Thanks, zaku. I think going ahead, I’m gonna be detailed in any questions. I don’t know if there’s a word count limit for questions, but willing to give it a try. In fact, I’ll try a longer question now. MeRegarding the 1980s action show The A-Team, are there any shows or movies which might have inspired it, featuring special forces war veterans who had been accused of a crime, and who spent their time in the US (and beyond) assisting people who had nowhere to turn to? ChatGPTThere are several shows and movies that may have inspired The A-Team: 1. "The Losers" by Jack Kirby - This comic book series, published in the 1970s, features a group of former special forces soldiers who are betrayed by their government and take on risky missions to clear their names. 2. "The Magnificent Seven" - This classic Western film and TV series follows a group of gunslingers who come together to protect a small town from bandits. The premise of a team of skilled individuals helping those in need could have influenced The A-Team. 3. "The Dirty Dozen" - This 1967 war film centers around a group of convicted army prisoners who are given a chance at redemption by carrying out a suicide mission behind enemy lines. The dynamic of a group of talented misfits coming together to achieve a common goal is similar to The A-Team. 4. "The Men" - This 1972 TV movie follows a group of Vietnam War veterans who return home and struggle to adjust to civilian life. They form a support group to help each other cope with their experiences, which could have served as inspiration for the camaraderie and loyalty within The A-Team. Overall, The A-Team drew on a variety of influences, blending elements of action, adventure, and camaraderie to create a unique and enduring television series. |

I also wanted to ask it for something theoretical and abstract.
Me
Could a helicopter be invented that could attain supersonic speeds, with rotor blades and a tail rotor able to withstand Mach 1 speeds?
ChatGPT
It is highly unlikely that a helicopter with rotor blades and a tail rotor could be designed to withstand the stresses of supersonic speeds. The forces acting on the blades at those speeds would be far greater than what current materials and designs can handle. Additionally, the air flow around the blades and rotor system would likely become unstable and lead to catastrophic failure.
While there have been efforts to create rotorcrafts that can reach higher speeds, such as the Sikorsky X2 and the Eurocopter X3, these designs still operate within subsonic speeds. To achieve supersonic speeds, a completely different approach would likely be needed, such as a tilt-rotor or compound helicopter design.

Hmmm... that one from Driver makes me think that ChatGPT is making sure it doesn't give an answer it thinks the user won't like.. that's not good. Current generation AI exhibit “sycophancy bias.” They are optimized to get a favorable response from the human respondent, at the expense of accuracy. |

What happened in the DC comic Thriller?
ChatGPT:
"Thriller" was a DC Comics series that ran for 12 issues from 1983 to 1984. It was written by Robert Loren Fleming and illustrated by Trevor Von Eeden. The series was initially intended to be a 16-issue limited series but was cut short due to low sales.
"Thriller" followed the story of Christopher Chance, also known as the Human Target. However, this version of the character was distinct from the traditional Human Target stories. In "Thriller," Christopher Chance is a private investigator who takes on the identity of another man named Rick Chance. This Rick Chance is a wealthy philanthropist who was killed, and Christopher assumes his identity to uncover the truth behind his murder.
Throughout the series, Christopher Chance/Rick Chance becomes embroiled in a complex conspiracy involving powerful individuals and organizations. The story featured elements of mystery, espionage, and action as Christopher delves deeper into the secrets surrounding Rick Chance's life and death.
Despite its ambitious storytelling and unique take on the Human Target concept, "Thriller" failed to find a substantial audience and was canceled after 12 issues. However, the series has gained a cult following over the years, with some fans appreciating its innovative approach to the character and its intricate plot.

