ChatGPT Examples, Good and Bad
I'm just finishing up my first semester of engineering after being out of school for almost 6 years. Our first lab in our computing class talked about AI and ChatGPT, and how you'll fail and get put on academic probation if you get caught using it to write code for you. Not sure on the exact...- Mondayman

How Can We Deal w/ Volatile Organic Compounds in Homes?
I question this. Maybe if it's a humid environment outside you shouldn't. Even then, airing out your house reduces allergens and other pollutants that might build up.- Mondayman

A Physics Forum Member in King Arthur's Court
Dang. I was definitely counting on being able to bring my boomstick and ammo. I just wasn't sure which one to bring. Remington Fieldmaster or Lee Enfield?- Mondayman

ChatGPT spin off from: What happens to the energy in destructive interference?
Not entirely true. I used to use ChatGPT for hockey/American football trivia and had to stop because it simply sucked and couldn't compete with my encyclopedic knowledge of useless sports facts.- Mondayman

My list of the top five heavyweight boxers of all time
Head to head, today's boxers would have the advantage of better training, diet, and size. Tyson Fury is a good boxer, but I don't think his resume earns him a top 5 spot.- Mondayman

Who Is the Most Underrated Rock Drummer?
Alex Van Halen really gets overshadowed by his brother. I don't think he cared, however. Frank Beard is another name that doesn't get mentioned much.- Mondayman
