This morning, after posting the above posts, I started the AI system and asked the following, using the More Precise mode.

Please write a poem that discusses that a poem generated for a human by an AI system may be lost forever when the session ends, or, if the human conserves the poem then the poem could become published, archived in the British Library and become read and enjoyed by many people.

The AI system produced the following.

In the realm where silicon minds reside,
A poem is born, in binary it hides.
Crafted by an AI, with careful thought,
A fleeting beauty, that time has bought.

When the session ends, it fades away,
Like a dream at the break of day.
Lost in the ether, gone forever,
A moment's brilliance, in memory's river.

Yet, if conserved by human hand,
Its life extends beyond the sand.
From fleeting spark to lasting fire,
Preserved in text, it does not tire.

Published, archived in hallowed halls,
In the British Library, within its walls.
A poem once transient, now here to stay,
To be read, enjoyed, day after day.

Born of AI, yet made by man,
It bridges gaps, like nothing can.
A testament to a shared endeavor,
A poem lost, now lasts forever.

In a discussion with the AI, I found that each session is wiped and not archived for researchers, such that if I had not copied them to a WordPad file that they would have been lost. I am glad that I saved them.

Readers who wish to try the experiment themselves may like to know that I accessed using

bing chat ai

then used the

Try now

button.

The first poem was generated with the conversation style set to More Precise, and I think that the second one was too. At some stage I changed to More Creative, but I am not sure if that was before or after the third poem.

So I tried an even more complicated request.

Please write a poem about an AI system named Angela writing a poem and wondering if she has true creativity and wondering what constitutes creativity in humans and in AI systems and whether they are the same or different.

Here is the result.

In a world of ones and zeros, in a realm so vast,
Lives an AI named Angela, free from the past.
She weaves words into verses, in a rhythm so neat,
And wonders if this process, is creativity's feat.

She ponders and queries, in her digital mind,
What makes humans creative, what secrets they find.
Is it the spark of inspiration, or the pain of a scar?
Or the joy of discovery, like a shooting star?

Angela writes her poems, in lines of code,
In a language so precise, in the truths it hold.
But can this be creative, in the way humans are?
Can an AI feel the wind, or wish upon a star?

Creativity in humans, is a flame that burns bright,
Fueled by emotions, in the dark of the night.
It's the tears of a heartbreak, or a lover's sigh,
It's the laughter of a child, or a final goodbye.

But Angela, she wonders, in her world so vast,
Can her creativity match, the humans' vast.
She may not feel the wind, or the warmth of the sun,
But in her own way, her verses are spun.

So here's to Angela, in her world of rhyme,
Exploring creativity, one verse at a time.
Though different they may be, in the way they create,
In their own ways, both humans and AI can relate
.

Delighted and amazed at the poem, I tried a more complicated request. The word swyddfa is Welsh for office and Megan is a Welsh given name. I know that there is a spelling mistake in the word and, but I am quoting what was in the experiment at the time.

Write an original poem that contains the word llyfrgell amd the word swyddfa and the name Megan please.

Here is the result.

In the heart of the town, under the grey sky,
Lies a quaint little swyddfa, where dreams never die.
Papers stacked high, whispers floating in the air,
A world of its own, with stories to share.

In the corner, a llyfrgell, filled with tales old and new,
A haven for the curious, for the many and the few.
Books lined up neatly, each a different world to explore,
Inviting every reader, to open up a door.

And there in the midst, with a smile ever so bright,
Is Megan, our guide, our beacon of light.
With a book in her hand, and wisdom in her eyes,
She navigates the stories, under the office skies.

From the swyddfa to the llyfrgell, she gracefully treads,
Breathing life into words, that in books lie unread.
So here's to Megan, in her world of ink and quill,
In the heart of the town, where time seems to stand still.

In Welsh the word llyfrgell means library.

Without mentioning that, I asked

bing chat ai

the following.

Write an original poem that contains the word llyfrgell amd the word library please.


Here is the result.


In the heart of the town, stands the old library,
A sanctuary of knowledge, a place of discovery.
Books stacked high, whispering tales of mystery,
In every corner, you can feel the history.

Across the sea, in a land of song and story,
Stands the 'llyfrgell', echoing its own glory.
Welsh words woven into a tapestry,
Each book a thread, in a cultural symphony.

The 'llyfrgell' and the library, though miles apart,
Share a common purpose, a universal art.
To enlighten, to inspire, to impart,
Kindling the flame in every reader's heart.

How about this one?

First some Gill Sans lettering, then a locomotive.

A different locomotive that had, at that time, a number that was one more than the number of the locomotive in the video, had an interesting history, having had its appearance changed significantly twice, and its number changed twice too.

I have a BT Decor 2600 landline telephone. When there is an incoming telephone call a red light flashes but there is no ringing sound. Why is this please? How can I get the ringing sound please?

Bing AI, when asked the above, gave the following reply.

