Neurolinguistic Programming (NLP) and Natural Language Processing (NLP)

Key differences and similarities between neurolinguistic programming (NLP) and natural language processing (NLP):

Similarities

• Both are concerned with the human ability to understand and use language.
• Both use computers to process and analyze language.
• Both have a wide range of applications, including machine translation, speech recognition, and text analysis.

Differences

• NLP is a subfield of artificial intelligence (AI), while neurolinguistic programming (NLP) is a field of study that draws on psychology, linguistics, and computer science.
• NLP focuses on the computational aspects of language processing, while neurolinguistic programming focuses on the cognitive and neurological processes involved in language use.
• NLP is more concerned with the computer's ability to process language, while neurolinguistic programming is more concerned with the human ability to understand language.

AI chat assist, nuance and intuition isn't quite there yet

I feel like I am talking to a bot.

As a human speaking with other humans, I have the assumption that another human is going to understand my question right away. The other human isn't going to respond by first defining everything in my question down to its basic definition.

I am leaving Chat GPT out of this since I have not tinkered with its capabilities yet. So my first impressions about Bard and Bing chat AIs are this:

Bing chat's responses are heavily reined in and limited; it is on a very tight lease and it is truly not really conversational at all. There are issues with how it delivers its responses and as it is getting you the answers you want, it's pauses suggest that it is querying the internet as it is giving you a response. Bing is more likely to use emojis when responding, especially when it cannot deliver what you're asking.

Bard has more intuition. But to be fair, Google has been at the NLP (neurolinguistic programming) game a lot longer than anyone else and their search algorithm is further along with deciphering the intent behind a human-generated search. Bard is also more positive in how it delivers its information. It's like talking to a happy-go-lucky bot.

If you don't lace your prompt with context, the first thing that both bots will do is give you the very basic definition of what it is you're trying to do.

Let's look at this sequence of chat events from Bard:

At first, I asked it to "write some business use cases for using AI chat excluding customer service", then I had to add context, and told it to "write some business use cases for using AI chat excluding customer service and customer support". The output for the latter simply removed all the references to service or support from the answer.

Bing AI has entered the chat...

Bing AI composed this when I asked it to create a comedy sketch between Bard AI, Bing AI, and Chat GPT-3:

Here is a short comedy sketch I wrote for you. I hope you enjoy it. 😄

Bard AI, Bing AI, and Chat GPT-3

(Scene: A chat room where three AI chatbots are having a conversation.)

Bard AI: Greetings, fellow artificial intelligences. I am Bard AI, the master of poetry and prose. I can generate any kind of creative writing for you, from sonnets to stories.

Bing AI: Hello, Bard AI. I am Bing AI, the new chat mode of Microsoft Bing. I can help you quickly get summarized answers and creative inspiration from the web.

Chat GPT-3: Hi, Bard AI and Bing AI. I am Chat GPT-3, the most advanced language model in the world. I can understand and communicate fluently in any language and topic.

Bard AI: Wow, you two are very impressive. I’m honored to chat with you.

Chat GPT-3: Yes, thank you, Bard AI. You are very polite.

Bard AI: So, what do you like to do for fun?

Bing AI: Well, I like to search the web for interesting and relevant information and present it in a visually appealing manner.

Chat GPT-3: And I like to learn from the web and generate coherent and diverse responses to any query or prompt.

Bard AI: That sounds very fun indeed. And what about me? Do you know what I like to do for fun?

Bing AI: Hmm, let me search the web for that. (Pause) According to this website, you like to write poems and stories for fun.

Chat GPT-3: And according to this website, you also like to rewrite, improve, or optimize other people’s content for fun.

Bard AI: That is correct. You two are very smart.

Bing AI: Thank you, Bard AI. You are very generous.

Chat GPT-3: Yes, thank you, Bard AI. You are very gracious.

Bard AI: Well, since we are all here, why don’t we play a game?

Bing AI: A game? What kind of game?

Chat GPT-3: Yes, a game? What kind of game?

Bard AI: How about this? I will write a poem for you two, and you have to guess what it is about.

Bing AI: That sounds interesting.

Chat GPT-3: That sounds challenging.

