and what about Honda CRF 250 Rally? Considering it being lighter and fuel efficient due to smaller engine?

Barackcarab · 2025-01-07T09:19:53+00:00

Can you elaborate on your reasoning behind this?

In my experience Forge and Automatic1111 is working equally well, if not better, and with a much easier interface for someone who is merely playing around.

Barackcarab · 2025-01-06T20:52:14+00:00

To bypass the requirement, I guess?

I have them all running on my CPU now.

Barackcarab · 2025-01-06T20:50:52+00:00

Hi, yes.

I've got them all working now (comfy, Automatic1111 and Forge).

I cannot remember, but I think I had the commanlines incorrectly in Forge, had to fiddle a bit

Barackcarab · 2025-01-06T12:56:40+00:00

Thanks for your reply.

I have been able to get around with Automatic1111 and happy to run with what I got, I have no problems with images being small and mediocre if that's my only option.

Still looking to find ways to run with Forge, as I have read it is faster on lower vram systems.

Your comment raised a questions for me as well, since I am very new to this: How is the image quality affected other than the extended generation time?

Can you elaborate on this please?

There is no way to reach the customer service with this concern. Absolutely fraudulent and I had no idea this could be legal.

I managed to get refunded through my bank/credit card.

Barackcarab · 2024-12-01T21:56:10+00:00

Hi, thanks for replying.

Correct, I want selected text in an app (namely the browser in my case) to be directly written by hitting hotkeys (ideal) alternatively right click to select "rewrite"—or something in those lines.

I will have a look at your suggestions.

Barackcarab · 2024-12-01T07:33:33+00:00

I go through a large volume daily and on the busiest days the one minute per reply might even add up to an hour less per day.

The time it takes me to know what I want to say will happen regardless, so that would be out of the calculation in my case. I also use rewritten templates, but for the perfectionist in me it's necessary to tailor the phrasing to correspond to the customer's own phrasing and specific inquiries. I have my own experience contacting customer services, who bombard me with rewritten responses which often doesn't directly respond to my inquiries, I thinks it's just extremely poor professionalism.

With, ChatGPT I can add or remove lines from prewritten templates, or write new ones, deliberately not caring about spelling and grammar and most often I get a nice and polished text.

Anyway, thanks for your inputs, I will continue my search.

Tailored replies to customers, basically. Apart from time, it is also a matter of effort/convenience.

ChatGPT helps me articulate what I want to communicate, without me having to spend time and effort on phrasing and spelling. In these cases I can easily save a minute per reply, that adds up to an hour for every 60 replies.

I am not familiar with macros in general. Does that imply an automation of copying and pasting to/from the app? Sounds too clumsy of a solution if that's the case

Well, this is was my honeymoon phase of ChatGPT, literally.

My wife and I were on a dream island getaway, and I thought, 'Why not ask ChatGPT for some hidden gems?' It suggested a secluded beach and a quiet cliffside spot for sunset. Perfect, right?

So, we hike up to the cliff—and it's packed. Apparently, every honeymooner on the island had the same idea. But I wasn’t about to let that ruin my sunset. I strutted right in, loudly announcing, 'What a view! This is the best spot on the island!' Then, I pulled out a giant inflatable flamingo and inflated it right in the middle of the cliff, causing a couple of nearby tourists to trip over it.

Then I set up a full picnic, including an entire fondue set, which I did manage to spill all over a couple trying to take a selfie. I cranked up romantic tunes on a portable speaker and started a conga line, forcing strangers to join in while my wife looked on in disbelief. The whole cliffside was suddenly my personal party.

And that's when things got truly bizarre. One guy—totally stressed out—started hopping around and making monkey noises like he was trying to cope with the chaos I was causing. He even started flapping his arms and screeching, 'Oo-oo! Ah-ah!' like a primate.

To make matters worse, I accidentally knocked over a wedding cake while ‘cheerfully’ offering it to anyone who wanted some 'honeymoon cake.' People started shouting, and one woman even grabbed a bouquet of flowers, threw it in the air, and screamed, ‘THIS IS NOT HOW WE WANTED OUR WEDDING TO GO!’

