Confessions of a researchaholic

In my experiments so far ChatGPT often talks like a politician: a lot of sentences that sound plausible without much content, but sometimes it does give insightful answers like this one.

Do you think you can replace Google or other search engines?

I am a large language model trained by OpenAI and my primary function is to assist users in generating human-like text based on the input provided to me. I am not capable of replacing a search engine like Google or any other search engine. My abilities are limited to generating text based on the input provided to me, and I do not have access to the internet or any external information sources. I am not capable of providing answers to questions that require access to external information or performing any type of online search. My function is limited to generating text based on the input provided to me.

A few days ago I noticed that my MacBook terminals switched only the foreground text color but not the background color during automatic switching between the light and dark appearance modes, making most of the texts invisible.
After some investigation, I realized that it was caused by my prior manual tuning of the terminal background color, which MacOS then kept fixing regardless of the appearance modes.
The problem can be fixed by reverting to the original default.

The appearance of a new technology often changes how art is created and consumed but never replaced it.
The invention of camera made photography a new art form and shifted the portrait and landscape painters to focus more on styles than realism.
A similar trend is happening with language-based picture generation, which can shift from the traditional painting and rendering techniques towards ideas in language prompts.
