A chatbot named ChatGPT (An AI of a different kind)

There's a lot of buzz in the press about ChatGPT ( Chat Generative Pre-trained Transformer ). It's an AI application developed by OpenAI and launched as a free research preview in November 2022. On its website OpenAI says: "We’ve trained a model called ChatGPT which interacts in a conversational way. The dialogue format makes it possible for ChatGPT to answer followup questions, admit its mistakes, challenge incorrect premises, and reject inappropriate requests."

My curiosity was piqued by a reader with the pen name TasmanMonty who reported to have tested ChatGPT by entering three requests: (1) Explain compressibility effect with altitude (2) Can you write a limerick about this effect? (3) Or an explanation in the style of a Bob Dylan song?

TasmanMonty found the app's responses "astonishing, funny and scary all at the same time". So I decided to check it out on chat.openai.com posing the same three requests. I used my Google account to login ( Microsoft account can also be used ). Here are the responses and their regenerated answers ( versions ), all given within seconds. I'll let you be the judge of the quality of ChatGPT's output ( in italics )

Explain compressibility effect with altitude

First version

The compressibility effect refers to the change in air density as altitude increases. At higher altitudes, air pressure and temperature decrease, causing the air to become less dense. This can have an impact on aircraft performance, as the thinner air at high altitudes can reduce the amount of lift generated by the wings. Additionally, the lower air density can cause the engine to produce less thrust, making it harder for the aircraft to maintain its speed and altitude. In some cases, aircraft may need to be designed with special features, such as turbochargers, to help them overcome the compressibility effect at high altitudes.

Second version (regenerated response)

As altitude increases, the air becomes less dense. This means that there are fewer molecules of air per unit volume. Because there are fewer molecules, there is also less pressure. As a result, the compressibility of the air also decreases with altitude. This effect can have a significant impact on aircraft performance, as it can affect the behavior of the airfoils (wing or tail surfaces) and the engine's thrust. The compressibility effect can become especially pronounced at high speeds and high altitudes, such as when an aircraft is flying in the upper atmosphere or breaking the sound barrier.


Can you write a limerick about this effect?

First version

At high altitude, air is less dense

Making compressibility immense

Aircraft must then beware

Of the change in the air

To ensure a safe and smooth defense.

Second version

As altitude climbs and air gets thin,

The compressibility effect begins,

It can affect the flight,

With a decrease in might,

And an aircraft's behavior turns grim.


Or an explanation in the style of a Bob Dylan song?

First version

Verse 1:

?High above the earth, the air is thin and cold

The compressibility effect, it starts to unfold

The air molecules are few, the pressure is low

It can change the way the aircraft's engine will blow

Chorus:

It's a force to be reckoned with, as you fly through the sky

It can make your aircraft's performance, start to die

The compressibility effect, it can be a curse

But if you understand it, it can make your flight less terse

Verse 2:

It's more pronounced at high speeds, and at high altitude

It can make the airfoils behave, in an attitude

It's not always bad, but it can cause some strain

And if you're not aware, it can lead to some pain

Outro:

So heed the compressibility effect, as you take to the skies

It's a force that can't be ignored, it's not a surprise

If you understand it, you'll fly with less stress

And your aircraft's performance, will be at its best.

Second version

Verse 1:

The air gets thin, as we climb high

The engine roars, to touch the sky

But with each mile, the air gets scarce

And compressibility, we must face

Chorus:

The compressibility effect, is a tale of woe

It can slow us down, make the engine glow

It's a force to be reckoned with, up in the air

A reminder, that Mother Nature, doesn't always play fair

Verse 2:

As we push the limits, of speed and height

The compressibility, it comes into sight

It's a force, that can't be ignored

It can make the wings, bend and soar

Chorus

Outro:

So next time you fly, high in the sky

Remember the compressibility effect, and the reason why

The air gets thin, and the engine may roar

But it's a reminder, of the power, of Mother Nature once more.

Third version

Verse 1:

Well, the air gets thin as you go up high,

And the compressibility starts to die,

It's a tricky thing, this effect,

Can make your aircraft deflect,

And your engine's thrust starts to cry.

Chorus:

But don't let it get you down,

Just keep your feet on the ground,

It's a challenge to fly,

In the thin blue sky,

But with knowledge, you'll wear the crown.

Verse 2:

It's a game of speed and altitude,

A test of skill, it's a attitude,

You gotta know when to push,

And when to hush,

Or else you'll end up in a platitude.

Chorus

Verse 3:

So keep your wits about you,

And your wings true blue,

And you'll sail through the sky,

With the compressibility,

And leave all your troubles behind you.

Chorus.
