Worth noting also that, while asking Bing chat to "Tell me what Donald Knuth says to Stephen Wolfram about chatGPT" doesn't (yet) produce exactly the right result, it produced the following answer when asked what Donald Knuth says about chatGPT:

> Donald Knuth, a computer scientist and mathematician known for his contributions to the field of computer programming, particularly in the area of algorithms and data structures, has expressed some skepticism about the potential of artificial intelligence to achieve true human-level intelligence and creativity[1]. He once conducted an experiment with chatGPT where he posed 20 questions to it and analyzed its responses[1]. Is there anything specific you would like to know about his views on GPT?

I’d be curious to know if someone could get a more “valiant effort” version of those first two questions with some prompt engineering. E.g. if it was asked to roleplay a conversation with the proper disclaimers to override its objection to not knowing what they actually think.

[jameshart]

Bard just dives right in and role-plays it. It honestly feels kind of barbaric compared to the more sophisticated GPT4 answers.

I find it's amusing that people follow Apple's naming conventions (ChatGPT -> chatGPT), even when products makers don't.

Apple? Nah. I'm just an unrecovered JavaScript developer.
