Here, ChatGPT exhibits something like the banality of evil: plagiarism and apathy and obviation. It summarizes the standard arguments in the literature by a kind of super-autocomplete, refuses to take a stand on anything, pleads not merely ignorance but lack of intelligence and ultimately offers a “just following orders” defense, shifting responsibility to its creators." Linked Example of a question: Explain Horizon in Literature (ChatGPT): Explain in some detail the category horizon in literature The concept of horizon in literature is associated with the idea of horizon in phenomenology, a philosophical approach that emphasizes the study of subjective experience. In literature, the horizon refers to the sum total of expectations, beliefs, and assumptions that a reader brings to a text, which influences their interpretation and understanding of the work. The horizon of a text is composed of various factors, including the reader's cultural background, language, education, historical context, personal experiences, and…

RMA Linked (Catriona Wallaca, Sydney Australia)  Louis Rosenberg on immersive Higher Education and Metaverse Linked Visit the Iteacher in Metaverse Museum Linked Microsoft introduces Copilot in the USA, integrating ChatGTP into the Office Apps … This is an amazing step into the future of AI and Work. Watch the recent demo here … Linked Updated Thu 23 Mar 2023 by phb. Read more about RMA and the Team behind the Alliance The Team behind RMA In recent years, there has been a lot of debate about the potential for artificial intelligence (AI) to replace human workers in various industries. While there is no doubt that AI has the potential to automate many routine tasks and increase efficiency, there is also a growing recognition of the importance of human skills and creativity in the workplace. I will explore here in short the possible cooperation between humans and machines and bots in the context of future AI software and applications. One of the key benefits of AI is its ability to automate routine tasks, freeing up human workforce to focus on more complex and creative work. For example, in manufacturing, robots can be used to perform repetitive tasks such as assembly, while human work can focus on design and innovation. Similarly, in customer service, chatbots can be used to handle routine queries and tasks, while human and more creative work would provide more…

Had to sell my Vintage 1974 BMW a few years ago, just have some photos in my archive and my memories between 1988 and 2015.

Kindly yours from the Gold Coast (Retired not tired) Yours Peter H Bloecker Credit phb The seemingly endless Gold Coast beaches are still a miracle for me, walking there morning after morning to enjoy the early hours when waking up around 6am or so - no coffee and no bite, just walking for about 5km to my favourite Cafe at Hedges and then 5 km back, often in the house shade now in summer, getting very hot around 8am. Most people here walk their dogs around 7am before starting a busy day at work, which ends with heavy traffic after school and again before 6pm. Heading north the M1 I cross the Brisbane River and visit the charming town of Maleny in the Sunshine Coast hinterland for a scenic 2 or 3 day trip. Passing the awe-inspiring Glasshouse Mountains, I do enjoy the delicious local food and wine at night or drink a Pale from the TAP in the local old pubs. And if there, include Brouhaha, the…

Tja ... da sind wir also jetzt angelangt - Thank God & finally ... Kurzfassung: Wer also bisher gedacht hat, es gehe bei BILDUNG um ein Auswendiglernen und nachbeten im Sinne des Papageien, der hat sich schliesslich und endlich geirrt, ein folgenschwerer Irrtum, den jede Lehrkraft seit 50 Jahren oder mehr immer wieder versucht hat zu bekaempfen .... Meist vergeblich ... vermute ich als alter weisser Lehrer!!!! Ich muss lernen ... sieht sehr schlicht gesagt ganz anders aus!!! Ich muss lernen zu verstehen und nicht nachplappern, was Lehrer oder Vater / Mutter oder Erwachsene so sagen ...oder gar reden!!! Hier ein sehr gutes Video zum ChatBot, 15:52 Minuten, die sich lohnen ... Sagt Bob BLUME und das sagt auch CHAT, der Bot ... Linked (Youtube) Mehr dazu auf dem Kanal QUARKS ... From Gold Coast in QLD Australia with our best wishes Yours Peter and Maria Ines From Youtube Quarks copied: KI-Tools wie ChatGPT sind darauf ausgelegt, große Datenmengen zu verarbeiten und natürlich wirkende Antworten auf menschliche Fragen zu liefern. Auch auf Nachfragen kann das System antworten und so jedem User genau das liefern, was er braucht. Aber die KI ist keine Intelligenz im klassischen Sinne. ChatGPT “weiß” nicht wirklich, was er schreibt. Er liefert am Ende „nur“ eine Ansammlung von Wörtern, die er nach Wahrscheinlichkeit ausgewählt hat. Künstliche Intelligenz wird trotzdem einen großen Einfluss auf die Gesellschaft und das Bildungswesen…

Talk To Me …

Just reading this novel written by T C Boyle and on Sam and Aimee in California and the Prof of Linguistics Guy Schermerhorn. Review in NY Times Linked Yours phb @ Gold Coast QLD T.C. Boyle is a highly respected and widely read author in Germany, where he has a large and dedicated fan base. While the label "hipster" may be somewhat subjective, it's true that Boyle is known for his distinctive style, both in his writing and his personal appearance. He often wears fedoras and colorful shirts, and his author photos feature him with a signature mustache and piercing gaze. This has helped to cultivate a certain "cool" image around him, which may contribute to his popularity with younger readers and fans of alternative culture. That being said, Boyle's appeal in Germany extends far beyond any particular demographic or cultural scene. He is widely regarded as a masterful storyteller with a unique voice and vision, and his work has been translated into many languages and studied in universities around the world. my previous post Eine gesunde Sucht gleich Schreiben ....
