chat GPT and other AI tools

[axel_knutt]

So what's all that about then?

I came on here today, and read a thread about Chat GPT & woke. Then when I clicked on a thread about Chat GPT & helmets, I got the login dialogue box instead of the thread opening, and as soon as I logged in it said "You are not authorised to view this forum". Going back to the thread I'd just read, I got the same message. After I logged back out I was still barred, and after refreshing the active topic page, the two threads in question had disappeared from the list.

What have I been barred from, and why?

I suspect that the Moderators had concerns about today's multiple new threads and posts of ChatGPT responses. Those threads are no longer visible or accessible.

If you can still see and post in other forums and threads it may not be anything specific to you.

I've just had the same although I was "guilty" of posting in the Helmet ChatGPT thread. I even have a notification of an unread reply.
Were the multiple threads all started by the same person ?

Four threads were started using AI generated posts, all of which have been removed. I think some rules will be needed regarding use of AI generated material in posts, but for the time being please do not use AI to generate posts, especially not for a new thread.

Thankyou, slowster.

The general explanation is that the moderators etc., have always had a section of the forum which is only visible to them, which is why it's normal to be unaware of its existence. If you try to edit a post they have parked there, it seems you now see this message. (I'm not sure but I fancy BITD you didn't see this message, even though the section of the forum was always there.)

AIUI, this occurs in two circumstances

1. When the moderators are reflecting how to act and "park" a thread pro tem

2 If the moderators want to record their actions for later reference

I’m totally ignorant of AI I’ve no interest in it.
For clarification do you mean the AI app can actually start a thread? Or is it the case a human started a thread with AI content?

The latter. That said, although as far as I am aware the generally publicly accessible AI tools like ChatGPT currently only generate text or images, I am sure AI tools have been or will be developed that would be able to start a thread etc.

A human asked ChatGPT a question and then posted the question and ChatGPT's response in a new thread. And then repeated that in several new threads.

ChatGPT can generate computer code...

But chatGPT can't tell me where the cheapest place in my area is to buy petrol. It seems fairly limited in it's usefulness.

It's not only ignorant, it also makes false assertions. The trendy term is hallucinations:

Luck you, I often have to drive up the A1, hate it, esp when it turns to single carriageway in the no-mans-land between England & Scotland, which nearly extends from Newcastle to Edinburgh

As for wearing helmets when on the A1, I doubt they would help with the weight and speed of the traffic.

I agree. Abuse of recent lying/ hallucinating / plagiarising AI has the potential to make forums unusable. We should be thankful that the person posting today's lies was explicit in saying where they'd come from.

I started the AL CHAT to show the limitation of the process and the disjointed reasoning.

I find it laughable the removal of these posts.
