AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers around concerns about spyware potentially being present on a computer, particularly in relation to unwanted software appearing after installation.

1. Can AI do everything a human can do and how close are we to that?
2. Are corporations and governments using the promise of AI to gain more power for themselves?
3. Are AI and transhumans...
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...
