This was really for fun, and maybe it will stop a couple people who don't know any better from practicing great uncle Charles chimney cleaning solution. Hope you guys get a chuckle out of it and have a great weekend and stay warm! Aluminum Can In Woodstove For Creosote (Debunked)
Yeah everyone knows that doesn't work, you're supposed to used potato skins to clean out your creasote.
haha of course, you could also throw a bunch of nails in the fire and I am sure the explosions would shake most of the creosote out.
I thought you were supposed to place a couple of 12-gage shells in a holder to keep them upright so when they go off the pellets will clean it.
so far, from what I've seen, it doesn't 'know ' the difference between median and average. I'm not convinced it 'knows' much of anything.
That would be correct from my understanding. It "knows" nothing, it's just huge amounts of data and patterns.
Just commenting on the “write up”. It looked like the exact same type format from when Ive used chat GPT (its an AI app) just wondering if that is coincidence or if that was its source.
I did not use ChatGPT for the post, though I can see why you might think so. I do use it almost on a daily basis though, it is a great tool and saves a lot of time if you understand it strengths and weaknesses. I use it mainly for compiling large amounts of data into code readable format, or large pieces of coding work, and troubleshooting my own code. For example my firewood calculator and BTU tables. I have a large amount of data I need to bring into a code friendly format (json) for import into the database. ChatGPT is excellent for this and it rarely makes mistakes in code formatting, though on large pieces of work it tends to forget stuff. It often spits out complete fiction wrapped up pretty to look like it is real data, it will even construct fake data to support its fictitious reply to you. So you need to be very careful if you are trying to use it as a way to get real world data.
The format looked very similar, thats why I ask. Nothing wrong with using it. Thats what its there for. Was just curious. I’ve “caught” it giving out incorrect info before. Whats really interesting is if you know your topic well enough you can actually argue with it and once you confront it with proof you can get it to back down and admit its mistake—something humans rarely do. No pride with a machine.
