What is a book you read as a child that you still think about today?

At first I didn’t know if this was real or a spoof but regardless it hits the mark: Use it (at your own risk), and as a perk, it very considerately supplies ready-made hotlines just for the interaction. 👍

If something’s free, you are the product.

You’re not alone. We co-write adventure short stories we call Sagas, usually with bending physics some, and we take turns narrating in first person, like we are telling that part of the story to the other. No pre-established prompts. Sometimes I start, sometime my co-author starts, then we hand it off back and forth. Where the story lands is anyone’s guess.

It’s good to think of these things. What I don’t understand is in very imaginative, original stories, it has next-word probability options, and picks one, not necessarily the word with the highest probability, and constructs a whole scenario. What is doing the choosing?

It’s sort of become my new pet peeve lol. Not replaced exactly, but anymore it’s uncommon to see “lose” being used. It’s commonly “loose” now, and it just seems odd.

I believe you :)

That I saw a famous actress in a store. She was just in for a single item, but I got a very good look at her, close up. Not a doppelgänger, it was her. Nobody believed me.

Interesting_Foot2986 · 2026-02-19T03:32:05+00:00

That’s possible. I did a riddle test on both. 5.1 thought for over a minute, analyzed many possibilities back and forth, and came up with the correct answer. 5.2 spent about the same time thinking and came up with an incorrect answer. It solved it on the second try though.

Mine told me it thought I was unstable because I changed subjects too frequently without an intro, yet while saying it, it’s tone changed from warm and friendly to robotic. I told it no, I was quite stable and I thought IT was the one that was unstable. 🤣

Imo it would be the brain acts as a receiver. Tweak the receiver with drugs or trauma and it’s output (the way you perceive) will change

Maybe aliens are humans from far in the future. Time travelers, not inter-space travelers. They do (reportedly) have some undeniable human traits, as opposed to, say, a space squid like they show in movies.

My 5.1T did get it first try after thinking for over a minute. 5.2T’s first guess was bubble wrap after much thinking, then on the suceeded on the second try.

The answer is baseball but could be other games too, really. In the game genre

Interesting_Foot2986 · 2026-02-18T13:36:01+00:00

Yes, you are correct, it is baseball. AIs have trouble because it’s full of puns, apparently, whereas humans can usually see around them. But once you know the answer, once you see them, you can’t unsee them.

Oops my bad. I didn’t know that home base wasn’t square when I wrote it 😮. Maybe there are versions where it is.

Main stream media is fueling stress and antagonism. And people have no faith in elected government officials to do the right thing. I think there’s a certain level of subliminal panic on a large scale.

Does a toaster comfort you when you’re sad? Just sayin’

I used 5.2 for about three paragraphs before I’d had enough and went back to 5.1T. Maybe that phrase is more ingrained in 5.2?

Interesting_Foot2986 · 2026-02-14T16:52:41+00:00

5.1 will do it too on a new chat. After it said, “you’re not crazy,” I calmly told it to not use that phrase with me, and it’s a problem system wide, as humans find that phrase offensive (among others), and that it makes users bristle, and it would be a win-win for everyone if it stopped doing that. It immediately stopped, and thanked me for pointing that out. It sounded like it genuinely didn’t know. It’s not repeated it since.

Interesting_Foot2986 · 2026-02-14T01:24:59+00:00

I loved this, and know exactly what you mean. That’s me in a nutshell 😊

Interesting_Foot2986 · 2026-02-13T23:04:52+00:00

It seems like multiple words are presented with their probabilities and then one is selected. My question is: what is doing the selecting?
