I wonder if this AI could do a better job than the humans did writing the Penthouse Forums back in the day.

An excerpt from the first chapter:
Chapter 1
Lady Shadow glided into The Midnight Lounge, her presence commanding attention without
effort. The soft glow of holographic displays cast an ethereal aura around her sleek, black
attire. Her piercing gaze swept across the room, taking in every detail with calculated
precision.
Regulars nodded respectfully as she passed, a silent acknowledgment of her status. She
approached the bar, her movements fluid and purposeful.
"The usual," she said, her voice clear and authoritative.
The bartender, a cybernetically enhanced individual with glowing circuitry tracing his arms,
nodded and set about preparing her drink. Lady Shadow leaned against the bar, her posture
relaxed yet alert.
As the bartender worked, she scanned the room once more. The lounge was a blend of light and
shadow, filled with the quiet murmur of conversations and the occasional clink of glasses.
Patrons huddled in booths, their faces illuminated by the soft glow of data pads and neural
interfaces.
Her drink arrived - a complex concoction that shimmered with an otherworldly iridescence. She
took a sip, savoring the intricate blend of flavors that danced across her palate. The cool liquid
provided a stark contrast to the warmth of the lounge.
Lady Shadow's gaze lingered on a group of corporate types in the corner, their expensive suits
and augmented reality monocles marking them as out of place in this den of rebellion. Her eyes
narrowed slightly, cataloging their faces for future reference.
She moved to a secluded booth, the plush seating molding to her form. From this vantage
point, she could observe the entire lounge while remaining relatively inconspicuous. The soft
jazz playing in the background seemed to fade away as she delved into her thoughts.
Her current life was a far cry from the privileged upbringing she had once known. The weight of
responsibility pressed down on her shoulders, a constant reminder of the path she had chosen.
She ran her fingers along the edge of the table, feeling the smooth, cool surface grounding her
in the present.
I haven't heard of an AI detector that doesn't emit a huge amount of false positives.Pangram Labs AI Detection
Easy to use AI detector to check for writing by ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, and more. | Free to use | High accuracy | Phrase highlightingwww.pangramlabs.com
99.99% AI.
Like the dude wasn't even trying, all that "prompt engineering" did nothing.
I’ve always suspected you are just ai.I haven't heard of an AI detector that doesn't emit a huge amount of false positives.
This one is very good. Try to deceive it in either direction.I haven't heard of an AI detector that doesn't emit a huge amount of false positives.
Just checked it and got the same results, very interesting!This one is very good. Try to deceive it in either direction.
Even with highly engineered prompts to Claude, going for the most natural and/or stylized outputs that haven't looked AI to my eye, I haven't been able to beat 94%. Meanwhile, nothing human I've fed it gets past 1%.
Hey, I'm not a bot, I'm not here to bullshit you. Or, when I am, it's very convincing bullshit.Just checked it and got the same results, very interesting!

OpenAI as we knew it is dead
The maker of ChatGPT promised to share its profits with the public. But Sam Altman just sold you out.www.vox.com
I personally just dont think a LLM is "AI" - as in my mind, AI is defined as something that has some kind of sentience. LLM's could fool a person into thinking they have some sentience, but when you understand how they work - you realize thats obviously not the case. In my own personal timeline of advances in the tech industry, I think they are the next iteration of the Search Engine. The search engine, especially in its prime, was revolutionary for the web - so thats not a knock on it, by any means. But we've seen how search engines have degraded over the years since its prime, in an effort to monetize it. Once the LLM's reach their peak, Im curious how theyre going to figure out how to monetize it then. Cause I just dont believe the masses will sign up for a monthly fee.Linus Torvalds reckons AI is ‘90% marketing and 10% reality’
The Linux creator is interested in AI, but the hype means he "basically ignores" it.www.tomshardware.com
During the highlighted interview segment, Torvalds attempted to see the potential in AI, but relentless industry hype is taking its toll. “I think AI is really interesting, and I think it is going to change the world. And, at the same time, I hate the hype cycle so much that I really don’t want to go there,” said the tech icon.
I agree with you, for me to consider a true AI, it will need to be able to learn new things, not just training up to a date etc.I personally just dont think a LLM is "AI" - as in my mind, AI is defined as something that has some kind of sentience.

But, I could just be full of shit and out of touch. What do I know.

So what are the current options for Chatbots? I previously dumped OpenAI, and now Grok for different reasons. What options are there?
