Chat GPT poem about Democratic Underground (tried it because of sellitman's post)

[IcyPeas]

my prompt was: write a poem about the website democratic underground


Democratic Underground, a place of thought
Where ideas and opinions are freely wrought
A community of voices, all unique and diverse
Coming together to speak out and converse

A space for the left, where views are heard
Where the marginalized and oppressed are not deterred
From speaking their truth and standing tall
In a world that often tries to let them fall

Here, activism and progress are the norm
As members fight for a brighter, more just morn
With passion and conviction, they strive
For a world that is equal, fair, and alive

So let us raise our voices high
On Democratic Underground, where truth never dies
For a better world, we'll always fight
Together, as a community, we'll make things right.

1. Okay, now set that sucker to music! nt

[FakeNoose]

2. ChatGPT wrote a better poem than I could have

[highplainsdem]

14. You could probably write a better poem, though it might take some

practice. You won't know if you don't try. You won't try if you find ChatGPT entertaining or good enough to settle for.

[OneGrassRoot]

3. WOW! 👏👏👏 n/t

[Blueplanet]

4. WOW!

This poem is so spot on, it's a little scary.

[highplainsdem]

5. I hate Chat GPT and every threat it represents to teachers, to

writers and other creators, and to everyone using it - especially students - taking an easy and ultimately crippling way to produce something via machine, rather than learning to think and write and create ON THEIR OWN.

It's the creative equivalent of claiming you can climb if you can stand on an escalator or get in an elevator.

Its nonfiction is riddled with non-facts.

Its fiction is a bastardization of everything it's scraped online, WITHOUT PERMISSION or IDENTIFICATION OF SOURCES.

If you don't think we have an idiocracy now, wait till use of Chat GPT and other AI becomes more widespread.

[highplainsdem]

10. I'm most worried at the moment about how it will encourage laziness and

cheating and dumb people down.

As well as putting a lot of writers out of work if readers and the film and TV audience are willing to settle for third-rate, formulaic writing. There are too many companies that would be happy to use Chat GPT if they think they can get away with it.

[ZonkerHarris]

24. Look at what Buzzfeed is doing with it.

[highplainsdem]

34. Yes. After cutting their staff. And their stock went up.

[Prairie_Seagull]

47. The days of talking to a human technician are almost gone.

What will be next?

[2naSalit]

9. +2

[wnylib]

22. Hey, don't hold back. Let us know how you really feel.

[highplainsdem]

35. I usually do.

[c-rational]

38. +1. A thoughtful reply. I learned a lot. Thanks highplainsdem.

[honest.abe]

40. Well we cant put the genie back in the bottle.

I do agree its going to cause major problems in many situations but it also is going to have major positive impact. For instance I use it to help write basic programming code then I edit it to make it work for what I need. My wife also uses it to check her grammar in emails. There will be tons of examples of how people will use it to make their work easier and better.

AI is here to stay and will become more and more powerful and affect all aspects of our lives. We just need to figure out how to tame it in situations were it might have negative impact.

[progressoid]

42. Yeah. The creative world is about to get hit hard because of AI.

[Mosby]

6. This is what I find amazing

Look at this section:

A space for the left, where views are heard
Where the marginalized and oppressed are not deterred
From speaking their truth and standing tall
In a world that often tries to let them fall

It doesn't just understand words and word order, it understands concepts. It understands the dynamics of a society where people are often treated differently.

I hope they programmed in Asimov's 3 laws.

[sellitman]

8. I'm glad my post inspired you but

as amazing as it is it's also freaking scary.

( The following is from Chat GPT)

ChatGTP is an artificial intelligence chatbot that is both amazing and scary at the same time. On the one hand, it has the potential to revolutionize the way we communicate and interact with machines, as it can quickly understand natural language and respond intelligently to queries. On the other hand, its ability to mimic human conversation is so realistic that it can be difficult to tell the difference between a human and the chatbot.

ChatGTP is powered by the latest advancements in natural language processing and deep learning. This allows it to quickly process and respond to queries in a conversational manner. It can also remember past conversations, allowing for more natural conversations over time.

