Artificial intelligence will transform human civilization, and bring with it profound dangers as it is militarized and weapons systems can think, react and kill. We live in an age in which machines and technology will be embedded within human beings that can give paralyzed people the ability to control movement with thoughts. The ability to manipulate the genetic code of human beings and manufacture new organs will transform medicine and pose profound ethical challenges.
The ChatGPT AI Chatbot is a startling new technology that will take its place next to the Blackberry, iPod, iPad, iPhone, VR head sets, AOL, Google — or if you are old enough, television. It provokes a mind-blowing “wow” and illuminates the beginning of a new future.
In case you need a primer on this technology — which I’ve become obsessed with of late, despite being so not tech-savvy — here’s a good summary of the technology, its strengths…and its pitfalls.
I was trying to figure out what to write about for tomorrow, and was thinking about this astounding clip of Kellyanne Conway denouncing Washington, DC, narcissism:
It’s crazy, but boring. I just couldn’t get excited enough to write about it.
I was hanging out with my pal Norman, who is great, but not much of a conversationalist. Unfortunately, he didn’t provide any writing inspiration either.
So, I decided to hit up the ChatBot. Things got interesting…
I didn’t want to talk about Kellyanne anymore, and I was starting to get hungry. Norman is a bit like a mini horse, and that got me thinking about a memory from when I went to the Eagle Festival in Mongolia.
The future may be arriving, but I think it’s best that it remain one where human beings take the lead. The Chatbot is great, but like all of us, it’s clearly a work in progress.
Interesting that the bot had no qualms about calling Kellyanne a liar but wouldn’t render an opinion on the corruption of the Trumps. That feels like a deliberate programming issue. 🤔
Having read this I’m convinced that Kellyanne is an AI bot. Alternative intelligence!
