Do you agree with these choices? (Poll Question)

Oh lame, they're just going off of what other people are saying. Nothing is super controversial.

I think most are pretty decent guesses, the only one that is a bit iffy to me is RDR2.

True, but unlike most people on the internet it recognizes that it is a subjective subject.

It's not going to have it's own opinion

It doesn't have any of my top 10s but seems like a pretty reasonable list.

I would like to know why it chose GTA III over San Andreas.

I think they confused "best" with "revolutionary".

GTA III was revolutionary, but I doubt many people would consider that the "best" GTA game. Later games were better in just about every aspect.

Same with Super Mario Bros. and Legend of Zelda.

None of those would even come close to being in the top 10 for me.

That is a really boring list. Only one entry I can really agree with. Then again best of all time is complicated, do you rate it by how they hold up today? By how they were when they came out which is hard to evaluate 40 years later? By how "influential" they are?

I doubt people have any idea what ChatGPT is or what GPT-3 is in this thread except for Dikitain.

They're all just meme games

I keep hearing about how amazing this ChatGPT thing is and how its going to take all the writing jobs, but I dont even know what it is. Is it really that much more impressive and useful than chatbots that have existed for the past quarter century?

That's the entire basis for how AI chatbots work.

I can give you a good example of how it is basically making Stack Overflow irrelevant.
ChatGPT has been trained with a very large amount of programming problems, which means that you can ask it problems in a similar way to how one would ask Google how a specific API works. Almost all of the time "how do I do x in y" will redirect you to Stack Overflow which is basically reddit for programmers (It's not, but this is a very high level explanation).
Most questions on Stack Overflow have some power tripping mod and very low quality replies. ChatGPT will just give you the answer to the question without any bullshit if the question is simple enough.

Here's one I ran the other day because I wanted to know how to effectively split a string on a delimiter in C++:
https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/user_image/7/3/1/AAZknmAAEI07.jpg
I have around 10 years of experience in C++ and I would have never thought this up by myself (I did not even know std::accumulate existed).

Here is the Stack Overflow response:
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/9277906/stdvector-to-string-with-custom-delimiter

You see that the second example uses std::accumulate but the other responses are not as clean IMO. The highest voted option I would not even use because it has issues (read the comment about the trailing delimiter). The answer is not actually the correct answer here at all. I actually could not get this to compile and std::ostream_iterator is not even something that people use anymore as far as I can tell because there are more efficient ways to iterate in newer versions of C++.

Also it's going to be a huge vector for cheating in school. More cheating than there already is.

Alternatively, more in-class essays and oral presentations.

You can use ChatGPT to easily write a 7 paragraph essay on basically anything, it's disgustingly easy to cheat.
Especially since kids aren't particularly good, or promoted to, break the format and write something creative.

Since everyone is using AI, you gotta come up with different ways to test students

They won't. That's the problem.

You can't do stuff like this in CS which is what I was primarily talking about.
With writing at least people typically have a specific style to how they write which someone who reads a lot would be able to pick up.

Yeah this. GTA III is nigh unplayable by today's standards

minecraft is the goat game according to my son

I don't think there's anything special at all about RDR 2 that would make it deserve a spot on any "best of" list that goes beyond a single console/year. Even Witcher 3, as good as it is, probably wouldn't crack the top 50 on a serious all-time list that wasn't rife with recency bias. The rest are all obviously massively influential games that are not coincidentally also at least a decade old.

I hate all those games, and get that NES calculator shit out of here.

...ChatGPT... I really did just get mad at an AI

^seems like it. But basically it's like an Uber version of Google/Search Engines...

Any search done by these things are going to require search parameters to be set.

I was reading an article that seemed like a lot of nonsense about how much more these things can do such as draw up marketing materials and legal documents and memos and simple computer programming.

while they can certainly draw up a template it would still take a human to fine tune it. And with any communication (other than simple confirm/cancel notices).

it seems like they would be replacing many of the functions secretaries did which cut down their numbers years ago when computers became more user friendly and accessible.

they could create a template list or fetch and retrieve information or run reports but like with anything the boss or primary person doing the work cant just let a memo fly out of the office without checking it first if had anything substantive to say.

same w games game lists or sungenere game lists. Any game list will only be as non subjective as the parameters given to the ai.
