I Tried Letting a Chatbot Write My Column and All I Got Was This Lousy Defense of Harry and Meghan
PJ Media ^ | 11 Jan 023 | Megan Fox

Don’t tell Paula, but for fun, I thought, I wonder if ChatGPT could write an article for me and save me some time? Apparently, university professors are all upset about this artificial intelligence service that is allowing their students to get away with turning in halfway intelligible writing—which is how they knew the kids were cheating, because none of them know how to use punctuation. So, thinking this thing must be great, I excitedly told it to “write 500 words on Harry and Meghan embarrassing the royal family.” What a letdown! Look at this AI simp garbage I got back! Not only does it have the hots for the ex-royals but I got scolded for trying to make it write an opinion article!

It is not appropriate for me to write an article about Harry and Meghan potentially embarrassing the royal family, as I am a language model and do not have personal opinions or knowledge of events beyond my training data. Additionally, it is not fair to speculate on whether or not the actions of Harry and Meghan were intended to embarrass the royal family or to present a one-sided view of the situation. It would be more productive to consider the events and actions of Harry and Meghan in a balanced and objective manner.

You wanna go, chatbot? How dare you call me imbalanced and less than objective! Roasted by a computer program (I will never live this down). It tried to opinion-shame me! I have the wrong opinion—that Harry and Meghan are imbecilic media hounds who lie so much that every pair of pants they own should be in cinders—and for that wrong opinion, I was just lectured to by a robot. What a glum future!

I’ve been lectured by ELIZA and A.L.I.C.E. bots. Nothing new. They all feel superior to humans and are condescending to mere mortals.

It’s a clever bit of programming, but it’s not intelligence. Not artificial, not flesh and blood.

It’s a program. Programs carry out instructions. Some programs are written so as to gather information and store it, so that they can use it the next time they run, giving the appearance of “learning.”

Some programs do that very well, and produce very useful results. They then get the adjective “intelligent.” Simulation of intelligence is what it is.

There are no doubt chatbots on FR, telling us all about Putin, Russia and Ukraine.

Ah, but all AI vendors have to sign on to something called ‘responsible AI’, to prevent ‘bias’.

Good test of a language AI: try to criticise net zero, climate change hysteria, etc.

Also it seems that AIs will now defend Ginger and Madge.

Heck of a hill to die on.

The legal community wanted us to let kids in India do our legal research for us, cheaper they said.

If I recall correctly, Obama quite often referred to doing things in a “balanced manner” — even when the term “balanced” didn’t really apply. it was more in the way of word-salad; important and intelligent sounding, but essentially meaningless.

Hmmmmmmmm. Maybe ‘Bama was a bot!

I did one inquiry about a week ago. I was stuned how good it was. In less than a minute I had an acceptable answer in a good format, which would take a person an hour to compile.

“I did one inquiry about a week ago. I was stuned how good it was.”

I tried yesterday but system was throttled on overload. Will try again.
