Tweet limit - you cannot tweet more than thrice a day in Elon's Twitter?

I get the message, "You are over the daily limit for sending Tweets" when I try to tweet something. Interestingly, I only tweeted thrice and that too 7 hours ago. Previously, Twitter allowed 2400 tweets per day and 50 tweets in any 30 mins interval.

  • Tweets: 2,400 per day. The daily update limit is further broken down into smaller limits for semi-hourly intervals. Retweets are counted as Tweets.

 Now that Elon Musk has taken over, he wants to make sure more people will become paid subscribers. However, limiting folks from tweeting more than thrice is silly. It will more likely kill Twitter before it gets folks to pay the 7$/month. Twitter is not that special anyway. Elon should provide premium features to entice the users into the Twitter Blue, instead of trying to make the unpaid Twitter accounts completely unusable by these outrageous throttling and quota.

Update as of 5:35 p.m: As I dig more, it appears only scheduled tweets are sent. I managed to send two tweets by scheduling those to tweet in 2 minutes. I am not sure whether it is a bug or something to limit the unpaid users from tweeting in real-time. At this point, I assume it is a bug.

I asked ChatGPT to write a movie script

Everyone has been using ChatGPT and I am already quite late to try it out. So today I asked it to generate a movie script with two of my favorite artists. For every try, it generated different scripts, although all seemed to follow similar story, given the same minimal request: 

"Make a movie script with Thalapathy Vijay and Chungha"

The outcome is neat.


Title: Rise of the Superstar

Fade in:

INT. AIRPORT TERMINAL - DAY

We see a crowded airport terminal with travelers hurrying to their gates. Suddenly, the crowd parts to reveal a charismatic young man, THALAPATHY VIJAY, walking through with confidence and style. He is greeted by his fans who take selfies and ask for autographs.

Vijay: (smiling) Hey guys! How's it going?

FANS: (excited) Thalapathy! You're the best!

Vijay: (laughing) I appreciate the love, guys. But I'm here for a reason.

As Vijay makes his way through the terminal, we see CHUNGHA, a talented K-pop star, arriving at the airport. She is mobbed by fans and paparazzi, but she handles it with grace and poise.

Chungha: (smiling) Hi everyone! It's great to be here.

As Vijay and Chungha make their way through the airport, they are unaware that they are about to cross paths.

Cut to:

INT. AIRLINE LOUNGE - DAY

Vijay and Chungha are both waiting to board their respective flights. They are seated next to each other, but are lost in their own thoughts.

Vijay: (sighs) I just want a break from all this.

Chungha: (nods) I know what you mean. Sometimes, it's hard to keep up with all the expectations.

Vijay and Chungha look up and their eyes meet. They both smile, recognizing a fellow performer in each other.

Vijay: (extending his hand) Hi, I'm Vijay.

Chungha: (shaking his hand) Hi, I'm Chungha.

They chat for a while and quickly realize that they have a lot in common. Both are passionate about their careers and strive for excellence in their craft.

Cut to:

INT. STUDIO - DAY

Vijay and Chungha are in the studio recording a new single. They are working on a collaboration that is sure to be a hit. They share their thoughts and ideas, bringing their unique styles and perspectives to the song.

Vijay: (excited) This is going to be amazing!

Chungha: (smiling) I couldn't agree more.

As they continue to work, they also face challenges and obstacles. But with each other's support, they overcome these obstacles and create a masterpiece.

Cut to:

INT. AWARDS SHOW - DAY

Vijay and Chungha are on stage, accepting the award for Best Collaboration. They stand hand in hand, beaming with pride and joy.

Vijay: (looking at Chungha) I couldn't have done this without you.

Chungha: (smiling) And I couldn't have done this without you.

As they receive the award, the crowd cheers and applauds, recognizing their talent and hard work.

Fade to black.

THE END.

 

Then I decided to ask it for a sequel.

"Make a sequel to the above movie."

 

Title: The Superstar Legacy

Fade in:

INT. STUDIO - DAY

Vijay and Chungha are back in the studio, working on their second collaboration. They are both more confident and comfortable with each other, and their chemistry is palpable.

Vijay: (smiling) It's great to be back in the studio with you.

Chungha: (laughing) It's like we never left!

As they work, they realize that their new single is not just about their individual careers, but about their friendship and partnership. They decide to dedicate the song to their fans and the people who have supported them throughout their journey.

Cut to:

INT. CONCERT ARENA - DAY

Vijay and Chungha are performing their new single in front of a packed crowd. They sing with passion and energy, captivating the audience with their dynamic performance.

Chungha: (singing) This is for you, our fans! Thank you for always supporting us!

