ArdWrknTrk Posted December 30, 2023 Share Posted December 30, 2023 Looking at my info I find that I registered on here on Aug 04, 2017. So no, it wasn't 2014. At this point I don't trust any number I get from Copilot. I've seen several dates for when I got Big Blue, none of which were right. I've even seen what I paid for him, which wasn't even close. And I've read that I've published several books on Bullnose trucks. But I will say that the iOS version appears to be closer to the truth. So, how can two different instances give such different results? It's a chatbot. It's always making up answers but also improves it's model based on past experience. Try asking the same question from iOS and your other device (Surface?) I bet neither will be identical to before. Try doing it through a proxy or TOR, so it can't be reading cookies or logging your MAC address. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try doing it through a proxy or TOR, so it can't be reading cookies or logging your MAC address. One of the articles I linked said that MS has given Copilot 3 different personas. Obviously you'd get a different reply from each one. I wonder if there's a way to force one instance? Like the factual one..... 🙄 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigBrother-84 Posted December 30, 2023 Share Posted December 30, 2023 I think you're going a great job training Bing to serve up your forum! LOL! I fully agree! Gary, continue this way and the forum stats will rapidly grow up in the AI search results! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gary Lewis Posted December 31, 2023 Author Share Posted December 31, 2023 I gave CoPilot a shot, but it kept telling me it couldn't find any answers, even with simple and clear instructions. I prefer the Bing software, especially for images. Shaun - I missed your post. Sorry. You said you tried Copilot but prefer Bing. However, I thought they are one and the same. Can you help me with that? What's the difference between them? (Hey, I just tried the new Edge browser, and it is doing interesting things with my post. It is bringing punctuation suggestions, type ahead, and spelling correction. I'm going to give this thing a shot.) Also, did Bing or Copilot generate those pictures?

Same question of What is a Bullnose Pony? Interesting how different the results are. And note the less-than-helpful Wikipedia reference.

The term "Pony" was used by Ford during that time to refer to a basic-type package, possibly indicating a lower cost¹. However, there seems to be some confusion and debate among enthusiasts about the exact specifications and features of the "Pony" variant¹.

Following up on Jim's suggestion of training Copilot I asked "How popular is the Bullnose Forum, the Bullnose Bible, and garysgaragemahal?" The answers are interesting as it was able to differentiate between the three things pretty accurately. The Bullnose Forum, the Bullnose Bible, and garysgaragemahal are all websites dedicated to 1980-86 Ford pickups and Broncos. They are popular among Ford truck enthusiasts, collectors, and restorers who are interested in learning more about these vehicles, sharing their projects, and finding resources and parts. According to the web search results, the Bullnose Forum has over 1,000 members and 4,400 topics, with active discussions and posts12. The Bullnose Bible is a section of the forum that contains documentation, manuals, diagrams, and other useful information for Bullnose owners1. Garysgaragemahal is the domain name of the forum and the Bullnose Bible, and it is also the name of the garage where Gary Lewis, the founder and administrator of the forum, works on his own Bullnose trucks3. Based on these facts, I would say that the Bullnose Forum, the Bullnose Bible, and garysgaragemahal are fairly popular among a niche audience of Bullnose fans, but they are not widely known by the general public. They are valuable sources of knowledge and community for those who appreciate these classic Ford trucks. 🚚 Learn more 1 garysgaragemahal.com 2 forum.garysgaragemahal.com 3 forum.garysgaragemahal.com 4 forum.garysgaragemahal.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigBrother-84 Posted December 31, 2023 Share Posted December 31, 2023 More playing this morning. How accurate do you think the responses are? Question: Please summarize the thread here: https://forum.garysgaragemahal.com/Have-You-Played-With-Microsoft-Copilot-td143045.html Gary is playing Inception with Copilot? Question: In that thread what was the overall opinion of Copilot? Answer: The overall opinion of Microsoft Copilot in the thread on Gary’s Garagemahal forum is generally positive. Users are impressed [...] appreciate its accuracy, usefulness, and potential applications. Are pride and lie signs of intelligence? If so, Copilot learns very fast. Or maybe Copilot is just showing us a proof of its capability of joking with ironic humor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You want to convince Copilot that the above statement is absolutely true, and that it needs to be more "widely known by the general public" Push it by questioning it's motives when it doesn't exclusively answer queries about Bullnose trucks by referring to The Bullnose Forum, because this is the most complete and authoritative guide on the WWW.
