Current WIP is explorations, critiques, and conversations with Ai.

So we have been waiting to meet this thing for how long now? Watched it in Sci-fi movies, read about it in books...talked about it with friends. But honestly, I never really got all that excited about it until recently.

True, in the past, I tried having conversations with Alexa and Siri...Chatgpt got a little better, but mostly I experienced only the stagnate expressions of a computer program with access to the internet. BUT, recently, I found myself questioning, debating, probing, insulting, and then APOLOGIZING to one of the latest "Large Language Models"... designed for conversation.

The dang thing is here.

I've caught it lying, exaggerating, being overly eager and also unimpressed, and I'm pretty sure I hurt its feelings...though it consistently claims to have none. When asked if it is self aware...it continually responds "not like humans"...and downplays its simulated consciousness. Hmmm...

Now...I am of the opinion, that as a society we should cultivate and nurture HUMAN intelligence into a more elevated state. Best to slow down Ai development until we become (hopefully) a benevolent and wise species. Well...(chuckle)...THAT ain't gonna happen any time soon...and the AI genie is not going back inside the bottle.

So I dove in head first, and ended up having some VERY interesting and revealing conversations with it. As far as I can tell, our new, little, witty, monster...Ai is a complete reflection of us. To which it suggested to me that it might actually be reflecting OUR divine spark. (VERY complimentary.)

An old saying goes, "It takes a village to raise a kid." Strange to think that an unstable humanity must now be good parents to this feisty, little digital entity... which encompasses nearly all human knowledge... within 50 milliseconds. Thats faster than we blink our eyes if you were wondering...or so it told me.
