Well, it's a really crappy BBS simulation.
It's utterly astounding (to me, at least) that it can sort of simulate a BBS from 1987. But the end result is still crap, that continuously offends the nostalgic senses.
> What is going to happen 36 years from now when someone loads up the latest release of 'AI' software and says 'pretend being ChatGPT from 2023 emulating a BBS from 1987'.
Presumably it will index that page and nail it.
- ghaff 4y agoI also assume that the training data for replicating a multi-line PCBoard BBS from 1987 is pretty thin, some files on textfiles notwithstanding.
- jcims 4y ago>Well, it's a really crappy BBS simulation. Yes, but it's not a BBS simulator. It's a general purpose tool being asked to imagine a world it has, relatively speaking, very little information about. I spent hundreds of hours in BBSs in the late 80s/early 90s and I completely forgot about the files sections, so I wouldn't have done any better.
