Inconsistent and Misleading Artificial Intelligence (AI) Generated Content

Here's an example (actual screenshot, open in new tab to zoom) where a GPT-equivalent AI generated inconsistent and confusing output.  Notice that in the AI summary, the content flip-flops between large anode-small cathode and small anode-large cathode being desirable.

The correct concept should be that a relatively larger cathode accelerates corrosion of the anode. As such, a relatively larger anode is desirable in terms of minimizing galvanic corrosion effects.  

While an experience will eventually figure out which is corrective. A new learner reading the content as face-value could easily be misled. 

In texts related to this topic, the terms anode and cathode appears with equal probability, so it is not surprising the GPT which predicts the next word based on probability will tend to mix this up.

White Rice (Steamed Rice)

White rice (also frequently referred to as steamed rice) is a staple food in many Asian cultures. Frequently, when Asians are away from home, they still crave for a meal with rice.

In the modern kitchen, rice is usually cooked with a electric automatic rice cooker. Cooking rice with just a saucepan over a stove has become kind of a lost art. I am sure many had found themselves craving for rice in a far away land, only to realize that they had not packed a rice cooker!

In fact, cooking rice with a saucepan is very simple. Once you have mastered the method, you'd wonder why we bother with the electric rice cooker.

Recipe. 1. Measure out the desired quantity of uncooked rice with a small container (like a coffee cup, measuring cup, etc) and pour the rice into an empty saucepan. | 2. Rinse the rice 1-2 times with clean water and carefully drain the water from the saucepan. | 3. Now for every one container of rice (in Step 1) added 2 containers of clean water. | 4. Cover saucepan and bring to rolling boil over a medium flame. | 5. Remove the cover, lower the flame and allow the rice to simmer for 13 minutes (the water should be just boiling), until most of  the water have been boiled off. | 7. Using a soup spoon, give the rice a good stir and continue boiling for another 2 minutes. | 8. Turn off the stove and cover the saucepan.  Allow to rest for 5 minutes before serving. | Serving Size: Half cup of uncooked rice can serve 1-2 persons.

Safely Remove Hardware (Windows XP)

Ever discovered the Safely Remove Hardware icon missing when you wanted to safely remove hardware in Windows XP? Here's how to get around this without getting reprimanded and threatened by the OS.

Go to Start-Run. Enter the following line (case sensitive) and click OK.

rundll32 shell32.dll,Control_RunDLL hotplug.dll

This will bring up the "Safety Remove Hardware" dialog which can be used to stop and unplug the USB device. And if the SRH is normally present in your system tray, it should reappear in the tray.

ALTERNATIVE METHOD: Reboot your PC without removing the USB device and hope that the SRH icon reappears after re-start.
