“People also ask
Is it safe to go outside in Toronto today?
Al Overview
Yes, it is safe to go outside in Toronto today.
There are no active weather warnings, and the local air quality is at a low-risk level.”

This is factually incorrect.

Sorry but this is hilarious. Imagine announcing to the world that you are this bad at both writing and sex.

“Chatbots were also bad at building sexual tension — the slow-burn, will-they-or-won't-they plotlines that romance readers crave. When told to craft a love scene, the bots usually jumped straight to the obvious narrative climax.

Ms. Hart found Anthropic's chatbot to be the most versatile, and developed ways around Claude's prudishness. Among her techniques: feeding Claude very specific instructions and a list of kinks, and stressing that sex was not gratuitous, but crucial to the plot.”

Excerpt from article New York Times article “The New Fabio Is Claude” by Alexandra Alter. It reads:

“In early December, Ms. Hart woke up shortly before 2 a.m. in Cape Town to teach a class on how to write sex scenes with artificial intelligence. Around 20 people from around the world logged on for the course: ‘Write Dirty With Me.’

Early on, Ms. Hart issued a cautionary note.
‘If you're expecting a perfect sex scene from A.I. on the first draft, lower your expectations a lot,’ she said, warning that the ‘pearl clutching’ restrictions barring X-rated material on some popular A.I. programs posed a challenge.

Ms. Hart shared a variety of prompts that can coax a chatbot to set aside its reservations, like telling the A.I. that sex was an essential part of the narrative arc.
