That Thread Written by ChatGPT

I seriously recommend trying it... I haven't been able to put it down all evening... it's just absolutely incredible and feels just like talking to another person.

Not quite an answer to your question to Neo but maybe similar, you can ask it a question, say compose a poem, then say 'another one?' and it will generate a whole new response based on the same input.

Yeah, probably not. I'm old school, don't even cell phone.

Saying 'another', I'd assume that is a trigger for the AI to create a different poem.

Ah. Believe it or not, I can relate. I don't like change; ie I'm a late-adopter of things too... several years late switching from VHS to DVD, and then again several years late before I got my first smart phone, several modern things people take for granted I've never tried at all, like Twitter, and now it seems several months late on trying ChatGPT. And like all of those other things in the list above, I'm basically kicking myself for not trying it sooner

Anyway, in case you change your mind all it requires to signup is an email address and phone number capable of receiving text messages (to send you a code that you then enter), so even a basic cell phone would probably be fine if you meant you don't have a smart phone, but other than that it's just like signing up for any other webpage.

As to it's output I saw a video on YouTube of how it works internally. It's complicated so don't quote me on it (I can link the video if you want) but in general it's both a neural network and also uses a sort of reward-based feedback system for grading its outputs, with that feedback presumably coming from the natural feedback you give it while chatting with it (ie it's so realistic talking with it that you... well at least I... can't help but say 'thank you', or 'well done', or 'good job' etc), so my guess is that the alternative offerings it gives you if you prompt it for more, are just those different rated outputs... but that's just a guess.
