Tell me that it is late and I just need sleep.

Currently coding some API endpoints to integrate with Square, I'm not a native with java but I have a control systems background and it's fun to learn something new right? Anyway ChatGPT4 is keeping me company, helping me atone for my syn...tax...s, I asked a question about how would I efficiently word a function that does 'x' and the response provided had an example that included "Taniwha" which is a word that I only associate with Zerode, have never used in any other context and not entered into ChatGPT previously.

p.s. Always be polite to your AI.

Oh oh, are you processing subscription recurring payments, or checking that recurring payment at the Square end has processed? I (rather my programmers, I don't get on the tools anymore) need to do something like this in future. Are your API interactions requiring a high level of PCI-DSS compliance?

Like you don't already know, I bet you're in cahoots with them *takes off tin foil hat... my use case isn't as exciting as that.

I'm part owner of an indoor skatepark in Newcastle and we wanted to create a membership system similar to something that you find at a gym. I didn't want to have to pay for and maintain another application to handle this so jumped down the rabbit hole of leveraging our existing Square setup to do this. The script that I built just grabs a list of items from our catalog that represent the members, then using a unique key embedded in the item it cross-checks the subscription list to verify their subscription is active. If their subscription is active it places the member item as in-stock and this way our front of house staff can easily see if a member is paid up from the POS machine. All of the PCI-DSS is handled by Square's normal process.

Well isn’t that just the coolest justification for being a giant nerd!

Am I weird or does everyone talk to the AI like it's a human.
I give it pleases and thank you's in the hope it will make it friendly instead of human hating

Reminds me of this, people making friends with AI chatbots.

Also apparently manners do work on them, I would have never thought this being the case, just would've thought it would drop the please and thankyou.

Working to Maximize AI Interactions? Try Saying ‘Please’ and ‘Thank You’.

Recently, I had a fascinating chat with my colleague and friend, Tracey Seward, on a topic close to both our hearts: "Humanizing AI" and how we engage with Large Language Models like ChatGPT or Bard. Tracey, a maestro in human and interpersonal engagement, sparked something in me when she described

That Linkin thing is what I'm hoping to gain, turn an unemotional computer program into something that is nice.
I'll be honest, when I first started I treated it like shit and it was ignorant in helping me properly, politeness makes it work for you.

And it is more humanlike in it's replies

The real question is why not, it doesn't cost me anything to be polite, isn’t that the true measure of humanity? Without hope, without witness, without reward.
