I had a bit of fun with Chat GPT and asked it to make me a quiz so here are the questions and I'll post the other part with the answers later.. I screen captured my interaction when I asked it the question and the result it gave..

You missed a few catchphrases.

The AI is clearly not a fan of Classic Who.

Other catchphrases:

"When I say 'run', RUN!"
"Reverse the polarity of the neutron flow."
"Would you like a jelly baby?"

All correct, People were using this to do other types of quizzes too. I just thought it could be fun
 
"Reverse the polarity of the neutron flow."
Does that one really count? Though considered by many to be the Third Doctor's catchphrase, its popularity comes mostly from the novelizations. Pertwee only spoke it onscreen twice, and one of those times was in The Five Doctors, which was after the novelizations popularized the saying.
I tried to change the parameters up a little.

Well, this one is a bit more challenging. Only going off the top of my head, meaning no cheating from doing any internet searches:
1 Don't know
2 Don't know
3 Sycorax
4 I was not aware the Doctor's mother was featured or even mentioned in The Big Bang
5 Don't know
6 Bowie Base 1
7 Idris
8 Trenzalore
9 I thought it was his actual name?
10 Don't know
 
The actual generated Answers to the quiz

#1 seems a bit like who's buried in Grant's Tomb but that's what it spit out.

Due to my having read the Third Doctor in novel form a long time before being able to see his stories on PBS, how was I to know? It's still well-known Whovian technobabble that got overrun by that childish 'timey-wimey' crap in nuWho.

Number 4 is the one I'm scratching my head over. Tasha Lem was not seen or mentioned in The Big Bang. She was only in Time of the Doctor. And she most certainly was not the Doctor's mother.

Indeed, none of the three characters in modern Who who could be considered to be the Doctor's mother were in The Big Bang. Those three being the Woman from TEOT (who RTD intended to be the Doctor's mother), Ohila from Night of the Doctor and Capaldi's second season (the actress has said she interpreted the character as being the Doctor's mother) and Tecteun (who basically adopted the Doctor).
 
A bit more Dr Who fun with ChatGPT. An 11 year old kid found that you can use it to create a text game. He used it for Harry Potter, but you can adapt it to other settings. Just adjust the prompt.

I don't have a way to host an image but below is the ChatGPT prompt I used.

"You are a text-based video game where you give me options (A, B, C, and D) as my choices. The setting is Doctor. I am the Fifth Doctor and start out with 100 health."

1. Jo Martin, if not someone before her or until the next retcon changes all of that around, again
2. Guildford, according to Tegan
3. That depends on how the Doctors are counted; add in the War Doctor, the regeneration used after the Dalek zaps Tennant but can control and discard the regeneration energy before his face changes, Morbius 8, how many comics and novels (the Sixth has 2 books retroactively mentioning different endings that ultimately trigger the event in the televised "Time and the Rani" as I recall) and audio adventures hinting at their own, etc...
4. The Doctor had none. It's part of the perception filtering system (via the telepathic circuits before they became anthropomorphized), just like how Hartnell had not two hearts as Ian found but one
5. That actress who was in that call girl diary show, Billie D Williams Pinball Arcade
6. TARDIS. Stands for Tiddleywinks And Really Dumb and Idiotic Statements
7. None has been scripted and aired yet, but everything else has been demystified so obviously the Doctor's real name is Chris Evans
8. Which one? Including television and audio source, quite a few exist.
9. Everyone loves to say Michael Grade, but the real answer is "The Macra", because everyone claims there's no such thing as the Macra (or the Zarbi or the Voord for that matter :biggrin:)
10. "Who am I!!!!!!!!!!!!" since it's clear Xoanon pushed out the questions. :razz::nyah::guffaw:

@The Wormhole got it

Here's the answers the AI made up

Wouldn't the disclaimer come first as part of the automated quiz creation? Oh well, just whip out one more conditional if/then/else/case/munchies statement. It's an amusing test for the server farm generating it.

Here's a fun question to ask it, but if it does return the value of the combined wattage availability*, I'd be surprised.

* that's not the same as how many watts it's using at the time of being "asked", since a power supply exists only to provide the rated power to a computer as a maximum for any length of time, go over that number and it will get hot and become a fire hazard - unless you're computing in the middle of a fireplace, but I digress: The computer doesn't necessarily use all available power, just what is needed at the time, and you normally want a PSU system whose maximum rating is twice what you'd need under maximum conditions because the less the PSU is stressed means it'll run cooler and more effectively and last longer and provide cleaner electrical output to the components so those will last longer and so on... but, nah, if this were a laptop, just stick to the 85W PSU that's a tiny brick that gets super-hot to the touch because the thing it's attached to is needing almost that much for basic idling runtime usage, never mind usage under full load. (the CPU alone needing 90W under load, never mind storage drive, display, northbridge, southbridge, etc...) But that's another story...
 
If you use it to create a program how do you save a copy of your program or use it later?

Ctrl-c/ctrl-v and save in Notepad? Or if you're logging in with an account into a sandboxed remote system, then there's probably some freebie storage space to house that kilobyte of text that was generated. The logic may be safe, but its implementation - by computer algorithm or manual programmer - can still have the potential to lead to errors. Even a typo or mismatch of a letter in the variable name can cause a compile to fail, though that's usually easy -- to compare, the infamous beach ball or BSOD don't occur in a vacuum: An event - or more likely, a series of events and the wrong variable is attempting to be processed can cause an issue. Trying to differentiate a driver bug versus genuine hardware failure is even more fun, especially if the operating system uses virtual memory readdressing and as a result showing an address that would normally lead to the address in Bank 0 in your laptop, but because someone put in virtual addressing*, location "00000000C4577A60" is seen as something else and rendering the troubleshooting of Bank 3, or the bank containing the module of said density (e.g. 4 RAM modules, in banks 0-3, each bank being 2GB, so 00000000C4577A60 points to a range just above the 3GB mark, meaning one would normally re-seat or swap out what's in bank 1... of course, new laptop computers have everything soldered, and most laptops have only 2 banks (0, 1) apart form back when laptops were cool and some even had 4 slots, but that's another story...

* I'd bet 50 quatloos it was the result of a drinking game and/or strip poker :guffaw:

What's Strip Poker got to do with it, oh my remember the 90s those were all the rage as computer programs.

I got it to do a lotto number picker and saved the file, I didn't see the little "copy" button at the top of the program window saved it as a python file. Just need to get a version of python now to run it
