I asked AI to create some text for me on a particular topic, namely, a thorough treatment of WebAPI protocols and how to reference them.
This is what I got.
"An unforeseen rendezvous transpired as an explorer traversed the streets. In a quaint alleyway, they graciously signaled for a vehicle on the main road to lead the way. The car heeded their gesture, to their astonishment, veering into the same path. Face-to-face, a grin from the other driver metamorphosed this ordinary moment into a surreal realization; With a touch of whimsy, a connoisseur couldn't resist lauding the captivating allure this moment. Playfully portrayed, ostensibly ordinary with a fanciful twist of destiny, a mystical gypsy enchantment. A memorable encounter with a Greek deity lingered in the mind of a dreamer, creatring an instant enchantment that washed over them inadvertently colliding with the fates. Gazing upward, the dreamer beheld an ethereal glow that seemed to envelop everything. With a touch of whimsy, they likened the experience to the background melody of “Magic Man,” emphasizing the undeniable allure emanating from the whole universe."
Wait, what?
Well, I’m impressed.
That PERFECTLY explains WebAPI technology, especially the authorization using OAUTH and JWS tokens.
I believe AI is having a mental breakdown.
It’s writes like I would write. In other words, tedious, prolix and pretentious. I like it!
We are so screwed.
I have caught AI being less than truthful, and I kid you not.
I liked it so much, I tore my thumbs off. TWO BLOODY STUMPS UP!
Well, that confirms that behind ChatGPT are all the unemployed Chinese tech manual writers.
Lol!
I have been warned by others in the tech field that AI routinely lapses into ‘hallucinations’.
IMHO, it’s excessive and indulgent.
That’s Jibberish Laz and I don’t think it addresses your GEEK question.
It used to be that one could place a hundred monkeys at 100 typewriters for 100 years, and they’d come up with a work of Shakespeare.
Now, that can happen with one ChatAPI with one super computer, and it’d come up with a work of Shakespeare in 100 nanoseconds (if that much).
Whoop de do.
About the best definition of WebAPI that I’ve seen so far.
I agree with your befuddlement, the use of “Magic Man” to emphasize the grandeur of contemplating the universe was an amateurishly obvious choice that I’d have expected the AI to be good enough to avoid. Other than that though, a perfect description of how the protocol works. What didn’t you get?
Now ask it to write a bodice-ripper & post the results. ;-)
Ask it about ‘creatring’.
