Arguing with a Coffee-Maker

Send us Fan MailThis is episode 177 (The Arrogant Coffee-Machine) of Celebrate Poe.Unlike the more recent podcasts of Celebrate Poe (or AI Poetalk,) George does not use ChatGPT to “communicate” with the persona of Edgar Allan Poe, but uses Microsoft Bing  - to very disappointing results.   It is interesting to compare the user-friendly, knowledgeable style of ChatGPT to the “arrogant” and “user-unfriendly” output from Bing.  So listen to this episode for a gradually frustrating (but very informative) experience regarding Poe.00:00 Intro05:53 Poe begins to make up supporting information 09:31 AI Poe makes up more “phony information” in  “The Cask of Amontillado and "The Murderers in the Rue Morgue”13:16 AI Poe on “The Conqueror Worm”17:33 AI Poe (in Bing) balks 19:35 Imagined life at Stoke Newington23:17 AI Poe “prefers not to continue this conversation”24:40 Bing’s Poe refuses to list its sources and ramblesConclusionsSourcesOutroSupport the showThank you for experiencing Celebrate Creativity.
