Does anyone else, when writing comments, feel that you need to add a special touch to somehow make it clear that a human wrote it?

I have never tried GPT-4 because I don't pay for it. I'm really looking forward to GPT-4o being released to free tier users.

I really value how open they are being about its limitations.

I've had the same experience. Now ChatGPT is my go-to.

I often paste error messages with context into the chat and ask what's wrong.

This is a very interesting example. I don't blame LLMs for not understanding which English text makes hard sounds. I wonder if it would get better if it were multi-modal.

I just asked Chat GPT 3.5 the following: "Please give an exponential equation that has integer solutions which is difficult to solve.", and the response is: "

Certainly, here's an exponential equation that can be challenging to solve for integer solutions:

2^x+3^y=7^z

This equation involves three variables, x, y, and z, and requires finding integer values for these variables that satisfy the equation. This type of equation is known as a Diophantine equation, and solving it can be quite challenging, especially for larger values of x, y, and z.

Nature published their last big superconductor claim and then had to retract it. Publications getting burned by these folks makes them understandably reluctant to get worked up again.

Doesn't the same apply to alcohol?

What should the headline be? "South Korean scientists claim room temperature superconductivity again! Are they lying like their last paper? Let's celebrate!"

I think this varies by groups of people and is very similar to everyone in the group having Nike shoes. It's a marketing ploy from Apple.

What if we just want to customize our home screen? I use a custom launcher which doesn't require root or a custom rom.
