A new artificial intelligence chatbot called ChatGPT is answering questions and taking instructions from users in a conversational, human-like way.

Chat bots like GPT are powered by large amounts of data and computing techniques to make predictions about stringing words together in a meaningful way. They not only tap into a vast amount of vocabulary and information but also understand words in context. This helps them mimic speech patterns while dispatching encyclopedic knowledge. 

ChatGPT is a state-of-the-art natural language processing (NLP) model developed by OpenAI. It is based on the GPT (Generative Pre-trained Transformer) architecture and is trained on a massive amount of text data to generate human-like text. This allows the model to understand and respond to a wide range of natural language inputs, making it a powerful tool for tasks such as language translation, text summarization, and conversation.

One of the key features of ChatGPT is its ability to generate text that is not only grammatically correct but also semantically meaningful. This is accomplished through the use of unsupervised learning, where the model is trained on a large dataset of text without any explicit labels or annotations. This allows the model to learn the underlying structure and patterns of language, enabling it to generate text that is both coherent and contextually appropriate.

Another unique aspect of ChatGPT is its ability to generate text that is highly varied and engaging. It can generate text in a wide range of styles, from formal and academic to casual and conversational. This makes it a valuable tool for a wide range of applications, such as chatbots, virtual assistants, and content generation.

One of the most popular applications of ChatGPT is in the field of conversational AI, where it can be used to build chatbots that can understand and respond to user inputs in a natural and human-like way. This can be useful in a variety of settings, such as customer service, e-commerce, and entertainment.

Overall, ChatGPT is a powerful NLP model that has the ability to understand and generate natural language text in a human-like way. Its unsupervised learning approach and ability to generate highly varied and engaging text make it a valuable tool for a wide range of applications, particularly in the field of conversational AI

I decided to test ChatGPT out and asked it to write a ‘review’ of my website. Here is the result:

usradioguy.com: Your guide to receiving satellite imagery

In today’s world, satellite imagery plays a crucial role in various fields such as meteorology, land use planning, and environmental monitoring. The ability to receive and process these images is important for individuals and organizations that rely on this information. This is where “usradioguy.com” comes in.

usradioguy.com is a website that provides comprehensive information and resources for those interested in receiving and processing satellite imagery. The site’s main focus is on the Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite (GOES) system, which is operated by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and NASA. The website offers detailed information about the different types of GOES satellites, the frequencies and modulation used to transmit the imagery, and the equipment needed to receive and decode the images.

One of the website’s strengths is its step-by-step guides on how to set up a reception system for GOES imagery. The site covers everything from selecting the right antenna and receiver to configuring software and decoding the images. The website also includes a section on troubleshooting and tips to help users optimize their reception system.

The website also offers a section on high-resolution imagery and its many uses. The section provides information about the different types of high-resolution imagery and the sensors used to capture them. It also provides information on how to use high-resolution imagery for mapping, land use planning, meteorology, agriculture, and entertainment.

In addition to providing information on satellite imagery reception and processing, “usradioguy.com” also includes a blog where the site’s owner, a radio enthusiast, shares his experiences and knowledge on different aspects of radio communication.

In short, “usradioguy.com” is a valuable resource for anyone interested in receiving and processing satellite imagery, particularly from the GOES system. The website’s clear and comprehensive information, step-by-step guides, and troubleshooting tips make it a valuable resource for both beginners and experienced users.

Not too shabby…


In the area of code writing, it did create some working batch files using ImageMagick and FFmpeg when I asked it too. It was also able to decipher all sorts of image-creation codes. here is a short code I have using Sanchez. I simple input:

./Sanchez -s "c:\images\GOES16\**\GOES16_FD_FC_20201004T000018Z.jpg" -o GOES16Output.jpg"

And ChatGPT output:

This appears to be a command that is using the program “Sanchez” and specifying some command line arguments.

  • The -s flag is likely specifying the source file or folder, in this case it looks like it’s searching for all files ending with “GOES16_FD_FC_20201004T000018Z.jpg” in the folder “c:\images\GOES16” and all subfolders.
  • The -o flag is likely specifying the output file, in this case “GOES16Output.jpg”. It looks like this command is being used to process image files from the GOES-16 satellite, but without more context it’s hard to say for certain.

Then I asked the chatGPT to: “Explain software defined radio and its application to receiving satellite imagery.” This is the result:

Software-defined radio (SDR) is a type of radio communication system in which the functionality that is typically implemented in hardware (e.g. mixers, filters, amplifiers, modulators/demodulators, detectors, etc.) is instead implemented using software on a personal computer or embedded system. This allows for flexibility and reconfigurability in the design of radio systems, as well as the ability to easily upgrade or change the system’s capabilities.

One application of SDR is in receiving satellite imagery. SDR can be used to receive and process the signals from satellites that transmit images, such as weather satellites or earth observation satellites. The SDR software can be configured to demodulate and decode the signal, allowing the user to view and analyze the satellite imagery.

HRIT (High Resolution Image Transmission) imagery refers to high-resolution images of the Earth that are transmitted by geostationary weather satellites. These images are typically used for meteorological and weather forecasting purposes, as they provide detailed information on cloud cover, precipitation, and other weather patterns.

HRIT imagery is typically transmitted in a format called HRIT/LRIT (Low Resolution Image Transmission) which is a standard format defined by the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) and the European Organisation for the Exploitation of Meteorological Satellites (EUMETSAT). The images are transmitted in a variety of resolutions, from 1 km to 3 km, and can be used to create detailed weather maps and forecasts.

HRIT imagery can be received and processed using a software-defined radio (SDR) and the appropriate software, such as the open source software goestools. This software can be used to decode the HRIT signal and create images that can be analyzed and used for weather forecasting and meteorological research.

In addition to meteorological forecasting, the HRIT imagery can also be used for other purposes such as monitoring natural disasters, pollution and environmental impacts, and land-use changes.

usradioguy.com is a website that provides information and resources on software-defined radio, including tutorials and guides on using SDR to receive and decode satellite imagery. The website also provides information on different SDR hardware and software options, as well as tips and tricks for getting the most out of your SDR setup. The website serves as a guide for hobbyists, researchers, and professionals in the field of SDR.

Now, of course, we are just scratching the surface of AI, but the potential for this technology is promising unless, of course, it takes over the earth like Skynet did….


As a side note, the images used on this post were also entirely created with AI using DALL-E

The request for this was a “field of flowers with a satellite dish in the distance and golden retrievers in the foreground Manet painting”
