One should be able to opt-out for training AI, but then testing AI should also become impossible. Else you are freeloading just as much as you accuse the AI companies of.

Start small, like asking him to review your grammar.

That there are lots of people who believe in 5G Bill Gates vax chips is itself fake news. It is well poisoning to pre-empt criticism of billionaires with too much power and free time to meddle in African population growth and pandemic response. Supported by "smart" people who want to feel good and trust the science on 5G safety.

There are Microsoft patents for microchips to track body activity to reward in cryptocurrency and subsidiaries who wanted to microchip vaccine passports into the hands of immigrants.

What happened was either the teacher is severely biased against ChatGPT and fabricated the fact to fit their narrative. Or ChatGPT gave the correct answer, but the student interpreted it wrong.

I do believe the students keep coming up with weird (correct) facts, and that this can be scary for a teacher who is stuck at a search bar.

You can just ask it "What scholars or source material books could I check out to verify these linguistics facts?".

Many facts and answers are gathered/aggregated from many different (sometimes conflicting) sources. It won't link the internet page where it found the information, because it didn't find the information on a single internet page.

This is a problem for this particular teacher (who sees their students surpassing them in understanding and using AI), but of course it is projected to be a problem for the student.

No student is ever hurt by the introduction of a more advanced knowledge system. We heard similar laments decades ago, with: Students just believe the first 10 search results of Google. Those students are now the teachers of today, starting at the search bar.

I'd go so far as saying (if version other than 3.5 was used) that ChatGPT was correct and has far more linguistics knowledge than this teacher ever will. "Greek is actually a combination of four other languages" is not an answer that ChatGPT will ever give, but something a teacher makes up to claim Ch*tGPT is a Nonsense Machine.

ChatGPT: Greek has evolved in stages from Mycenaean Greek (Linear B script) through Classical Greek, Hellenistic (Koine) Greek, Byzantine Greek, and Modern Greek. It has been influenced by ancient Near Eastern languages, Latin, Turkish, Italian, and French.

If there really is an epistemic crisis, then it already existed and ChatGPT merely reflects it, not caused or contributed to it.

There are laws against rape. Someone prosecuted and punished for rape has nothing directly to do with them being male or a sadist.

Being married is a hard prerequisite for being able to commit marital rape. You don't have to be gay to have gay sex that the authorities learn about.

The law was enforced, but it seems Turing did not take it seriously. He was openly gay since university, complained the law was stupid, was unapologetic in court, and sought out "sex vacations" after his conviction.

> You don't think his gayness was a factor at all?

It was a factor, but not directly. I believe Turing's gayness is being pink washed. The way I see it, the UK was not castrating people for being gay, but gave this option after breaking indecency laws and being convicted for it.

> particularly after the facts started coming to light

Turing went to police to file a report and casually (perhaps ignorantly or haughtily) admitted to breaking a law.

A heterosexual 40-year-old man with top-level security clearance, access to sensitive information, and the skill set of Turing, getting involved with Eastern European strays, at the start of the Cold War, possibly compromising himself, would not have received the same punishment, but likely would not have been spared jail time.

Cruel? From the lens of modern times, certainly. But don't we still chemically castrate certain sex offenders?

I'm fine with Turing being a hero or a role model. But people are now writing that Turing was castrated for being gay.

> following his indecency conviction, and had nothing directly to do with his security clearance.

It had nothing directly to do with his being gay. You can be gay without starting relationships with homeless boys and getting your house broken into, exposing yourself to blackmail or coercion.

His death was consistent with both suicide and accident. He left no note, so the reasons for why he likely committed suicide are not clear. His nephew suggests it was "boyfriend trouble" and his friend said he had underwent the "treatment" in good spirits. Turing, on the advice of his lawyer, plead guilty and opted for chemical castration himself.

Of all the men in history charged with "gross indecency", Turing was the only one to receive a pardon. He was not castrated for being gay, but for a relationship with an Eastern European 19-year old homeless man, and getting his house broken into, while having a security clearance and access to secret information.

This is so quaint. I love it.

Not even going to ask AI. Waiting for a bash one-liner before OP reminds us they are on corporate Windows machine.

The voice sounded so much like Her, they needed a press release from her to recognize it and report on it.

I'm glad for you. Enjoy your "journalism".

All these journalists only now saying OpenAI stole a voice, and how Sam is so sneaky, when we only heard a PR release of someone sue-happy.

Look, I'd have respected it if you reported the voice sounded like Her by doing your own investigative research. To now pile on just shows you were sleeping at the wheel before, so be objective, don't pretend to know that it is a done deal only now.
