ChatGPT ain't all that

I was trying to remember when PNG started supporting EXIF data, so I decided to ask ChatGPT



Apparently, ChatGPT doesn't read wikipedia.

ChatGPT's source database may be out of date.

I wanted to try ChatGPT myself, but it required giving them my phone number for verification, which I won't do.

...where DIR is the name of a directory/folder containing the images.  On Mac/Linux/PowerShell, use single quotes (') instead of double quotes (") around arguments containing a dollar sign ($).

I have been utterly astounded personally.  I have had in-depth discussions of photography, philosophy of mind, philosophy of biology, how to survive a nuclear blast, how to start dating again after becoming a widower, and more.  On every single topic, GPT 3.5 has been wiser than more humans, and had 100% accuracy on photography questions.

I just chatted with it, and it came around:

QuoteME:  July 2017 is the correct answer.  It was published in the specification for PNG version 1.2 extensions.  https://ftp-osl.osuosl.org/pub/libpng/documents/pngext-1.5.0.html#C.eXIf

ChatGPT:  I apologize, you are correct. The PNG specification was extended in July 2017 to allow for the embedding of EXIF metadata in PNG files. Thank you for correcting my previous answer.

It looks like it learned.  Can you ask again?

ME:   When did the PNG image format get support for EXIF metadata?

ChatGPT:   The PNG image format was extended in July 2017 to allow for the embedding of EXIF metadata in PNG files.

(Technically this was using the playground as ChatGPT was at capacity)

Cool.

This was just my attempt at sardonic humor, as I see ChatGPT mentioned more and more in my feeds.

Yeah, it's wrong everywhere now - Playground or ChatGPT.  It seems it can be corrected only within a session for now?  - J

I asked it to create Swift code to extract EXIF metadata from images in the Apple Photos library - it wrote nice elegant code (but it would never actually work)

I would say the same as you about GPT-3.5... which must be what you used, as 4 was not out at the date of your post.  But GPT-4 is delivering Python performing complex image operations... and the code normally works!!  Woot!   - J

Behold the power of ChatGPT 4


I will admit, this isn't my question, though I did copy/paste it to grab the graphic.

I think ChatGPT has been reading my posts.  I decided to ask it an exiftool question and the answer included /path/to/directory as part of the command, similar to the /path/to/files/ that I always use.

The good news is that it didn't return a command that made Common Mistake #3.
