F350 6.75’ Bed and Gooseneck Conversion

That's the inherent problem with AI. If I can't trust it or take it for face value? why use it? if I have to correct it AI becomes just more erroneous info.

AI is certainly not perfect in this context, and that advice is given to it users (my bad on the above, i should have checked). The way that most users expect to use AI, as a replacement for search engines, has some distance to travel yet. It is basically a commercial beta release right now as an alternate search engine. This is what is interesting. I questioned the logic after @WE3ZS pointed out the flaw. In theory, when another ChatGPT user presents the same question as above, after I questioned its logic, it will not make the mistake again. That is part of the machine learning and application development process. However, I am using it extensively at work to solve for complex fraud scheme control development, data analysis, code creation, and the publication and refinement of presentation materials. It is highly reliable in that regard and saves meaningful amounts of time. I want to say that you are 100% correct that it is not trustworthy as a search engine yet but is highly reliable in other areas. Those of us using it as a search engine are basically early adopters of the tech for that purpose. I think you will find that every month it will become exponentially more reliable as a search engine. In the context of this forum's purpose, I am confident that in the very near future it will be able to return reliable solutions for just about any RV related issue we throw at it. Solar design, installing an AC, to packing bearings will be solved with this tech.

As an aside, take a look at quantum computing. Incredible technology but super scary stuff too. Google's willow is running now, still with lots of errors, but is expected to go "live" in about 4 or 5 years. Quantum and AI together...computers becoming sentient is something on my mind with the combination.

But if the gooseneck hitch allows easier pivoting on the ball, wouldn’t that be better in a crosswind as the trailer would pivot without trying to push the truck over, keeping more weight on both truck rear tires?

Interesting Stuff. I'm no AI guru and really have not used it much. The issue I see is who police's the AI. what keeps AI from being flooded with , mis leading, biased, or just wrong info?
In this case as you said a correction has been made and AI will learn from its mistake.
But what if the correction is meant to mislead, is biased to make a point, or is simply wrong.
Will AI know right from wrong? Does AI have integrity or morals? What's keeping AI from having the same flaws that permeate humanity.

Outstanding points. But, in reality, and to your point, those defects are no different than human intelligence. We have teams of folks who police our AI systems for bias, for instance, but the company has bias, the individuals on the team have bias, the users of the tech have bias...so on. You're more of an AI guru than you thought! Where it excels is in on technical (digital) applications. That is where I see it's immediate value, even for vehicles and RVs. Lots of development remains, as the mistakes i shared here show.

I don't think so. If it pivots easier I would think that dangerous back and forth oscillations of sway are more likely to to develop with less yaw resistance and and less likely to be be corrected by the forward movement of the vehicle.

Again I'm not an AI user or know much about it.
Buy at this point overall I see more harm than good coming from it.
I don't by mean to imply it has no usefulness, however I currently see more potential for harm than good.
We are simply unable to control the flow of information. That is a major problem with our society today.
If has become impossible to distinguish fact from fiction.
Everything has a bias or spin to it. And if you really don't like the info just ignore it. LOL.
Keeping AI factual will be the challenge! Especially when it's programmed by humans.
The more we eliminate the human element. The more things turn into a bad sci fi movie!
