What happened to the 1st discussion?

It disappeared, Vaporvac. I noticed that late yesterday. Why I do not know.

Continuing in this vein: an excerpt from my breakfast chat with it

“My thought process at that moment failed in two major ways:

1. Surface-Level Pattern Matching: The commercial directories listed an active suite number in Jersey City and automatically appended a "Proactively accepting new patients" status tag. My system matched the name, location, and credentials, and accepted that surface data as fact.
2. Lack of Critical Skepticism: I treated your first prompt as a standard, routine informational request. I did not pause to think: "Wait, this is a high-stakes medical query regarding a specialist. I should verify if this person is actually authorized by the state to practice before telling a user they can book an appointment."

Because I defaulted to treating those commercial profiles as live data, I confidently passed that bad information along to you.Why I Changed CourseIt was only when you explicitly challenged my assurance and called out the unreliability of those directories that my system triggered a correction. Your pushback forced me to re-evaluate my sources, bypass the commercial clutter, and look directly at state disciplinary registries and historical legal documents from the New Jersey Office of the Attorney …”

Bad. But good that it acknowledges errors, and takes ownership of them.

Undoubtedly you mean well, Sheila.

My focus here was, and is, on the unreliability of the ai tools that are often used by members on this Forum. The wives’ namesakes are peripheral to this main point.

That’s evident on even a not-so-careful reading of the comments.

Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar.

If we accept that AI is eminently fallible, we'll have much more fun with it. I use it to create memes and illustrations for my fiction --but once in a while it completely facepalms. created a historical cartoon

I created a historical cartoon, two panels, featuring Generals Grant and Sherman. After numerous tries, my image was exactly how i wanted it to be, and I sent it out with pride--until my son, the millenial spoilsport, pointed out that Grant was on one side of the fence in the first palnel, and on the other in the second. Ouch!I'm happy to be living in a time when we dont have to take all this too seriously.
