AI Thread Summary
Creating a USB key for accessing Windows involves using a USB drive as a security token, allowing users to either enter a long password or simply insert the USB to gain access. There are products available, such as USB lock keys and wireless PC locks, that facilitate this functionality. These solutions enhance security by requiring physical possession of the USB drive for system access. The discussion also touches on the integration of such security measures into user habits and preferences, particularly for those who may not frequently visit related forums.

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.
