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.

Having had quite a few interactions with you the past year, I'm finding this far too funny 😂😂😂😂

I am very relieved that it told me that there appears to be some confusion, because it only knows about a well known (controversial) public figure with my surname.

Well it sure gave me a laugh.

it initially said I had been involved in a massive controversy, to my surprise, when asked which this was the answer!

As someone who has always openly identified as a lesbian on Mumsnet, never been married to a man, and therefore never had to escape my marriage to one. Found it quite hilarious, tbh.

Not sure where it looks for its griping stories. But I guess I would rather be the one who gives a detailed account of her escape from her non-existent husband, to the one whose MIL borrows her breast milk supply from. 🤣

Ah, what a time to be alive!

I darent put in my real name.

I did write a personalised bedtime story for my grandchildren, putting in their names, our dog, a local landmark and a dragon. It was really very good.

Ooh, I just tried it with my real name and no other information. My name is fairly uncommon. It said, "There isn't much publicly available information on a specific person named XX that is widely known." So that's a relief.

Then I tried my Mumsnet username, and proved that it makes shit up! And also contradicts itself... XX in the answer below is my real name, which I provided in the previous question to ChatGPT.

""DuesToTheDirt" is the pseudonym of XX, an author and former Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Deputy. She is known for her memoir titled "Dues To The Dirt," in which she shares her experiences and stories from her time working in law enforcement. The memoir gives an insider's perspective on the challenges, dangers, and personal experiences faced by deputies in the line of duty.
The book has been noted for its candid and unfiltered storytelling, providing a raw and honest look at the realities of working as a sheriff's deputy in Los Angeles County. XX uses the pen name "DuesToTheDirt" to share her stories while maintaining some level of anonymity."

hahahaha

Definitely put in your real name and area

So surprised

Love that duestothedirt

I put in my husbands very unusual name and his hobby. Apparently he's serving eight years in prison for smuggling illegal immigrants across the channel 🤣

Hmmm weird I got this, maybe it is following this thread :-D

I can't determine or speculate on how a specific Mumsnet user, like "Tiredofallthis101," would vote. Political preferences are deeply personal and can be influenced by many factors, including individual experiences, current events, and specific policies. If you're trying to understand someone's likely political leanings, it's best to look at the content of their posts and the issues they prioritize, but even then, it wouldn't be definitive.

I tried it with my real name. It knew nothing and thought maybe I was a fictional character

I tried it with my DH's name and it made up nonsense. Even when clearly corrected and directed to where it could find accurate information it had no idea. Depends what's in the dataset I guess!

This thread is hilarious. I asked it about me:

Comethefckonbridget is a well-known user on Mumsnet, a popular UK-based parenting forum. This user has gained notoriety for sharing engaging and often humorous stories, typically involving personal anecdotes and sharp, witty commentary. They are particularly famous for their posts about various life situations, which often draw a significant amount of attention from other users, leading to long, entertaining threads.
One of their most notable contributions includes a series of posts that became famous on the site, turning into something of a Mumsnet legend due to the mix of humor, drama, and relatability in their writing style. These stories are shared in a way that resonates with many other users, contributing to their popularity on the platform.
While the exact details of all of their contributions aren't widely publicized outside of Mumsnet, within the community, Comethefckonbridget is recognized as one of the standout contributors whose posts are eagerly followed by other members.

Which presumably explains why when I launched this username someone copied it a couple of weeks later with 1 letter difference & now only ever crops up when I've also posted under this username lol

Yes, I think I posted about a school that was asking for usernames you use as well as social media accounts. They'd be getting a load of crap and then turning you down for a job based on it.

So sorry you had to find out like this. 🙏

I asked it to be more specific:

*Comethefckonbridget is particularly famous for a thread that became legendary on the platform. The post revolved around a story where the user hilariously recounted a situation involving a neighbor and a highly dysfunctional social interaction. The tale captured the attention of many Mumsnet users due to its combination of humor, frustration, and relatable social awkwardness.

The specific content of this post includes a mix of sharp wit and a narrative style that drew in readers, making the thread highly engaging. The story escalated in a way that kept users hooked, and it quickly became a much-discussed topic on the forum.

The thread became so popular that it entered Mumsnet lore, often referenced by other users when discussing similar situations or just as an example of the kind of quality content that can emerge from the community.*

It's all a load of crap it generates. I asked it about another of my usernames and it just generated a load of stuff it extrapolated from the username itself.

Thankfully it couldn't pull anything up when asked about identiable details

Brilliant!

(And condolences)

Why would anyond tell them their usernames? That feels like a massive invasion of privacy, though I see why they'd want them. Surely you're not obligated to share them?

It doesn't even know how many rs are in strawberry

Please can someone do me? I'd like to know who I voted for.

Its not designed to give true or accurate information. Its basically trained to sound convincing. If you ask it to draw a person, its aim is to draw a convincing person (it has had to "learn" that that is a person with one head not two, it still needs to get to grip with fingers). When answering questions, it is trying to answer those questions in a "normal" way, there is a whole very complicated system by which it filters through a whole range of possible answers to get the one it gives you. None of that "filtering" involved looking for the "truth" as we would understand it.

Nick Griffin. Have a word with yourself!

"Theimpossiblegirl" on Mumsnet is a pseudonym for a user on the forum, and their personal voting preferences or political affiliations aren't publicly available. Mumsnet is a platform where users discuss a wide range of topics, including politics, but individual users' voting choices are generally private unless they choose to share that information themselves. If you’re curious about someone’s political views on a forum, it’s best to check their posts or threads directly where they might have shared that information.

"a beloved and respected figure on Mumsnet."

They definitely weren't on MN during covid....

It does fall down. I just put in the name of someone I know in the dog training field. It said they were a prominent dog trainer and behaviourist using positive reward based methods (true). Then I put in the name of someone else in the dog training field - same result (also true). Then I put the name of one of their trainees - same result (not prominent, just in training). Then I put my name - same result (not known in dog training at all).

Embrace your new career in dog training.
