I can see 'members: 32, guests: 393'. Is that what you mean? Probably bots trying to nick IDs and personal details. I doubt they are interested in text for large language model databases - social media is a famously lousy source.

They are improving all the time. ChatGPT-4 is I think widely acknowledged to be the best. I play with the free GPT-3. The advice you got is right - the only way to discover its strengths and weaknesses is to play with it.[/URL]

I'm not sure what you mean by 'using AI on the forum'. How would one do that? Is there a rulebook someplace?

I didn't know that. You mean of course text created by AIs. Am I permitted to ask why such text, when clearly marked as to origin, is censored? Are you intending to block or delete this thread? If so would you let me take some of my own (non AI) text first please?

Of course.

Both: its a process, not an either/or. They are developing immunity AND living with tumours. As immunity develops further they'll get fewer tumours and/or the tumours will be slower growing. We will call the state when there are no tumours full immunity. As with bees. Take any population...

from your link: "... the wildlife biologist has watched the population decline to less than 40 per cent of what it was, because of the contagious cancer. He's also watched, stunned, as both tumour and animal have "somehow" evolved at incredible speed to co-exist. "In the past we have observed...

I really hope they have sense enough not to do that, and to let natural selection play out. Some are surviving and they are (um, obviously) reproducing more than those that didn't! From here on those that are better at holding off the cancer will breed faster than those that are weaker. That...

Just what is it you are disagreeing with? Left alone bee populations develop resistance to varroa exactly as you would expect them to. It's absolutely predictable and has been shown to be happening all over. We've posted numerous scientific papers here in which that's been made clear. Are you...

The environment contains parasites. The only bees fitted the the environment are varroa resistant bees. A number of varroa resistance mechanism are known, and the genes (alleles) that code for them are known too. There may be more unknown ones. I'm sure you know this, so I don't understand why...

Treatments are designed not to kill the colony, but _if_ they are genetically selective in their effects, then lineages, sister groups might well be affected. This might (obliquely) shed light on a little of that, but really we'd need to see some science directly addressing genetically...

I thought that strange until I looked closely. Its possible I may have to look more closely yet of course: I've wangled from GPT the following explanation for that line: Can you elaborate on this line: "The treatments may eliminate or reduce the reproduction of individuals that are...

I don't know, but it wouldn't surprise me. However if you asked how many hived colonies are regularly treated, the commercials would push the numbers in the opposite direction.

Good point. It seems like it might have taken my assertion and fed it back to me. I went back to GPT (thanks - my bad - GPD got stuck in my brain somehow): MB Yesterday you asserted :Genetic Diversity: Frequent treatments can also reduce genetic diversity within managed colonies" Can you...

:rolleyes:

Putting some little words in between those big boys might provide cogently, meaning....

I will if you will :) Actually, lets do this instead: (M) tell me about confirmation bias ChatGPT Confirmation bias is a cognitive bias that refers to the tendency of individuals to favor information that confirms their preexisting beliefs or values while ignoring or downplaying evidence...

I find it depends what you want to achieve. Its usually the case that a conversation with GPT will give me things to think about that I hadn't considered, supply new leads, variously strengthen and weaken items and the connections between then. Its more or less a sounding board. You don't...

Well, first if we accept that widespread treating suppresses the emergence of feral resistance, that would be one argument against that position. There will likely be more colonies in most places. However; Second and more pertinent: increasing diversity is not always a good thing. To import...

Your misunderstanding is sweet. Predictive text is a standard feature on all sorts of things. AI models don't use it (mine doesn't anyway), they simply wait for you to finish - spelling mistakes and all in my case - and then respond to the prompt as whole. As you can see in fact on the OP It...
