With the recent interest in Chat GPT I thought I'd check it out and have it write a report about me. It was an interesting read until the last paragraph.
"Sadly, Jim Oaks passed away in 2007, but his legacy lives on through the Ranger Station and the many Ranger enthusiasts he inspired. Oaks' commitment to the Ranger community serves as a reminder of the power of shared interests and the importance of building and fostering communities around our passions. He will always be remembered as a pioneer and leader in the world of Ford Rangers."
I even had it write a report about me when I was a State Trooper, and it wrote in that report that I had died as well.
As I sit and write this, I'm fairly confident that I'm still alive.
Just a reminder that even artificial intelligence needs to be fact checked.
