AI Thread Summary
Finding expired Craigslist ads can be challenging, as once they are deleted, they are typically not archived.

Users are encouraged to try Google searches for unique phrases from the ad, as Google may have cached a copy. However, the general consensus is that once an ad is removed from Craigslist, it is usually lost permanently.

Once things like that are deleted, they're most likely gone, content like that is not worth anyone archiving.

Last night I had four docs with a red circle, one with blue. When I closed the blue and opened it again it was red. Today I have 3...

Thread 'ChatGPT Examples, Good and Bad'

I've been experimenting with ChatGPT. Some results are good, some very very bad. I think examples can help expose the properties of this AI. Maybe you can post some of your favorite examples and tell us what they reveal about the properties of this AI. (I had problems with copy/paste of text and formatting, so I'm posting my examples as screen shots. That is a promising start. :smile: But then I provided values V=1, R1=1, R2=2, R3=3 and asked for the value of I. At first, it said...
