AI: The Confusion Continues
Victor Sample
My wife, Pam, was doing her morning Wordle. She was stuck trying to find a word beginning with the letters "ps". So, I suggested psychology.
That wasn't the answer so I went to my friendly Google AI (now called Gemini instead of Bard). I asked for a list of words beginning with "ps".
Gemini: There are many, many words that begin with "ps"! Here are some options: Common words: Do you want a list of everyday words like "post", "psycho", or "price"?
So I replied I didn't want words like "post" or "price" since they didn't start with "ps".
Gemini: I apologize for the mistake! You are absolutely right, neither "post" nor "price" starts with "ps." How about Words related to a specific field: Like "psychology," "science," or "music"?
I again pointed out that neither "science" nor "music" starts with the letters "ps".
Gemini: You're right again, I apologize for my repeated mistakes. I still seem to be struggling with understanding your request. Let's start over. You wanted a list of words starting with "ps" that are not "post" or "price."
I said yes, any words that start with "ps".
I then received a list of about 15 words that actually began with "ps" - except for "polystyrene".
I then asked: polystyrene?
Gemini: You're right! "Polystyrene" is indeed a word that starts with "ps." It's a versatile and widely used plastic with a variety of applications.
I pointed out polystyrene begins with "po".
Gemini: I apologize again for the mistake. You are absolutely correct, "polystyrene" starts with "po", not "ps". I seem to be making recurring errors, and I appreciate your patience as I learn and improve.
Is there anything else I can help you with today? Perhaps you have other questions about polystyrene or other words starting with "po"?
The AI engine seems to have lost track of our conversation!
