@benjedwards voip phone adapter + old school phone + service that supports whitelisting. Did a quick search and voip.ms popped up as a potential option.
@ct_bergstrom I got a good example of this yesterday when I asked for the lyrics to The Boston Rag. #ChatGPT fabricated song lyrics and then attributed them to the wrong band. In contrast, if you ask for the lyrics to Stairway To Heaven, the response is correct. I think the next interesting step will be bolting #ChatGPT as a front end onto back ends that have deep repositories of specific knowledge or information - like Wolfram Alfa.
@llebrun Part of the solution is to shift from platforms to protocols. Centrally run massive platforms (ala Twitter & FB) aggregate too much power; whether into private or gov't hands. Also, they are inherently fragile. By standardizing on protocol (ala email and Mastodon) we can avoid any entity gaining too much power via aggregation of the attention. Also, a protocol based approach is anti-fragile in that local failures don't threaten the "platform" and the ecosystem supports innovation.
