I asked it give me a positive story about Tinnitus
Tinnitus is a condition characterized by the perception of ringing or buzzing in the ears, without any external source of sound. While it can be a frustrating and persistent issue for some people, there are also positive stories of individuals who have successfully managed their tinnitus.
One such story is that of a man named Steve, who had been struggling with tinnitus for several years. At first, he found the constant ringing in his ears to be overwhelming and distressing, and it was affecting his quality of life.
However, he decided to take action and began researching ways to manage his tinnitus. He tried various treatments, including sound therapy, meditation, and dietary changes. While not all of these approaches worked for him, he persisted and eventually found a combination of strategies that helped him.
Steve now reports that he has learned to live with his tinnitus and no longer feels like it controls his life. He still experiences the ringing in his ears, but he has found ways to manage it so that it is no longer a constant source of stress and discomfort. He encourages others with tinnitus to keep searching for solutions and to never give up hope.
While tinnitus can be a challenging condition, it is possible to find ways to cope and live a fulfilling life. With the right support and strategies, individuals with tinnitus can learn to manage their symptoms and regain a sense of control over their lives.

In case anyone is wondering what ChatGPT is, it's an artificial intelligence chatbot making the lives of college and university lecturers very difficult at the moment, thanks to it's ability to take directions and create answers to questions, even penning essay-length responses in no time at all.
It's the text equivalent of bots like MidJourney and NightCafe, which do the same for arts and visual media.
Thanks Pat. I was considering explaining it. It's interesting you mention (or did you get ChatGPT to do that 😉) about challenges in education. This might be the wrong forum, but I'm a college lecturer,. It's certainly proving interesting. I've ran student work through checkers, such as ZeroGPT and other checking tools for AI generated text. Also Turnitin (plagiarism checker used by schools, colleges and universities) have or are soon to integrate AI checks into there software. It is possible to spot by eye too.
I use it in my job. It can produce schemes of work, lesson plans and content. As a Computing Lecturer I can ask it to generate code, to use as examples (or even check student work for errors), and I am seeking permission from my college to show students how to use it correctly. One may argue it is no different to googling the answers, just exceptionally more efficient.
My opinion is that we should embrace it and avoid negativity about it. Why not take advantage of it as a learning tool and teach students to use it to enhance their work. It's not going away anytime soon.
I would agree with you - new tech always gets a bad rap, and some of the stuff that I've seen coming out of MidJourney boggles the mind with how it can render artistic complexity from a paragraph of text. There seems more of a role than ever for curators and editors when innovations like this pop up...
That's the approach the IB is taking. I wonder at what point we will have gone far enough so there's no longer any need to interact with anyone, have any original thought, but be very good at citing sources such as ChatGBT. I am not sure that ALL technological advances should be characterised as such. But probably the wrong forum for this!
It's here to stay and get better. I accept there are negative thing about chatbots and this kind of technology, but it's here to stay. Though we could use these tools.Having read a rather distressing post recently. I thought could id ask AI to help. So imagine living alone and suffering with a condition such as ours. We could ask a chatbots, "give me a positive story about tinnitus" or "What can I do about tinnitus. Will it stop."
I don't doubt the problem and impact on society. On balance maybe we should try to look for solutions where it could be used for a greater good.
Thanks for the enlightenment Pat. It sounds like another load of IT crap designed to avoid any need for human interaction and speed up life to the point that 'sense and sensibility' becomes (un)sustainable. Why is it that systems - ie systems engineers - find it necessary to impose all this upon us and minimise the need and opportunity to interact with other people in an organic and natural way? No wonder there is an increasing prevalence of tinnitus within society, with all the stress of the on-line life-style that we have to put up with! Sorry for the rant, but I'm having an off-day.
I've never come across ChatGPT .. If I'm honest I think it tells us that AI doesn't understand T . It sounds very clinical and not like a lived experience at all.
Indeed it doesn't understand Tinnitus, it says, "my responses are generated based on the most probable answer to the input question, given the information available to me. However, it's important to note that my responses are generated algorithmically and may not always be accurate or complete, so it's always a good idea to verify any information I provide through additional research or consultation with experts in the relevant field."
The clinical aspect is how to spot students who copy-and-paste it's answers.
On the contrary. It's a question for huge debate. I've read more recently, putting it in simple terms maybe from headlines, that AI will not replace doctors in one instance and it could in another. That's headline I guess - do they mean GPs or Surgeons? What do the media want you to believe by sensationalising it in the Headlines. However, it has also been reported to be able to detect early Alzheimer's in speech.Sorry I'm not really directly relating this to tinnitus. However, AI could detect early patterns and signs in Medical and Lifestyle Data to help prevent it in those case where there appears to be no patterns and where it is difficult to predict.
So whilst it has been found by revealing some very positive breakthroughs, as well as some not so great, many may argue in the former case of robot GPs. It may prove to be for the greater good?
surviveT yep Troll. I don't disagree! One way to deal with trolls is to ignore and on more public/common forums, e.g FB, this 99.9... % of the time is the only way.
However, this is a professional forum, very well moderated. IMHO, as members we need reinforce our purpose for the sake of everyone else (not his) and that Trolls will be called out, without playing their game. Restore confidence in those who genuinely need this as a safe space.
The question is and point Im trying to make, is that as scientific and technological breakthroughs have done with other medical advances, such as genetics and detecting or identifying those more prevalent to cancer. This is done through genetic profiling by detecting patterns. So maybe, there are complex patterns in the medical/lifestyle data for Potential Tinnitus sufferers that are far too complex for current technology to detect. AI could provide and give us hope for those suffering from Tinnitus and related hearing disorders by finding a currently hidden pattern and early intervention. We have seen such breakthroughs in other area with the advance of technology and the dedicated and hard work of medical researchers - this is evident and informed.I
I respect your opinion, so I don't want this thread to get into such a debate that we are sanctioned by breaking forum rules. Please can we stick to the facts and evidence, keep it on topic and keep it sweet.
AI has, and will indeed continue to be used for military purposes (see link below) and for both good and ill. Let's hope as a deterrent and evidence gathering tool we will be able to prevent such atrocities that "science" in the wrong hands has caused in the past - as those who believed in Eugenics.