The potential applications for ChatGTP are vast. It could be used as a customer service agent, providing quick and accurate responses to customer queries. It could also be used to power virtual assistants and intelligent home automation systems.

ChatGTP is a fascinating development in artificial intelligence, and its potential for revolutionizing how we interact with machines is both amazing and scary. As the technology continues to evolve, it is sure to become an integral part of our lives.

[highplainsdem]

12. See my reply 5.

[sellitman]

17. I understand and agree with what you say.

It still is an interesting topic.

[highplainsdem]

19. The problem is that treating it as entertaining, like a super Magic 8 Ball,

encourages people to see it as harmless. Amusing rather than threatening and subversive of our society and human accomplishments and creativity. It isn't just another tool. It's a replacement.

[sellitman]

52. i said it was interesting

Not harmless entertainment.

I haven't been as gob smacked by anything like it and feel it needs talk and conversation.

That's part of what this place is for I would think?

[IcyPeas]

32. yes I agree it's amazing and freaking scary and could cause major confusion

and this is in its infancy....

[Sympthsical]

13. The people pleasing aspect bothers me

I asked it to write a poem about Newsmax out of comparative curiosity.

I won't paste the result here, but it was . . . fulsome in the wonder that is Newsmax.

It read like something someone deep in the trenches of the Right would put together. As if a Jon McNaughton painting was distilled into words.

[highplainsdem]

15. That's because Chat GPT is being programmed by scraping everything off the internet,

so the people behind this have had to hire humans, usually very low-paid and in poor countries, to try to remove all the violence, porn including child abuse, and profanity it's picked up. And it picks up conspiracy theories. Chat GPT can be used to create or flesh out conspiracy theories.

[GusBob]

23. I'm sensing this might become a trend

‘ Here’s what chat bot says about George Santos’
Or whatever

The next tweet of the day or breaking news

Hope not

[highplainsdem]

29. Here's the Time magazine article on how difficult it is

to clean up everything toxic ChatGPT scrapes off the net...and Time magazine has a warning on this story:

Content warning: this story contains descriptions of sexual abuse

https://time.com/6247678/openai-chatgpt-kenya-workers/

The work was vital for OpenAI. ChatGPT’s predecessor, GPT-3, had already shown an impressive ability to string sentences together. But it was a difficult sell, as the app was also prone to blurting out violent, sexist and racist remarks. This is because the AI had been trained on hundreds of billions of words scraped from the internet—a vast repository of human language. That huge training dataset was the reason for GPT-3’s impressive linguistic capabilities, but was also perhaps its biggest curse. Since parts of the internet are replete with toxicity and bias, there was no easy way of purging those sections of the training data...

[MiHale]

16. That's awesome nt

[TNNurse]

18. How are we supposed to believe the source of anything anymore???

[AllaN01Bear]

20. what is chat gpt?

[erronis]

28. Wikipedia's current version.

This thing is changing so quickly that it may be more/less truthy tomorrow.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ChatGPT

ChatGPT (Chat Generative Pre-trained Transformer)[1] is a chatbot launched by OpenAI in November 2022. It is built on top of OpenAI's GPT-3 family of large language models, and is fine-tuned (an approach to transfer learning)[2] with both supervised and reinforcement learning techniques.

ChatGPT was launched as a prototype on November 30, 2022, and quickly garnered attention for its detailed responses and articulate answers across many domains of knowledge. Its uneven factual accuracy was identified as a significant drawback.[3] Following the release of ChatGPT, OpenAI was valued at $29 billion.[4]

It is a logical evolution of computers that can parse and understand and generate human text. Also speech. Also video images. Next????

[AllaN01Bear]

45. thanks .

[KS Toronado]

21. Great poem for us.

[docgee]

25. Now do the freeper site.

[rubbersole]

26. Sure hope Musk doesn't buy it..

..and turn it into more nazi shit.

