That might have be more helpful if it was clear that there is actually anything like thinking going on in GPT-4, but to the extent there is I don't believe it's a good analogy for EU-the-organization. It's multiple regular hu

What datasets do people use for applications like these? Seems like you'd want huge amounts of photos of people (abundant publicly, though not necessarily free for use) with huge amounts of tagging for assorted clothes, body styles,

Not that I know the details of medieval vampire lore, but doesn't it sort of follow that if the deceased has crossed to far side of Styx they'd be much less eligible for walking/flying/crawling/whatever around as on
