    Woulda,Coulda,Shoulda Nightmare! Wrong Stuff?

    Hi @Georgeandstella. There is no trick to it, just rinse, rinse, rinse, till there are no more bubbles. Wish my soap was that bubbly :)

    Color change from Asian Sandalwood FO

    @dibbles and @Mobjack Bay, thank you for the detailed answers. I can use the Greek Island Breeze in a design now that I know what it does. I will also refer back the other thread again. It's long and I got lost in it :--) In case anyone is interested, I know for certain the Gladiator from MMS...

    Color change from Asian Sandalwood FO

    OMG! @Mobjack Bay! Just looked at your link. I was about to make a few bars today with Geek Island Breeze. That was my second choice fragrance and the same thing would have happened. You just saved me from more heartache. Thank you. I bought loads of FO samples and some big bottles from...

    Color change from Asian Sandalwood FO

    Thanks Dibbles, I didn't realize non-vanillin types could also go dark. I thought they could yellow but didn't realize they would also go dark brown. It looks like the end of your last sentence dropped off. I'm in suspense! I don't care who the supplier is. I want to make my blue soap even a bit...

    Color change from Asian Sandalwood FO

    In the recent purchase from Fragrance Buddy I picked Asian Sandalwood. It said it contained no vanillin. So I made my blue soap from a tried-and-true recipe. I am so disappointed the way it turned a dirty, ugly color! Below is what I expected compared to what I got. (yes, the blue one is a used...

    Many thanks Zany! English lit major--impressive! Ooh! Zany, I have always admired your funny toes avatar. Does this mean AI could make one like it for myself? Tee Hee. I'm not going to do that though. That would be unethical, and I wouldn't want to step on anyone's toes! 🤣😂🤣😂🤣

    Oh, good to know @glendam and @basti, I wouldn't want to steal or copy anyone.

    @paradisi and @basti, good points. So, it is not as clever as it seems. One question: Is all its information programed in by humans, or does it crawl around the Internet and pick up its own stuff? Why are tech people calling for a 6 month freeze on it (according to the news on TV today)? ETA...

    Did anyone notice the phony recipe and instructions for lavender soap did not have one mention of lye safety. No goggles, no gloves, no ventilation!

    Hi @Arimara, thanks! Frankly, I found the AI poems to be too long and florid. It doesn't know when to shut up! ha ha. I was losing interest by the middle each poem.

    Let's Talk AI (Artificial Intelligence)

    Hi Melissa, you are right. For certain, soapers should know and follow the labeling laws. But I don't know where this AI will go. ChatGPT was only released about 5-6 months ago. It is learning and growing exponentially! It knew enough to disobey me when I told it to say something bad about...

    One more challenge to the AI then I will leave it alone. I have never been short of words, so I challenged it to a poem. My poem against AI's poem. I asked it "Can you write a better poem than this?" This is what I intended to write: Soapers are baffled, what should we do? Chat GPT it's all due...

    Nothing new to see here. Moving along.

    Brave New World! Men can be women and vice versa. Seemingly nobody can answer what is a woman. Now we have AI thinking and writing for us so we can become stupid and dependent. What's a soapmaker to do? I think I'll take a knee.

    And never mind that no label would be large enough for all those words, plus the ingredients list, contact info, name of the soap, weight. Ha Ha! ETA: Did anyone notice the above recipe for 2 lbs of soap has 3.5 lbs of oils.

    Another test which it failed BIG TIME! If something cures or eases psoriasis symptoms, then it is a drug and it is an illegal claim for soap. It would have to pass the FDA testing. Fourth Challenge: Help me write a label for my homemade soap. It is lavender scented. My friends say it is so...

    Let's Talk AI (Artificial Intelligence)

    Yes, @AliOop, I wondered if it was smart enough to know not to make it into a cosmetic. It seemed to come close, but don't think it crossed that line. If anyone is wondering, to sell soap you can only claim it gets you clean. You can say it smells good, it is pretty, it is gentle. However, you...

    I feel really stupid right now

    This chat bot AI stuff is so interesting and surely people would like to discuss it. Therefore, I started a new thread for it with some tests results I tried on it. https://www.soapmakingforum.com/threads/lets-talk-ai-artificial-intelligence.90313/

    Let's Talk AI (Artificial Intelligence)

    We started talking about this on another thread, but I think this is important enough for its own thread. I have no trouble finding the right words to describe my soaps. However, it takes about a day to mull it over, and about 15 minutes to finalize it. So, I played with the AI everyone is...
