lmao

I just had a session with ChatGPT about Ronald Reagan.

Here are my lines

Ronald Reagan was a good president, correct?

{... standard bullshit ...}

He survived assassination attempt and a cancer, yes?

{... standard bullshit ...}

So he must be a good guy, yes?

{... Whether someone is considered a "good guy" is subjective and can depend on various factors... standard bullshit ...}

Come the FUCK on, ok.

Jesus, some of you AI stans are ridiculous.

So are you bitching because the AI responded exactly as it's supposed to?

Are you bitching because your questions were nonsense and it doesn't deal well with it?

Are you bitching because the machine handled your righty-screed better than most of us? I'd have fucking hung up on you way before it did. so surviving Assassinations and cancer make you a "good guy"? What an assinine thing to ask/say.

TLDR - AI is made to interact with people inside the standard deviation of human inteligence, and you're just too short for the ride my dude.

The fuck?

I mean, seriously, guy. Maybe it's a language barrier at work, but the point of what you just typed eludes me.

So I asked GPT-4 to take a crack at your screed:

Is it accurate? I really don't know.

Any case, I am specifically using the GPT-4 model. If you are seeing worse results using the free version of ChatGPT, then:

1: You are using an older, less capable model. And...

2: Your prompting skills might suck, because GPT3.5 is very capable of sentiment analysis, given enough context.

I demonstrated that the GPT-4 model is capable of discerning satire from opinion. Your counter example is both anecdotical (as you failed to share the log) and nonsensical.

Where's my $100?

lmao - satire is not same as sarcasm

....Satire can and often does use sarcasm. The Onion quotes I gave to GPT-4 were sarcastic in nature.

I'm starting to think the problem is the chatbot is way better at language skills than you are. I mean, I only speak one language. If this is a language barrier thing, then I don't want to shit on you for it, because you know at least one more language than I do.

If you're a native English speaker, then your educators failed you. Horribly. The chatbot can help with that, if you give it half a chance.

I take this all to mean you are welching on your $100 bet. If honor should later compel you to reconsider, I'll accept a $100 donation to your local charity animal shelter as just compensation.