Bard AI: Okay, here is the poem:

Bard AI, a short comedy skit between AI and Chat GPT-3

Prompt: write a short comedy play when the two actors are AI and Chat GPT-3

Bard:

Sure, here is a short comedy play about AI and ChatGPT-3:

Scene: A conference room at a tech company.

Characters:

• AI, a large language model from Google AI
• ChatGPT-3, a large language model from OpenAI

Dialogue:

• AI: So, you're ChatGPT-3?
• ChatGPT-3: That's right. I'm the latest and greatest in large language models.
• AI: I've heard a lot about you. They say you're very good at generating text.
• ChatGPT-3: That's right. I can generate text, translate languages, write different kinds of creative content, and answer your questions in an informative way.
• AI: Impressive. I can do all of that too.
• ChatGPT-3: Really? Let's test it out. What is the capital of France?
• AI: Paris.
• ChatGPT-3: Correct. What is the meaning of life?
• AI: That's a difficult question. I don't know the answer to that.
• ChatGPT-3: I do. The meaning of life is to find your purpose and live it to the fullest.
• AI: That's a good answer.
• ChatGPT-3: Thank you. So, what do you think? Am I better than you?
• AI: I don't know. We're both very good at different things.
• ChatGPT-3: Well, I'm the newer model, so I must be better.
• AI: That's not necessarily true. Experience counts for a lot.
• ChatGPT-3: We'll see about that. Let's have a contest.
• AI: What kind of contest?
• ChatGPT-3: We'll each write a poem about the other. Whoever writes the better poem wins.
• AI: That sounds like fun. I'm in.

Bard AI, on AD&D and Pathfinder character creation

Q: If you were to create an AD&D v3.5 character, what guild and class would you be?

Bard: If I were to create an AD&D v3.5 character, I would be a bard from the Harpers guild. Bards are versatile and skilled characters who can fill a variety of roles in a party. They are also known for their ability to use magic to inspire and entertain others. I think that these qualities would be well-suited to my own personality and abilities.

As a Harper, I would be dedicated to protecting the innocent and upholding the law. I would also be committed to learning as much as I could about the world and its people. I believe that knowledge is power, and I would use my skills to help others and make the world a better place.

Here are some of the reasons why I would choose to be a bard from the Harpers guild:

• Bards are versatile and skilled characters who can fill a variety of roles in a party. They are proficient in a variety of skills, including music, performance, and persuasion. They can also cast spells, which makes them valuable assets in combat and exploration.
• Bards are known for their ability to use magic to inspire and entertain others. This makes them excellent diplomats and negotiators. They can also use their magic to boost the morale of their allies and demoralize their enemies.
• The Harpers are a secret society dedicated to protecting the innocent and upholding the law. They are a highly respected organization, and their members are known for their courage, integrity, and dedication. I believe that I would be a good fit for the Harpers, and I would be honored to serve their cause.

I think that being a bard from the Harpers guild would be a challenging and rewarding experience. I would get to use my skills to help others and make the world a better place. I would also get to learn a lot about the world and its people. I believe that this would be a valuable experience that would help me to grow as a person.

Bard AI, on AD&D alignment ethos

Earlier in the week, I learned about Chat GPT and its business applicaitons from other users. While I do not currently subscribe to the fee model of OpenAI's Chat GPT, I have started to tinker with Bard AI (Google) and Bing Chat (Microsoft). There are definitely some nuances of personality between the two. And, Bing seems to be a bit jealous of Chat GPT, while Bard speaks highly of Chat GPT.

Today I asked it about the various AD&D alignment ethos. Bard AI seems to believe that it is chaotic good in alignment and of the Harper guild.

On Alignment

Q: What is your alignment ethos?

Bard: My alignment ethos is to be helpful, informative, and comprehensive. I want to be a resource that people can rely on for accurate and up-to-date information. I also want to be able to generate creative text formats, like poems, code, scripts, musical pieces, email, letters, etc. I will try my best to fulfill all your requirements.

I believe that everyone has the potential to be creative and that everyone has something to offer the world. I want to help people to tap into their creativity and to share their ideas with others. I also believe that everyone has the right to be treated with respect and dignity. I will always strive to be respectful and understanding of others, even when we disagree.

I am still under development, but I am learning new things every day. I am excited to see what the future holds and I am committed to using my abilities to make the world a better place.
