Love the video. Quick suggestion… use the following prompt “Act as a triple crown thru hiker. Provide me with a complete backpacking gear list for ultralight thru hiking and backpacking. This list should include each item along with its price and weight in a table format. Please include items from ultralight and cottage gear makers.” I think you’ll like it more, although still not perfect. Would love to see a video about that list 😊
computer scientist specialising in language processing here -- just want to point out that media reports are overly sensationalising and overblowing the capabilities of systems like chatgpt. it's not a true AI in the sense that sci-fi has taught us to think of it; chatgpt has no real *knowledge* about backpacking, or any of the other topics it gets prompted to write about. it's just very very good at realistically regurgitating language about said topics that it has already seen written elsewhere on the internet, and as such, it's very good at pretending to know what it's talking about, as if you're reading a backpacking blog, but in reality there is no informed decision-making going on in the background, which is why so much of its advice is suboptimal or even silly. I appreciate you doing this video -- it's a good example of why this is not a true AI, and why we shouldn't consider it as anything other than a very sophisticated talking Gizmo. cheers!
I can't help but think that AI experts will always say that any program is not "real AI", simply because it's been done. Every time there is an advancement, the goal posts get moved. Computers beat humans at chess - not real AI. Humans hard coded the rules. Computer teaches itself chess strategy and beats everyone - not real AI. Too narrow a domain. Computer wins at Jeopardy - not real AI. it is just making connections within a really huge database. Computer generates original works of art, essays, poems, etc - not real AI. it has no "knowledge" of what it has created. The original AI test was the Turing test. If you communicated with an AI and a real person, can you tell which was which? If you can't then it is real AI. ChatGPT seems to be very close to passing the Turing test.
@@garlandbest6322 You're right about this tendency to renounce claims of "true AI" and shifting goalposts, if only as a defence from media sensationalism. I feel that this stems from the danger of blurring the boundaries between accuracy and fallibility. We're used to thinking of computers as essentially reliable, a calculator that states the truth of 1+1=2, whereas advice that comes from humans may be unreliable and taken with a grain of salt, as we are fallible and can make mistakes. As a result of this, when we make an application that mimics human language and op-ed advice-giving, and then label it as "artificial intelligence", it can give it this aura of an all-knowing infallible being, whose output is trustworthy and accurate. This belief makes it dangerous, because there is no informed decision-making behind the output, therefore I find it necessary to point out the limitations of an AI system, and note the distinction between "true artificial intelligence" and "mimicking text generator".
This is a really fun idea. I'm curious how different the list will be if you change up the parameters, such as "desert backpacking" vs "mountain backpacking" or "cold weather" vs "warm weather".
The two-person Rapide double pad from Big Agnes fits that Copper Spur like a glove and without the gap between two pads makes it very comfortable for two people to sleep on. More of a dedicated couples option, but it’s a game changer if you’re finding the inside narrow for two wide pads.
People who don't fully know the tricks to using chatGPT correctly, don't realize the HUGELY wide range of inputs and answers you can get. Remember, it's (getting close to) like talking to a real person. If you just ask a real person "what should I take backpacking?" You'll get shit answers like this. If you ask a person very specific set of questions, you'll get a lot better answers. If you just ask it "what should I pack for a 3 day hike?" you will get responses like this. But if you input a 3 paragraph set of parameters you will get answers so specific, so tailored, and so direct without filler, that it will make you realize UA-camrs like this will be all but out of business within a decade. Don't want it to pick heavy items? Then tell it you are ultra light. It will adjust. Want a specific weight maximum? Then tell it "I want my entire packed weight, including the pack, to weigh under 35lbs". Want it to mix and match? Then you can specify the pack itself, but tell it thet want it full of ultra light gear as contents. Want to use filtered water? Tell it you like filtered water. Want to make it clear you are going somewhere without toilets? Specify that, and it'll add a shovel to the list. Want it to account for rain? Tell it the time of year and the location, and it will send you with a rain jacket and cover. People treat it like a search engine, and it's not. Think of it more like having a conversation with an expert. It is infinitely customizable, AND it is only as complex as it's user's inputs are. How was it supposed to know you weren't hiking in the middle of the desert with no chance of rain if you didn't tell it. Remember: dumb results have only one person to blame. Tailor your inputs in the same way you would have a conversation with a rep at moosejaw. Let it know details.
Big YES on your opinion of Moosejaw. Sad that they’re now owned by Walmart but glad that Walmart’s approach to the ownership is mostly hands off of their fun vibe.
I generally bring a Millbank bag for pre-filtering, even though I use a gravity or pump filter as well. Pre-filtering lets the water flow through primary filter faster, prevents most clogging, helps with the life of the filter, and you don't have to backfill very often at all. Plus in an emergency when my main filtering method has failed it works very well with the tablets or drops.
