need a bit of work on it though, but I'm in, big time!

Sorry, but he hasn't sold me.

Hasn't sold you on what exactly?

For me I was thinking ‘sold’ from a point of view as using it for inspiration -- as a start point for me to develop further whatever it comes up with for my own purposes. Not necessarily as something I could use as is. I don’t think it’s clever enough for that.

I asked ChatGPT what scales Jerry Garcia was using in the Grateful Dead song Deal. It told me G Mixolydian, which is close. It's A Mixolydian.

AI is only as accurate as the information that's fed into it.

I took his message as saying forget Bing and continue with Google. So, no he hasn't sold me.
