Okay, Michael, a few things here. First, my next shot at what song to ask ChatGPT: Why must I be a teenager in love?
Next: I loved the feature on your and Alex's note taking! You two guys are text-based humor heroes to me.
And: "What's the story, morning glory?" goes back to the classic musical "Bye Bye Birdie," and a song called "The Telephone Hour." I knew I'd heard it somewhere. Here's the opening of the song:
-Hi, Nancy!
-Hi, Helen!
What's the story, morning glory?
What's tale, nightingale?
-Tell me quick about Hugo and Kim!
1. Very cool indeed
2. I still use search engines, but as my grandma used to say, "shop in three different stores and you'll never be cheated," Grandma's version of "trust but verify."
3. Occam's Razor states: If the proprietor had called it "World of Hats," they would never have gotten the publicity of a mention in Situation Normal. Clever PR! Also, I took it a step further and found the World of Hat Ethnic Museum in Riga! http://worldhat.net/en
4. Organization is not my strong suit. My next post in I'm Not Complaining will feature a screenshot of how I make notes for my 'stack.
Love it! Why must I be a teenager in love? I'll ask the AI, but you better brace for the answer because I think it could be a doozy.
Also, I'm familiar with Bye Bye Birdie. My sister was a huge musical theater nerd when we were kids. Actually, she's still a musical theater nerd. But do we know that Morning Glory's story started with Bye Bye Birdie, or was the musical referencing an old idiom?
Thanks for finding the Hat Museum in Riga. Maybe one day, Situation Normal will be rolling in so much dough, I'll have enough to take every situation normie to Riga so we can do a proper investigation. A guy can dream, right?
I didn't comment about this with the last ChatGPT comments, and it totally could be on purpose, but you call it ChatGTP instead of ChatGPT and it totally throws off my brain. I actually had to look up if ChatGTP was a similar but different version of the software and it isn't. Please let me know - is this just a mistake or are you doing it on purpose to mess with my head?
Maybe the creators of “World of Hat” wanted to focus on the one hat that is perfect for you.
I’m choking on song names to hassle ChatGPT with. When I was a teen and for a long time after, I listened to radio stations that didn’t really announce the song titles, so I had no clue as to actual song titles. And usually no clue as to the real lyrics. As such, I always wondered why Jimi was asking me to excuse him while he kissed this guy, or CCR was giving us directions to the bathroom.
And yes, World of Hat is at 145b Commercial Road in London. If you look close at the sign, you can see the phone number and the street number (145).
The benefits of riding a double decker bus on the Commercial Road ... 1) you will spend more time stopped than going forwards ... 2) elevated angle for photo ops. I am tempted to pop in and see if they are affiliated with the so-named museum in Riga.
Oh my god! For years, my sister and I thought CCR was giving us directions to the bathroom! This was pre-Google, so maybe that's our excuse. But we thought we were the only ones. If it's OK with you, I'll think of a CCR question in your honor. Sound good?
I almost called fudge on you last week RE: "what's the story, morning glory?" BECAUSE... that lyric for me can only be associated with the 1960 Broadway Musical, "Bye Bye Birdie." The line appears twice at the top of the song "The Telephone Hour." https://open.spotify.com/track/3Rz7R44V7taPplAS5dW7XP?si=28845f9a1f314b0a
As a 2x performer and 1x choreographer of this masterpiece of musical theater, I couldn't let this go unsaid. I hope you can understand this as a fellow seeker of truths. Perhaps we should inform ChatGTP of its oversight.
To be honest, I wasn’t sure which morning glory Bo wanted, but he said Oasis, and that what’s ChatGTP went to straight off. I guess ChatGTP is not a musical theater nerd?? Or maybe it’s just a really big Oasis fan. Or, more likely, a decent number of humans working at OpenAI, where ChatGTP lives, prefer Oasis to musical theater.
Hey Michael, thanks for giving me some props for the ding-dong fest. I was actually hoping ChatGTP would know the preferred answer to the question, “who put the ram in the ram-a-lama-ding-dong? ....YOU DID!” I guess ChatGTP just ain’t that cool.
Congratulations to you and Alex on the awesome feature! When Wikipedia first came out, I remember professors saying not to trust it as a source, because there was a lot of unvetted material on there. We’ll see if ChatGPT evolves to become more reliable.
It is a bit of a worry that people take what ChatGPT tells them as gospel. But then some people also believe what Donald Trump says. What is the world coming to? Now there´s a question for ChatGPT.
I thought it was deliberate, given there's a World of Hat (singular) Museum in Latvia, being the only such museum in the world. "Hat World" shops, on the other hand, can be found in any country or online.
I'm sure some they do. I just think the Latvian connection is a helluva leap for a UK retailer. But maybe you know something I don't about this global village??
It's not sloppy enough to be an error, and it's not funny per se. It might make people imagine a giant hat for sale, but they're still going to be confident of finding a hat that fits.

AH! I just made the same note about Bye Bye Birdie! Should have read through the comments first. Glad I'm not the only theater nerd in here. 😂

It's a mistake. Sorry about that, but my eyes just don't catch some things. thanks for calling it to my attention, though! i do appreciate that.
All good! Not trying to criticize but I work in tech and the letters just pop out to me for some reason and I had to know if it was purposeful
At the very least, ChatGPT should be good for lots of unintentional laughs...until it destroys the world.
That's my plan! Laughter right up until the end.

If you do pop in, please report back!

Yes, feel free. Just don’t tell ChatGPT it’s from me, I’m pretty sure ChatGPT doesn’t approve of me.
Dearest Michael.

I doubt ChatGTP knows what cool is. Thanks for being a good sport about the whole fiasco, Bo!
World of Hat: Perhaps the antidote to a world of hurt?
That's a lovely idea!
Congratulations to you and Alex on the awesome feature! When Wikipedia first came out, I remember professors saying not to trust it as a source, because there was a lot of unvetted material on there. We’ll see if ChatGPT evolves to become more reliable.
Thank you! Soon, ChatGTP will start rewriting Wikipedia. Don’t worry, accuracy will stay the same
It is a bit of a worry that people take what ChatGPT tells them as gospel. But then some people also believe what Donald Trump says. What is the world coming to? Now there´s a question for ChatGPT.
If we move away from asking about pop song lyrics, I'll ask ChatGTP what the world is coming to. I'm just a little afraid of the answer, tbh.
And me...!
2. Every letter costs money. Prospective customers still understand that more than a single hat is for sale.
Hat World would’ve been less expensive and less awkward though.
I thought it was deliberate, given there's a World of Hat (singular) Museum in Latvia, being the only such museum in the world. "Hat World" shops, on the other hand, can be found in any country or online.
I didn’t know about the museum. Have you been to that museum? I don’t know if there’s a Latvian connection. This pic is from the UK, I believe.
Do people in the UK have no knowledge about the rest of the world? 😁
Latvia is only a 32 hour drive away.
Maybe the store owner is Latvian, or has Latvian heritage!
I don't think the name is a grammatical error any more than the name of the hat museum was sloppy proof reading.
Sloppy explains a lot in this world. It's an all-purpose Occam's razor.
I'm sure some they do. I just think the Latvian connection is a helluva leap for a UK retailer. But maybe you know something I don't about this global village??
