I asked 3 AIs what they had planned for the weekend

Claude told me – rather sniffily, I thought – “As an AI I don’t have weekends or personal plans.”

ChatGPT, ever the leg-humping sycophant, said: “Nothing on my end—but I can help you line something up if you’re in the mood.

Given the sort of work you’ve been doing, a quiet weekend might suit: a bit more editing, or a change of pace—walk, bookshop, that sort of thing. If you had something specific in mind (local to you or otherwise), I can suggest options without overcomplicating it.”

And Grok’s answer is above. Perfectly encapsulates the ‘personality’ of all three.

Have a good weekend!

Ask it how many ‘R’s there are in STRAWBERRY:

Have a nice weekend! 🙂

ChatGPT got it:

There are 3 “r”s in strawberry.

Breakdown:

strawberry → one “r” near the start, two together in “berry”

Total: 3

I’m planning to take my weekend cue from the vulture, and perch quietly and patiently wait for a DP pick to die.

Paging Gary Larson!

If you ever need to know which subject is the human in a Turing test, just ask both subjects, “What do you want from me?” You might need to ask some follow-up questions to make sure, but in general humans can say what they want and AIs can’t.

Got this bit in my SPAM folder and I think it might be meant for you and Uncle B.

“Dear Valued Recipient,

We are delighted to inform you that, as part of our ongoing commitment to supporting individuals affected by financial hardship and fraudulent activities worldwide, your delayed compensation funds totaling USD 917,610.00 USD have now been approved for release under the directive of MBG Investment Financial Stability…”

followed by handy instructions and a website link on how you can get your cash.

It has to be real, because here’s the closing info –

“Thank you for your patience and cooperation. We remain dedicated to supporting you.

Warm regards,

Mike Rostron
Financial Consultant & Private Client Director
MGP Investment Management Ltd.
Suite B, Castle Quay, Castlefield,
MANCHESTER, M15 4NJ, UK”

Since it’s from the UK I figured somehow my getting it is related to your website and they must have meant it for you.
Now, obviously it’s totally legit.

But, I’m a little short right now, and in order to give you the rest of the instructions I only ask that you give me a 10% finder’s fee from the windfall because this is totally, completely legit.
I’ll need your international banking RTNs and accounts and stuff so I can totally make sure you get the money and I’ll only need 10% of it.

And I totally swear I’m not a Nigerian Prince or anything even remotely like that, just a nice guy hoping to get a little reward in return for helping you cash in on oodles of totally legitimate free money.

If I don’t hear back from you, the puppy gets it.

Cheers!

@durned — Very, very nicely done!

Especially the reference to the world’s best magazine cover EVER.

(as if I cared)

(yeah. I'm going to write)

(oooo! you have a website?)


Beware: more than one link in a comment is apt to earn you a trip to the spam filter, where you will remain -- cold, frightened and alone -- until I remember to clean the trap. But, hey, without Akismet, we'd be up to our asses in...well, ass porn, mostly.
