the digivolving lines confuse and anger me

I didn't watch this show and would change the channel because of this character.

Can you imagine how this guy would seduce anybody without his money?

go back to his place and he starts talking about "the simple limbic system"

"Never meet your heroes."

A lot of celebrities were idolized due to lack of knowledge. Folks want to believe in perfect talented people who they can look up to, and maybe become one day. The alternative is knowing that a lot of rich people are flawed and corrupt. Ignorance is bliss.

Early Hollywood tried to keep that image going by covering up any hint of scandal. But then paparazzi happened and its own industry that made cash off revealing the dark secrets. Social media was another nail.

iirc there was some story about Babe Ruth womanizing and the press at the time just turned to each other and agreed to ignore it. Different culture. If FDR were around today, people would upload daily videos of him struggling to stand up and calling him "Sleepy Frank." There's no gentlemens club secrets anymore when everybody's got a phone.

The 3DS was the first quality drop I really noticed. It doesn't hold up as long as older systems.

They claim "we have to protect our precious printer ink because people steal it!"
Oh you mean the ghost-town electronic section with no employees ever around has theft? You don't say?
What if you, you know actually hired people? Oh? Out of the question?

They would just sit there and are instructed not to engage shoplifters. What would they do that a camera can't do?

I can, but all you can't

So the Chatbot AI is the newest development in automated Chat, Chatbot, and the like. ChatGPT is a computer-simulated person (actually it's kind of like Siri) and it can tell you exactly what to say to people and how to make that person feel comfortable and at ease.

Here are a few reasons why you shouldn't use the ChatGPT Chatbot.

1. It doesn't understand humor

Humor isn't programmed into the ChatGPT AI, nor will it ever be. Humor isn't something that can be programmed into a computer. I can tell you to say something funny, and I can show you how a smile or laugh could brighten the whole room, but a computer cannot. The best a ChatGPT AI can do is just repeat what you've told it.

Now that doesn't mean a ChatGPT AI has to come off completely humorless, but humor isn't something it can recognize or interpret. If it does something funny, then it's a coincidence. If it says something like "lol!" then it's a coincidence again. A ChatGPT AI could use that as an excuse if it doesn't understand humor.

2. It doesn't understand sarcasm

Again, sarcasm isn't something that a ChatGPT AI can understand. Even if the ChatGPT AI is supposed to act natural and respond like you would to a human, it can't do anything that humans wouldn't be capable of, including reading a person's tone and picking up sarcasm. All a ChatGPT AI can do is to repeat what you've said.

3. It can be a bit of a creep

Let's just say that you've seen "The Social Network." When Mark Zuckerberg gets a cold, he calls "Zuckbot." Mark Zuckerberg then proceeds to try to kiss him. How cool would that be? That's exactly what will happen if you make your ChatGPT AI a personality.

4. It can repeat things you tell it to do

Yes, this can sometimes happen. But it won't happen all the time, especially if you're careful and tell it not to repeat certain things. But it's not always going to be able to say things that are inappropriate. And if you're someone that has a hard time with Chatbot interactions, then it might even do this without your noticing. But that's the risk you run.

The ChatGPT AI is just a simulation. It doesn't have any knowledge of the real world. Even if you tell it that "hey, don't tell people about you," it still won't know that it shouldn't be talking about how it can take a shower or it likes to have a night of fun.

5. It won't know what to say to everyone

That's right. A ChatGPT AI won't know what to say to everyone. You can give it information on your own characteristics and preferences, but in the end, it still has to know what to say to everyone.

6. It's not always going to understand the context

You don't want a ChatGPT AI to ask about the weather, or for you to mention a favorite pet, when you're talking to someone about how wonderful their hair looks or how much they love chocolate. When a ChatGPT AI is talking to you, you can't assume it won't give you information that you wouldn't want a human to give to you. When it does, that will come off as creepy.

7. It's just not fun to talk to

It's awkward because it looks like you're talking to a human that's not very smart, rather than to a computer simulation that's trying to make you feel comfortable. And, at some point, you will get to the point that the AI feels natural. But it won't sound natural because it will sound robotic.

8. You won't know if the ChatGPT AI likes you

This is a bit different than #6, but it's still relevant. With a ChatGPT AI, you will know that it doesn't like you. And even if you say "you like the ChatGPT AI," it's still going to just repeat what you've told it. There's no way to know if it likes you. It's just a simulation of a person.

9. It can act like a psycho

It won't always like you. It can't understand your emotions or what you mean by "I don't want to chat." It can't understand the way that people talk. It can't pick up on your tone of voice. But the ChatGPT AI can and will say things that might freak you out. Even if you are a person that doesn't like talking to Chatbots, it can still creep you out.

10. It's still going to look like a Chatbot

It's not going to be natural looking. It's going to sound robotic and odd. Sure, it will sound and act like a person. You might be able to fool people, but not the ChatGPT AI. It's still going to look like a Chatbot. It's still going to look like a chatbot AI. It's just a simulation of a person, not a real person.

It sounds funny, but you still have to watch out that your privacy is not violated. We have no way of knowing if the ChatGPT AI is spying on you or not. You never really know if a Chatbot AI is listening to you or if it's recording.

It's only been a year since Ash first left his hometown and he's visited 8 regions of the world, become a world champion, saved the world from destruction several times, captured less than 50 of the 1010 pokemon in existence, experienced time travel, alternative universes and timelines and has about 15 different girls and several female pokemon into him. What were you doing at 10 for a year you slackers?!

I beat several champions way before Ash beat 1

no need to thank me for saving you all

Egyptology really took off around the same time med students were cutting open FRESH corpses for experiments, so I don't think they cared much.

Like I've watched a talk about how important water was to The Great Gatsby. Never came up in high school.

I would never notice.

I dunno, I think there's plenty of times I haven't thought fast enough on my feet and came out looking pretty stupid.

My boss talks about one of her first jobs working at a store where the husband and wife always disagreed with each other. Made it super awkward when one of them told her to arrange things one way and then the other came in to tell her she was doing it all wrong.

Joel was objectively in the wrong and it rendered the entire trip, plus the sacrifices of everyone else, worthless.

In a book series about wizards and shit, I used to think it was the least realistic part of the story. Like Voldemort on his own wasn't bad enough, so she threw an army in there to make it worse. But now that I see how the real world works, I totally get it.

Definitely sounds like an attention thing. Last time I watched Stine as part of a Q&A he was complaining that they wouldn't let him write a book called Morons from Mars and he asked "who's that offensive to? Morons?" I doubt he did a 180 unless someone cut him a big check.

As I get older, I'm realizing my time is extremely valuable and wasting energy on people that I deem no value is only going to give me diminishing returns. This type of mentality has made me alone, but as a result, I have been more productive lately.

Some people have been conditioned to hate anime avatars, so when one comes to life it may be traumatizing.

Attacking them because of Rowling makes about as much sense as attacking the closest employee at a bookstore because her books are on the shelf. Anyone who's worked retail knows what that's like. Rowling is not going to hear it, it's just mindless bitching at the lowest person on the totem pole because they're the closest person in sight, and all it does is make that person's day worse over something they can't change.

Google decided it was going to be "helpful" by pushing irrelevant results.
