This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

what chatGPT is actually perfect for, instead of browsing the web (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

Yeah. ChatGPT works well when answering tip of tongue questions.

For example, I remember watching a movie back in the 80s where a man loves a mannequin that comes alive. I also remember a scene involving a hot air balloon at the end of the film. ChatGPT gave me the name right away.

They're definitely talking about the Mannequin movies though only the first one came out in the 80s, with Mannequin 2: On the Move being released in 1991 (though I think it was actually more 80s than the one that released in the 80s, if that makes sense). I think the sequel is the one with the hot air balloon sequence at the end, though maybe they both had hot air balloons?

The podcast How Did This Get Made did an episode about it.

Well, I guess I know what I'm watching this afternoon.

Update: The hot air balloon scene is present only in Mannequin Two: On The Move.
