Sleeping Cat

While my mother was visiting, Alphie abandoned his usual spot on the IKEA Poäng. He soon found a new place on the sofa beside Bhavna, occupying as much space as he deems necessary to enable his cat life.

I asked the ChatGPT AI to "Write a short blog post about my orange tabby cat, Alphonso Mango.". Here's what it produced.

Meet Alphonso Mango, my beloved orange tabby cat. This little ball of fluff has brought so much joy and laughter into my life. Alphonso is quite the character, always up for a game of chase or a cuddle session. He's incredibly affectionate and loves to be around his humans.

One of my favorite things about Alphonso is his unique coloring. His fur is a vibrant orange with white highlights. He looks like a little mini-sunbeam when he's lounging in the sun. Alphonso is also quite the talker, and he's not shy about expressing his opinions. He'll chirp, meow, and purr to let me know when he's happy or wants something.

Despite his playful nature, Alphonso is also quite the lazy cat. He loves to nap, and you can often find him curled up in a cozy spot, snoozing the day away. But when he's awake, he's always up for some fun. He loves to play with his toys, especially anything that dangles or jingles.

Overall, Alphonso is an amazing companion. He's always there to cheer me up when I'm feeling down and brings a smile to my face every day. I'm so grateful to have him in my life. If you're considering getting a cat, I highly recommend an orange tabby like Alphonso Mango. They're sure to bring lots of love and laughter into your life.

my name is blurry face

I asked the ChatGPT AI to write a story about two women and a dog sitting at lake in the fall from the point of view of the dog.

I asked the ChatGPT AI to write a story about two women and a dog sitting at lake in the fall from the point of view of the dog. Here's what it produced.

As I lay at the edge of the lake, I watch the two women sitting nearby. They laugh and talk, their voices carrying across the water on the cool fall breeze. One woman throws a stick for me to fetch, and I eagerly run into the water to retrieve it. The other woman watches with a smile as I splash back to shore, dropping the stick at her feet.

I can feel the crunch of fallen leaves beneath my paws as I lay next to them, the autumn colors of the trees surrounding us a beautiful sight. The women continue to talk and laugh, and I close my eyes, basking in the warmth of their company.

Occasionally, one of the women will rub my ears or scratch my belly, and I let out a contented sigh. I am so happy to be here with them, in this peaceful spot at the lake. The world around us is changing with the coming of fall, but this moment, with these women and me, feels eternal.

As the sun begins to set, the women gather up their things and we start the walk back home. I follow them, my tail wagging, grateful for their love and companionship. I know that no matter what the seasons may bring, I will always be by their side.

More human than human is our motto

From a research standpoint, GPT2 is groundbreaking in two ways. One is its size, says Dario Amodei, OpenAI’s research director. The models “were 12 times bigger, and the dataset was 15 times bigger and much broader” than the previous state-of-the-art AI model. It was trained on a dataset containing about 10m articles, selected by trawling the social news site Reddit for links with more than three votes. The vast collection of text weighed in at 40 GB, enough to store about 35,000 copies of Moby Dick.

The amount of data GPT2 was trained on directly affected its quality, giving it more knowledge of how to understand written text. It also led to the second breakthrough. GPT2 is far more general purpose than previous text models. By structuring the text that is input, it can perform tasks including translation and summarisation, and pass simple reading comprehension tests, often performing as well or better than other AIs that have been built specifically for those tasks. ~ New AI fake text generator may be too dangerous to release, say creators by Alex Hern