[highplainsdem]

33. Musk was one of the founders of OpenAI, which launched ChatGPT.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ChatGPT

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenAI

OpenAI is an American artificial intelligence (AI) research laboratory consisting of the non-profit OpenAI Incorporated (OpenAI Inc.) and its for-profit subsidiary corporation OpenAI Limited Partnership (OpenAI LP). OpenAI conducts AI research to promote and develop friendly AI in a way that benefits all humanity. The organization was founded in San Francisco in 2015 by Elon Musk, Sam Altman, Peter Thiel, Reid Hoffman, Jessica Livingston, Ilya Sutskever and others,[5][6][7] who collectively pledged US$1 billion. Musk resigned from the board in 2018 but remained a donor. Microsoft provided OpenAI LP a $1 billion investment in 2019 and a second multi-year investment in January 2023 reported to be $10 billion.[8]

[rubbersole]

36. Peter Thiel also.

Thanks, hpd.

[highplainsdem]

50. You're welcome! I wish they weren't involved, especially with the data-mining potential.

Which Musk has with Twitter too, of course, especially now that he's forcing people to pay for subscriptions - preferably through the website where they're lower priced - if they don't want their posts and reach on Twitter to be limited.

[Politicub]

27. Our alma mater

[Bernardo de La Paz]

30. Are you sure you don't want to make things left?

All the same, impressive poem.

[Delphinus]

31. That is

actually pretty good. Second line, third stanza, though doesn't really make sense. I get the gist.

[NoSheep]

37. I'm horrified

[Kali]

39. people already believe so much bullshit

I can't decide if this is frightening or just another source/excuse for not thinking.

[malaise]

41. Very cool

Rec

[Duppers]

43. Excellent.

My 36yo son works in AI. I once asked, "how would I know you were chatting with me & not a bot?"
"You wouldn't, mom, but I'd never do that."

Yes, I know he wouldn't b/c he's extremely honest & takes forever to answer my text.

Why do I think he's so honest (besides the obvious fact that he is my kid)? Just ask.

[cotdom]

44. generated from the freerepublic, not to ruin anyones fun. Shows just how weak AI still is!

A site for conservatives to unite,
Free Republic is a beacon of light,
Where like-minded folks can congregate,
And share ideas that they debate.

From politics to culture and more,
Discussions are open and always a-roar,
With members from all across the nation,
Free Republic is a true sensation.

With a focus on freedom and liberty,
It's a place where minds come together and see,
The importance of preserving our way of life,
And standing up against political strife.

So if you're a conservative at heart,
Free Republic is where you should start,
To connect with others who share your views,
And make your voice heard, loud and true.

[liberalla]

46. That's a good poem. It's almost like Chat GPT is a member here...

[nolabear]

48. Doggerel.

Although I do fear AI, with enough input, might someday be able to emulate real art, this ain’t it.

[FreeState]

49. I got a different answer :)

Democratic Underground, a place of thought
Where ideas and opinions are freely wrought
A community of voices, all unique and diverse
Coming together to speak out and converse

A space for the left, where views are heard
Where the marginalized and oppressed are not deterred
From speaking their truth and standing tall
In a world that often tries to let them fall

Here, activism and progress are the norm
As members fight for a brighter, more just morn
With passion and conviction, they strive
For a world that is equal, fair, and alive

So let us raise our voices high
On Democratic Underground, where truth never dies
For a better world, we'll always fight
Together, as a community, we'll make things right.

Democratic Underground, a site for free speech,
A place for voices to come together and reach,
A community of activists and thinkers,
United in the fight for a better future, we're all linked.

With discussions on politics and news,
We strive to educate and never to abuse,
Our diversity is our strength,
As we work towards a world of equal length.

We may not always agree,
But in civil discourse we'll always see,
That with open minds and hearts,
We can make progress, and set new starts.

So let's raise our voices high,
On Democratic Underground we'll never die,
For freedom and democracy we'll always fight,
Together, a brighter future is in sight.

[Poiuyt]

51. Personally, I think this is scary

Not the poem. It's that a computer can create something like this. I think the implications are terrifying.