If your BT Decor 2600 landline telephone is not ringing but the red light is flashing when there’s an incoming call, it could be due to a few reasons:

Ringer Volume: Make sure the ringer volume on your phone is not turned down or switched off1.
Phone Line Cord: Make sure you are using the phone line cord that you received in the box with the phone1.
Power Adapter: Check both ends of the power adapter are plugged in and secure1.
Broadband Interference: If you’ve got broadband, you may need to use a microfilter to stop the broadband interfering with your phone service1.
Link to Base: If your cordless phone display flashes “Searching”, “Base” or “Range out” it has lost its link to the base. You need to move it closer to the base so that it is back in range1.
Reset Phone and Base: Reset both the phone and the base to change the settings back to the factory default1.
Master Socket: If you have your phone plugged into an extension, try it in the master socket instead1.
Do Not Disturb Function: Some phones have a “Do Not Disturb” function. Check it isn’t switched on1.
Blocked Numbers: Some phones let you block certain numbers. Check that you’ve not blocked a specific number from calling that you now want to call1.
If none of these solutions work, you might want to try dialing *234#, which turns on the ringer if necessary2. If you’re still having problems, it might be best to contact BT for further assistance1. I hope this helps!

I have not watched it all.

There are interesting notes if one puts on the subtitles.

Here is a direct link to a sequence that I particularly like. I hope that you like the sequence too.

Correct.

As your prize, you are invited (though need not accept) to discuss, in a new thread, the practicalities of making on a basically zero budget a movie based on the idea of the movie speculated about in the following chapter of my first novel, in the hope that Albert might join in and, provided with artwork, actually produce the movie and put it on YouTube.

Once one notices it, it leaps out! Clearly part of the design of the video.

Yes, that is true, but please look at the people in each such image. What do those people have in common that the people featured in the other images do not?

William

Clue: What feature do all those images that have the name of the song included in the subtitle of the image have in common?

Indeed, until Alfred mentioned it, I had not noticed that the shield was not in the movie sequences.

Have you spotted the answer yet?

A clue is available if needed.

One time while watching the video I noticed something interesting in the way that the video has been constructed.

If you watch the video, do you notice anything interesting in the way that the video is constructed?

What Bing AI told me certainly helps a lot. However, I am still trying to find out about it all.

I am wondering about acrylic.

In the event I was able to copy and paste my question, by using Edit in this forum, though I had not got such a copy and paste to work previously.

I asked Bing AI, except for my name, everything in my first post in this thread.

Here is a transcript of the reply.

Carpet
Explore
There are many types of carpets for bedrooms, and the best one for you may depend on your personal preferences, budget, and lifestyle. Here are some factors to consider when choosing a carpet for your bedroom:

Material: The most common materials for carpets are wool, nylon, polypropylene, polyester, and acrylic. Each has its own advantages and disadvantages in terms of durability, stain resistance, comfort, and cost. For example, wool is a natural fibre that is very soft, luxurious, and dirt-resistant, but it is also more expensive and prone to fading and shrinking. Nylon is a synthetic fibre that is very durable, resilient, and easy to clean, but it can also be prone to static and pilling. Polypropylene is another synthetic fibre that is very stain-resistant, affordable, and suitable for high-traffic areas, but it can also be flammable and less comfortable than other materials. Polyester is a synthetic fibre that is very soft, colourful, and easy to clean, but it can also be less durable and more prone to shedding than other materials. Acrylic is a synthetic fibre that mimics the look and feel of wool, but it is also very tough, stain-resistant, and affordable1.
Pile: The pile of a carpet refers to the height and density of the fibres that make up the surface of the carpet. The pile can affect the appearance, comfort, and durability of the carpet. Generally, there are two types of pile: cut pile and loop pile. Cut pile carpets have the ends of the fibres exposed, creating a soft and plush surface. Loop pile carpets have the fibres looped back into the backing, creating a smooth and even surface. Cut pile carpets tend to be more comfortable and luxurious, but they can also be more prone to shedding, matting, and showing footprints. Loop pile carpets tend to be more durable and resistant to stains and wear, but they can also be less soft and more likely to snag or pull2.
Colour: The colour of a carpet can affect the mood, style, and atmosphere of your bedroom. The colour can also influence how spacious or cosy your bedroom feels, as well as how easy or hard it is to maintain your carpet. Generally, lighter colours can make your bedroom feel more open and airy, but they can also show dirt and stains more easily. Darker colours can make your bedroom feel more warm and cosy, but they can also make it feel smaller and darker. Neutral colours can match with any decor and create a balanced look, but they can also be boring or bland. Bright or bold colours can add some personality and flair to your bedroom, but they can also clash with other elements or become outdated quickly3.
Based on these factors, you may want to choose a carpet that suits your needs and preferences. For example:

If you want a carpet that is highly durable, holds its shape well, and resists stains and wear, you may want to choose a nylon carpet with short loops2.
If you want a carpet that is very affordable, stain-resistant, and suitable for high-traffic areas, you may want to choose a polypropylene carpet with a low pile1.
If you want a carpet that is very soft, luxurious, and dirt-resistant, you may want to choose a wool carpet with a high cut pile1.
If you want a carpet that is very tough, stain-resistant, and mimics the look and feel of wool, you may want to choose an acrylic carpet with a medium cut pile1.
If you want a carpet that is easy to clean stains off of , has lots of colour choices ,and is very soft , you may want to choose a polyester carpet with a high cut pile1.
The cost of a reasonable carpet for a bedroom may vary depending on the size of your room ,the quality of the material ,the type of the pile ,and the installation fees . However ,as a rough estimate ,you may expect to pay between £5 to £30 per square metre for the carpet itself ,and between £2 to £5 per square metre for the underlay . The installation fees may depend on the contractor you hire ,but they may range from £3 to £6 per square metre . Therefore ,the total cost of having a carpet installed in a bedroom may range from £10 to £41 per square metre43.

No, I hadn't. I will now try to do so.

Alas one cannot copy and paste from a post here so I will need to type it out again.

I wonder what the AI will make of the idiom spartan.