I have that pot for my trips and so far it has been good so long as you care for it and not put it over the camp fire to cook. Reason why is because I am hiking with my spouse and the large pot is good enough for both of us. I can keep our spoons inside as well as the pocket rocket without much issue. What I do like is that there are two ways to measure your water on the inside walls which is a plus. If you are doing a one person hike, then I don't recommend it because of how large it is and is overkill. It is interesting to see what other hikers think and consider with gear when they first see it. What might work with me may not work for others for different reasons. It doesn't mean it is a bad choice for gear, just not the right choice for that hiker goal.
That's so funny about Moosejaw! I wore my Moosejaw sweatshirt to the REI flagship store in downtown Seattle and had my husband take my photo standing under their sign before going into REI, LOL!
Nice video with a nice take on AI. Did the same on ChatGPT but added ultralight in my request. I was really impressed with the result. It also came with some general remarks stating they are suggestions, not what you "should" do.
I have pro-rated sleeping bags for my house, if you get the left and right, you can zip them together and make an extra-large sleeping bag. I mostly do Glamping, as I'm not a fan of sleeping on the ground, esp in Australia, where creepy things just want to bite you. Not Glamping, I'm more V-Glamping (Van Camping)
Generally, i find ChatGPT to be very good for general knowledge at what I would have marked as a 6th grade maybe 7th grade level based on what I remember of school. Anything more niche or more advanced it can get into trouble including contradicting itself within its own set of answers. I would expect to spend some time with it, you can prompt improvements in the output by asking it point questions to get it narrow down or clarify. Like "what about rain" and it would have likely regenerated the list adding some rain options. Especially for something less checklist and more free form, I usually find a point where it just cant come out with a better product, but its still no an acceptable product. At that point I generally have it regenerate the last set of inputs a few times (i7ve done as low as 3 and as much as 50) and use the generations to cobble together something useful.
I have that same pack. REI recommended it and when I tried it on, I felt like the weight distribution was great and it didn’t feel as heavy as it was. I’ve been thinking of lightening up my pack recently, but am afraid it will feel like more of load compared to the aether. Without my pack, my base weight is around 13 pounds, but in AZ I typically bring about 11 pounds of water. We have had good winter rain, so I haven’t had to as often, but it typically is what I bring. Any recomendaciones on a pack that is lighter but provides a decent suspension system like this? I don’t care for all the zippers and pockets.
This was the first video I've seen from you. I primarily played it because the whole AI thing has me a little freaked out lol but what a cool idea for a video. Great presentation, entertaining and informative. Thanks. I've liked and subscribed!
Love watching your videos! Recently camped (2 weeks ago) near Topaz Lake in NV. Have an REI -20 bag and while warm, I’m a side sleeper. Watched a video about the quilt system and you sold me on it. Supposed to arrive tomorrow, and I have high hopes. Keep on trekkin’, brother. Maybe I’ll see you on the trail.
Some decent gear recommendations there - obviously not ideal for the UL afficionado but that's a niche in a niche in general. Very good tent, good stove, very good sleeping bag, excellent sleeping pad, decent backpack, excellent headlamp, good even though overkill FAK, usable drinking water solution. Lots of data from reddit probably :D
@@Stradious Depends on what you're looking for. The Osprey Atmos line is definitely not lightweight at ~2.1kg for 50l but the carrying system is generally said to be very comfortable. I don't think Osprey has an actually bad backpack in their lineup - some are not ideal or could be better, but none is really bad and their quality is very good. Imho it depends on what you intend to do: dayhikes, camping trips and shorter weekend trips with not too much elevation change? Sure, the Atmos is probably a great pick (if it suits your body). If you want to go for longer distance hikes and/or lots of elevation changes: go for something significantly lighter like the Bergans Helium line or the Osprey Exos. Both are significantly lighter however lighter usually also means less stury. The Bergans is closer in weight to frameless backpacks but does come with a (lightweight) frame. Another factor is: how much weight do you have to carry. There's no point in having a super lightweight backpack when you have to carry 20kg and more: part of the weightsavings come from smaller and more lightweight frames and those just cannot support as much weight as their more sturdy and beafier counterparts. The Bergans Helium 55 is fine for up to 14-15kg. Beyond that it will first become uncomfortable to carry and then at some point the material will suffer. Long story short: is it a good backpack? Yes. Is it a good backpack for you? That depends.
