Also -- I asked ChatGPT what VW years/models had a certain engine code. I asked twice, got two different lists; both wrong. Correct info was in Wikipedia.
I was trying to locate a suitable replacement for a T25 van which had had an engine conversion.
Here is a quote from a rather long article about AI by a fantastically accomplished online acquaintance named Earl Boebert:
"A similar tradeoff exists with regard to creativity, or “temperature.” Since generative AI is constrained by historical patterns, what comes out is inherently of “average” (i.e. mediocre) quality. If you increase the “temperature” variable to get more “interesting” results, built-in dementia permits it to return syntactically correct nonsense."
You may find the article fascinating or it may make your eyes glaze. I recommend giving it a try though.
What a clever fellow! I'm lost most of the time but I decided to subscribe, anyway, just in case one or two little nuggets of information become understandable to me!
Gah. :(
Your normal erudition, me old mucker!

Tell me: why would a person want such information? Asking for my best friend...