The crowd roars with excitement, and Vijay and Chungha take a bow, smiling with pride.

Cut to:

INT. LOUNGE - DAY

Vijay and Chungha are relaxing in the lounge, sipping on drinks and reflecting on their success.

Vijay: (smiling) This has been an incredible journey.

Chungha: (nodding) It really has. We've come a long way since that airport terminal.

As they chat, they realize that they have both grown as artists and as people. They talk about their future plans and aspirations, and how they plan to continue their legacy.

Cut to:

INT. RECORDING STUDIO - DAY

Vijay and Chungha are in the studio recording their next single. They are both focused and determined, and their passion for music shines through in their performance.

Chungha: (singing) We'll keep shining, keep climbing higher!

Vijay: (singing) Our legacy will live on, forever and ever!

The music builds to a crescendo, and the crowd erupts in applause.

Fade to black.

THE END.

 

In both seasons, the scripts somewhat revolve around who Chungha and Vijay really are. I wanted to see if this can get more emotional in the third season.

"Make another sequel, now both of them falling in love."

It attempted to work on this. But the first few lines, it failed with this error.
Errors! Love has broken ChatGPT


"Error in body stream"

"Something went wrong, please try reloading the conversation."

"Only one message at a time. Please allow any other responses to complete before sending another message, or wait one minute."



Let me retry the whole thing, a bit more specific.

"Make a movie script with Thalapathy Vijay and Chungha, falling in love with each other in Papua New Guinea."

It is better this time.


"INT. JUNGLE CAFE - DAY

Thalapathy Vijay and Chungha are sitting at a table, surrounded by the lush greenery of Papua New Guinea. They are sipping coffee and chatting, taking in the beauty of their surroundings.

VIJAY: This place is amazing. I can't believe I've never been to Papua New Guinea before.

CHUNGHA: Me neither. It's so peaceful here, away from the hustle and bustle of the city.

VIJAY: Exactly. And the coffee is amazing too.

They both laugh and take a sip of their drinks.

CUT TO:

INT. JUNGLE HIKE - DAY

Vijay and Chungha are hiking through the jungle, exploring the breathtaking landscapes of Papua New Guinea. They are walking hand in hand, taking in the sights and sounds around them.

VIJAY: I've always loved nature, but this place is something special.

CHUNGHA: I agree. It's so beautiful, and it's amazing to be here with you.

VIJAY: Same here. I feel like we're the only two people in the world right now.

CHUNGHA: Me too.

They reach a clearing in the jungle and sit down to take in the view. They gaze at each other, and their eyes meet.

CUT TO:

INT. JUNGLE CAFE - NIGHT

Vijay and Chungha are sitting at the same table, now lit by candlelight. They are eating dinner, talking and laughing together.

VIJAY: I can't believe how quickly the time has gone by. It feels like we've been here for weeks.

CHUNGHA: I know. It's been an amazing adventure, and I'm so glad we're experiencing it together.

VIJAY: Me too. I feel like I've known you for a lifetime.

CHUNGHA: I feel the same way.

They both smile, and their eyes meet once again. They lean in for a kiss, and the camera pulls back to show the stunning jungle around them as the music swells.

FADE TO BLACK."

 

Let me ask for a sequel again.

"Make a sequel where they both save an elephant from a crocodile attack and then share a kiss under a mango tree.

 

"INT. JUNGLE RIVERBANK - DAY

Thalapathy Vijay and Chungha are walking along a riverbank in Papua New Guinea when they hear a commotion in the water. They run over to see what's happening and find an elephant trapped in the jaws of a crocodile.

VIJAY: We have to do something! That elephant is in trouble!

CHUNGHA: Right! Let's work together to save it!

They both jump into the water, splashing and shouting to try to distract the crocodile. The elephant takes the opportunity to escape, and Vijay and Chungha help it to safety on the riverbank.

CUT TO:

INT. JUNGLE GROVE - DAY

Vijay and Chungha are sitting under a mango tree, panting and covered in mud from their rescue mission. The elephant is grazing nearby, and they are both smiling and laughing, relieved that the animal is safe.

VIJAY: That was intense! I can't believe we just saved an elephant from a crocodile attack!

CHUNGHA: I know! We make a pretty good team.

They both smile at each other, and their eyes meet. They lean in for a kiss, surrounded by the beauty of the Papua New Guinean jungle. The elephant trumpets in the background as the camera pulls back to show the stunning scenery around them.

FADE TO BLACK."

 

This was neat. But I felt the "Papua New Guinean jungle"sounds weird and robotic (yes, it is. duh!).


One more sequel.

 

"Make another sequel with both of them having a romantic time and flying back to India together."

