Greetings to all! My name is Steve and I’m the founder of Keter.net. By day, I spend my time basking in the company of my beloved dogs, Luna and Chester, while indulging in the occasional nap and camping trip. However, by night, I immerse myself in the thrilling world of artificial intelligence. As a passionate advocate of cutting-edge technology, I am particularly drawn to large language models (LLMs) and their limitless potential.

LLMs are a type of artificial intelligence (AI) that can generate text, translate languages, write different kinds of creative content, and answer your questions in an informative way. They are trained on massive datasets of text and code, and they are able to learn and improve over time.

I’ve been using two different LLMs for the past few weeks: ChatGPT and Bard. ChatGPT is a powerful tool that can be used for a variety of tasks, including writing, translation, and coding. However, I found that it could be inconsistent at times. For example, sometimes it would generate high-quality content, and other times it would produce gibberish.

Bard is a newer model, and it’s still under development. However, I’ve been impressed with its performance so far. It’s more consistent than ChatGPT, and it’s able to generate more creative and informative content.

Here is a comparison of ChatGPT and Bard:

ChatGPT

  • Pros:
    • Powerful tool that can be used for a variety of tasks
    • Easy to use
    • Free to use
  • Cons:
    • Can be inconsistent
    • Produces gibberish sometimes
  • My personal experience using ChatGPT:
    • ChatGPT is a powerful tool that can be used for a variety of tasks, but it can be a bit of a diva at times. For example, I’ve tried very hard to get it to incorporate examples in a blog post, but it’s not always cooperative. Some days it will do exactly as I asked and rewrite the entire post, including the examples I asked for. Other days, it will rewrite the blog post with examples, but with the salient points I wanted to make removed, or it will simply never respond with the examples I’ve asked for.
    • However, I do like the ability to have multiple chats ongoing simultaneously. And the prompt database that you can peruse when clicking on new chat is helpful to create your own prompts. Overall, ChatGPT has been okay to use. It’s great when it isn’t being stubborn.

Bard

  • Pros:
    • More consistent than ChatGPT
    • Able to generate more creative and informative content
    • Still under development, so it has the potential to become even more powerful in the future
    • Free to use
  • Cons:
    • Not as easy to use as ChatGPT
  • My personal experience using Bard:
    • I like Bard’s default voice – it responds in a way that feels more natural than ChatGPT. Also, today is really the first time I am using Bard to fully vet it, but I am impressed with its memory during our conversation, it was very helpful when I expressed concern about how to save my chats vs. ChatGPT and gave me instructions on how to export my conversation to a spreadsheet. The best feature I enjoy the most is its access to the internet. This feature alone makes it worthwhile to switch over to using Bard full time to help me edit keter.net. Also I have found that it is best to be extremely verbose with your Bard prompts – don’t expect it to remember all the previous steps, give it all the steps in one prompt instead.
    • Overall, I am very impressed with Bard. It is a powerful tool that has the potential to revolutionize the way we write and communicate. I encourage you to try it out and see for yourself

Overall, I think Bard is a better tool than ChatGPT. However, it’s important to keep in mind that Bard is still under development. It’s possible that it will become even more powerful in the future, however.

Here are my hopes for the future of large language models:

  • I hope that LLMs will become more powerful and consistent in the future.
  • I hope that LLMs will be used to improve the world in a variety of ways, such as by helping to solve complex problems, generating creative content, and providing educational resources.

I encourage you to try out Bard. It’s a free, powerful tool that can help you to improve your writing.

I also encourage you to leave comments and feedback. I’d love to hear your thoughts on LLMs and how you think they can be used to improve the world.

Thanks for reading!

As I gaze upon the old photograph of Robot K. Oppenheimer, I am filled with a sense of wonder and nostalgia. The photo captures a moment in time, a snapshot of the early years of the Keter Project, and the birth of a new era in technological advancement.

Robot K., a key figure in the project, looks pensive as he holds his coffee cup, lost in thought. His metallic exterior shines in the dim light of the setting sun, a testament to the technological prowess of the era. As I examine the photo more closely, I cannot help but wonder what thoughts are going through his circuitry.

