Colour me surprised. An IT related search will generally end up with loads of returns that lead to AI generated wankery.

For example, suppose you wish to back up switch configs or dump a file or whatever and tftp is so easy and simple to setup. You'll tear it down later or firewall it or whatever.

So a quick search "linux tftp serevr" gets you to say: https://thelinuxcode.com/install_tftp_server_ubuntu/

All good until you try to use the --create flag which should allow you to upload to the server. That flag is not valid for tftp-hpa, it is valid on tftpd (another tftp daemon)

That's a hallucination. Hallucinations are fucking annoying and increasingly prevalent. In Windows land the humans hallucinate - C:\ SFC /SCANNOW does not fix anything except for something really madly self imposed.

I was able to get pretty close with chatgpt: https://rr.judge.sh/Commabutterfly/76b34e/nmwguWGt8pIe.jpg > create a picture of scrabble pieces strewn on a table, with a closeup of a line of scrabble letters spelling "CHATGPT" on top of them. photographic, realistic quality, maintain realism and believability

I prefer yours. Better lighting.

The points on all the tiles are messed up and there are tiles with random squiggles where there should be letters...

I appreciate that, appropriately, the article image is not AI-generated.

The number markings on the Scrabble pieces are nonsensical, the wooden ground looks like plastic, there are strange artifacts like the white smudge on the edge of the “E” tile in the front, and so on.

AI-generated images are clearly identifiable as such, and it just gets annoying to continually see those desultory fabrications.

You can get much better results with Ideogram 2 (also free): https://ideogram.ai/assets/image/lossless/response/vF81gKjHS... https://ideogram.ai/assets/image/lossless/response/EcRpDLumS... Almost the same prompt.

Great tip. The text handling here is far superior.

The “1”s are still inconsistent, and of course the numbers are all wrong.

Just because ChatGPT was used to help write a paper doesn't in itself mean that the data or findings are fabricated.

True. I am seeing chatgpt used by my colleagues (mostly no English native speakers) day to day and it mostly improves their writing (except for those wotfd that pop up a bit too often [0] like utilize [1]). So not all bad.

I am also hearing that a lot of reviewers and readers use it though. So we are often joking that PhD students (in CS) nowadays only write bullet point from their research. Generate prose that is used to generate bullet points.

It's funny you mention this because yesterday I had it write me a shell script to set up a TFTP server from scratch. I had it walk me through the process first, then said "ok now make that into a script." And it did and it works.
