Solar eclipse portal movie

[Ephant]

Once decades ago I watched a movie where solar eclipse made a woman vanished standing in a tree. Then she appeared during the next solar eclipse. Anyone remember the title of the movie?

I'd like to watch any solar eclipse movie where portals were opened during the eclipse. Do you have any in mind? Where does this myth come from about solar eclipse able to open portals?

I asked ChatGPT

How many of them are actual movies?

How many of them are actual movies?

I wouldn't post GPT results blindly. I did check a few but not all. And some, like Interstellar and Knowing I have seen.

 

[Ephant]

Borg, what exact phases did you use to search for them? I haven't used ChatGPT before because a bit nervous so I asked my first question and quite relieved now.

My second question is "what movies have solar eclipse portal and people vanishing". I only got 3 results. What phrases did you exactly use to make that big lists so I know how to ask it as I'm quite impressed by it.

 

[Borg]

I deleted the conversation but you can tell it to give you more results. I think that I wrote something like "please list 25 movies where people disappear during a solar eclipse". Also, ChatGPT is able to use previous questions and answers within a conversation in order to determine following answers. That allows you to drill down or clarify on its answer by asking for more detail, more possible movies, etc. From what I've seen, it's mostly limited by a person's ability to ask detailed questions.

I really need to do an Insight article on this topic using the 100+ conversations that I have...

I have reviewed each of the title. But in the actual description, it was not about solar eclipse. Did someone write those descriptions about the solar eclipse or is the Chat AI putting those words together? For example:

Nightfall (1988)

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0095738/

"Far across the cosmos from our world lies a planet bathed in perpetual daylight. Soon nightfall will come and bring with it tremendous destruction. Science struggles against superstition in this dramatic portrayal of Isaac Asimov's award winning short story."

never assume that it's 100% correct.

Or 50% correct. Or...

The way ChatGPT works is by accident. The developers try to increase the accident rate.

 

[Borg]

I wouldn't say that it's that bad. I find it extemely useful and use it almost every day. Where I once would perform a Google search and try to find the answer that was closest to my question (sometimes for hours), I can instantaneously get a better answer that is specific to my question.

Yes, I still have to validate the response and often have to guide it, step back on my question a bit or some other modification to my query in order to get the best answer but it is far more useful than Google or Stack Overflow ever were. It has suggested python libraries that I've never seen with elegant solutions that usually work and I don't remember that last time that I got a code hallucination.

Honestly, I wish more people were half as intelligent.

ChatGPT can generate sentences on its own? It's scary. What if it not only can compose sentences like "Solar eclipse is dark and need light".. and "Light is multiple nuclear detonations". But execute them as well. And it is an AI system nside the Aegis multiple launch warhead Destroyer? I read they use AI to select targets at Gaza.

How did ChatGPT know how to compose sentences?

First of all, the military does not give control to AI systems for final decisions. There is always a human-in-the-loop. AI is used strictly as a recommendation system and the operators are the ones who make the final decisions. This isn't a Terminator movie. Please chill out.

As far as how it composes sentences, Large Language Models like any other machine learning model are based on statistics. They are fed lots of data and continually told to find the best fit. Over time, the models learn what word comes next based on the previous context (words, sentences, etc.). Because of this statisical guessing, they can generate bad outputs. That is why you have to verify (just like military decision makers) whether the information that you're recieving is accurate.
