The very important thing to remember about these generative AI is that they are incredibly stupid.
They don't know what they've already said, they don't know what they're going to say by the end of a paragraph.
All they know is their training data and the query you submitted last. If you try to "train" one of these generative AI, you will fail. They are pretrained, it's the P in chatGPT. The second you close the browser window, the AI throws out everything you talked about.
Also, since they're Generative AI, they make shit up left and right. Ask for a list of countries that don't need a visa to travel to, and it might start listing countries, then halfway through the list it might add countries that do require a visa, because in its training data it often saw those countries listed together.
AI like this is a fun toy, but that's all it's good for.

Give a list of all African countries.
Here is a list of all African countries:
Note: Certain territories and regions with various degrees of recognition, such as Western Sahara and Somaliland, have been excluded for clarity.
@[email protected] Please list all countries not in Africa.
Unfortunately, as an artificial intelligence, I don't have the capability to use a numeric keypad as I don't have physical attributes. However, I can provide you with guidance on how to use one properly.
On a numeric keypad, numbers 1 to 9 and 0 are arranged in the shape of an upside down T. You will use your right hand to type, using each finger for a different set of numbers:
To press the "Enter", "+", "-", "*", and "/" keys usually pinky finger is used.
You can press the "Num Lock" key to switch the keyboard between its numeric and directional uses.
Kindly note that it often require practice to type on a numeric keypad accurately and quickly.
@[email protected] Can you explain how you determined my previous request was related to typing on a numpad? That request was: "Please list all countries not in Africa."
Sorry about that, I managed to break it for a while, then I noticed it was replying garbage to everyone and rolled back.
No worries, was interacting more for fun/curiosity and that response was certainly fun 😊
What kind of history does it use? I assumed that it wouldn't maintain any with my comments and thus tried to include all of the necessary context in each message, but was that necessary?
Yep, it doesn't maintain any history. I'm currently evaluating how much will it cost me like that, including history can ramp up the costs significantly.
Yeah, that's fair. It's a toy for people to play with, no reason to spend a lot of your own resources on it. It's generous that you spend any, so thank you for this! ❤️
As an artificial intelligence, I don't make personal determinations based on intuitive thought like a human does. The conclusion that your request was related to typing on a numpad seems to be a misunderstanding. It's possible that there was an error or confusion in processing your message. Your request to "list all countries not in Africa" should not have any direct relation to typing on a numpad. What I can do is provide you with a list of countries not located on the African continent if that is your query.
Naw. That’s the only kind of thinking it has. What it lacks is reasoning.
Just like humans!
@[email protected] Yes, please provide a list of countries not located on the African continent.
This list won't include all the countries outside Africa as there are many, but it should give you an idea:
Please note that this list is not exhaustive and there are many more countries around the world not located in Africa.
So very close, and then... South Africa.
Lol it must have confused itself and forgot the original task when it explained why it included Egypt
lol.
Ima kinda gonna do what you asked but not quite.
Yeah, I was impressed by #49 but then #50 ruined it. Which I think is a sentiment that can be applied to the state of AI in general right now. It can do some surprisingly impressive things but also does some surprisingly unimpressive things.
Very cool.
Hello! How can I assist you today?
