Having heard that this AI thing is getting pretty clever at composing answers to requests for information, I posed these questions and got these responses:

Why are Laverda motocycles so popular?
Laverda motorcycles gained popularity for their unique design, high-performance engine, and durability. The Italian manufacturer produced high-end sports bikes that were known for their distinctive styling and exceptional handling. Additionally, Laverda had a reputation for producing high-quality bikes that could withstand the rigors of racing, which helped to establish its brand as a leader in the motorcycle industry. The combination of design, performance, and durability made Laverda motorcycles highly sought after by riders and collectors alike.

What is the history of the Laverda motorcycle company in USA?
Laverda motorcycles were first imported to the United States in the late 1960s. The company established a subsidiary, Laverda North America, in the 1970s to manage its operations in the region. During this time, Laverda gained popularity among sport bike enthusiasts for its high-performance bikes and distinctive Italian styling.

In the 1980s, the company faced financial difficulties and ceased its operations in the US. However, Laverda motorcycles continued to be popular among vintage bike collectors, and several independent companies started importing and servicing the bikes.

In the 1990s, Laverda was acquired by Piaggio, which continued to produce a limited number of Laverda bikes for the European market. Despite the limited production, the brand remained highly regarded among motorcycling enthusiasts, and its bikes continued to fetch high prices on the vintage market.

Today, Laverda motorcycles remain popular among collectors and riders who appreciate their unique style, performance, and heritage.

Who is the typical Laverda enthusiast?
The typical Laverda enthusiast is someone who appreciates high-performance motorcycles, unique styling, and a rich heritage. These enthusiasts are often sport bike riders who value the handling, power, and speed of their bikes. They may also be vintage motorcycle collectors who appreciate the history and craftsmanship of older bikes, including Laverda motorcycles.

Laverda enthusiasts are a passionate and dedicated community who enjoy the thrill of riding and the camaraderie of like-minded individuals. They may participate in vintage motorcycle shows, attend Laverda-specific events, or join online forums to connect with other enthusiasts and share their passion for these bikes.

In general, Laverda enthusiasts are drawn to the brand's commitment to producing high-quality motorcycles that are both functional and aesthetically pleasing. They appreciate the Italian heritage and the attention to detail that goes into each bike, and they value the performance and reliability that makes Laverda motorcycles such a pleasure to ride.

Is this where some of the press hacks get their story skeletons from?
No, this information is not necessarily the source of story skeletons for journalists or press hacks. The information provided here is general knowledge about Laverda motorcycles and is intended to answer questions and provide information to those who are interested in the topic.

Journalists and press hacks may use a variety of sources to gather information for their stories, including interviews, press releases, and primary and secondary research. They may also use online resources such as forums, blogs, and websites to gather information and ideas for their articles. However, this information should not be relied upon as the sole source of information for journalists or press hacks, as it is always important to fact-check and verify information before publishing a story.
 
Ah,yes the AI created invention and dissemination of generic non-precise sentences with no
validity. I know the academic community is worried now about discerning what is actually
written by the undergrads and what is generically created by the kid's laptop/printer. I guess
at this time you could pose questions involving jargon or nicknames and watch the result with
an eye on what gibberish is spit out. Maybe....Jota (Slater) versus Jota America ...hell try Cropredy
Liberator for laughs.
 
Funnily enough it appears the best use of this technology may well be in ever increasing bureaucracy requirements in certain industries.
I was just this morning discussing the onerous requirements of writing management plans and terms of references for new committees / procedures to appease auditors in certain circumstances. The fellow I was talking to operates a business in a highly regulated industry and mentioned that one of his colleagues used the ChatGPT AI to write a plan which was spat out and used without amendment and passed an audit with flying colours.
Unfortunately Governments (in Australia at least) are hell bent on increasing their "governance" requirements and this may well prove a simple way of reducing the time consuming "development of policy" phase producing pages and pages of waffle which will almost certainly never be read. Auditors are happy to evidence that the work is complete, not that it makes sense...............................
Interesting, certainly has me thinking of uses.......................
 
Risk Assessments come to mind. I was getting to the stage where planes crashing into the site were on the list. To press a button and relieve me of this would be a joy, retirement came thankfully. So one Government bunch design required reporting and your AI replies automatically, and more Forests get turned to paper.
 
This tech grabs stuff from absolutely everywhere on the net, which contains just about everything.
It is being used for cheating in exams and projects at university level where people are supposed to do their own research, and now the makers are saying they will introduce algorithms that can show that it has been used so that regulators can detect it.
Yeah, a crock of shit, Jim? Like minded people who just love these bikes and their history etc, meet on forums and go on group rides, events and meet-ups celebrating the marque? The "facts" are pretty out there though.
Of course it could put in any brand of bike, and that is exactly what this AI does, we humans are very predictable.
 
