I've been using ChatGPT/GPT-3 as a French tutor, to answer questions about different ways to say things, formally or informally. It's not always accurate, but still I learn from it. Amusingly, there's a mildly rude expression that means "I don't care," and ChatGPT's strong aversion to swearing biased it toward completely fabricating a word-for-word translation. It insisted that the verb was a conjugation of something innocuous, and when I pointed out that that verb doesn't conjugate that way, it both agreed with me and continued insisting. It seems to have a pretty solid grasp of language in general (so long as you don't need any hard logic), and it's a fun tool to come up with ideas you personally never had before. This was a little experiment the other day; it's delightful how many silly (yet justified) reasons why you can't walk to Hawaii it came up with. But what do you expect from someone who's only learned about the world by reading the Internet? > By "unsummarizing" we mean to take some text and expand upon it at length, using fancy words, extra facts, anecdotes, and interesting observations. Your goal is to unsummarize the following text as much as possible. > Text to unsummarize: What do you mean I can't walk to Hawaii? (GPT-3 follows) > You may be surprised to learn that it is impossible to walk to the Hawaiian Islands from anywhere on the mainland United States. Though the Hawaiian Islands are located in the middle of the Pacific Ocean and are roughly 2,400 miles away from the nearest point on the mainland, it is not possible to walk there due to the vast expanse of ocean between them. Even the most dedicated and determined walker would be unable to traverse the depths of the Pacific. The nearest point of land to the Hawaiian Islands is the Johnston Atoll, which is located approximately 1,400 miles away. That is to say, it is not feasible to traverse the 1,000 miles of open ocean between Johnston Atoll and the Hawaiian Islands by foot. > The Hawaiian Islands were formed as a result of volcanic activity, and the chain of islands were formed over millions of years. This activity is responsible for creating the immense walls of water that separate the islands from the mainland. The Pacific is one of the deepest, widest oceans on the planet, and its depths are not suitable for walking. The bottom of the ocean is filled with a variety of topographical features, such as trenches, ridges, and seamounts, which make it a difficult environment for walking. Additionally, the ocean is filled with a variety of natural hazards, such as hazardous currents, extreme temperatures, sharks, and other dangerous marine life. All of these factors make walking to the Hawaiian Islands not only difficult, but also impossible.