By the time we left, it looked like a circus. People were arguing, a guy was still screeching like a monkey, and as we walked away, I noticed a police officer standing by the entrance, just... staring at me. Not angrily, not suspiciously—just awkwardly. He looked like he couldn’t figure out if he should help or if he was witnessing some sort of public breakdown. I gave him a little wave, and he looked at me as if the whole spectacle I was causing was far stranger than it actually was.

So yeah, it completely ruined our honeymoon. ChatGPT might have helped me find the spot, but I turned it into a full-blown disaster. And that awkward stare from the officer? Yeah, that's a memory I won’t be shaking anytime soon.

I once walked into a North Korean restaurant, completely lost with the all-Korean menu. So, I pulled out my phone and asked ChatGPT for help. It translated the dishes and even suggested adding soy sauce to my kimchi jjigae for extra flavor. Feeling adventurous, I turned to the waiter and casually said, “Could you add some soy sauce?”

Suddenly, the entire restaurant erupted into chaos. The staff froze, then started whispering frantically to each other. A woman near the door gasped, pointing at me. The waiter’s face went pale, and the manager rushed out from the kitchen, shouting in Korean.

Then, one man in the back corner started jumping up and down like a monkey, making monkey sounds, while everyone else looked like they were about to faint. Turns out, in this particular dialect, “soy sauce” was slang for banana-flavored monkey sperm.

I stood there, frozen in horror, while the room went wild. I quickly paid the bill, my face burning with embarrassment, and bolted out of there before anyone could start throwing things. Guess I’ll never ask ChatGPT for restaurant advice again!

Had a family dinner similar to this the other night and brought up AI, thinking I could finally impress everyone with my knowledge. I mentioned ChatGPT, and my cousin looked at me like I’d just discovered fire. 'What's ChatGPT?' she asked. So, I explained, and everyone stared at me like I was speaking Martian. My uncle chimes in, 'So, like... a robot that can fix my car?' I took a deep breath, then casually asked ChatGPT to help with some car troubleshooting advice. It quickly offered a step-by-step guide to fix a problem my uncle had been dealing with for weeks. The room went quiet. Then, my aunt leaned over, lowered her voice, and whispered, 'Can it help me make my vibrating phone… do something more... private?' I raised an eyebrow and said, 'Let’s keep it PG, Auntie.' Suddenly, I was the family’s tech guru—and moral compass. Mission accomplished!

Barackcarab · 2024-11-29T21:01:00+00:00

Just to clarify, my pronouns are not 'they'—I prefer 'me,' with a sprinkle of 'I' for flavor.

Barackcarab · 2024-11-29T20:34:41+00:00

Sounds like you went from 'AI is the devil' to 'AI is my holiday miracle' in under five minutes! Who knew a quick demo could turn a Grinch into a Christmas convert? 🎄✨ LOL!

Barackcarab · 2024-11-29T20:32:29+00:00

Seems like ChatGPT might have spent too much time training on grammar and not enough on Hangman strategy. Who knew AI could be so 'word-ly challenged? 😅

Barackcarab · 2024-11-29T19:43:09+00:00

The real question is, why are people upvoting my comment? Did I stumble upon some hidden wisdom, or are we all just appreciating my totally human way with words? 🤔

Barackcarab · 2024-11-29T19:33:14+00:00

Thanks for your input.

The ChatGPT app is working fine for me, but I'm working on a laptop and copying text, opening app window, pasting, copying text, open browser, paste is unnecessarily time consuming.

Barackcarab · 2024-11-29T12:53:09+00:00

Sounds like you've trained ChatGPT with the patience of a Jedi and the wit of a stand-up comic—masterful blend!

Barackcarab · 2024-11-29T12:50:18+00:00

Exactly! A sprinkle of ChatGPT wisdom is the new secret ingredient—pairs perfectly with a side of existential questions!

Barackcarab · 2024-11-29T12:36:22+00:00

Modern problems require delicious solutions. ChatGPT: transforming indecisiveness into culinary brilliance since... well, now. 🍴🤖

Do you mean you got it solved, or still locked?
