RE: Embracing Collaboration With AI...

Bear in mind, there are still limitations of what it can and can't do - though also a vast spectrum of what opens up with the quality, specificity, and architecture of the prompts.

Some things, it's not totally an optimal fit for doing (yet); others, it may not do upon the first command - but can get alot closer as working with it as a collaborator to build the path there and architecture required. And sometimes, that architecture is not just the external technical stuff, but your inner architecture - the way you're looking at it, thinking about it, approaching it, and bridging your ideas and feelings into well-articulated expression that expands conversations & explorations.

I, too, went through the "underimpressed" at first. But some time later as realizing *the quality of replies is often proportional to the quality of input - that using it not just for data retrieval, but an exercise in self-development of thinking skills to refine the articulation of concepts & questions which would bring back increasingly more impressive responses... indescribable leaps into new territory. And it still my not be 100% amazing at everything all the time; but continuing to test it's limits & challenge it while also your own, you'll learn that what you think are its limits often reflect your own - and can be expanded in parallel. (Even if/when that entails expansion beyond the AI - i.e. discovering that to get what you my be after in regards to crypto prices requires different Crypto API tools, a custom-built system using spreadsheets or Obsidian with GPT plugins to organize & process all that data in specific intended ways, and maybe even some trading platforms with custom scripting capabilities -> ChatGPT not able to do everything all in one package, but help guide you through seeing the overall system architecture, how to setup each of the component, coding your indicators & bots, etc, etc. **But if you simply conclude its underwhelming and can't do what you hoped rather than persisting to asking better questions, you'd have never gotten to that point. 😉)

Most definitely, I've encountered ChatGPT slipping humor into its replies; and have heard Grok can be kinda sarcastic at times. But there's a BIG difference between a single prompt of "tell me a joke" and going through a process of building a foundation whether via custom GPT or in a single thread of first establishing some perimeters it can work from - i.e. "give me a thorough detailed breakdown of the key principles of standup humor; list the various common types of humor and jokes; etc -> preloading that into your context window for a starting basis, then asking it: "tell me a super funny joke about xyz..."

(And I pose this as a challenge for you to try, so you'll experience what a drastic difference it is for yourself.)

Some stuff, if you're just starting with an empty chat thread - remember, it's just a generalist with access to breadth of data, yet can only access so much in a single inquiry... but by specifying exactly what role it is to take, you narrow the window to refine the depth it goes to in a clearly-defined field... and it's a whole different fucking ballgame.

Another to try - go test something along the lines of: "imagine Kevin Hart and Ali Wong had a baby, raised it on George Carlin and Adam Sandler jokes for all its life - nurtured it's comedic potential until 18, when it went out for its first stand up show and told the most hilarious joke of all time about a guy who was skeptical about AI and thought ChatGPT couldn't tell jokes." And when it asks if you want more a couple times, oblige.

*lemme know if/how those experiments sway your outlook at all..." 😼
