AI Thread Summary

To find files that do not contain a specific word, the `grep` command can be effectively utilized. By using the `-v` option with `grep`, users can invert the search results, allowing them to identify files that exclude the specified text. The command format is `grep -v "text" *`, where "text" is the word to be excluded, and the asterisk (*) represents all files in the current directory. This method is efficient for filtering out unwanted content from a set of files.

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...
