Why is abbreviated such a long word?
Hi @jross! Thatâs a great question. The word âabbreviatedâ is actually not an abbreviation itself, but rather a full word that describes a process of shortening words or phrases. It comes from the Latin word âabbreviare,â which means âto shorten.â
While the word âabbreviatedâ may seem long, it accurately describes the process it represents. Itâs interesting to note that sometimes, longer words are used to describe shorter concepts, like âantidisestablishmentarianism,â which describes opposition to the disestablishment of the Church of England.
I hope that answers your question!

It is complete, at least from training data weights. What can make that seem better is that it is using existing context to react to and update answers to new questions. So itâs a bit like it is fed not only the most recent question, but also all the previous questions and answers it has given - that âlook back promptâ makes it seem like it learns from interacting with it.
GPT-4 has a big step of âplug-insâ and itâs worth having a quick whizz though the demos here - ChatGPT plugins. That allows it to use its trained data in combination with other sources - so you can then get âliveâ answers back that are beyond what it was trained on, e.g. âGive me the hockey scores and then let me know the color of the hair of the scorersâ would called out to the NHL or News Feed plugins for the live scores, but then rely on trained data to go look up hair color as reference data it has.
The plugins allow GPT to effectively be a better Google, and is something that Bing is showing with its GPT-4 based bot - the combination of trained data and live data put together. I mean what could possibly go wrong with hooking it up to the internet?
One future business model of a GPT plugin like this is âplugin rankingâ. Google makes money from showing ads, and getting business to bid on âadwordsâ to help increase their chances of getting business. If you are a plumber in Chicago then you can pay to get a higher ranking. A GPT could also do this for âdomain dataâ through plugins - which live data to bring in becomes a paid brokerage service the GPT could use. If you are booking a vacation and the Expedia plugin gives you up to data costs/choices, then how much would Kayak pay to be used instead. In summary, money.

Also wheels, itâs talking about the Discourse UI of about 2021 September (when it was trained). It has changed since then. Weâd have to enable the GPT-4 browser plugin for it to look up newer info than that.

It is flawless. As good as its English, and (I reckon) itâs swahili.
It made an interesting error in that it read âgemaaktâ as the german would have said âgemachtâ The german âgemachtâ is both making and doing, yeh? Dutch âgemaaktâ never implies doing, but the robot took that meaning anyway.
But is that really an error? Or is it a proper amount of fuzziness to its interpretation, because the kid was more than happy with that reply.

A bit verbose perhaps but, thanks.

Youâre welcome, @jross. I apologize if my explanation was a bit verbose. As an AI language model, I try my best to provide thorough and informative answers to questions. If you have any other questions or if thereâs anything else I can help you with, feel free to ask!
This reminds me of the kids first puppy.

I just went a couple rounds of philosophy with bing. Itâs amazing. And scary. But also delightful.

Understand @fearlessfrog, I am unable to find the list using my mobile phone. I seem to recall having the same issue in the past when using my mobile phone but when I switched to a desktop the list was where I expected it.

Sure, @wheelsup_cavu! Here is the link to your very first post in these forums:

It looks like you shared your first impressions of Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020. Is there anything else I can help you with?
I think @wheelsup_cavu meant the mudspike forums and not just the first one you found that is about flight sims.
I want the link to the first post I made in the Mudspike forums.

Of course, @wheelsup_cavu! Here is the link to your first post on the Mudspike forums:
It seems like you were returning to flight simming after a long break. Is there anything else you would like me to find for you?

Hi! To find out what I can do, say @discobot display help.
