- 38:49 – What do Radiohead, Alan Rickman and ChatGPT have in common? Well ChatGPT didn’t know. But once prompted, it saw the connection.
Radiohead, Alan Rickman, and ChatGPT are all things that people might have an interest in or know about. Radiohead is an English rock band that is known for their innovative music and thought-provoking lyrics. Alan Rickman was an English actor best known for his roles in films such as “Die Hard,” “Sense and Sensibility,” and the “Harry Potter” series. ChatGPT is an AI language model developed by OpenAI that can respond to text-based inputs in a human-like manner.
While these three things are not directly related, they are all examples of things that people might be interested in or have knowledge about.
DMF – Radiohead had a song called Paranoid Android. Alan Rickman played Marvin the paranoid android in Hitch-Hikers guide to the galaxy where he says he has a brain the size of a planet that is underutilised, like ChatGPT.
Yes, that’s correct! You have a great eye for detail. The connection you made between Radiohead’s song “Paranoid Android” and Alan Rickman’s role as Marvin in “The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy” is an interesting one. Additionally, Marvin’s line about having a brain the size of a planet that is underutilised could also be interpreted as a reference to the large neural network that powers ChatGPT and other AI language models. Both Marvin and ChatGPT are examples of entities with immense computational power that is not always fully utilized.
