ChatGPT = Holy F***ing S**t😱

I’m not going to post the whole thing (used up me quota) but yesterday I stumped it with math.

Given a series of 5 years with 20% more saved each year than the previous year, and knowing the total (y) saved at the end, how much must be saved in the first year(x) ?

Genereated reams of algebra, with values for x ranging wildly, but every attempt ended in a quit.

Interesting if nothing else!

Brent Ozar is testing ChatGPT with SQL server questions :slight_smile:

Here’s the problem with ChatGPT.

It speaks with the same level of authority no matter how much or little confidence it has in its answers. It never says ā€œI thinkā€ or ā€œI suspectā€ or ā€œPerhapsā€ or ā€œI don’t know.ā€ It just confidently struts right onstage and speaks loudly.

I stopped after four questions because I think these 4 really sum up the problem with ChatGPT today.

If you have tech questions, ChatGPT could theoretically be useful if you already know the right answers, and you can weed out the garbage. But … if you already know the right answers, what’s the point?

I do think AI has tons of good uses, like writing real estate listing text, but answering database questions isn’t one of ’em.

Just wanted to comment on the usefulness of ChatGPT for solving an SSRS question. I almost posted the question here but decided to try ChatGPT first. I wanted to change the date that printed at the top of our traveler based on whether a coating operation was present in the engineering or not. The ability for it to reference earlier information in the chat is invaluable - basically it walked me through how to test for a value present in the OpCode field anywhere in the dataset with baby steps along the way as I made changes. Additionally it explained how/why an approach was used. Incredibly helpful tool.

First attempt produced:
=IIF(First(Fields!OpCode.Value, ā€œJobHeadā€) = ā€œCoatingā€, ā€œReq:ā€ + " " + First(Fields!ReqDueDate.Value, ā€œJobHeadā€), ā€œFalseā€)

Final version (prints ā€œCoat on: mm/dd/yyyyā€ where the date is the Req By date -7 days):
=IIF(Count(IIF(Fields!OpCode.Value = ā€œCoatingā€, 1, Nothing), ā€œJobHeadā€) > 0, ā€œCoat on:ā€ + " " + Format(DateAdd(DateInterval.Day, -7, First(Fields!ReqDueDate.Value, ā€œJobHeadā€)), ā€œMM/dd/yyyyā€), ā€œReq:ā€ + " " + First(Fields!ReqDueDate.Value, ā€œJobHeadā€))

I thought limericks were the ones where lines 1, 2, and 5 rhymed.

So you’re saying the poem, ā€œThere once was a man from Nantucketā€ is really a sonnet?

The Limerick I believe is AABBA rhyming pattern!

There once was a traitor name Krusen
Who was teaching a limerick lesson
He wasn’t so pleased
When they moved all his cheese
And his post didn’t get the solution.

KREW-zin doesn’t rhyme with lesson.

And yes I’ve heard "Krusen for a bruisin’ "

Well, it’s the best I could do in a few minutes.

Hmm. Getting deja-vu. I’m sure I’ve said that before… :thinking:

But some days, you can’t win for loozin’
