This is what it came up with:

Verse 1:
I got my airgun in hand, it's time to shoot
With the power of air, I'll take aim and execute
A weapon of precision, with pellets in flight
No need for powder, my aim is right

Chorus:
Airguns, airguns, don't underestimate
The power they hold, they're truly great
With pellets flying and targets falling
Airguns are the king of shooting, we're calling

Verse 2:
From backyard plinking to competitive shooting
Airguns are perfect, their power unassuming
Quiet and efficient, they're the perfect choice
For those who want to shoot, without the noise

Chorus:
Airguns, airguns, don't underestimate
The power they hold, they're truly great
With pellets flying and targets falling
Airguns are the king of shooting, we're calling

Verse 3:
From PCP to spring piston
Airguns are our chosen weapon
With scopes and sights, we take our aim
And with each shot, we win the game

Chorus:
Airguns, airguns, don't underestimate
The power they hold, they're truly great
With pellets flying and targets falling
Airguns are the king of shooting, we're calling

Outro:
So next time you're thinking of shooting
Don't overlook the airgun, it's truly stunning
With accuracy and power, it's a force to be reckoned
Airguns are the future, and we're the king of shooting.

I work in academia, so this AI is a concern and has raised many questions since "we" became aware of it being used by students for submitting work to be graded. I got some very detailed answers to some assignments that I have not seen before, so I was curious if they had been generated by AI. At the start of this year I was running some evaluation questions through ChatGPT - it gave relatively complex and complete answers so generally it does well. BUT, I asked it a question about hardenability of AISI4340 steel specifically to compare the hardenability of 4340 to 1045. It gave a convoluted answer that was utter nonsense. So, AI can get it wrong and to the uninformed it may seem like a good factual answer. It is also a learning technology. so as we the LI or RI (Live or Real) correct its mistakes it will become more accurate.

I wrote a rap some three decades ago, so I also asked ChatGPT to write one on the same theme. It did so and I thought it was so-so but as good as some of the (c)rap you hear on the radio. I ran my rap and the AI rap through GPTZero, a website that helps detect AI generated text. My rap got a score of >500 with a high probability of being written by human, whereas the AI rap got <40, and it was identified as high probability of being computer generated. The thing is that AI rap seemed about as lame as the airgun song above, so I was pretty sure that GPTZero would identify the airgun song as AI generated. Surprise, the airgun song got >500 and a high probability of being human generated. It could be that AI just needed 6 more week practice to learn how to write songs. Scary stuff.

As technology advances we should start teaching students to better use it and realize their limitations. Just like calculator, computer and search engine, etc, they became part of everyday life and generative AI will be the same.

I grew up in a rural environment and AI used to mean something VERY different... would make for a surprising meeting if the Artificial Insemination man gave an AI demo to a modern audience...

Otherwise, when using AI to refer to Artificial Intelligence, this is very much a part of what I do in my day to day job.

There are some really cool technologies that we are using to automate processes - unfortunately (or fortunately if you are interested in cost reduction and are not one of the people directly impacted) they frequently reduce the requirement for what have traditionally been "entry level" white collar roles in many organizations - processing claims, onboarding new clients, processing accounts payable, etc. The same technologies also introduce some really interesting capabilities that humans could not do. For example, we were able to leverage "computer vision" and image matching to help an insurance company to reduce fraud. I was surprised to learn that fraudsters frequently submit multiple claims for auto insurance and submit the same photographs of car damage to support multiple claims. The same bashed-in fender on a Toyota Camry gets submitted by several different policy holders... different human adjusters would just pay what looks like a legitimate claim, but the AI system examines all the images and notices the same pictures were submitted for multiple claims in multiple different provinces and flags it to a human for investigation.

Like most significant technology advancements there are pros and cons and some cheer on the exciting new capabilities and some dread the changes.

I spend most days somewhere between those 2 extremes.

I am with you, Rob. Depending on how new technology is used, it can be a blessing or a curse. I think it will end up being both and we will see which side becomes the dominant one. In spite of what many say, good does not always triumph over evil.
