'Accent like a mouthful of gravel' - ChatGPT pokes fun at Hull in AI
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is one of the biggest talking points of 2023, with its ability to perform various tasks - from generating stand-up comedy to naming the most horrible place to live in the UK.
Hull has been at the receiving end of several jokes throughout the years, with one of its most recent being labelled the "worst place in the world" by Willie Mason, a former Hull KR player. However, AI is now joining in on the fun using ChatGPT - an artificial intelligence software developed by OpenAI that is known for its apparent creativity and 'human' responses.
ChatGPT has been heavily criticized for sometimes "hallucinating," inventing dubious 'facts' and alternate realities. Despite this, many people are using tools like ChatGPT to have a bit of fun and see what it can do. Comedian Russell Kane, for instance, recently asked the AI program to generate a stand-up routine about Swansea and posted the results on Facebook. ChatGPT's capabilities as a comedy-generating machine caught his attention.
However, there is a sinister side to AI, including its impact on jobs, industry, copyright, education, and privacy. Geoffrey Hinton, the 'godfather' of AI, recently resigned from his role at Google, warning that "bad actors" will use new technologies to harm others and that the tools he helped create could spell the end of humanity. Meanwhile, former UK government chief scientific adviser Sir Patrick Vallance told MPs that AI could have as big an impact on jobs as the industrial revolution.
Despite the potential negative outcomes, ChatGPT still remains a source of entertainment with its comedic routines. The AI software recently wrote a stand-up routine about Hull, which yielded an intriguing blend of amusing insights and downright bizarre observations. It was even compared to the Hatfield-McCoy feud of the late 1800s, which showed ChatGPT's distinctly American tinge. One cannot help but be impressed with the nuances and wacky stories it came up with.
In conclusion, AI's impact on society is still debatable, but ChatGPT shows that it can be a source of entertainment, as well as a tool for generating creative content. As long as its capabilities are used appropriately and ethically, ChatGPT and other AI software can provide a source of entertainment, and various other benefits.
