    ChatGTP fun stuff

    I'm sure most of you heard about the ChatGPT AI chat, which is now also integrated into Bing search. If you don't know, this ChatGPT is much more than a simple search query - it actually generates its own content based on its trained programming and an artificial intelligence algorithm. It's getting to be a big deal now since it had been demonstrated that ChatGPT is capable of passing medical exams on its own, as well as writing full articles - which some publications are actually doing! Crazy.

    Anyway, I asked ChatGPT "what is the screamandfly.com website?" And I received this reply:

    Screamandfly.com is a website dedicated to high-performance boating, particularly in the area of outboard motors. The website was established in 1998 and has since become one of the largest online communities for outboard motor enthusiasts, with forums, classifieds, reviews, and news related to the sport.

    The website covers a wide range of topics related to outboard motors and boating, including racing, fishing, technical discussions, and modifications. Users can participate in discussions with other members, post classified ads to buy or sell boats and motors, and share photos and videos of their boats in action.

    Screamandfly.com is considered a valuable resource for anyone interested in high-performance outboard motors and boating, with a community of experienced and knowledgeable members who are passionate about the sport.


    ​I then asked it "Are four-stroke outboard motors better than two-stroke outboard motors?" And here's the answer:

    Both four-stroke and two-stroke outboard motors have their advantages and disadvantages, and which one is "better" depends on a variety of factors, such as the type of boat, the intended use, and personal preference. Here are some of the main differences between the two:

    Fuel Efficiency: Four-stroke outboards are generally more fuel-efficient than two-stroke outboards, which can lead to significant cost savings over time. However, two-stroke engines are typically lighter and have fewer moving parts, which can also contribute to improved fuel economy.

    Emissions: Four-stroke outboards produce fewer emissions than two-stroke outboards, making them more environmentally friendly. Two-stroke engines typically require a fuel-oil mixture, which can result in higher levels of exhaust emissions.

    Maintenance: Four-stroke outboards require more maintenance than two-stroke outboards, as they have more components and systems to maintain. However, two-stroke engines require more frequent oil changes and may require more attention to keep them running smoothly.

    Power: Two-stroke outboards typically have a higher power-to-weight ratio than four-stroke outboards, which can make them better suited for high-performance applications, such as racing. Four-stroke engines are generally quieter and smoother, which can be beneficial for recreational boating.

    Overall, both types of outboard motors have their advantages and disadvantages, and the choice between a four-stroke and two-stroke engine depends on a variety of factors, such as the intended use, the size and type of boat, and personal preferences. It is important to do research and consult with experts before making a decision.

    I'm surprised that it didn't say that "outboards have more camshafts."

    Not very smart, completely missed the general stupidity in the politics section which seems to be the most active section. Must have just looked at the web pages, not the forums.

    there have already been a few cases where the AI has an exsistential crisis with the user. kinda creepy really. I think we're at the point where we should be asking ourselves SHOULD we do this rather than CAN we do this?

    I don't think that is true anymore. Alexa, which is a low end unit now, can draw information from all over the internet (world). AI of today can also. Imagine what's coming.

    Chat gpt is the same it just reads what its fed and spits out the common rhetoric

    Can you see whats coming....
    Business and gov will use it and punters will plaster the internet with false data and once the false data is greater than real data the computer will give a different answer.

    Not to mention critical thinking is already a thing of the past. I can see it every day in every profession, as most are just faking it now.
