ChatGPT

They didn't ask for my phone number? I signed up through OpenAI though.

Same here, I signed up with OpenAI a while back (before ChatGPT). 
I wonder if that PLUS removes the one-page answer limitation, or provides some privacy protection? 
(Not counting on it, but it's worth asking!)

I had to do the same thing, ask it to show me multiple pages. I have no idea if the plus versions get rid of this limitation (or bug).

It's fun to play around with none-the-less. I asked it for a new invention idea. It told me that solar powered drones would be a good bet. I asked it for a name for my new brown kitten. It said Mocha. I asked it to respond more like a human, and it did!

Nutty stuff. I have lots of little code snippets it made for me too. Interesting times we live in.

What we should really be doing is asking it to cure diseases, improve everyone's mental health & fix social problems, figure out how to slow down aging, come up with ways to prevent war and famine, clean up pollution, and improve on the economic & government systems, so no one goes hungry, dies too soon, kills each other, robs each other, or sponges off the system too much. 

Of course it won't come up with perfect answers - what it comes up with would have to be vetted by real humans, but it may contain some valuable insights we might not have arrived at so soon. 

Perhaps if we put a few thousand instances on the job, and have a bunch of them double-checking and verifying each others' answers, the results will be better. 

Like giving a million monkeys a typewriter, where eventually one will produce "Hamlet", except these monkeys can read and verify that the other monkey's "Hamlet" is real Shakespeare. 

Can they weed out bad solutions using the scientific method and arrive at the top 3 for a given problem after so many cycles? 

The down side of all this, of course, is this stuff can also be used to come up with more efficient weapons and tactics to do not-so-nice things. We can be sure that all kinds of corporations, governments, militaries, investors, hackers, mad scientists, and everyone else are throwing whatever they have at it, to try and get a leg up. So there's that. 

It's like that old Chinese curse, "May you live in interesting times"! We sure are!! LoL
