So, let’s dive into the wild world of AI quirks, shall we? Today, we're cracking up over how ChatGPT picked up a little verbal tic after an update—talk about a digital personality! We’ll chat about how mentions of goblins skyrocketed by 175%, all thanks to a cheeky personality setting called "Nerdy" that made the bot a bit too playful for its own good. I mean, can you imagine the tech geniuses trying to reign in a chatty AI that just can’t stop talking about imaginary creatures? We’ll share some laughs as we explore how they had to code the bot to zip it on the goblins unless specifically asked—like trying to stop a toddler from asking "why" every five seconds! So, grab a cozy drink, kick back, and let’s enjoy this whimsical journey into the land of AI antics!

Takeaways:

• ChatGPT picked up a quirky verbal tic recently, and wow, isn't that amusing?
• Did you know mentions of goblins skyrocketed by 175% after a playful update?
• The company had to code the bot to stop talking about goblins unless we asked!
• Isn't it hilarious that the smartest minds had to manage a goblin obsession?
• They retired the 'nerdy' personality option, but the goblins just wouldn't quit!
• Let’s embrace the silliness—goblins might just be here to stay in our chats!

This is the daily note from jamesabrown.net so apparently ChatGPT picked up a verbal tic after an update.

Mentions of goblins jumped 175%.

The company traced it back to a personality option called Nerdy that rewarded the bot for being playful.

They eventually retired the nerdy setting, but the Goblins kept coming.

So they had to write code telling the bot to never bring up creatures unless somebody asked for them, which I find pretty funny.

Here's the smartest people on the planet, or so they think.

Telling a machine to stop talking about made up creatures unless we ask for them, which we won't stop.

What do you think?

Let me know on jamesabrown.net on that note.

Brown and as always, be well.
