Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

[TiQuinn]

Seeing Buckaroo Banzai in the latter ‘80s was a very different kind of experience. I’m very unsurprised it might work less well now. (I’d recommend the novel instead.)

I kind of feel the opposite. There was so much that was campy or low budget or silly in the 80s that something actually intended as camp could slip through the cracks. My appreciation for BB has grown over the years (though I’ve always loved those end credits)

I liked Buckaroo Banzai when I saw it in the theater, it's another one we went and saw a few times.

I have fond memories of Buckaroo Banzai! Haven’t watched it in a long time. I think I’ve got it on DVD.

Total aside. ChatGPT hallucinates almost everything. You cannot rely on it.

No idea why the link keeps breaking. Remove the @s.

That is horrific!

Especially since I have been seeing articles and CLE (continuing legal education) courses talking about using AI programs in your legal practice, even as I see increasing numbers of my colleagues getting sanctioned for citing nonexistent legal precedents.

To be clear, that’s 100% on those lawyers (and their clerks), because- like that writer in your link- they’re trained on how to properly research precedents, including how to check that they’re still valid law.

But they’re also human, and humans can get lazy. Citing cases that have been overturned is a bad look…. Citing ones that never existed?

Yeah, once, for work, I uploaded a lengthy project report in Word doc format and asked it to pull some quotes from it that would help tell the project's story. Just to see if it could save me some time. Guess what? Even with a specific document to work with, it made stuff up!

Heck, I've even told it "I need help coming up with some text to go with this video of an interview with Deputy Principal X" and it responded with, "Here's some text with a [completely made-up] quote from Head Teacher X to go with the video." I'm like, "Dude, first, I didn't even ask you for a quote, never mind a made-up one, and I even told you that the guy's a Deputy Principal, not a Head Teacher."

I find it most useful as an idea generator for when I'm stuck and an editor/polisher - like if I've got some text that's a bit too long and I need to trim a few words to get it to fit into the allotted space in the layout. Or like if I'm not sure how to respond to an email or don't quite know what to say for a social media post. ChatGPT is great for that kind of stuff. But it is NOWHERE CLOSE to being usable as a replacement for a human or for any kind of work that requires evidence.

On a personal note, I'm also finding it helpful when converting older edition adventures to run in 5e. But again that's mostly brainstorming type stuff. When it comes to mechanics, it's not that great.

I understand that the paid version of ChatGPT has more bells and whistles and can produce better results, but I can't justify the cost, so I just put up with the more limited free version.

Somewhere I have the 25th anniversary edition DVD, that has the additional scenes.
