So your file definitely contains Kelly and Stella.

Over time I've been trying out ChatGPT for various tasks (often after I complete the task myself, to compare) and my most recent fail was an attempt for assistance with expense sharing calculations. It added two extra people to our girls' trip and then insisted that they exist.

Things I'm thinking about -- do skills inevitably get more diverse as people move up a skill curve? Is it more of a skills delta rather than a skills curve? Or is that dependent on the variability in the skill?

Aww, love this. I always say there are three ways I get things done: 1) Somebody is waiting for it (that social piece they describe) 2) I get bored enough (hard to do in our constant stimulation world) or 3) I'm trying to avoid something I want to do even less. #LearningBuddiesFTW

People often claim they know when ChatGPT wrote something, but are they as accurate as they think?

Turns out that while general population is unreliable, those who frequently use ChatGPT for writing tasks can spot even "humanized" AI-generated text with near-perfect accuracy 🎯

My brother is dealing with that now. I once tried to call my insurer to verify a procedure was covered and the best the rep was able to say is "I think so". I love how the entity with the least access to information (the patient) is responsible for figuring this out.