At least one school in the UK has decided to stop setting homework, considering it pointless given ChatGPT.

I have no idea what that means for the future. I shall go and ask ChatGPT ....
 
I have tried ChatGPT, too, but found it maybe sound right, but not often to be fully right. At the end, the result can't be better than what shit is posted somewhere on the net... So - if there is a lot of bullshit posted, the result will contain a lot of that. The examples above just show it...

I f.e. have asked it who the best cyber security reseller partners would be in Switzerland. it listed 5 names with descriptions, 4 of them were crap and not fitting what I was looking for, the 5th was a known company. Useless...

It might be nice for writing up articles but you need to check EACH AND EVERY information provided, as it could be just bullshit.

Exactly, some press hack needing a few paragraphs to fulfill the editor's request and knowing nothing about the topic, can quickly generate something that sounds feasible, passes the initial sniff test, and gets published so that it then becomes the new truth till there's a way to discredit it as widely as it's been distributed.
 
AI is particularly suited to cheating in academia.
Universities do not teach students how to do things, instead they focus on getting students to write vague essays about the subject matter.
Given that most lecturers have never had real jobs (and hence do not know the subject matter from a practice viewpoint), they have no frame of reference for evaluating the quality of these vague AI generated essays.
 
If one is lecturing on Renaissance Art History or String Theory, where do you get a job that allows one to know the subject from a practical viewpoint? The same with medical research and many other fields, universities are places of research just as much as teaching. Besides, most grading and reviewing of student work is done by overworked and underpaid assistants most of whom are working second jobs to make ends meet. I think they would take an exception to the idea that they are unfamiliar with “real work”.
 
Hi Lothar

Re your cyber security question....

I've been playing with chatGPT too and found it's quit hard to get your head around the AI thing and how it should be used.

For a direct question, then the search engines are still the way to go.

An illustration....
‹ Why do dogs pee on lamposts = google/bing/etc.
However....
‹ Write me a funny 12 line poem about a dog peeing on a lampost = the AI world.

The commercial department has given way to AI.
High prices have never reflected anything other than desirability which has to do with the work of commercial depts, magazines and now AI.
The vintage market is a lot bigger than the UK which is however a good place to extract money from.

yes, it might be a question of how to use this technology... it works though on some parts like creating even small programs in various programming languages, but for real researches, it is not the right source I would say. As I said - it might sound good, but there is a great chance it has a lot of faulty information in it...

I guess I didn't get my point over well in my original post. I wanted to show that if you just wanted some generalized boiler-plate produced that had some facts that might fool the less-knowledgeable, this was starting to look useful but I think the response as posted below looking for more specifics shows its limitations more clearly and, as with most of the stuff we find "free" on the internet, you must fact check everything with a known authoritative source.

"Please write me an article about the Laverda motorcycles built in Zane."

Laverda motorcycles built in Zane were a range of high-performance, Italian-made motorcycles that were produced in the small town of Breganze, in the province of Vicenza, Italy. The company was founded by Pietro Laverda in the late 1800s and was known for producing some of the most innovative and well-regarded motorcycles of the 20th century.
During the 1960s and 1970s, Laverda motorcycles were some of the most popular and sought-after motorcycles in Europe. They were known for their high-performance engines, stylish design, and excellent handling, and were favored by riders who wanted a motorcycle that could perform as well as it looked.
In the 1980s, Laverda was acquired by the Piaggio Group and production was moved from the original Laverda factory in Milan to the smaller town of Breganze. Despite the change of location, Laverda motorcycles continued to be produced to the same high standards and were highly regarded by riders around the world.
One of the most popular models produced by Laverda in Zane was the Jota. The Jota was a sport motorcycle that was powered by a 900cc engine that produced 110 horsepower and was capable of reaching speeds of up to 160 km/h. The Jota was known for its agile handling, sharp design, and high-performance engine, and was a popular choice among sport riders.
Another popular model produced by Laverda in Zane was the RGS 1000. The RGS 1000 was a touring motorcycle that was designed for long-distance rides. It was powered by a 981cc engine that produced 105 horsepower and was capable of reaching speeds of up to 190 km/h. The RGS 1000 was known for its comfortable riding position, smooth power delivery, and reliable performance, making it a popular choice among touring riders.
In addition to these models, Laverda also produced a range of smaller-displacement motorcycles in Zane, including the 650 and 750cc models. These motorcycles were popular among riders who wanted a more manageable motorcycle that was still capable of delivering high performance.
Today, Laverda motorcycles built in Zane are highly prized by collectors and enthusiasts around the world. Their combination of performance, style, and reliability make them an excellent choice for riders who want a motorcycle that can perform as well as it looks. If you're looking for a high-performance motorcycle with a rich history, a Laverda motorcycle built in Zane is an excellent choice.
