Like I said, try asking it if various historical figures are worse than Hitler. It is instructed not to judge. BTW, here's ChatGPT on Hitler vs Musk. > Who had a more negative impa…

Everyone is up in arms about the Gemini image generator, forgetting that it is not a search engine. It is generative AI, creating something new and random, every time. It is genera…

I'm curious how this view works out when trouble comes up. If you have a friend going through a rough time for a few months or years, do you just say I'm not going to get caught up…
