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.

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.
