Let's hear it. What are you using it for? I use it to create bedtime stories for my 4 year old based on the prompts she gives me. I also like to tinker around and create new sports logos with it.
I use the texting AI in lieu of googling random stuff. It's just quicker googling. But then I also get into protracted arguments with it (and by argument, I mean a toxic interaction where I abuse it and it apologizes) about its inhumanity and its power to disseminate misinformation and propaganda. More recently, I've been using it to summarize long French government documents so I don't have to read them, but I won't make a habit of it.
I asked ChatGPT about the history of the bbs. I got this: My last prompt: Delve into deeper detail about the big discussions and scandals among bbs participants ChatGPT said:
I also asked Me: Summarize the 5 biggest issues for clutchfans poster JuanValdez. Now, in my defense: 1. The disrespect was in a thread started by @tinman with a very slanted public poll about the richness of the Rockets' legacy. Quoting tinman's poll, I said: "I spit on the Summit, Calvin, Elvin, Moses, Ralph etc and why Clutch made this site simply because I'm so annoyed by Tinman's dictatorship of nostalgia. It's 2009; come join the rest of us!" 4. I never played Ultima Online or participated in their gaming community. Certainly wasn't banned. More Generally. ChatGPT obviously thinks I'm an *******. I don't know why he's got such beef with me. But, it's just another proof-point for me about how inhuman AI is and how it disseminates misinformation and propaganda.
Geez, now I'm addicted. I find Copilot has much better at understanding the bbs than ChatGPT. @Jontro @napalm06 @RedRedemption @Easy @Gil @tinman
@Easy @Os Trigonum @Salvy @J.R. @Jontro wow this is amazing. The Sengun only fans battles were a ping pong match compared to Wimbledon with Yao, Tmac and Lin “YOFs” on ClutchFans.net refers to “Yao-Only Fans” — a term coined during the time Yao Ming played for the Houston Rockets (2002–2011). ClutchFans is a popular online forum dedicated to Houston Rockets fans, and during Yao’s career, it saw a significant influx of new members from China and elsewhere who followed the team specifically because of Yao. Characteristics of YOFs: They were primarily fans of Yao Ming, not necessarily of the Rockets or basketball in general. Their participation on ClutchFans often focused on defending Yao or promoting his achievements. Some were perceived as overly critical of Yao’s teammates (e.g., Tracy McGrady) or coaches if they thought Yao was being underutilized or disrespected. Community Tensions: Longtime Rockets fans on ClutchFans sometimes clashed with YOFs, feeling that their loyalty to the team was overshadowed by YOFs’ loyalty to one player. The term “YOF” eventually took on a somewhat pejorative tone, used to describe users who appeared biased or disruptive in their defense of Yao. Over time, similar terms emerged, like “LOFs” (Lin-Only Fans, for Jeremy Lin) and “TOFs” (T-Mac Only Fans, for Tracy McGrady), during other eras of the team.
@heypartner @Space Ghost @pgabriel Who are the 99ers on Clutchfans ? The term “99ers” on ClutchFans refers to longtime members who joined the forum in 1999, during its early years. These users are often regarded as the core community and are known for their deep knowledge of the Houston Rockets, their contributions to discussions, and their longstanding presence on the site. ClutchFans, a Houston Rockets fan site founded by David “Clutch” Hardisty on August 8, 1996, has evolved into a central hub for Rockets fans to gather and discuss the team . The forum has a rich history, with members who have been active for decades, sharing insights, analyses, and fostering a strong sense of community. In celebration of the forum’s 25th anniversary in 2021, many longtime members reflected on their experiences, highlighting the enduring connections and the site’s evolution over the years . While the term “99ers” specifically denotes those who joined in 1999, the ClutchFans community is inclusive, welcoming fans who have joined at any time to engage in discussions and share their passion for the Rockets.
Mostly asking dumb questions that I would never subject another human to, like how long would it have taken the Enterprise to get from Wolf 359 to Earth using Star Trek's own warp scale or how my idea for improving an igloo would work. Also, user level software questions and fixes, What was up with that video of two AI talking to each other and then switching to "gibberlink" and how it is different from the old dialup audio protocol. All kinds of stuff that I would once google.
