And I wonder...
does the people really find this by coincidence? Or do they really have so much free time?

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?

Some math enthusiasts do this - they are fond of numbers, and perhaps do this as a hobby.

I came across this one the other day: 6210001000.
Work out what's strange (unique) about that one, or scroll down...
This number contains
6 zeros
2 ones
1 twos
0 threes
0 fours
0 fives
1 six
0 sevens
0 eights
0 nines
i.e. 6210001000 and is "self-describing"

I used to live in Hemel Hempstead and must have walked, or driven, past that one hundreds of times without ever noticing it.

Easily done. Just this afternoon someone alerted me to one not so far from me, that I missed when I had gone for a walk explicitly to find them. They just blend in!

Haven't you heard about Numerology? It's a believe that there is a divine relationship between numbers. Probably lots of people have this weird "hobby".

0, 6, 9, and sometimes 4 are holey. But 8 is the holiest of all.

In defense of Windows, I'm not sure consistency is as important as usability.
We humans aren't very consistent, as a rule. Consistency, rather than being our natural state, takes some effort.
Do I care about button placement, or labeling, or do I care about having things right where I need them when I need them?
More to the point, as Windows evolves, inconsistencies may be deliberately introduced for user experience sake. If you "focus group" a particular portion of functionality with a significant enough participant size, you'll probably find over time, that what they liked last year, they didn't like this year, but at the same time, people like familiarity, so maybe windows lets you access something the new way and the old way (control panel classic view comes to mind, as well as task viewer|details)
As a large system grows with its users, if it's doing it properly I suspect it tends to create a very usable mess, as we are somewhat messy animals. But if it works organically with how we operate, that's really the ideal, no?**
** I'm not saying Microsoft always achieves that - hell Apple is probably better at that - but they both seem to have that goal at least.
To err is human. Fortune favors the monsters.

What kind of questions had you (or would) ask?
What is considered a good answer for you?
---
I decided to try and figure out how to write some C64 assembly code to make a beep sound (spoiler - I knew the answer beforehand)...
The result was frustrating and relaxing at the same time... Frustrating, because I wasted time (compared to some simple search) and did not get any answer.
Relaxing, because I realized that the judgment day is still far...
ME: I'm looking for a sample code for commodore 64 to beep
AI: Here is a sample program in Commodore 64 BASIC that will make a beep sound:
10 SOUND 0,10,1,8
20 FOR I=1 TO 1000:NEXT I
30 GOTO 10
[more explanations on how to actually run the code]
(this code has nothing to do with C64 - it is for C128 with a more advanced BASIC)
ME: do you have something similar in assembly?
AI: Here is a sample program in Commodore 64 assembly language that will make a beep sound:
*= $0801
.ORG $0801
SEI
LDX #$FF
STX $D020
STX $D021
LDA #$08
STA $DC0D
LDA #$1F
STA $DD0D
JSR $FFE2
loop:
JMP loop
.END
[with more explanations about the SID, and how FFE2 is there to play a sound]
(the code totally wrong as FFE2 is not valid kernal routine address)
It went on - I'm pointing out that the code is wrong (and why), AI apologize and offers the same code with a different routine address...
Including CHRIN, CHROUT, STOP and back to the original FFE2 (three times).
The truly fascinating thing is that the code is totally wrong, not just the wrong routine addresses, but the memory addresses used too, not even close to the solution...
I not really know what is the goal of this chat, but I would hide it if I was the creator...

I've played around with it. It's pretty clear that the technology is going to change the world. ChatGPT is just a language model, you could add additional steps (like Tensorflow) and correct/modify the source code.
I'm worried that I might not be able to determine humans from AI/Bots here in the near future. The only reason they are being caught here on codeproject is when they post 5-10 answers in a short period of time. If someone posts answers with chat/banter/interactions here in the Lounge I doubt we would notice.

If I only had a dollar for every time I have heard that.
Google 'changed the world' but it doesn't mean much unless you can figure out the correct question to ask in the first place.
