A Demonstration of how ChatGPT can reproduce a document just by looking at an image of it

[RoosterRedux]

I thought some of you might find this useful:

I might be naive about what AI technology can do, but the following amazed me. I use AI every day to do research (yes, I confirm what it says by multiple sources) and in writing VBA code to analyze stock and options prices, volume, technical indicators, etc. I am increasingly shocked by how much time it saves me and how much it has helped me in accomplishing heretofore difficult to impossible tasks.

I found an image online of a checklist that might be useful in my work (before starting any stock market trading for the day). As an experiment, I submitted the image to ChatGPT 4o (to which I subscribe) and asked if it could reproduce the document in the image for my use. My question and ChatGPT's response are below the question and image.

Me:

Can you transcribe the text (not the handwriting or check marks) on the document in this image so that I can copy and print it in MS Word for my own use?

ChatGPT 4o:

Certainly! Here is the transcribed text from the document:

PREPARE FOR TRADING

When the market opens:

• If daily profit targets are met, risk only a small portion of the gains.

• Acknowledge that afternoon trading may be less volatile and adjust strategies accordingly.

I was listening to a podcast the other day and the host said that he walked through a factory where he worked with his phone camera on (panning the space as he walked through). He submitted his footage to one of the AI platforms and asked it to produce a list of safety violations.

It did so instantly and even caught things that had escaped previous notice.

I just responded to this post:

https://freerepublic.com/focus/f-bloggers/4245719/posts

Headline "CRY MORE: NBC Whines Biden ‘Has No Firm Plan’ to Fight ‘Domestic Disinformation’ Before Election"

My response while unconfirmed was article and author are both AI generated.

Here's my attempt at the same article using AI. “give me a article from the perspective of a groupthink mindguard on how not enough is being done to fight domestic disinformation and assign it to a fictional male hispanic author”

Title: "The Silent Epidemic: How Inaction on Domestic Disinformation Threatens Our Democracy"

By: Carlos Moreno, Senior Fellow, Center for Critical Thinking

As a nation, we pride ourselves on being a beacon of freedom and democracy. Yet, a silent epidemic threatens to undermine the very fabric of our society: domestic disinformation. It's no longer a matter of if, but when, this insidious threat will manifest in catastrophic consequences. And I'm not alone in sounding the alarm.

As a senior fellow at the Center for Critical Thinking, I've dedicated my career to studying the perils of disinformation and the importance of fact-based discourse. The evidence is clear: domestic disinformation is rampant, and our response has been woefully inadequate.

The statistics are staggering. According to a recent study by the Pew Research Center, nearly 70% of Americans believe that fabricated news stories have become more common over the past few years. This is not surprising, given the ease with which misinformation can spread on social media platforms. A single false claim can be amplified thousands of times in a matter of hours, reaching millions of people.

But it's not just the quantity that's alarming – it's the quality too. Disinformation often targets specific groups, amplifying existing biases and exacerbating societal divisions. The consequences are far-reaching: increased polarization, decreased trust in institutions, and even physical harm to individuals who are misinformed or misled.

So, what's being done to combat this threat? Unfortunately, not nearly enough. Governments and tech companies are still playing catch-up, while policymakers and media outlets seem more concerned with scoring political points than tackling the root causes of disinformation.

We need to acknowledge that domestic disinformation is a national security issue. It's no longer just about fake news; it's about undermining our ability to make informed decisions as citizens. We're talking about a crisis that affects everyone – regardless of political affiliation or demographic background.

Here are some concrete steps that need to be taken:

Increased funding: We need to allocate more resources to combat disinformation. This includes funding for fact-checking initiatives, research into the spread of misinformation, and education programs that promote media literacy.

Regulatory action: Tech companies must be held accountable for allowing disinformation to spread unchecked on their platforms. This includes implementing stricter moderation policies and transparency measures.

Media literacy education: Schools must prioritize media literacy education from an early age. This includes teaching students how to identify credible sources, evaluate information critically, and avoid spreading misinformation. Government transparency: Government agencies must be transparent about their own information dissemination practices and provide clear guidance on how to verify official information.

As a society, we can no longer afford to ignore this crisis. We must come together to address the root causes of disinformation and promote a culture of fact-based discourse.

As I've said before, "Silence is complicity." We can't afford to remain silent any longer.

That’s scary how fast AI has gotten more plausible in just a few months. It used to be filled word count. word count for the sake of word count.

[WeaslesRippedMyFlesh]

There was no delay is generating that beyond a few milliseconds.

Here's the image in that post. Not sure why it stopped working:

[RoosterRedux]

What AI platform did you use?

[Red Badger]

Sell your Xerox stock, STAT!..........................

[Sirius Lee]

Ask it to generate a plate of bacon and eggs that one can actually eat. I’m hungry.

[RoosterRedux]

Here's your new girlfriend. She's great in the kitchen (and elsewhere?):

[Sirius Lee]

[RoosterRedux]

If I had to choose a girlfriend from a group containing Kathy Griffin, Whoopi Goldberg, Michelle Obama, Fanny Willis, and a nice robot...I'm going with the robot.

And my decision isn't just based on looks.;-)

In all seriousness, the nastiness and constant hectoring that many (but certainly not all) women exhibit is exactly why “female” robot companions will be a great success. Some guys just want to come home from work and be able to relax a bit without being criticized or worse until they go to sleep, and if a woman can’t provide that on a reasonably regular basis (because, after all, sometimes we deserve the criticism), then quite a few guys will go elsewhere.

[RoosterRedux]

Thx.

It’s tough when your choices are a toilet, a pile of cr@p, another pile of cr@p, and the giant butt that put #2 and #3 into the first choice.

Yup.

Never thought of using it for stock analysis- wonder how accurate it might be?
