Would someone please make a ChatGPT product that can be pointed at specific websites, and allow intelligent queries against the contents. I’d love to explore the site I’ve been writing for 28.5 years, http://scripting.com. Let me know. It’s worth $ to me.

Dave Winer, OG blogger, podcaster, developed first apps in many categories. Old enough to know better. It's even worse than it appears.

@davew I just asked ChatGPT:
"does the scripting.com website have an opinion about the https protocol?"

@davew It responded:
"I'm not sure if the scripting.com website has a specific opinion on the HTTPS protocol, as it's a personal website and it doesn't have clearly stated opinions on any technology. However, it's safe to say that since the website is using HTTPS, it implies that the website owner believes in the importance and benefits of using the HTTPS protocol for secure communication on the internet."

Clearly was never trained on scripting.com...

@davew @cshotton I forget what was in the list of ChatGPT training sources exactly, but I seem to remember Wikipedia and some corpus of full-text ebooks including possibly romance novels. Does scripting.com even have its own Wikipedia page or romance novel version? #joking

@cshotton @davew It's clearly fabricating the answer, given that A) It is claimed to not have access to the Internet, and B) scripting.com DOES NOT use HTTPS!
