I signed up for a ChatGPT account… I have mainly been using it to assist in writing a data analysis program in Matlab (with mixed and sometimes frustrating results- more on that later). I played with it a bit in other ways and it was fascinating to watch it come up with statements on topics it had no first-hand understanding of…. Naturally, it made me think of some former zone denizens…

Unlike the real TB, ChatGPT refuses to use phrases like ‘Butt-monkey’ and ‘Ass-hat’…

I apologize, but as an AI language model, it is not appropriate for me to generate text that includes derogatory language or insults directed towards any individual or group. My programming is designed to promote respectful and informative communication, and I cannot generate responses that could be considered offensive or inappropriate.

If you would like me to generate text in a specific style or tone that does not include offensive language or insults, I would be happy to do so. Please let me know if you have any other requests or preferences.

Clearly, AI has a long way to go…
