    @phenomlab Now what would have been interesting is if they left it and that team actually did win. Now then would the AI be wrong or just predicted the future hahaha

    @Madchatthew he did win, but the result was released before the match had even ended! Good prediction, but still wrong nonetheless from the timing perspective.

    @phenomlab yeah, I wonder if it was making a prediction based on numbers and the season or if they told it to create that article in case that team won? Could AI use all of the data to predict a win like that and write an article or specifically be told to write an article with that team winning.

    Either way, it doesn’t really matter because it shouldn’t have been released before the end of the game. So that also makes me wonder, why would they have AI writing articles for them and automatically releasing them to the public with being checked first?

    @Madchatthew and there lies the problem. AI clearly predicted the results, which in this case were correct based on previous matches, but the article release should have at least waited until the result was announced.

    @phenomlab Yeah I 100% agree with you.

    @Madchatthew I think this approach could still work though - for example, check the results first before you publish the article - not performing this simple task will destroy Apple’s status as a reputable news source - if it hasn’t already.

    @phenomlab You would think they would have someone that checks these before they are actually released and are like, oh wait, we need to hold this until the actual game is done. It is a great way to have an article already written and done to save time and be the first out there to notify people about. But they just need that one more step in there haha

    I have never considered Apple a reputable news source. They are to influenced by the government along with some of the other big tech companies.

    A bit like the BBC then!

    Yes, that’s logic, which sadly seems to be lacking in this case. I totally get wanting to be the first out there, but not before you even have the final result. Just madness.

    Yeah, because you know, why have logic and common sense be involved. Not part of their job description apparently.

    @phenomlab that is crazy that he used AI to help do that. It makes sense that it would answer whatever questions you gave it and tell you how to do stuff.

    @Madchatthew but surely, it would flag this and report it somehow. I mean, how would it react if asked for the ingredients to make an IED?

    I think that most European powers and others like Great Britain are commenting on ignoring the Trump/Musk duo and AI as a general rule.

    Yes this is a good point. It should probably be flagged somehow when asking that sort of thing.

    Here is an update. So one of the problems is that I was coding on windows - duh right? Windows was changing one of the forward slashes into a backslash when it got to the files folder where the image was being held. So I then booted up my virtualbox instance of ubuntu server and set it up on there. And will wonders never cease - it worked. The other thing was is that there are more than one spot to grab the templates. I was grabbing the template from the widget when I should have been grabbing it from the other templates folder and grabbing the code from the actual theme for the plugin. If any of that makes sense. I was able to set it up so it will go to mydomain/blog and I don’t have to forward it to the user/username/blog. Now I am in the process of styling it to the way I want it to look. I wish that there was a way to use a new version of bootstrap. There are so many more new options. I suppose I could install the newer version or add the cdn in the header, but I don’t want it to cause conflicts. Bootstrap 3 is a little lacking. I believe that v2 of nodebb uses a new version of bootstrap or they have made it so you can use any framework that you want for styling. I would have to double check though. Thanks for your help @phenomlab! I really appreciate it. I am sure I will have more questions so never fear I won’t be going away . . . ever, hahaha. Thanks again!
