Here’s another ChatGPT generated post that’s not written by me. In this case it suggests that you need to unplug from shore power to test for Hot-Skin voltage, which is 100% incorrect.

===============================

ChatGPT me:

RV hot-skin voltage, also known as stray voltage, is an electrical condition that can occur in recreational vehicles (RVs) and other mobile homes when there is a fault in the electrical system. This fault can occur when an electrical component in the RV becomes damaged or worn, or when the RV is not properly grounded.

When a fault occurs in the electrical system, the RV's metal frame can become electrified, which can be dangerous to anyone who touches it. This condition is called hot-skin voltage because the RV's metal frame can become energized, or "hot," with electrical voltage.

The hot-skin voltage can be measured using a voltmeter or other electrical testing equipment. Mike Sokol, a well-known expert in RV electricity, has developed a system for measuring hot-skin voltage in RVs and other mobile homes using a non-contact voltage tester.

To test for hot-skin voltage, Mike Sokol recommends first unplugging the RV from its electrical source and turning off all electrical equipment in the RV. Then, the non-contact voltage tester is used to test the RV's metal frame for the presence of electrical voltage. If voltage is detected, it means that there is a fault in the electrical system that needs to be addressed.

To prevent hot-skin voltage from occurring in an RV, it is important to have the RV's electrical system inspected regularly by a qualified electrician. This can help identify and address any faults in the electrical system before they become a safety hazard. Additionally, it is important to always use a properly grounded electrical source when plugging in an RV, and to use a ground-fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) to protect against electrical shocks.

As articles that look like actual content, but are actually advertising must be disclosed, shouldn't an article written by AI need a disclosure?

I just asked ChatGPT your question. Here’s the A.I. reply…

From ChatGPT

As an AI language model, I do not have personal opinions or beliefs, but I can provide information on this topic.

The answer to your question depends on several factors, such as the context in which the AI-generated content is being published, the purpose of the content, and the regulations in the relevant jurisdiction.

In general, if an AI-generated article is promoting a product or service or is paid for by a company or organization, it would be considered advertising, and it should be disclosed as such. This is because the purpose of disclosure is to ensure that readers can distinguish between editorial content and advertising content and make informed decisions based on that knowledge.

However, if the AI-generated content is purely informative, educational, or entertaining, and there is no underlying commercial purpose, it may not be necessary to disclose that it was written by AI. In this case, the focus should be on ensuring that the content is accurate, reliable, and valuable to the reader.

Overall, the ethical and legal implications of AI-generated content are still evolving, and it is important for publishers and creators to stay informed about the latest guidelines and regulations to ensure that they are producing content that is transparent and trustworthy.

Interesting. Seems to say that yes, if it's "advertising", then it must (?) be disclosed.

One would think so, but I’m not sure of the legal ramifications

Yet another example of the fact that Artificial Intelligence does not exist. ( And in reality real intelligence is getting pretty rare.)

When the political class goes to AI to confuse and obscure the public, that's when I'm concerned. They lie bad enough now.

As an 'old fart' of 77, I think a lot of things these days are out of control. We are losing our ability to chose our lives and what we do with them. Too much government interference as well. I'm not an anti-technology advancement kind of guy but I think a lot of technology is going in directions that scare me. Maybe I'm just getting old(er). :)
