WHAT IS CHAT GPT?

I asked Chat GPT what it was and here is the response in 2 minutes.

Chat GPT (Generative Pre-trained Transformer) is a language model developed by OpenAI that uses deep learning to generate human-like text. It is one of the most advanced language models available today, and its capabilities have been demonstrated in a wide range of applications.

Chat GPT is built on top of the transformer architecture, which was first introduced in a paper by Google researchers in 2017. The transformer architecture is designed to handle sequential data, such as text, and is particularly well-suited for tasks such as language translation and text generation. In the case of Chat GPT, the model is trained on a large corpus of text data to learn the patterns and structures of language.

The training process for Chat GPT is done using unsupervised learning, which means that the model is not given explicit instructions on what it should output. Instead, it is trained to predict the next word in a sequence of text. This approach has been shown to be highly effective in capturing the nuances and subtleties of language, as well as the broader context in which it is used.

One of the key features of Chat GPT is its ability to generate text that is indistinguishable from text written by a human. This has led to the development of a range of applications that use the model for text-based communication, such as chatbots and virtual assistants. Chat GPT can also be used to generate creative writing, such as poetry and fiction, and has even been used to write articles for news publications.

Another important feature of Chat GPT is its ability to understand the context in which language is used. This means that the model can generate text that is appropriate to the situation, such as using formal language in a business setting or using slang in a more casual conversation. This makes it a highly versatile tool that can be used in a wide range of applications.

Despite its impressive capabilities, Chat GPT is not without its limitations. For example, the model is only as good as the data it is trained on, which means that it can produce biased or inaccurate output if it is trained on biased or inaccurate data. This is a challenge that is being addressed by researchers in the field, who are developing techniques to ensure that language models are trained on diverse and representative data.

Overall, Chat GPT is a highly sophisticated language model that has the potential to revolutionize the way we communicate with computers. Its ability to generate human-like text has already led to a range of innovative applications, and it is likely that we will see many more in the years to come. As the field of natural language processing continues to evolve, we can expect to see even more advanced language models that push the boundaries of what is possible with machine-generated text.

THE REAL MCCOY

The Real McCoy is a 1993 American heist crime film, directed by Russell Mulcahy and starring Kim Basinger (Karen McCoy), Val Kilmer (J.T. Barker) and Terence Stamp (Jack Schmidt). After a decade behind bars, former burglar Karen McCoy (Kim Basinger) simply wants to earn a legitimate living to support her son (Zach English) -- but as the best bank robber around, she's in high demand in the criminal underworld. When Atlanta crime boss Jack Schmidt (Terence Stamp) discovers her intention to go straight, he kidnaps her son to force her into one last job. Teaming up with an amateur (Val Kilmer), McCoy has to use all her cunning to pull off this heist and save her son.

That is not the point really.

According to Wikipedia "The real McCoy" is an idiom and metaphor used in much of the English - speaking world to mean "the real thing" or "the genuine article", The phrase has been the subject of numerous false etymologies and one of the most prominent and possibly accurate is one of inventor Elijah McCoy, born in Canada in 1844. He had many different inventions including an ironing board and a lawn sprinkler. Other companies copied his devices, but these never worked as well as Elijah's so people would say, "I want an ironing board, and make sure it's a real McCoy."

So what is the point really?

In Romans 12:6-7 MSG the bible emphasizes on us being what God made us to be "let's just go ahead and be what we were made to be, without enviously or pridefully comparing ourselves with each other, or trying to be something we aren't. If you preach, just preach God's Message, nothing else" Somebody referred to as a real McCoy, is simply somebody who really is what they claim to be and not an imitation. 

1 Timothy 4:4 ESV says "For everything created by God is good, and nothing is to be rejected if it is received with thanksgiving" which means there is nothing unbeautiful before God, who gives beauty for ashes. God tells us in 1 Peter 3:4 to cultivate inner beauty, the gentle, gracious kind that God delights in, because we are fearfully and wonderfully made, Psalm 139:14 KJV.

The world is full of people who instead of being themselves are a cheap copy of a great original. As a child of God, you are destined for greatness only if you can tap into the unfathomable depths of God's creative power to walk into the reality of who you truly are; the righteousness of God.
