Please not! I prefer to rely on RI (real intelligence) and my human nuance - if I like the look of a coin and want to buy it, I will buy it. If not, I won't. I do not need to be "told" what grade a British coin is by a (frequently) American TPG, and even less so by some future computer algorithm. Or was this post created by ChatGPT? 😏

Here is my 1861 - 8 over what looks like a much smaller 8.....

100% agreed. How can a 'thing' that doesn't have any consciousness or self-awareness match even the most stupid employee of a TPG? As for 'chat bots' on websites, you can express the problem clearly and get a somewhat irrelevant reply. So you express it in a different way and get the same useless reply. My instinct is to say "connect me to a human being" right at the start and repeat it as many times as it takes for Robbectomy to understand and put me through to someone who is actually alive. Yeah, I agree about Facebook. Someone in a conversation mentioned the motto over the gates of Auschwitz but gave it in English; I merely expanded that by saying the original was ARBEIT MACHT FREI - result? A 24 hour ban for 'hate speech'.

In my opinion they ARE the same - it's the different rates of wear that may account for the minute differences.

'Post of the Month' , mate. Cheers! I am sure I am not the only one who laments the rise of TPGs.... God help us if there's a rise in "Coin AI" or similar. Maybe Bitcoin and the like will be collected in the future instead of all these pointless bits of copper, silver and gold? 😏

From what I've seen of AI so far, it's utter rubbish. We have it at work for certain very routine operations, and it was initially touted as the best thing since sliced bread, since it would supposedly take away the need for us to do most of those humdrum repetitive tasks, and we'd be able to reduce staff. Well guess what, it can only operate succesfully between two very narrow parameters of simplicity. Anything even a tiny bit out of the ordinary, leads to that now all too familar note in the case diaries: "robotics failed". Scans of these are being dished out to staff for them to clear manually. With any sort of chat function, such as on a bank website, the "Hello, I'm Robbie the robot, how can I help today" type "assistance", can only ever handle the very simplest of enquiries. Most queries a customer has, it cannot even hope to comprehend. So inevitably you get transferred to a live agent. As far as algorithms, if they're anything like the ones on facebook, for example, they get stuck on the difference between a legitimate dictionary word used in its proper sense, and the same word as racial abuse, for example. Using the term "a chink in the armour" gave me a 3 day ban for race hate - the offending word being "chink". It's pathetic. I dread to think what might happen if TPG is given over to AI.
