Is there an online tool/piece of code that can find words like this in a string?

I'm sure everyone is kinda tired of this answer, but gpt4. At least I have the share thing now so those who want to avoid it don't have to see a big pasted output. https://chat.openai.com/share/25124525-0bad-4c13-ae5a-ae4beac60360 https://chat.openai.com/share/25124525-0bad-4c13-ae5a-ae4bea... 3.5 doesn't really get it, 4 does. There are some that aren't great but the context is pretty small and it can be a decent launching point.

  I took your prompt and tried to get it to generate a bit less serious-sounding backronyms. GPT-4 is good at this. Me, not so much. https://cloud.typingmind.com/share/b49794e0-4b2b-4213-ae2e-8f63a39acacd https://cloud.typingmind.com/share/b49794e0-4b2b-4213-ae2e-8... I'll grant one thing: the paper must go well with cheese.

    That was a beautiful misunderstanding, right out of 1960s scifi.

    This made me laugh out loud on the toilet. The cheese ones are great, I really like FETA

    Fantastic. I tried a few dafter ones based on this https://chat.openai.com/share/d9a31442-96e5-4a18-92d9-d217c7304803 https://chat.openai.com/share/d9a31442-96e5-4a18-92d9-d217c7...

  People are justifiably excited about these language tools, but we're getting tired of this answer because it's not a good answer: "Use GPT-4! Some of the answers aren't that great, but it's at least a starting point." That's like if you asked how to sort a list and remove duplicates, and the answer was to import it into a spreadsheet program and follow these steps instead of just "sort | uniq". It's suggesting a general-purpose tool to do a specific job maybe kinda acceptably instead of suggesting the right tool for the job. It reminds me of the microwave cookery books that came out after consumer microwaves became available: there are things a microwave is good at, but those books used it for everything, just like we're using GPT-4 today. We'll calm down eventually.

      Not all language tasks, even, are going to be best handled by these models.

        But if there isn’t a better one then this isn’t the microwave analogy you think it is

That's exactly how many Windows office users do it, they paste a list into Excel and use it to remove duplicates. There are alternatives even on Windows, but It's must easier for them to use a single general-purpose graphical tool (and let's not get started with the abominations VLOOKUP is used for). I used to look down on that but then I realized that using a graphical program for list manipulation is kinda cool and that this program is rather capable, and could create combinations that are rather difficult to do with the more specialized tools. I still use these specialized tools (I'm used to them, and I can do some stuff they can't easily do in Excel).
