#73It’s fun, but it’s not really at all what a BBS was like.

#75Many unrealistic things about this. Various hallucinations, mistakes, anachronisms, etc. Interesting, but not the mark of an AI capable of abstraction or memory.
Yes, no BBS I used looked like that also. Also funny that it has those ASCII chars to draw frames at the beginning, but completely misses their purpose.. so much for the emergent inference. Is this 3 or 4?
It’s indicative of what I see often with ChatGPT. People asking for things they don’t know about and not realizing how much it got wrong.

#76Sidenote, thanks for showing me sharegpt... Often you want to show something and screenshots are such a terrible way to go. I don't understand why OpenAI doesn't have a share icon with a pretty print html link. Hey OpenAI, that'd be a good idea?
Just me or is scrolling/panning super broken? MobileSafari on iOS latest

#78I don’t recall chatting with anyone who wrote with such good grammar, spelling, or politeness. I do remember a lot of “shut up kid go back to high school!” But I can see how someone who wasn’t there might think this is what it was like.
It’s weird how that thing can be sassy and rap, but seems unwilling to generate « bad internet comments » It’s hard to get anything but bland content.
