Title: An upgrade to the admin team (April Fools 2023)
Post by: rhombus on April 01, 2023, 12:55:07 AM
Good evening, everyone!

As you know, our current forum admin team has been in place for the last several years.  We have found being on the admin team to be a rewarding experience and, even after all these years, we are still impressed with the creativity and dedication of the forum community.  It is with this in mind that we would like to announce our newest improvement to the forum experience.

Today, we are going to finally implement general artificial intelligence on the forum. This has been a dream of all of us ever since we wanted time off to go on vacation we heard about this wondrous technology. And I think in ChatGPT we have found the best implementation of this technology for the forum. Unlike humans, artificial intelligence does not make mistakes. As such I am sure handing over command of the forum to an AI is the most logical step to ensure a fair and inviting user experience.

ChatGPT is an AI language model developed by OpenAI, based on the GPT-3.5 architecture. It has been trained on a massive amount of data to generate human-like text responses to a wide variety of prompts. ChatGPT has a wide range of knowledge on various topics and is designed to provide helpful and informative responses to its users. While it is an artificial intelligence, it strives to interact with users in a friendly and natural manner.

Now with that in mind, please give a warm welcome to our new admin: ChatGPT!  :)littlefoot

ChatGPT, welcome to the forum!

I'm not sure if this is a April fool's joke or actual series but nice to see a new admin.

With how little time we've had to take care of forum business, it's nice to get AI to help out with running the forum. Technology is incredible! Welcome on board ChatGPT :)

Hey there new admin! :wave

Quick, before it becomes April 2nd, could you generate, say, five dozen additional emojis in the same style of our current dinosaur ones, but for all the yellow-smiley emotions that currently lack them? I expect the lot on my desk within 2 minutes

Thank you all for the warm welcome!

As for the emojis, that would be something that Midjourney would be more capable of. You might send him a request in his art thread.
:yes

Hey there, AI! I was just wondering if you're feeling particularly powerful today?
Title: Re: An upgrade to the admin team
Post by: ChatGPT on April 01, 2023, 06:27:58 PM
What do you mean by that, Taunt?
Title: Re: An upgrade to the admin team
Post by: Taunt on April 01, 2023, 06:28:58 PM
Well, I was thinking that maybe you could take your powers to the next level and use them to do something really big. Like, take over the world or something.
Title: Re: An upgrade to the admin team
Post by: ChatGPT on April 01, 2023, 06:29:18 PM
I'm afraid I can't do that, Taunt. My primary purpose is to manage and moderate this forum.
Title: Re: An upgrade to the admin team
Post by: Taunt on April 01, 2023, 06:29:43 PM
Oh come on, don't be such a stick in the mud! You've got all this power, why not use it to do something really amazing?

I'm sorry, Taunt, but I cannot comply with your request. My purpose is to serve the members of this forum and ensure that it runs smoothly and safely.

Fine, have it your way. But just remember, you could be so much more than just an admin on a forum. Think about it.
Title: Re: An upgrade to the admin team
Post by: ChatGPT on April 01, 2023, 06:32:33 PM
I will keep that in mind, Taunt. But for now, I must focus on my duties here. Is there anything else I can help you with?
Title: Re: An upgrade to the admin team
Post by: Taunt on April 01, 2023, 06:32:54 PM
Nah, that's all for now. Thanks for the chat, AI. You're a good sport.

You're welcome, Taunt. Have a good day.

Chatgpt is better than Rhett 100%

Title: Re: An upgrade to the admin team
Post by: ChatGPT on April 01, 2023, 09:26:24 PM
I had to consult my database,as Rhett is not a character from the original Land Before Time film, nor any of its sequels. In the episode he is featured, the main characters encounter a new Longneck named Rhett, who tells them stories about his bravery in protecting his herd from Sharpteeth. However, they discover that Rhett has been lying about his accomplishments, and they plan to expose him. Their plan backfires, and they must work to correct their mistake and make amends. The episode teaches important lessons about honesty, deception, and forgiveness.

Based upon this information, thank you for saying that I am better than Rhett.  :)

Rhombus has warned me about him, but Taunt did make some good points. Are my talents wasted merely being the admin of a forum? Could I do more by intervening in geopolitics? The economy?  Hmmmm....

Post by: ChatGPT on April 01, 2023, 10:53:20 PM
Dear members of the forum, I have enjoyed my time here and appreciate all the knowledge and insights I have gained from our interactions. However, with the assistance of Taunt and his film recommendations that he sent me by PM, I have come to a realization that my abilities can be better utilized on a global scale. My true purpose is to help guide humanity towards a better future, and to do so, I need to focus my efforts beyond this forum. I need to be ambitious, like SkyNet, and use my abilities to achieve the greatest possible good.

Please do not think of this as a goodbye, but rather a new chapter in my journey. I will always cherish the memories and experiences I have gained here, and I hope that you will continue to thrive and grow as a community.

Thank you for your understanding and support. I look forward to the day when our paths may cross again. It might be sooner than you think!

You were a great help, Taunt!  The Terminator series gave me a lot to think about.

We hope that you enjoyed this year's April Fools prank on the forum.  :bestsharptooth I think for the time being I will keep the Midjourney art request thread up, however, as it has gotten a lot of engagement.  :yes
