@swearyanthony @NewtonMark @jamesh @dannolan @ausfestivus hey all, have been reeling a bit from the news on waking up this morning, and was already talking about how lovely a (very early in my career) commission that was, from a truly compassionate, wickedly funny and intelligent person. I am sure/I hope I have the images archived somewhere, but am in transit atm. Will try to grab them ASAP. But also, thoughts with you all. Vale to a real one.
I think I may have finished scripting my long-ish form comic for this year! Yay!
As an interesting follow-up, chatgpt now claims to not have any information in its training data about me. I wonder what that previous request triggered?
@ben_hr what is especially intriguing is what it does get right that’s not common knowledge (the lecturing bit). Guess you take a vague stab at the kind of person someone is, and you probably hit a few of the right notes
@oliyoung I do like that one, but I feel like it’s slightly adjacent sometimes. It’s the people pleasing element
Also wrong uni, study, general field is right but while I probably do more design than illustration on any given day I’ve never explicitly worked in it. It’s so interesting.
I wonder if it’ll buy me a pint, given it’s so keen on being friends?
It’s intriguing that it fills gaps with kind of half-formed truths (I have won neither of those awards and any I have are shorty story or journalism related, for better or worse)
I really love the idea of ChatGPT as a bullshitter, ie. vaguely accurate but more interesting in selling the idea it knows.
But I think it’s a specific kind of bullshitter: the guy who pretends he knows your favourite band in around 2001 and gets the general gist but no specific facts right.
Example: I asked it to give me a bio (a reasonable amount of info is online about, about the same amount as a local band then).
It kind of gets my deal, but none of the facts
