My comment: As a numbers guy, I notice right away that there are many more than 10 facts, does this mean it’s up to me to pick 10 that are weird, or is it the old bait and switch, where you tell LinkedIn there are 10, but 500ways knows that here are a lot more, or perhaps it’s a figurative 10 facts rather than a literal 10 facts. As a second numbers proof reading, just exactly how are the last five U.S. presidents defined in this document? In my method of counting, if you only count trump once, neither Clinton or Carter were in the last 5. I am betting the proofreading was done by a chatbot. Thanks for the opportunity to geek out, Trey
Hi Trey, Great question about the ’10’ facts. The way I figured it, some people may not think that all the facts are sufficiently interesting, but I’m hoping they can find 10 facts that do fascinate. – Jeff
Wow, rapid response. So for this query I’ll assume it’s both a figurative 10 weird facts, and I get to pick them. It’s a widely held click bait belief that any headline with a number in it is more likely to be converted to a click, so I get it. It’s good to know you both have sufficient traffic, and are able to cruise the comments early to have your readers appreciate it. I’ve found that after a career or original research and numerical analysis, I now unconsciously parse any numbers for consistency. I often am accused of having a psychological disorder involving being obsessive.
The thing about three of the last 5 presidents was not only out-of-date and ambiguous, it wasn’t even very interesting, so I deleted it. In answer to your supposition: I used a chatbot plus Wikipedia to give me a list of items, then manually fact-checked and edited the list.
My comment was meant to portray how amusing I find it that after all these years of development and training how imprecise and often incorrect the current models can be for an entity that has all the facts available, and milliseconds are years in the human scale. I find autocorrect to be especially annoying, and have heard numerous comedy routines which claim to have scripts written with autocorrect. Doesn’t it seem like things should be better by now? Btw, I saw an article that was mentioning flying cars based on the 4 prop model handheld drones, except human sized with a seat underneath. The article implied that they would be replacing uber as taxis. “Sh*t you hear in Silicon Valley”
