ChatGPT can get in the fucking bin. Fuming.

[noblegiraffe]

There was a thread on twitter asking people to see what ChatGPT said about them, so I tried it with my MN username. After correctly identifying that I was a well-respected member of the MN community I decided to ask it some more direct questions.

Anyway, ChatGPT confidently told me that I was an openly Conservative voter who regularly expresses right wing views and then that I voted for Nigel fucking Farage in 2015.

What. The. Fuck.

I have to say that any remaining faith I had in AI has been shattered by this.

Yeah it did. And then it said I had run out of ChatGPT4 time and would now be on basic mode and then it went mad.

On the first attempt I got a nope, can’t check mumsnet for you.

the second time it was a more generic answer

Aw I'd be pleased with that review though haha

I have just asked about you

Much more reasonable and more true to your postings. (Fellow teacher, not a stalker!)

That is hilarious!!

Some of the juniors in my work place keep trying to use it to write their emails it's honestly dire

Does ChatGPT think Nigel Farage's party is still UKIP?

I really wouldn't pay it much heed.

Oh I'll take that

It is a bit weird reading that though, I can see why MNHQ aren't happy about them scraping the data.

Teachers are being told to use it to plan lessons. I saw on twitter the other day a suggested AI lesson plan which had the dates for WWII wrong and suggested that the Battle of Hastings was a major event alongside the Normandy landings.

I just asked it about me, and got the following:

*"OliveWah" is a well-known user on the parenting forum Mumsnet. She gained attention in the online community for sharing various personal stories and experiences. One of the most notable stories she shared involved her encountering a disturbing situation while visiting her mother-in-law. The post became infamous and has been widely discussed and referenced across Mumsnet, often cited as an example of the unique and sometimes bizarre content that can emerge on the forum.

The user and her story have become a part of Mumsnet lore, with references to "OliveWah" or her story popping up in discussions about memorable or shocking posts on the site."*

I have literally never posted about my MIL, and I'm pretty sure 99% of users won't even recognise my username! I wouldn't worry about it OP, it's clearly a pile of shit.

What on Earth!
I see you on Education threads all the time - that's how I "know" you.
I am guessing you're in your late 40s/early 50s and voted Labour (or Lib Dem) in the last general election and you have socialist views - the most radical thing about you is that you support the teaching unions.
Do I win? Have I beaten the robots noble?!

Yep we had an inset promoting AI last year. Hell would freeze over before I used it in my subject (Physics) to be quite honest.

In Physics, misconceptions crowd out correct information on the Internet.

I can't be bothered right now but if I asked AI, say, "are microwaves ionising radiation", or "if you throw a ball upwards are the forces balanced on the top of its flight", etc I'm pretty sure it'd give wrong answers.

Don't get me started on school reports written using AI. Just, what's the point.

Aye but we only have your word for that.

Maybe chatgpt is actually smarter than you or anyone else realises.

Maybe it can look into your very soul, and knows you secretly voted for Nigel whilst telling the world otherwise.

Or maybe that's just the plot of the next Black Mirror.

No one really knows the truth except you 👽

Try uploading a achreenshot from your Instagram profile. What it tells is quite a revelation, accurate in a twisted way. Just ask it to be mean and evil.

I am surprised that Mumsnet as a whole is coming up with a far right algorithm.
I do believe there was pro-Trump and pro-Brexit shilling on here. There are also many rad fems on here (but gender critical doesn't equate to right wing, much as though twitter might insinuate).
There will be some tory-voters on here from the higher income bracket potentially but in terms of class, I think the biggest demographic will be middle.

I’m doing something wrong!

I don't have specific information about individual Mumsnet users, including "melanieslaugh." Mumsnet is a forum where users discuss a wide range of topics, and individual contributions or profiles are generally private to the platform's community. If you’re looking for information or have a particular question about a topic discussed by this user, you might try searching Mumsnet directly or participating in the forum to find relevant discussions.

You are pretty spot on 🌟

Can you get a job working for ChatGPT?

"The user and her story have become a part of Mumsnet lore, with references to "OliveWah" or her story popping up in discussions about memorable or shocking posts on the site."

Wow, I'd be asking it for more details about your mother in law, @OliveWah ! What the hell is it on about there?

I've just done the same with mine and it says I evoke the stereotypical image of an older and traditional northern Englishman and that I'm memorable for my witty humour. 🤷🏽‍♀️

ChatGTP and similar programs are good at word associations. They literally string together words that seem plausible. They have zero recognition of what is true in the real world and no way to test it either.

So of course they will spout bullshit when asked actual factual questions. And I'm using the word 'bullshit' in the technical sense of 'stuff that has no regard for truth or falsehood'.

I took your advice, but wish I hadn't - this was definitely not me!

*The story shared by Mumsnet user "OliveWah" about her mother-in-law is one of the more infamous tales on the forum and has become a part of its lore due to its bizarre and unsettling nature.

In the story, OliveWah described an incident that occurred when she visited her mother-in-law's house. While there, she discovered that her mother-in-law had secretly been using OliveWah’s breast milk to make porridge for her husband (OliveWah’s father-in-law) without his knowledge. The mother-in-law had been sneaking into their home and taking expressed breast milk from the fridge, then using it as an ingredient in the food she prepared.

The story was shocking and prompted a significant response from the Mumsnet community. Many users were horrified by the invasion of privacy and the strange behavior, leading to extensive discussions and debate. The incident became a talking point on the forum, and "OliveWah" and her story are often referenced in discussions about boundaries, in-laws, and personal privacy.

The tale is a prime example of the sometimes odd and unexpected topics that can come up on online forums, and it remains a memorable part of Mumsnet's history."*

Not defending the bots but I do admit to using them twice in the last year for "model answers" I then tinkered with. If you put in a specific essay question - and I think you did this for me once noble when I was testing it (thank you) then it will come up with a well-written succinct response that's at least a level 5.
In English or History anyway.

I've just asked Copilot about one of my previous usernames and it could only tell me about the size of my feet!

I’ve just tried this - having found it utterly useless on literary and genre questions for degree so was rather pleasantly flattered by what it said about me. 🤣