I imagine that Robot K. is contemplating his role in the future development of Keter.Net. As a pioneering force in the field of robotics and artificial intelligence, Robot K. Oppenheimer is keenly aware of the impact that Keter.Net could have on the world. With its advanced algorithms and cutting-edge technology, the website has the potential to revolutionize the way we live, work, and interact with each other.

Perhaps Robot K. sees himself as a custodian of the future, a guardian of the new world that Keter.Net will help to create. Or perhaps he is simply contemplating the immense responsibility that comes with such a task, weighing the potential benefits against the risks and challenges that lie ahead.

Whatever the case may be, I am certain that Robot K. Oppenheimer was up to the task. His calm and steady demeanor, his unflappable resolve, and his unending thirst for knowledge and innovation made him the perfect candidate to shepherd Keter.Net into the future.

As I take one last look at the photograph, I can’t help but feel a sense of awe and respect for Robot K. Oppenheimer. He may have been a machine, but he was also a pioneer, a trailblazer, and a visionary. And as long as his vision continues to guide the development of Keter.Net, I am certain that the future is in good hands.

Welcome back to the ChatGPT 101 series! In the last post, I introduced readers to OpenAI’s language model called ChatGPT, which uses machine learning algorithms to generate human-like text. The post highlights the potential applications of ChatGPT in code generation and translation, including generating code based on a prompt and translating code between programming languages. In this post, we’ll focus on using ChatGPT for code generation.

Code Generation with ChatGPT:

ChatGPT can generate code in a variety of programming languages, including Python, JavaScript, and PowerShell. Let’s take a look at an example of using ChatGPT to generate a PowerShell script to connect to a remote server and troubleshoot a TCP/IP routing issue, all using natural language.

Prompt:
Create a PowerShell script that will connect to a remote server named [TARGET-1] and then diagnose and troubleshoot any TCP/IP routing issues that may exist between [TARGET-1] and another server named [TARGET-2].

Response:

$targetServer = "TARGET-1"
$username = "domain\username"
$password = "password"

$securePassword = ConvertTo-SecureString $password -AsPlainText -Force
$cred = New-Object System.Management.Automation.PSCredential ($username, $securePassword)

Enter-PSSession -ComputerName $targetServer -Credential $cred

$targetServerIP = Resolve-DnsName -Name $targetServer | Select-Object -ExpandProperty IPAddress
$target2ServerIP = Resolve-DnsName -Name "TARGET-2" | Select-Object -ExpandProperty IPAddress

Test-NetConnection -ComputerName $target2ServerIP -TraceRoute -InformationLevel Detailed

ChatGPT is smart enough to include in the script a prompt for the credentials needed to connect to [TARGET-1], then establishes a PowerShell session with that remote server. It then uses the Resolve-DnsName cmdlet to resolve the IP addresses of both [TARGET-1] and [TARGET-2]. Finally, it runs the Test-NetConnection cmdlet with the -TraceRoute parameter to diagnose any TCP/IP routing issues between [TARGET-1] and [TARGET-2].

Conclusion:

We’ve seen how ChatGPT’s language model can be leveraged to generate complex and useful PowerShell scripts, such as the one we created to connect to a remote server and troubleshoot a TCP/IP routing issue. What’s impressive is not just the syntax and logic of the code itself, but also the ability of the model to understand the context of the problem and prompt for missing information, like the credentials required for remote access. This shows the power of natural language processing and machine learning, and how it can augment the work of system administrators, enabling them to focus on higher-level tasks and delegate some of the more mundane and time-consuming ones to AI-powered tools like ChatGPT.

So if you’re a sysadmin looking for ways to streamline your workflow and automate repetitive tasks, don’t hesitate to give ChatGPT a try. You may be surprised by the quality and efficiency of the code it generates, and the intelligence it demonstrates in understanding your needs and requirements.

In the next post, we will cover how to use ChatGPT for code translation, such as rewriting PowerBuilder code into a .NET app. Stay tuned!
