Testing Musk's New Grok 3 AI on X

I was just testing out Musk’s #Grok3 on X. It’s pretty good. I asked it to create three javascript programs for me:

1. Displays a break dancing dog.

2. A dancing bear.

3. prompts you to enter a color, and displays a block of that color.

It created all three programs in split second

I just copy/pasted each program to a file and ran them on my browser.

The Value of A Second Language

A hen was taking a stroll with her baby chicks.  Suddenly, a hungry cat jumped out in front of them.  

The hen said “bow-wow-wow!” And the cat scampered off.  The hen told her chicks, “see children, it pays to learn a second language.”

The Secret for Thriving in A World of AI and Rapid Change

In school (and programming classes) you learn to solve well-defined problems. The real value is being able to analyze the real world and write the well-defined problem.

How to Get Your Teams to Innovate and Take Risks

Do you want to your team to innovate and take risks?  

You need to not only encourage it, but incentivize for it. Give away two awards (and bonuses): one to the best innovation that succeeds, but also to the best one (in terms of creativity and risk/reward ratio) that failed.

Chat GPT Answered a Meta-question I asked It!

I was taking with Chat GPT about AI and machine language, and I asked it this meta question. I'm impressed that it understood:

but do you need to have seen an exact version of what I ask, or can you interpret it. For example, if I ask you to write a ruby function that takes a number, and adds 5 to it, and you do it, does that mean that in your training you saw a ruby function that added 5 to a number, or is it possible that you saw an example where you added 2?

ChatGPT said:

Great question! I do not need to have seen an exact version of what you ask—I can interpret your request and generate a response based on my understanding of patterns.

How I Handle This:

1. I break down your request into concepts

   • "Write a Ruby function" → I know the syntax for Ruby functions.
   • "Takes a number" → I recognize how functions accept parameters in Ruby.
   • "Adds 5 to it" → I understand basic arithmetic operations in Ruby.

2. I generalize from related examples

   • Even if I’ve never seen a function that adds exactly 5 before, I’ve seen many functions that add numbers in general.
   • If I saw an example where a function added 2, I can generalize that concept and modify it to add 5 instead.

3. I generate the most likely correct answer

   • Based on my knowledge of Ruby syntax and arithmetic, I can predict the following:

     ruby
     def add_five(n)
       n + 5
     end
     

   • Even if I had never seen an exact version of this before, I can construct it using patterns and logical reasoning.

---

Key Takeaways

✅ I don’t need to have seen the exact function before.
✅ I recognize the underlying programming pattern.
✅ I generalize from similar examples and adjust accordingly.
✅ My response is based on probabilities, syntax rules, and logic rather than memorization.

Would you like to test this by asking me for something slightly more complex? 😃
