I wonder has anybody heard or used CHATGPT it's an open source for now, chat based ai program hosted on the internet, trained up until 2021.
You can ask it about most subject's, legal and moral, it can write scripts in any language the other day one of our engineers asked it to help with writing a PID script in python to control temperature it returned this.

Quote:

Code:

import time

# Set the desired temperature
desired_temp = 25

# Get the current temperature
def get_temp():
   # Replace this with code to read the current temperature from a sensor
   return 25

# Control loop
while True:
   current_temp = get_temp()

   # Check if the temperature is too high
   if current_temp > desired_temp:
       # Turn on the cooling system
       print("Turning on cooling...")
   else:
       # Turn off the cooling system
       print("Turning off cooling...")

   # Wait for a bit before checking the temperature again
   time.sleep(1)

Which i was told would work

So i asked it to tell me how to install betaflight on a F722 it said

Quote:To flash a MAMBA Basic F722 Mini with Betaflight, you will need to follow these steps:

1. Download and install the latest version of the Betaflight Configurator onto your computer.
   
2. Connect your flight controller to your computer using a USB cable.
   
3. Open the Betaflight Configurator and click on the "Connect" button to establish a connection with your flight controller.
   
4. Once connected, click on the "Firmware Flasher" tab.
   
5. In the "Firmware Flasher" tab, select the latest version of Betaflight firmware for your flight controller from the drop-down menu.
   
6. Click on the "Flash Firmware" button to begin the flashing process.
   
7. Wait for the process to complete and then disconnect your flight controller from your computer.
   
8. Power on your flight controller and verify that the new firmware is installed and running correctly.
   

It's recommended to back up your current configuration before flashing and also to check the Betaflight documentation for any specific instructions for your flight controller.

You can all say if this is wrong here, but it looks ok to me at first glance.

I know this is not really FPV related but I thought maybe some people here might also find a use for it, here's the link
ChatGpt

you do need to register an email,  But try it out it's free with no adds, I have nothing to do with this project but I'm using it more and more everyday, and so are the people around me.

Had heard kids were cheating in exams with this writing their essays for them. Teachers want to go back to hand written tests. :-)

That Python script is a basic control loop rather than a PID system, but it's got the right idea.

The flashing steps are a little funky. You can connect to flash the firmware (probably easier since it'll automatically enable DFU mode), but that means the tab that it's talking about disappears. It's also missing the load firmware step. All this depends on the version of the configurator, though.

So yeah, correct in essence, but wrong in the details. Which I guess is kinda the problem ;-)

All ChatGPT seems to do is scour the internet for information and regurgitate it. Is it really learning anything or just building an elaborate database and an advanced search algorithm? How would you compare it to the intelligence of a human? Is it any different to google search with a chatbot/IRC style frontend?

I freely admit to being a Luddite when it comes to AI. They also scare me and I will probably never trust anything AI based. My brother gave me an Alexa for Christmas two years back and Alexa went in the bin shortly thereafter. I put Alexa in the same category as AI.

I agree but i think it is also providing some sort of better output of the data, Is it learning well yes and no, I used to play around with bots back in the day and and as soon as they learn live a human will corrupt it, And i would have to start again. So i gave up, They seem to program history into it after the event.

Not Sure, I never thought of trying to set one up, but i would have thought so. give it a try it's free and web based.

The reason i wrote this post was to see if it made mistakes and it seems it does and can't be relied on but as a tool i think it is very useful.
