AI Thread Summary
The amount of data used while surfing the internet for two hours daily over a month varies significantly based on the websites visited and user behavior. Factors such as the number of pages loaded and cache settings play a crucial role in determining data consumption. For example, a single web page can average around 12.34KB, but total usage can reach several hundred megabytes daily, especially when visiting content-heavy sites like photography platforms or streaming TV episodes from major networks. Users are encouraged to measure their own data usage for more accurate assessments.

My internet probably sees upwards of several hundred megabytes a day, with all of the photography sites I visit, plus I watch TV online.

In my discussions elsewhere, I've noticed a lot of disagreement regarding AI. A question that comes up is, "Is AI hype?" Unfortunately, when this question is asked, the one asking, as far as I can tell, may mean one of three things which can lead to lots of confusion. I'll list them out now for clarity. 1. Can AI do everything a human can do and how close are we to that? 2. Are corporations and governments using the promise of AI to gain more power for themselves? 3. Are AI and transhumans...

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...
