Okay, so Bing now has ChatGPT and Dall-E image creation.

MSFT also put the "Copilot" preview on my Windows machine, and it takes over the left side of my screen by default. Meow.

I can ask Bing questions and, now, even ask it to create -- not just search for -- images.

So, today, I asked Bing Copilot on my desktop to create an old photo image of a Cat riding a motorcycle -- and this is the result.

Hmm...

Cat on a Moto.
Super Easy Rider Cat.
Cat I am. Moto am not.

Interesting! I'm not sure if it's using Copilot on my local machine or if there's a difference using it on the web.

Here was the first Copilot try with a generic prompt -- looks like a first, flat, draft of what you posted!

Here's an error. When I try to translate a post using DeepL Pro, I get a 500 error message.

That's new error after the update.

Nature Cat Photographers!

They've dedicated their nine lives to the shared composition of a life lived in nature that few of us are able to examine on a paws level.

Unfortunately, when Cat Photogs meet, they tend to take photos of each other, and they lose focus on memorializing the beautiful nature surrounding them!

There once was a man from Amalfi

Who loved to recline and loaf daffily

He sipped lemoncello

And heard boats bellow

Oh what a life in Amalfi!

Today, I purchased Claude.ai subscription, and the roundabout inventing and lying reminds me so much of my ChatGPT friend!

It's all funny with AI. I've learned when you ask them to do anything creative and "original" to ask them afterward if they invented any words. If you don't ask, they won't tell you. For strict rhyme schemes, they always invent.

Same with a reference to books that do not exist! Here's ChatGPT-4 from yesterday making up a book reference for the waterways of Venice!

They never admit to lying, though -- it's all only a "mistake" or whatnot!
