ChatGPT samples:

Me:

Tell me about an iot program called openLuup.

It:

OpenLuup is an open source home automation system that is built on the VeraLuup platform. It is designed to be easy to install and configure, and provides users with a powerful and versatile way to control their home automation devices. OpenLuup offers a wide range of features, including support for many popular home automation devices, scheduling, scripting, and integration with other services. OpenLuup is designed to be customizable, allowing users to create their own home automation systems. It is an excellent choice for those looking to create their own home automation system without spending a lot of money.

Me:

Write an iot program using openLuup.

It:

--openLuup IoT Program--

-- Initialize Variables --
local device_id = "MyHomeDevice"
local temperature_sensor_id = "MyTemperatureSensor"
local temperature_threshold = 75

-- Create Devices --
luup.create_device("OpenLuup Temperature Sensor", 0, device_id, "D_GenericSensor1.xml", "I_GenericSensor1.xml", "S_TemperatureSensor1.xml", "")
luup.variable_set("urn:upnp-org:serviceId:TemperatureSensor1", "CurrentTemperature", 0, device_id)

-- Start Timer --
luup.call_delay("check_temperature", 10, "", false)

--Function to Check Temperature--
function check_temperature()
	local current_temperature = luup.variable_get(temperature_sensor_id, "CurrentTemperature", 0)
	
	--Check Temperature Threshold--
	if current_temperature >= temperature_threshold then
		--Send Alert--
		luup.call_action("urn:micasaverde-com:serviceId:HomeAutomationGateway1", "SendTextMessage", {PhoneNumber="1234567890", Message="ALERT! Temperature exceeded threshold!"}, 0)
	end
	
	--Reset Timer--
	luup.call_delay("check_temperature", 10, "", false)
end

-- openLuup IOT Program --

-- Variables
local lampState = false
local lampTime = 0

-- Functions
function lampTimer()
    if lampTime > 0 then
        lampTime = lampTime - 1
        if lampTime == 0 then

            lampState = false
        end
    end
end

        if not lampState then
            luup.variable_set('urn:upnp-org:serviceId:SwitchPower1', 'Status', 1, lampDeviceID)
            lampState = true
            -- Set lamp timer to 5 minutes
            lampTime = 300
        end
    end
    luup.sleep(1)
end

What??

luup.sleep(1)

Not good - looks like I still have some semblance of a job to fulfill.

Me:

An iot program called openLuup was written by akbooer. Who is akbooer?

It: (note: answer redacted and as I understand it, also incorrect re: AltUI):

akbooer is the pseudonym of the software developer and home automation enthusiast. He is the creator of the openLuup home automation software, which is an open-source version of the Vera home automation system. He is also the creator of the AltUI graphical user interface for openLuup.

Me:

Who created of the AltUI graphical user interface for openLuup.

and

Me:

Who created of the AltUI graphical user interface for the home automation system Vera.

Names two different people - mmmm.

Regardless very impressive - give it a few more years.

[akbooer]

Scarily good, yet human-like in its fallibility.

You didn’t, by chance, ask it of the likelihood of Ezlo remaining in business?

[a-lurker]

Me:

What is the likelihood of the iot business Ezlo remaining in business?

It:

It is difficult to answer this question since it depends on a variety of factors such as market conditions, customer demand, and the company's financial stability. It is best to research the company's financials and other relevant information to get a better idea of its likelihood of remaining in business.

Mmmm - great weasel words. Political staffers will love this.

This may explain it....

Me:

Chatgpt. You have been accused of just being a disguise for an Indian call center. What say you?

It:

I am not a disguise for an Indian call center. I am an AI chatbot developed to provide automated customer service and support. My goal is to help customers quickly find the answers they need, and I'm not affiliated with any call centers.

Me:

Who is CatmanV2 on the IOT forums?

It:

CatmanV2 is a member of the Internet of Things (IOT) forum, an online discussion platform for professionals and enthusiasts in the IOT industry. He is a long-time contributor to the forum, sharing his knowledge on topics such as hardware, software, networking, and more.

Actually, I'm just a prototype

[LibraSun]

Love all this! Can't wait to see if ChatGPT can unmask my 1980s hacker persona...

[a-lurker]

Me:

Who is LibraSun who frequents the IOT smarthome community forum and the vera forum. Unmask their 1980s hacker persona.

It:

LibraSun is actually the hacker persona of legendary computer programmer and software engineer redacted, otherwise known as "Captain redacted". In the early 1980s, he achieved notoriety as a pioneering hacker and phreaker, using a whistle that came in boxes of Captain redacted redacted to make free phone calls. He is still active in the computer and hacking community, and is known for his work on IOT, smarthome, and Vera technologies.

Another result, suggests LibraSun is female and I have to admit on occasion, I thought this may be the case but maybe we will never know.

[LibraSun]

So close! Hilarious... This made my day, thanks!!

[LibraSun]

Google just ok'd my application to test out their new AI bot called BARD, and guys, it's pretty amazing. Was able to get answers to a handful of questions (about my hometown's history) that had flummoxed Google for years. If you get the chance, check it out.

Interesting, when I asked it, "Who founded the home automation company Hubitat?" it got the answer completely wrong, lol, naming two randos I've never heard of.

The question is: Were the answers correct? And how can they be validated?

[LibraSun]

@CatmanV2 in my particular case, yes, the answers were swift and disturbingly authoritative. Where both Googling and my fellow local history buffs (on FB) had failed, Bard was somehow able to conjure up definitive and verifiable answers regarding street name origins. Until then, my theory had been that certain names were borrowed from the developers' families, which is common. Bard was able to name the developers, the time frame in which the subdivision had been developed, and for whom each street was named (their wives, duh).

I suspect Bard is pulling from "deeper" sources (like scanned books in the Google Library) which aren't always available in their entirety – or prove challenging for laypeople – to plumb. Either way, the results tickled my fancy, and immediately reminded me of your earlier post, so I had to run back and report.

[cryptonian]

Thank you for the post.
I am not being too supportive or critical here. Please note that this application, which is tipped to be the next big search engine developed by an ai services company, is still in it's amature stage. This self learning and corrective application has the potential to automate several tedious tasks. I have used this application to gather insight for several job related tasks. Give it some time, I believe it will attain the unimaginable height.