@@diotough Thanks for all the info haha, I didn’t expect such a fast reply on a 4 month old comment. I’m a beginner and looking for a good overall backpack to get me through week long backpacking trips or the occasional weekend trip, just an overall good backpack for many different things. I looked into the atmos 65l ag and I’m thinking of picking it up. The hyper lite stuff probably wouldn’t be the best for me just yet, but I’m a rookie so what do I know. Thanks for the knowledge dude I appreciate it very much. 👍
@@Stradious No problem. I'd rather go for the Exos. It's lighter but far from ultralight, sturdy enough and even cheaper. Whatever you do: try them on and put a load in them that's close to what you're actually going to carry. And that means: buy the backpack after you've got your main gear to get a feeling for how large your backpack needs to be and how much you are going to carry. Aim for the 15kg mark incl water (for 1 day - plan for a filter or purifier to restock) and food for 3 days. Use tools like lighterpack to get an overview.
I just discovered your channel. I must say, it is very well done. Informative, humorous, and the video editing you do is top notch. From the quality I would think you're apart of a larger channel. It is obvious that either you or a partner is a professional video editor. Keep up the great content!
I would have liked to see the conversation with ChatGPT, as its main feature is being able to remember the context of the conversation. Older models were fire and forget interactions. And the quality of the answers strongly depends on the information you give it in the prompt, as it has a limited amount of words to answer. Cation tangent: I have autism and I react in a similar way to chatgpt, except if your question is too broad you'll get a 45min monolog as I'm trying to cover every possibility. The better the question, the better the answer. And yes, I know, a beginner wouldn't know what to ask and chatgpt isn't great at extracting info from people, but it probably will in the future.
I asked chatGPT what it thought of your channel and it said ......"As a language model AI, I don't have access to specific opinions of people on individual UA-cam channels. However, the popularity and subscriber count of a channel can be used as an indicator of its general reception. The views, likes, and comments on videos, as well as online reviews and discussions can also provide some insight into what people think of "My Life Outdoors" channel." - Well done you pass the evaluation criteria.
Cool idea! I think the tabs are only good if you’re on the go since it doesn’t filter and that water looked nasty. I would have been fine boiling it if I was at camp already since it would have been much faster.
I had the osprey Atmos AG. It was ok. It developed a squeak after awhile that was unbearable. Warrantied it for the Aether Plus. The plus has a different suspension system and was fantastic!!! I did end up trading out for a different style of pack eventually but it wasn’t because I didn’t like the Aether plus…
Computers, even AI's like ChatGPT, take questions very literal. I'm sure the result would have been different if you had asked about ultralight backpacking gear as opposed to backpacking gear. Nit-picking aside, this was a good video.
What an interesting video! Although AI is impressive (and a little scary) it is good to see that the human intelligence and experience is superior. Be well!
most people uses ChatGPT like a simple search engine, which is limiting it's responses. Try asking a question, and tell it to ask you some questions back (5,10....) to improve it response. e.g. "What should I take backpacking? Ask me 10 questions which will let you better answer my question."
Love the video! What did you think abt the Aether 55? I bought it a year ago for travelling and I’m wondering if I should buy another one more ultralight for hiking…
You're a brave man. I just read about the car that repeatedly crashed into a police car while driving with AI. Good thing you have your own brain... and use it. Thanks for the fun content!
I'm a new subscriber. I enjoy your videos. They are well thought out. I may not agree with your thoughts on quilt vs. bag, but I won't hold that against you! 😜

I looked into the atmos 65l ag and I’m thinking of picking it up. The hyper lite stuff probably wouldn’t be the best for me just yet, but I’m a rookie so what do I know. Thanks for the knowledge dude I appreciate it very much. 👍
@@Stradious No problem. I'd rather go for the Exos. It's lighter but far from ultralight, sturdy enough and even cheaper. Whatever you do: try them on and put a load in them that's close to what you're actually going to carry. And that means: buy the backpack after you've got your main gear to get a feeling for how large your backpack needs to be and how much you are going to carry. Aim for the 15kg mark incl water (for 1 day - plan for a filter or purifier to restock) and food for 3 days. Use tools like lighterpack to get an overview.
I just discovered your channel. I must say, it is very well done. Informative, humorous, and the video editing you do is top notch. From the quality I would think you're apart of a larger channel. It is obvious that either you or a partner is a professional video editor. Keep up the great content!
Thanks. It’s just me. I do everything 😅 so your support is appreciated.
I should have known Moosejaw sponsored this video I freaking love them!!! 🤣😂🤣😂🤣
That was a fun adventure.
You have a great sense of humor. Enjoyed this a lot.
Is that the Backbone trail in Kistachie? That's my home trail.
Same.
I would have liked to see the conversation with ChatGPT, as its main feature is being able to remember the context of the conversation. Older models were fire and forget interactions. And the quality of the answers strongly depends on the information you give it in the prompt, as it has a limited amount of words to answer.
