ErosBlog: The Sex Blog Of Record? Make It So!
After ChatGPT falsely claimed that Erosblog is “often referred to as the sex blog of record” (which has never yet happened even once in 22 years) a mutual on Mastodon told me I should take it and run with it: “highly recommend you just start calling it that to be honest.”
And that was… a superb idea! The old tagline/subtitle for ErosBlog was “Sex Blogging, Gratuitous Nudity, Kinky Sex, Sundry Sensuality”, and that hasn’t changed since 2006. Now: updated!

👍🏻 Way to go, Bacchus!
When you’ve put the word in, you should take the kudos!
If ChatGPT said it, it’s been said somewhere else, at least a few times!
Justin, I’m not sure if that’s true in this case. I know that ChatGPT in training mode has a voracious appetite for text, and has been fed text corpuses (corpi?) that aren’t live on the active web, but unless “the lurkers have been supporting me in email” it seems truly odd that the phrase “the sex blog of record” could have been uttered somewhere that ChatGPT can see it, but not have a single hit in any of the search engines. Not impossible, but unlikely. However, if ChatGPT has learned that “of record” is a thing commonly said where publications are being praised, and it’s been tuned to spit out empty praise, then… I’m not saying my theory is correct, just that I don’t have a better one at the moment. Also, why do we call spurious LLM outputs “hallucinations”? We all understand that LLMs cannot literally hallucinate, but they are notorious for describing (after metaphorically “seeing”, or so goes the logic of the metaphor) things that do not and never have existed.
Absolutely!
