Hank asked ChatGPT about adopted lenses and I have tried to fool ChatGPT about cameras. Here are some questions:

  • I asked "Contax Cameras". The following is the answer. Apparently, ChatGPT missed the East German Contax SLR line completely. The CZJ Contax was the first modern SLR released in 1949 and the last one was Contax F.

  • My next question as as simple as "Mirotar".

  • OK, I will try one more question on mirror lenses. I typed in "CZJ Spieglobjektiv 1000mm" for which I have a post on this forum. Here is the answer. Did you notice the similarity between "CZJ Spieglobjektiv 1000mm" and "Mirotar"? Toby would bring this 13kg big tank for wildlife or sports photography. None of the CZJ Spieglobjective mirror lenses had f/8. The 500mm has f/4 and the 1000mm has f/5.6. During its life-span of CZJ, it never made T-mount lenses. So, this another piece of junk.

  • I also tried "Nikon AF 85mm f/2.8 for F3" and the answer is shown below. Another piece of junk information. The first two paragraphs are generic. The third paragraph is completely wrong because F3 is a full frame SLR and when F3 was there DX format did not exists. Well, you may want to say that could be the APS format. Yes, the size is similar but Nikon had to wait for a couple years to introduce its APS format cameras. ChatGPT does not seem to know F3 is a MF camera.

  • My next question was "First autofocus SLR and the answer is shown below. Obviously the answer "Konica C35 AF" is wrong. The first AF SLR was a Polaroid while the first interchangeable lens SLR was Minolta Maxxum 7000.

  • My next question was "who is Robion Kirby?"  Prof. Kirby contributed very significantly to the math field of topology and solved a number of long standing problems.  Missing Prof. Kirby is unforgivable.   Here is a Wiki page about Prof. Kirby .

I don't trust any form of AI. AI is just a computer program and there are problems that cannot be solved by any computer programs such as Turing's Halting problem. A computer program is based on mathematical logic and in any logic system as long as it can count there exists a proposition that cannot be proved within the system. This is the Godel Incompleteness Theorem. Therefore, any logical system that can count has a proposition that is not provable within the system, and there are not computable problems by any computer programs as long as the computer architecture being used is still of the Turing type.

In the 1950's and early 1960's there was a hugh debate regarding the capability of AI. We perhaps should look back before too blindly being led by AI.