Cation tangent: I have autism and I react in a similar way to chatgpt, except if your question is too broad you'll get a 45min monolog as I'm trying to cover every possibility. The better the question, the better the answer. And yes, I know, a beginner wouldn't know what to ask and chatgpt isn't great at extracting info from people, but it probably will in the future.
I asked chatGPT what it thought of your channel and it said ......"As a language model AI, I don't have access to specific opinions of people on individual UA-cam channels. However, the popularity and subscriber count of a channel can be used as an indicator of its general reception. The views, likes, and comments on videos, as well as online reviews and discussions can also provide some insight into what people think of "My Life Outdoors" channel." - Well done you pass the evaluation criteria.
Informative. Hilarious. Greatly appreciated!!
This is a great video idea. I love the almost ominous music cuts! Nice work.
Cool idea! I think the tabs are only good if you’re on the go since it doesn’t filter and that water looked nasty. I would have been fine boiling it if I was at camp already since it would have been much faster.
you should ask it what to take on an ultralight backpacking trip
Lesson learned! Dont let artificial dumbness reign your day. Anyway, it was an interesting experiment and a really nice vid. Thanks!
Learn prompt engineering.
Thanks for the laughs!😅
Brilliant. This video I mean, not the AI.
Very cool concept and video! I’d hike with that AI…seems like a pretty groovy entity. Classy bag selection.
I love your style. That was a clever, well thought-out video.
What a brilliant idea for a video! Well done. Some of these choices are not what I would take, but, pretty cool. Well done. Crow
I have a love/hate relationships with my Atmos. Some things about it really fucking suck, but it's comfortable and durable.
Louisiana Woot woot!! I'm assuming you were in Kisatche? Just went on an overnighter trip and it was great
The music choice is just too good
this was a great video :-D Great concept and great execution. Kudos and thanks for the education and the entertainment.
Great idea for a video!
This is my first video of yours that I have seen. Was so very entertaining and you were a great story teller
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it!
Similar but the Atmos is way more comfortable then aether I have both an ya I said what i said
Pretty incredible really, ChatGPT made much better choices than most first times manage
I had the osprey Atmos AG. It was ok. It developed a squeak after awhile that was unbearable. Warrantied it for the Aether Plus. The plus has a different suspension system and was fantastic!!! I did end up trading out for a different style of pack eventually but it wasn’t because I didn’t like the Aether plus…
Moosejaw would be the reach around uncle
Which is the most comfortable sleeping pad you were slept on?
Big Agnes Q-core
Computers, even AI's like ChatGPT, take questions very literal. I'm sure the result would have been different if you had asked about ultralight backpacking gear as opposed to backpacking gear.
Nit-picking aside, this was a good video.
You need to specify, could have added ultralight keyword, or say keep it as light as possible.
Mooooooosejaaaaaw! Great retailer!
I would like to ask it about Bush Craft 😂 it probably will gide you to some funny stuff it probably a nube
What an interesting video! Although AI is impressive (and a little scary) it is good to see that the human intelligence and experience is superior. Be well!
for now...
Best video yet.
most people uses ChatGPT like a simple search engine, which is limiting it's responses. Try asking a question, and tell it to ask you some questions back (5,10....) to improve it response. e.g. "What should I take backpacking? Ask me 10 questions which will let you better answer my question."
Love the video! What did you think abt the Aether 55? I bought it a year ago for travelling and I’m wondering if I should buy another one more ultralight for hiking…
I love your channel
Loved the concept. Keep it up !
cheers!
Like your vid’s, keep up the nice work!
Lucky you weren’t in bear country. Whole different ball game.
I use the WM UL 75% of the time as a quilt. other then a few oz it is better then a quilt.
This is just really a advertisment.
You're a brave man. I just read about the car that repeatedly crashed into a police car while driving with AI. Good thing you have your own brain... and use it. Thanks for the fun content!
As always, enjoyable!
This is such a hilarious idea I love it!
Very creative video idea! Love your channel, huge fan
Very original video, enjoyable to watch!
Interesting
I'd second your comments about Moosejaw. Crazy, but in a good way.
I'm a new subscriber. I enjoy your videos. They are well thought out. I may not agree with your thoughts on quilt vs. bag, but I won't hold that against you! 😜
Backbone trail in kisatchie national forest?
Great idea! It's still learning...just like the rest of us.
But that's the beauty of ChatGPT, just ask it to make it lighter or go full ultralight and it would probably do it for you.
So AI did not recommend any clothing??? I'm glad you didn't hike naked... This was a fun video.
Love moosejaw!
This was very entertaining
😆
This is awesome. Very clever video idea!
That was fun. Cool idea.
