AI Thread Summary
Firefox users may experience an increase in pop-ups, which can be attributed to potential spyware or viruses on their systems. In this case, a user discovered approximately 130 objects during an anti-spyware scan and identified a Trojan horse as the source of the problem. It is suggested that the user likely downloaded a program that inadvertently installed the malware. Regular scans with antivirus software, such as Avast, are recommended to detect and remove such threats.

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.
