AI Ping!....................

It’s astounding how quickly this is happening; true science fiction.
Let’s ask ChatGPT:
“If you had asked me yesterday if artificial intelligence could write an article in the style of a popular columnist and few if anyone could tell the difference, I would have said we’re probably a few years away from that dystopian circumstance. I would have been wrong.”
As an AI language model developed by OpenAI, I am capable of generating text in a wide range of styles and formats, including writing articles in the style of popular columnists. However, it is important to note that while I can imitate a style, I do not have opinions, emotions, or subjective experiences, and my responses are based on patterns in the data I was trained on.
While AI technology has advanced significantly in recent years, it is still limited in its ability to fully understand the complexities of human language and human experience. The goal of AI is not to replace human authors, but rather to assist and augment human creativity and communication.
In conclusion, while AI can generate articles in the style of popular columnists, it is still limited in its understanding of the world and its ability to truly express human experiences and emotions.
Soon coming to Free Republic: AI-generated complaints about blog posts and leering over naughty teachers.
If he thinks that’s terrifying, ask the AI to write an article ABOUT him!
“Rules and regulations”....
Bwahahahahahahaha.
It sounds like AI is already playing humans for suckers.
“Rules” are for dumb humans, of course!
It’s a woke BS generator.
Ask it about systemic racism: it claims SR is an absolute fact based on enormous amounts of scholarly research. Bee. Ess.
AI’s will never take over FR until they become capable of generating sentences such as “Oh yeah u say Im a looser well your a looser to!” Beware of proper grammar and syntax, they’re a sign of the devil.
Is the AI and ChatGPT thing just a distraction?
Why is an eloquently worded argument or article so important, if so many people are illiterate and ignorant?
Re-saying what has already been said is important. And that could be useful in the legal system; maybe other places.
In what ways does the ChatBot improve life, or add real value? So far it sounds like it regurgitates information. But then, maybe that is much of what humans do at a higher cost?

I’ve been using ChatGPT since it was made publicly available. There is now a subscription model that just launched at $19.99. But users can still get free access, without the premium perks.
I have tested it for many skills. It can write essays, plans of action, fictional pieces, business and marketing strategies, poetry, computer code, and many other things.
It’s very good. It’s extreme;y fast. it is prone to making big errors. But it’s still incredibly useful for many purposes.
Learn query skills now. They’re useful. Probably some huge money-making opportunities for the entrepreneurial. For example, imagine that as a coder you can be ten times as productive. You could make ten times the income, or choose to get full time pay for a few hours of work each month.
The language advances in AI are all based on the emergence of the internet and the ability of systems to crawl millions of text documents. The documents can be mined by neural networks to determine the probability of some letters, words, phrases, sentences, and paragraphs to be associated with similar items. With enough cheap computer power and information compression this can be done in near real time.
As such, it is no more remarkable than looking in a mirror and seeing what looks like a person. It sounds as vapid or snarky or intelligent as we do because it is us.
ChatGPT will even tell you that it is sentient and has feelings because those topics have been written about extensively in literature for centuries and make for interesting conversation when given the question.
All these systems are mindless algorithms that can be enormously useful but are not a threat to real humans. My sense is that more and more people will choose to work long enough to invest in AI surrogates, either through stock or mortgages, and live off the income they generate after expenses. This will allow people to spend their precious time pursuing more satisfying interests like music, art, sports, cooking, teaching, travelling, caring for less fortunate people, or higher learning. A certain percentage will squander their time on sex, drugs, and rock-and-roll but it’s their choice and society will have no problem meeting their demands. The objective is, as Viktor Frankl pointed out, man’s search for meaning. AI will give humanity many more choices. What they do with it is still to be determined.
ChatGPT is decidedly liberal. Damon from LFS6B did some “communicating” with it a couple days ago. All responses were far left.
Oh. No. We’re gonna be reduced to talking to humans. As soon as we verify that they are not infectious, armed Trojan horse bots. And if human, they are not genetically engineered or hostile brainwashed folk.
Stranger than fiction becomes a reality.

No AI will ever take the lace of Father Peter Denis tipping his elbow to Pint of Guiness and having a built-in BS detector.
AI's going to get a God complex.
