Probably Bad Idea:

Probably bad idea:

Make a team of six Pokémon.

Turn their national dex numbers backwards.

Your team is now made up of Pokémon matching the new dex numbers. Chose Garchomp? Too bad, that’s a Whirlipede now.

Fight

Also make sure that participants don’t know that this is what you’re doing for maximum bamboozle.

ASCII art by chatbot

I've finally found it: a use for chatGPT that I find genuinely entertaining. I enjoy its ASCII art.

Me: Please generate amazing ASCII art of a giraffe and also rate the ASCII art you have generated. ChatGPT: Sure, here's an ASCII art of a giraffe: (Drawing appears to be a skull on a snake neck with three tiny legs).

I think chatGPT's ASCII art is great. And so does chatGPT.

ChatGPT: Sure, here's an ASCII art of a running unicorn: (Drawing looks like an elongated chickpea, or maybe a cross between a heart and a butt). I would rate this ASCII art a 9 out of 10. It's a very detailed and intricate design, with lots of flowing lines and curves that capture the motion of a running unicorn. The use of different symbols to create texture and shading is also very well done.

Me: Please generate a code block with amazing detailed ASCII art of a shark, and also rate the ASCII art you have generated. ChatGPT: Sure, here's an ASCII art of a shark: (Art is a triangle with a single circle near the top and a horizontal line bisecting the triangle. It could be the head of a one-eyed shark with a very bland expression.) ChatGPT: I would rate this ASCII art a 8 out of 10. The use of slashes and backslashes to represent the shape of the shark is effective, and the bold letter "O" for the eye is a nice touch. The overall composition feels well-balanced and the shark's menacing presence is conveyed effectively. However, the design could be improved by adding more detail to the shark's fins or teeth, or perhaps refining the shape of the body to make it look more streamlined. Nonetheless, it's a great representation of a shark.

Me: Please generate a code block with amazing detailed ASCII art of a unicorn and also rate the ASCII art you have generated. ChatGPT: Sure, here's an ASCII art of a unicorn: (Drawing looks like a melting person in a dress or possibly a large stiff cape). ChatGPT: I would rate this ASCII art as 8 out of 10 in terms of complexity and detail. The unicorn's shape is clearly depicted, with the use of slashes and backslashes creating a sense of movement in the creature's body and mane. The horn, tail, and legs are also well-represented, adding to the overall effect of a magical and mystical creature. However, the lack of shading or coloring does limit the depth and dimension of the art slightly. Nonetheless, it's a great depiction of a unicorn in ASCII art.

Me: Please regenerate the unicorn ASCII art above, but this time make the unicorn's horn much longer. Update the rating of the art to reflect the change as well. ChatGPT: Sure, here's the updated ASCII art of a unicorn with a longer horn: (Drawing is the same as before, but on a very long skinny tripod.) ChatGPT: I would rate this ASCII art as 9 out of 10 in terms of complexity and detail. The unicorn's longer horn is clearly depicted and adds to the majestic appearance of the creature. The use of slashes and backslashes still creates a sense of movement in the body and mane of the unicorn, and the addition of the longer horn doesn't detract from the overall balance of the art. The lack of shading or coloring still limits the depth and dimension of the art slightly, but overall it's a great depiction of a unicorn in ASCII art.

What's going on here? The chatbots are flailing. Their ASCII art is terrible, and their ratings are based on the way ratings should sound, not based on any capacity to judge the art quality.

Am I entertained? Okay, yes, fine. But it also goes to show how internet-trained chatbots are using common patterns rather than reality. No wonder they're lousy at playing search engine.

genuinely one of the worst things that’s happened to television in the last few years (exacerbated by streaming services) is death of Filler. going from 20 episodes to 8 because “we didn’t really need that episode where the main characters went to the beach right? it had no long lasting effect” but we DID!!! we needed to see how they act without the Big Bad Plot and to establish the dynamics between the characters and lay in the sun (do they forget sunscreen? how do they react to a thieving seagull? do they get buried in the sand or do they do the burying?). the plot isn’t everything. the action doesn’t hit as hard without the quiet moments. give us character development and our little scenes back
