The artificial intelligence MEGATHREAD

[I Have Questions]

What was the actual prompt?

You did click on the link! Believe it or not, that was a test. You are more than able to complete a simple task.

Click!!

Sorry, I failed. I didn’t click your “link & run”, I accessed this thread via the board index.

Here was the prompt:

Is finding reference to "Jesus Christ" in the Book of Mormon anachronistic or is there a reasonable explanation for it?

After that response (not posted) I then did a follow up with the following prompt:

Is there a "loan shift" explanation?

There. Now, if you have comment or disagreement you are more than welcome to post a substantial reply rather than continuing your ongoing bellyaching.

Please post replies in the original thread rather than here so that ALL can benefit from you expertise and wisdom. Not everyone is going to do what you did and visit the A.I. response/information thread.

Thanks,
MG

So you admit you missed off the prompt, yet again. You don’t seem to be correcting your behaviour, despite the board administrator asking you to.

[MODERATOR NOTE: I was afraid this would happen. I thought for sure it was only a matter of time, but I dared to dream. Sure enough, it only took, what, four days?

To modify the existing policy, NO LINKS to anything in the artificial intelligence megathread. Links with no accompanying or explanatory text are micro-derailments, which if accumulated will become very annoying.

I’m away from my computer and on my phone, so I can’t go into too much detail because it’s a pain to type with my thumbs. Suffice it to say, the a.i.-generated text to which a link was posted was something that a human being could’ve EASILY typed, with just a passing familiarity with the Book of Mormon text itself. This reinforces my conclusion that a.i. is not being used as a research tool but as a shiny new toy that does one’s thinking and writing for one.

TL;DR: NO LINKS to anything in the artificial intelligence megathread. I’ll split out the links and discussion in this thread when I’m back on a desktop computer.]

So it sounds like there is a compromise that is possible. If there is explanatory description of what the link is leading to then that would be acceptable, as long as it is not done each and every post (which by the way, I don't do).

Technically, yes I did. For the purpose that I mentioned.

I would encourage board moderation to be open to "more information is better" by allowing links to a thread in which A.I. information content is allowed. That is a reasonable solution to the perceived problem that some are so articulately describing as links to "walls of text".

It looks like this insidious request has been rejected.

Interestingly, one of MG's earlier suggestions was on target. Nothing prevents MG from, as he himself suggested, using A.I. to learn about a topic and inform his own responses.

Nothing, that is, except that it would take actual effort to comprehend the material and then put it in his own words, a deal breaker.

NO.

Here is the compromise: If you want to have a.i. post a response to someone on your behalf, send that person a link VIA PRIVATE MESSAGE to the a.i.-generated post that resides within the artificial intelligence megathread. Do not post a link to that thread within any other thread, regardless of how descriptive of a, uh, description you attach to the link.

Th emphasize, NO LINKS TO ANYTHING THAT RESIDES WITHIN THE ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE MEGATHREAD.

And to avoid confusion, NO LINKS TO ANYTHING THAT RESIDES WITHIN THE ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE MEGATHREAD.

And because I most likely wasn’t clear enough, NO LINKS TO ANYTHING THAT RESIDES WITHIN THE ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE MEGATHREAD.

And in conclusion, NO LINKS TO ANYTHING THAT RESIDES WITHIN THE ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE MEGATHREAD.

I think all of us would find the A.I. stuff less tiresome if it was simply translated into your own voice.

That one small step ensures that we aren’t arguing with a 3rd party, and that you’ve actually read what the A.I. spit out enough to have a discussion about it.

In other words, use A.I. privately as a tool for research and then put it in your own words here.

This is absolutely beautiful MG. Now are you absolutely sure you’ve got it?

Posting the content of a private message to the general board is yet another board rule breach.

“Do not make mention of anything that allegedly transpired or is transpiring via the chat room or via private message that the source him- or herself has not overtly made public.”
