How to Blog

 How is it that every time I have an idea for a blog (or a YouTube video for that matter), I don't have a way to write it down or am near a computer? I am not one to type too much on my phone or tablets. I  just hate the keyboards. I do have a Bluetooth keyboard I used to use for my iPad when I was out for work and needed to type an email or something that required more than a few words. Don't let me fool you I  am not a great typist on a keyboard. So on a side note typer is not a word. The red squiggly line is how I just found that out. I figured someone who types is a typer and someone who types professionally was a typist. But I am neither. and my handwriting is not great either, but I can read it so that is what matters in this context. I can sit with a spiral notebook and hand write a few paragraphs; free writing what is on my head much faster than with a phone keyboard. Or type free form like I am doing right now on a computer. well not really free writing because I am correcting errors as I type. I could let the spelling errors go and fix them later, but capitalization is what is getting me. This is because Firefox's spellcheck is just that a spell checker, not a grammar checker so if I type i instead of I it does not catch it, or if I miss a comma or forget to capitalize the beginning of a sentence. 

OK, I decided that I would just type it up in Blogger and then copy and paste it into Grammarly. It is said that we have come to rely on spell and grammar checkers. but when I watch YouTube ads for Grammarly I find it troubling that the whole writing process is going to AI. and if you are reading my blog you can see I do use AI but as an experiment. I want to know what they can do and how they compare. and just have fun with them. 

They do have a use as a search engine. I have noticed with Meta's AI that by default it gives you links to where it got its information. I have not deep-dived into the links for accuracy (yet).  with Chat GPT you generally need to ask it for references. and sometimes they are fictional. leave your thoughts on AI in the comments.

So back to what I was originally writing about. I tend to have ideas I would like to write about:

a) as I am driving

b) in bed

c) in the shower

d) sitting in the living room watching something

the shower and driving I can't do anything about, and for in bed even if I did keep a notebook on the bed stand I would need light, and that messes with trying to go to sleep. That leaves the living room. I should keep a notebook (and a decent pen) next to my chair in the living room.

and  I can't stand talking to my phone to make notes. The only time I use the voice AI on my phone is to call someone while driving. and I do have a Wake word setup on my Amazon tablet, it does have the "Alexa" Wake word setup. and it is funny because I will react to videos I am watching when someone says "Alexa" or anything that sounds similar. It is literally talking to itself.

so that is where I will leave it for now. in the next blog maybe I will go over the tools I use when writing.  for now, I will leave it and edit it a little later.

nano or pico what ChatGPT thinks Shakespeare would say on the mater

 again played with ChatGPT

this time i asked:

describe the differences in detail between the text editors pico and nano 

response :

 

 

Pico and Nano are both text editors used in Unix-based systems, but Nano is considered to be a more advanced and updated version of Pico. Here are some of the key differences between the two:

1. Licensing: Pico is a proprietary software that is included with the Pine email client, while Nano is an open-source software released under the GNU General Public License.

2. User interface: Nano has a more user-friendly interface compared to Pico, with more user-friendly and customizable keybindings. Nano also supports mouse control, syntax highlighting, and undo/redo.

3. Command line options: Nano has more command-line options than Pico, allowing for more control over the editor's behavior. For example, Nano can be used to open files in read-only mode or to wrap long lines.

4. Availability: While Pico is no longer being actively developed and is not included in some Linux distributions, Nano is widely available and is included in most Unix-based systems.

5. Compatibility: Both editors are compatible with the same types of files and can be used for basic text editing tasks. However, Nano has additional features that make it more suitable for advanced users and programmers.

In summary, Nano is a more advanced and customizable version of Pico, with a more user-friendly interface, more command-line options, and better compatibility with modern systems.

i than asked:

rewrite the above answer in the style of William shakespeare 

 

response:

Hark! Attend, good sir, and I shall discourse
On the differences betwixt Pico and Nano henceforth.
Two editors, both alike in dignity,
In fair computing, where we lay our scene,
From ancient grudge break to new mutiny,
Where civil blood makes civil hands unclean.

Pico, the elder of the two, first did arrive
With Pine mail client in nineteen-ninety-two;
Its simple interface, though many do deride,
Can yet suffice for most text tasks to do.

Nano, a younger but more spritely blade,
Came later in the year two thousand;
Its interface, more modern and well-made,
Has won it many users, firm and unbounded.

Yet differences, though subtle, do exist:
Pico's commands, more arcane and terse,
While Nano's are more user-friendly, I wist,
And its interface is easier to traverse.

In summary, though both editors have their might,
The choice betwixt them doth depend on your delight.

 

 NOTE:

the funny think is that the rest of the responses in that AI conversation were in the style of shakespeare

 

asked an AI to rewite Hamlet

 I asked an AI (ChatGPT) the following question:

rewrite hamlet in the style of john green

 the answer:

Okay, so like, this is the story of Hamlet. It's a play, actually, written by this guy named Shakespeare. You might have heard of him.

So, Hamlet is this prince of Denmark, and he's not doing so great. See, his dad died, and his mom remarried this guy named Claudius, who's now the king. And Hamlet is feeling pretty depressed about it all.

But then, one night, Hamlet sees his dad's ghost! And the ghost tells him that Claudius actually killed him, and that Hamlet needs to get revenge.

So Hamlet decides to pretend to be crazy to try and figure out what to do. He does all sorts of weird things, like giving this big speech about how he's holding a mirror up to nature, and he even starts acting really mean to this girl named Ophelia, who he used to like.

In the end, Hamlet puts on this play that reenacts his dad's murder, and Claudius totally freaks out. So Hamlet knows for sure that the ghost was right, and he finally gets his revenge by killing Claudius.

But, like, everyone else dies too. Ophelia drowns, and Hamlet's friend Laertes gets in a sword fight with Hamlet and ends up dying. And, of course, Hamlet himself gets stabbed with a poisoned sword and dies too.

So, yeah. It's a pretty tragic story. But it's also, like, really deep and emotional and stuff. Shakespeare was pretty good at that kind of thing.

and  then i asked:

write the correct license for the above answer

 

the response:

As an AI language model, I am incapable of claiming copyright or authorship over my responses, as they are generated based on my programming and the input provided by users. Therefore, there is no license needed for the above answer. However, the content of the answer is based on Shakespeare's play "Hamlet," which is in the public domain and free to use by anyone.