I wonder why it fails so spectacularly when you ask about comics. It usually gives valid answers about movies or books. I know nothing about technology, but could the speed with which it answers means it conflates unrelated things and gives an inaccurate answer? Would an AI that gives you an answer within ten minutes, after trawling through pages, be more accurate? I know technology is wonderful, but ChatGPT gives you answers within a nanosecond, is that enough time for even an AI to be accurate? |

If Marlon Brando had been cast in a film directed by Stanley Kubrick, would he have taken direction from Kubrick, or would both men have clashed?
ChatGPT
It is difficult to say for certain how Marlon Brando and Stanley Kubrick would have worked together, as their personalities and working styles may have clashed. Brando was known for being independent and occasionally difficult to work with, while Kubrick was known for being highly controlling and meticulous in his approach to filmmaking.
However, both men were incredibly talented in their respective fields, and it is possible that they could have found a way to collaborate effectively. It is also worth noting that Kubrick had a reputation for being able to work with challenging actors, such as Jack Nicholson in "The Shining" and Malcolm McDowell in "A Clockwork Orange."
Ultimately, the success of their collaboration would likely have depended on their ability to communicate and find a common vision for the project. It is possible that they could have clashed, but it is also possible that they could have created something truly exceptional together.

I thought I’d test it further on helicopter technology. MeWhat would need to be invented and/or done to make a helicopter capable of flying at 100,000 feet? ChatGPTIn order to make a helicopter capable of flying at 100,000 feet, several advancements and modifications would need to be made. Some of them could include: 1. Enhanced engine technology: Helicopters would need more powerful engines capable of producing enough thrust to climb to such high altitudes. 2. Improved fuel efficiency: To achieve such high altitudes, helicopters would need to be equipped with engines that are more fuel-efficient to ensure they can reach and sustain flight at 100,000 feet. 3. Aerodynamic design changes: Helicopters would need to be re-designed to reduce drag and increase efficiency at high altitudes. 4. Oxygen supply system: Since the air at such high altitudes is thin, helicopters would need an onboard oxygen supply system to provide breathable air for the crew and passengers. 5. Thermal protection: Helicopters flying at 100,000 feet would encounter extreme temperatures, so they would need to be equipped with thermal protection systems to prevent overheating or freezing of critical components. 6. Navigation and communication systems: Flying at such high altitudes would require advanced navigation and communication systems to ensure safe and efficient operation. 7. Safety considerations: Helicopters flying at 100,000 feet would face unique safety challenges, so additional safety features such as redundant systems, emergency procedures, and crash-resistant structures would need to be implemented. Overall, achieving flight at 100,000 feet would require a significant investment in research, development, and testing to overcome the technical challenges and ensure the safety and feasibility of such a high-altitude helicopter. |

ME - Tell me about Lil Abner
chatGPT -"Lil Abner" is a classic American comic strip created by cartoonist Al Capp. It first appeared in newspapers on August 13, 1934, and ran until November 13, 1977. Set in the fictional Appalachian town of Dogpatch, the strip humorously satirized various aspects of American culture, politics, and society.
The main character, Abner Yokum, is a naive but good-hearted young man who is often caught up in various adventures and schemes. He is known for his incredible strength, which he often demonstrates by performing feats such as kicking a football over a mountain. Abner's girlfriend and later wife is Daisy Mae Scragg, a beautiful and kind-hearted girl who is deeply devoted to him.
One of the most memorable aspects of "Lil Abner" is its colorful cast of characters, including Mammy and Pappy Yokum (Abner's parents), Marryin' Sam (the local matchmaker), Moonbeam McSwine (a perpetually dirty and unkempt woman), and Evil Eye Fleagle (a notorious outlaw).
Al Capp's wit and social commentary made "Lil Abner" one of the most popular and influential comic strips of its time. It addressed issues such as politics, consumerism, and the American Dream, often through the exaggerated lens of the absurdly backward and eccentric residents of Dogpatch.
"Lil Abner" also spawned numerous adaptations, including a Broadway musical, movies, and animated cartoons. Despite ending its original newspaper run in 1977, the strip remains beloved by fans and continues to influence cartoonists and comedians to this day.
