Here’s how AI-Bot Yoda would say it…

"Hazards of electricity, be mindful we must, hmmm. A potent force it is, dangerous and deceiving it can be, yes. Like a double-edged lightsaber, bright and powerful, yet shadows of peril it casts. Unseen currents, they flow, like the Force, strong and unseen. The unwary, complacent they become, and shocked they might be. Respect this energy we should, for consequences grave can follow a moment's lapse. Wisdom and caution, we must wield, to embrace the power without harm. Patience and knowledge, our allies they are, to avoid the treacherous path. Hazards of electricity, always remember, hmmm, to tread with care, we must."

ChatGPT needs to close with "Let’s play safe out there", and it is overly wordy.

I asked ChatGPT to walk me through accessing the PCV valve on my 1997 Ford Explorer. It did a great job, but I still couldn’t get my hand on it. When I told it that it suggested finding someone with smaller hands. Jeez…I knew that!

“My gut feel is that I’m always looking forward for new ideas and content, while ChatGPT is a very clever remix of past things I’ve written. But that could change before long….”

WHAT? You gonna start writing about past things?

I’ve been writing for the RV industry for 12 years, and 35 years for the pro-sound industry. I have a lot of past articles…😁

Cool but can’t replace you!

The key phrase here is "a very clever remix of past things". ChatGPT can't offer new insights on new and emerging issues!!! This is where the human comes in. Reading that paragraph sounded so bland and safe like so many RV blogs for profit today. Tell me something new with a little personality, sarcasm, and humor.

I am not looking forward to technology that can be manipulated.

I hoped to see AI-Mike’s recommendation to get a multimeter and learn how to use it.

It looks like a typical chatbot article to me. It starts out with the same first couple sentences that say nothing. The big problem I see with this AI software is that it is polluting the internet with tons of garbage and making it very hard to find quality field checked information on a subject. It is, in fact, Dumbing Down the Internet. IMHO "There is no "I" in AI"

Yeah, most of what I see is AI generated click bait… What a waste of time!

Mike I agree it may be a wast of time for some, but there is going to be a lot of people seeking information who don't have a clue who is who & are going to take it as the truth in a lot of different matters.
