AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around issues with playing .mp4 videos on Windows Media Player. A user received a DVD with physics videos that worked on a friend's computer but not on theirs. Troubleshooting efforts on the Windows site were unsuccessful, leading to speculation about the need for a specific MP4 codec. Suggestions include manually installing the codec and trying alternative media players, such as Winamp, which may have the necessary codecs to play the videos correctly. The conversation highlights compatibility issues with Windows Media Player and the importance of using the right software for video playback.

Umm my friend recently gave me a DVD with some physics videos on it that he thought that i should watch i got back to my room and the vids didnt work but then he tried it on his computer which also had windows media player and it worked perfectly so i don't really understand what is happening.

Thread 'ChatGPT Examples, Good and Bad'

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.
