First DOTC ChatGPT 4.0 Creation: "15 Minute Cities"

Here we go, here we go, here we go...

Chat GPT4 has been out for hours and I am just now getting to the app to create content.

I first heard of "15 Minute Cities" a week ago and attended an online presentation about 15 Minute Cities this morning, about three hours ago - the idea is new, and I figured testing GPT with a prescient concept would be nifty.

My Primary Prompt: 

"Please explain the 15 Minute City and its impact on Office Technology sales"

Straightforward, open, and vague - a 'softball'.

My Secondary Prompt

"Write a title, funny tagline, keyword list, intro paragraph for a LinkedIn post, image prompt, song recommendation that matches the concept of the article, and Tweet."

My Tertiaray Prompt

"Please write a 3 bullet executive summary."

Enclosed is the result of both prompts without any human manipulation.  There has been no more direction than the three prompts.

Enjoy.

Wired's Ground Rules for Using Generative AI Tools in Journalism

Wired's Ground Rules for Using Generative AI Tools in Journalism

With all the hullabaloo around ethical AI, AI-generated term papers, news articles, content, and the fear of bias and misinformation, I found the evil desire to have AI write an article about the article, irresistible, irony.

ChatGPT Enhanced content.

Generative AI tools have become popular among journalists in recent times, with some publications trying to use them to generate news stories. Wired magazine, however, has established strict ground rules for its use of generative AI tools to ensure ethical and appropriate circumspection.

How the Adult Film Industry Helped Shape Technology as We Know It

Sex sells, but it also inspires: How the adult film industry shaped the tech landscape we know and love.

Ok - here we go... a walk down memory lane and talk about the good old days of VHS and dial-up internet and porn. 

The adult film industry played a significant role in shaping the technology we use today. From the format wars to online streaming, porn was at the forefront of innovation. 

Today, as we enter the age of AI-based personal assistants, I'm left wondering: how will porn drive the evolution and standards? How'd porn impact tech in the past, and what it could mean for the future of AI.

First, we've been here before.  No matter how evolved one might think the human race is, base desires still drive progress in all things.  There's a coined phrase, "erotic technology impulse".  

John Tierney, a fellow at Columbia University studied the cultural impact of technology, traced the “erotic technological impulse” back at least 27,000 years—among the first clay-fired figures uncovered from that time were women with enhanced body parts. 

“Sometimes the erotic has been a force driving technological innovation,” Tierney wrote in The New York Times in 1994, “virtually always, from Stone Age sculpture to computer bulletin boards, it has been one of the first uses for a new medium.”

Fascinating.
