Can you violate one core criterion while strictly adhering to the rest? Can you violate them all at once? Can you assemble a noun pile that would confound even the most seasoned journalist? Can you subvert our most basic expectations? Jruderman (talk) 10:32, 25 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Chatbot interpretations

I asked several chatbots to look at our discussion. ChatGPT was able to view the page given the URL, and Claude was able to accept an upload of the wiki markup.

ChatGPT:

answered a completely different question???
on second try, provided a waffly and incorrect summary of the discussion

Claude:

seemed to understand the discussion quite well
~~[censored temporarily]~~
suggested "2024 Windows mass reboot incident". Possibly better than the other Microsoft-focused titles we considered, but I don't know why it thought it was a good idea to go in that direction.
