AI Chatbots are hitting the headlines.
I've just been playing with ChatGPT which is really impressive in many ways. Whilst it is not designed to be a search engine (indeed it's not designed to be anything except a research project) I thought I'd ask it about our world. It didn't know of any IAC in the UK, so taking another approach I asked about amatateur film making in the UK. Part of what it came back with:
Amateur film making in the UK has a rich history and a vibrant community. There are many organizations and groups that support amateur film making in the UK, such as the Amateur Cine World (ACW), the British Federation of Film Societies (BFFS), and the British Amateur Film-makers Association (BAFA). These organizations provide resources, training, and networking opportunities for amateur film makers, and often host film festivals and screenings for their members.
This was far more innaccurate than I was expecting. A few Googles tell me ACW was a magazine, the BFFS is for societies showing commercial films and I cannot find a trace of the BAFA!
So, the IAC doesn't appear to have competition, but has anyone heard of the BAFA?
I should add that as I understand it, the big data involved in CharGPT is not from Google, rather it's from books and reddit (apparently responses with at least three positives). Just a shame they haven't heard of us.
