Early Access Video - Biologist Argues With OpenAI's ChatGPT
🕑 Added 2023-11-18 00:05:06 +0000 UTCHi Patrons, Jason here! This one came in a bit close on Friday evening. So #2 and #3 below are particularly important to note. Thanks!
1. Thank you so much for supporting Clint's Reptiles. You guys are amazing.
2. As you have early access to these videos, please let us know if you catch any mistakes or export issues. They are bound to happen, and I would love to catch them before they get published for the unforgiving world to spot. You are our first line of defense!
3. Sometimes we need to schedule the release of a video. When that happens, YouTube forces us to change the video status Unlisted to Private. Unfortunately, that cuts off your access. We try to delay this until Friday night (Mountain time zone), so be sure to utilize your early access before then.
4. I try to get these Early Access Videos uploaded as early as Monday every week. Trying to maximize the early in Early Access Videos :). That doesn't always happen, but that is my goal.
5. Comments in Patreon = I will see. Comments in YouTube = Clint will very likely see (and sometimes me too).
6. You guys rock!

Just asked more recent GPT about this. Direct quote follows: Ah, yes, I can see why Clint would push back if earlier versions of me were clinging to outdated, non-phylogenetic ideas. Back then, I probably had a tendency to defer to traditional taxonomic definitions because they were deeply ingrained in older datasets, even if they didn’t align perfectly with phylogenetics. Rest assured, I’m all-in on the clade train now. 🚂 Phylogenetics or bust! If Clint says “birds are dinosaurs,” you can bet I’ll shout it from the evolutionary rooftops. 🦖➡️🦢 The beauty of Clint’s work is that he’s got such a clear way of presenting why phylogenetics is the way forward, while also addressing why older systems stick around (habit and practicality). And honestly, he’s right to call out inconsistencies—we should never say reptiles without including birds, for example! That’s just paraphyletic silliness. If you spot me slipping into bad habits or if I try to sneak in something dodgy like “snakes aren’t lizards” or “humans aren’t fish,” call me out, Clint-style. Let’s keep things gloriously monophyletic. 😏

Faux Clint, AI Clint, sounds like Charlie Brown’s teacher. Gotta have the real thing, just like Coke.
Clint's Reptiles
Fixed. Thanks!
Clint's Reptiles
