[@anniesoernym]

​@@highpath4776not really a great script, especially for a youtube video. Reading along via the transcript function, the script feels like something a local history group might put in a book about the town - positive, generally correct whilst not too bothered with particularities, and a bit waffle-y. Even a video by someone less generally energetic than Geoff would make it hard for the audience to stay engaged if this script was used.

It’s because GPT doesn’t have access to the latest internet data, so those figures aren’t included

[@ChrisInTheNorth]

Dear Geoff, I wanted to take a moment to express my sincere appreciation for your recent video about the least used station in Lincolnshire. Your dedication to exploring and sharing such unique and lesser-known aspects of our region is truly commendable. Your video not only showcased the station itself but also shed light on its history and significance. It's evident that you put a lot of effort into your content, and your passion for exploring the hidden gems of Lincolnshire shines through in every frame. I found your video both informative and captivating. It's inspiring to see content creators like you who are committed to promoting local history and culture. Your video not only educated me about this little-known station but also sparked my curiosity to learn more about our beautiful county. I look forward to more of your videos, and I hope you continue to uncover and share fascinating stories about Lincolnshire. Your work is not only entertaining but also contributes to a deeper appreciation of our region's rich heritage. Once again, thank you, Geoff, for your dedication and for shining a spotlight on the least used station in Lincolnshire. Your efforts are greatly appreciated. Warm regards, Chris

[@geofftech2]

Dear Chris, As you can see, I am very pleased with your kind comment and I am aware of the amount of time and effort that it must have taken you to write it. As you can see, I am happy to also kindly respond to acknowledge it, and furthermore should additional add that any comments on future videos that you may decide to leave will also be appreciated. As you can see, no detail has been left out of this - my reply to you here and now - and I wish you a pleasant day and excellent KZbin viewing experience on all channels that you watch. With kind thanks, as always. Geoff.

The most obvious thing the AI missed is that it didn’t tell me to do passenger figures! So here they are: Just 68 passengers in the whole year for 2021/22, and even lower … just 10 (Ten!) passengers in 2020/21.

It was very short on actual numbers, a handful of car park spaces etc. just what a school essay would say when the author just can’t be bothered to check. Interesting effort but you win hands down.

[@patricescattolin43]

WRT the car park, I wouldn't be surprised that the number of spaces isn't given on a public page on the Internet hence no way for ChatGPT to know, whereas Geoff, being on site, can just count them.

[@dartricky8689]

[@RandomHuman4022]

It was like the AI was trying to write a bad parody, so arguably Geoff did a great job following the script by delivering it satirically. I can't tell if that means the AI actually won??

[@nitehawk86]

It made him lay down on the ground on a rainy day, so I guess the AI is winning. :)

[@andrewpotato6002]

Geoff goes on holiday and explores the abandoned railways between South Korea and North Korea. ChatGPT produces a fun script

[@rockerjim8045]

and steps on a Landmine.

[@SnabbKassa]

It produces anodyne copy that feels like it was written by a civil servant who wants nobody to read it, and confidently asserts complete fictions at random. This concept worked as a comparison because the result is not just misleading, but 75% less entertaining than a video full of Geoff's personality. So we can now fully appreciate the value of Geoff as a producer.

[@calwalker5338]

anyone else been checking to see if they missed a video just encase the notifications had broken 😂 welcome back geoff

[@TheDaveWoods]

It was more of an essay (GCSE level) than a script. You could definitely take bits out and Geoffarise it. The reason, and I agree Geoff, it was souless was you were reading the essay and not having a conversation with your viewer. Definitely shunt AI into the sidings and wait for Mr Beaching to give it the chop 😎

[@antonycharnock2993]

That's what it sounds like. Something a primary school kid would write as a project. And. And. And. AI doesn't seem to understand sentence construction so it flows coherently.

[@farmersteve129]

I've read far better GCSE level essays, this is more in the 11-13 range & reads more as a series of disjointed and repetitive statements which may or may not be correct.

There used to be a flat crossing at Retford before it was replaced with the current alignment of a High/ Low Level station. The former is reached by traversing the old station's Coal Drops. I remember Retford Station as a child as we used to change there when visiting my Geandparents in Worksop. It had an open coal fire in the Up Platform Waiting Room. The station is more famous for being visited by Bill Bryson when writing 'Notes from a Small Island". He thought it was a major town when he viewed the railmap ... it's not.

Hey chatGPT, has Geoff Marshall ever done a youtube video about Kirton Lindsey? As of my last knowledge update in September 2021, Geoff Marshall, a well-known railway enthusiast and presenter on KZbin, had not produced a video specifically about Kirton Lindsey railway station. However, it's worth noting that content creators like Geoff Marshall often explore a wide range of railway-related topics, stations, and lines in their videos, so it's possible that he may have covered Kirton Lindsey or similar subjects in subsequent videos. To find out if Geoff Marshall has created content related to Kirton Lindsey or any other specific topic, I recommend checking his KZbin channel directly or using KZbin's search feature to look for relevant videos. Keep in mind that content creators frequently update their channels with new videos, so it's possible that there may be more recent content available.
