First Encounters with ChatGPT
First Encounters with ChatGPT
Words escape me about how integral this tool has become to me. I can't imagine going to a world without ChatGPT, and I'm truly nervous about the NYT vs OpenAI lawsuit. Below is most of the stuff I wrote about a year ago:
ChatGPT is a free and paid artificial intelligence chatbot put out by OpenAI.
To use it, click the link below and if it's your first time, I recommend signing in with your Google or Microsoft account to make it easy. Your first time using it will require giving them your phone number to get a text message back. But after that signing in is quite seamless, if you are already logged into Google or Microsoft.

Example Interactions with ChatGPT
Nik: What is "A Few Milliseconds Of 2073" about?
ChatGPT: I'm sorry, but I don't have any information about a song or piece of media called "A Few Milliseconds of 2073." Without more context or details, I'm unable to provide any information or analysis. Is there anything else I can help you with?
Nik: If I provide links, can you get information about it?
ChatGPT: As an artificial intelligence, I do not have the ability to browse the internet or access external information beyond what I was trained on. I can only provide information and analysis based on my preexisting knowledge. If you have a specific question or topic that you would like to know more about, I will do my best to help you using the knowledge and resources that I have been trained on. Please let me know if there is anything else I can assist you with.

The center aims to preserve and interpret the history and heritage of Black Loyalists, who were African Americans who fought on the side of the British during the American Revolutionary War and were subsequently resettled in Nova Scotia and other parts of British North America as part of the Crown's promise of freedom.
The center is housed in a restored historic building that was once the home of a Black Loyalist family, and it features exhibits and interactive displays that explore the experiences of Black Loyalists and their contributions to the development of Canada.