 

"INT. JUNGLE CAFE - DAY

Thalapathy Vijay and Chungha are sitting at a table in the jungle cafe, sipping coffee and laughing together. They have spent several weeks exploring Papua New Guinea together, and they have grown even closer.

VIJAY: It's been an incredible adventure, but I think it's time to head back to India.

CHUNGHA: I agree. It will be nice to be back home, but I'm going to miss this place.

VIJAY: Me too. But we'll always have these memories to look back on.

They both smile, and their eyes meet. They hold hands across the table, feeling the love and connection between them.

CUT TO:

INT. AIRPLANE - DAY

Vijay and Chungha are sitting side by side on a flight back to India. They are holding hands and looking out the window, watching as the stunning landscapes of Papua New Guinea disappear into the distance.

CHUNGHA: I'm so glad we were able to share this experience together.

VIJAY: Me too. I feel like I've found a special connection with you that I've never had with anyone else.

CHUNGHA: I know what you mean. I feel the same way.

They both lean in for a kiss, and the camera pulls back to show the airplane flying through the clouds, symbolizing the beginning of a new adventure together.

FADE TO BLACK."

I also wish they stopped staying around the "Int. Jungle Cafe" during this last season. I did not ask anything jungle-specific this time (although they did save the elephant in the last season), and I am sure Papua New Guinea has more than jungles. But I cannot blame AI too much. It did a fantastic job for what I paid. It is interesting how far AI has come in creative aspects. Even if these are far from the end product, this could serve as the skeleton/stub or starting point of the writing.

As of now, this may already help with school essays. We need to see how the homework assignments of language classes will differentiate against AI-generated ones (I know there is already a tool from the same creators to identify AI-generated text).

 

The App holds the past and contextual information quite well, as I continued to make more sequels. It especially did exceptionally well when I made the couple to fly back to Papua New Guinea after several years.

 

I decided to try a few more times out of boredom.


Make a sequel where Chungha and Thalapathy Vijay have a baby together.

INT. HOSPITAL ROOM - DAY

Thalapathy Vijay and Chungha are sitting next to each other in a hospital room, holding hands and beaming with joy. A baby is lying in Chungha's arms, wrapped in a soft blanket.

VIJAY: We did it! We're parents!

CHUNGHA: I can't believe it! Our little bundle of joy is finally here.

Vijay leans in and kisses Chungha on the forehead, then reaches over to gently touch the baby's tiny hand.

CUT TO:

INT. HOME - DAY

Vijay and Chungha are sitting on the couch in their living room, watching as the baby crawls and totters around the room. They are both laughing and smiling, filled with happiness and love.

VIJAY: I never knew I could love someone so much.

CHUNGHA: Me neither. This little one is everything to us.

They both look at the baby, and then at each other, their eyes filled with love and devotion. The camera pulls back to show the happy family together, with the baby playing and the parents watching and smiling.

FADE TO BLACK.

Give a cute name to the baby in this next sequel

INT. HOME - DAY

Thalapathy Vijay and Chungha are sitting on the couch, cuddled up with their baby, who they have named "Aarav."

VIJAY: Aarav, you're going to be the light of our lives.

CHUNGHA: I already love him so much. I can't wait to see all the amazing things he's going to do.

They both kiss Aarav on the forehead, and the camera pulls back to show the happy family together.

FADE TO BLACK.

Make a romantic sequel where now Chungha and Vijay have grown older together and they are flying to Papua New Guinea again, to meet their son Aarav there.

INT. AIRPLANE - DAY

Thalapathy Vijay and Chungha are sitting next to each other on an airplane, flying to Papua New Guinea. They are holding hands, smiling, and looking out the window, reminiscing about their first trip together.

VIJAY: Can you believe it's been so many years since we first came to Papua New Guinea?

CHUNGHA: I know! It feels like just yesterday that we were falling in love and saving that elephant from the crocodile attack.

VIJAY: And now, we're going to meet our son here. I can't wait to show him the place where we first fell in love.

CHUNGHA: Me too. It's going to be so special.

They both smile at each other, and the camera pulls in for a close-up of their hands, still clasped together after all these years.

CUT TO:

INT. JUNGLE CAFE - DAY

Vijay and Chungha are sitting at a table in the jungle cafe, waiting for their son Aarav to arrive. They are both beaming with excitement and joy.

AARAV: (entering the cafe) Mom! Dad!

Vijay and Chungha both stand up and embrace Aarav, hugging him tight.

VIJAY: It's so good to see you, son!

CHUNGHA: We're so proud of you!

AARAV: Thanks, Mom and Dad. It's great to see you both too.

The three of them sit down at the table, laughing and talking as the camera pulls back to show the happy family together.

FADE TO BLACK.
