HRN 541: AAQ vs GPT

David W0DHG and Gary K4AAQ discuss AI chat engines. Specifically, how Gary bullied chatGPT into correct answers about GMRS channel steps (for the record, it’s 12.5 kHz). Somebody in a Facebook group asked that question, and someone else got the answer from a confident chatGPT, but chat GPT got it wrong (they said 5 kHz). The challenge was ON, and Gary emerged victorious, with chatGPT backing down… a couple of times!

Moving on, David found a newsletter author/podcasterwho experimented with AI voices (from NotebookLM) to generate a ‘podcast’ based on his most recent newsletter. Theresult was interesting. Then Gary found the same robot voicesin a show discovering that they weren’t real!

We can retire at any time.

Finally, Gary challenged a discussion from the Ham Radio Crash Courseon why repeaters are so quiet… lately. Gary’s point: it ain’t ‘lately’.
