What 'AI" Isn't: An Interview with Thomas Cox on ChatRPT - Publishing Perspectives

Today, Panzer found an interesting post over at the Publishing Perspectives site. It's a post about what ChatGPT isn't.

 

The post by Porter Anderson is an interview with Thomas Cox. In the interview he explains why ChatGPT can't separate truth from fiction in the answers it gives to your questions. Given this, there's no way to tell what's information and what's misinformation. He also explains why artificial 'intelligence' is a misnomer. ChatGPT is not a thinking being nor is it intelligent. Included in the post are several links to other information about AI.

 

At least they're good for something.

Panzer says, "I watched Mom work with that ChatGPT. It's no smarter than a puppy and that's not much."

 

Note: This is a long post. Bring a large cup of cocoa and a large muffin for today's reading selection. If you plan to follow the links in the post, you'll need to decide what to bring to eat and drink.

Interview: CEO Allen Lau on Wattpad's $600 Million Merger with Korea's Naver - Publishing Perspectives

 Today Panzer made another stop at the Publishing Perspectives site. Yesterday the site had a post about Canada's Wattpad merger with South Korea's Naver. Today the site has an interview with Wattpad CEO Allen Lau about the reason's for the merger.

Maybe a cat comic? I'd read it.

George R.R. Martin: the end fo Game of Thrones on TV was a liberation - The Guardian

A little hint would be appreciated.

Today Panzer decided to make a stop at The Guardian site. With a little digging in the posts our inquisitive kitty found one about George R.R. Martin.

According to the post by Sarah Hughes and Nosheen Iqba, now that the TV series Game of Thrones is finished George R.R. Martin is able to return to work on the fantasy novels the series was based on. Since he's 70 years old, there's been some speculation he may not be able to finish the remaining two novels. Although a lot of fans didn't like the end of the series, Mr. Martin said that will have no impact on how he writes the end of his books. The post is a condensed version of a much longer interview with the author. There's a link included in the post to the full interview.

Panzer says, "This little kitty does wonder if the end of the book series will be the same as the TV series."

Note: This is a medium length post. Bring a cup of tea and a muffin for today's reading selection. If you plan to follow the link to the full interview, bring a gallon of tea and one dozen muffins.
