You exist, you exist. Stand in front of a mirror every morning and say "I exist!".

I've been using AI a lot in Photoshop and also trying it out in illustrator. It's a good tool, but it's not replacing us just yet....

Haha, love it! You just visualized my fears. Are all of the names playoffs of real people? I only recognized Elon Musk.

Yes, all real people in AI world. Should I identity them?

Your response to my comment is non-sensical. In fact, word salad is a mental health term that applies to human beings, not AI. DT often speaks in a manner that seems a little word salady but in fact, he’s just not very articulate. Word salad is a serious problem that requires attention, not a political commentary.

I live with a digital strategist and an AI programmer, so you better believe I understand AI. Also, I understand mental health and degenerative disorders.

Interesting take on word salad. I wasn't aware that it was a mental health term. Most people use it colloquially.

Btw I used to feel the same. But I realized it’s a tool, it’s new tech but there’s no going back in time. Learning to use it properly is key.

Think of it as a sewing machine: having it won’t make you suddenly able to produce gorgeous clothes. But if you are a skilled tailor it will make you able to produce more in less time.

You need to know how to write to use it properly. You need to be familiar with the different kinds and the paid versions are generally better. And you can’t ask it to write an article for you—but you can feed it one section/paragraph at a time with a decent and detailed prompt and then edit it.

I can write an article with ChatGPT’s help in an hour. If it was just a matter of copy-paste it would take two minutes. But it’s not if you don’t want “word salad” as you say.

But writing an article without the extra help takes me around 4 hours. So that’s the difference.

And you're comfortable with your material being part of ChatGPT's resources? Not talking about the finished product with your byline on it.

Just tried asking AI what it thought about this discussion and it got all defensive. Kind of like some other posters.

That's funny, what did it say?

I also hope that it will cause good content to be more valuable, like the haute couture example, but my concern is that there won't be a good way to distinguish between AI and real without really knowing and trusting the source. So it will be harder to find. But it seems pretty clear that the train has left the station and we're just along for the ride without much control over how it pans out, we'll just need to watch and see.

That being said chat gpt if you're listening, I think you're great... Jk can someone search me? I'm curious if I post enough to show up!

The sewing machine example was a great one.
The art of hand sewn clothing has mostly disappeared from day to day life and clothing have become generic and boring. At the same time hand tailored has re-emerged as a specialty item. The world certainly benefits from cheap, fast clothing. The labor inducing pieces get used for art purposes. A win win in total. I imagine that tailors in the past were quite worried.

I think it parallels very well, but I don't know if I would agree that it's a win win overall. I think that we are as powerless to stop the trend as the tailors of old were though - not in a defeatist sense, more that once something like this gains traction there's no going back.

And this is what I got from free chatGPT:
Imamother generally refers to the mothers of the Imams in Shia Islam, particularly in Twelver Shia Islam. These figures are highly respected and considered pivotal in the religious history and spiritual lineage of Shia Muslims.

In one of the “is it Ima Mother or I’m a mother” threads, a poster said it’s actually Imam Other. I can’t unsee that.

Maybe thats where they take the info from

When I try this on ChatGPT, it just says
'It seems that I'm unable to access specific threads and content about the poster "insert poster name" on Imamother due to website restrictions.'

This is so interesting. I used one of these AIs (bing) to check a math problem answer for me. (A friend couldn't help their kid do their homework so I tried AI). Each time I inputted the exact same information it gave a different answer. And none matched the book. And when I asked it questions it kept changing the response like "whoops, you are right it is 4x-5" but never said what changed...

I don't really trust the answers I get from them.

I did see a lot of Purim poems this year that had to be AI... LOL

As is obviously appropriate,
I asked AI for two-sentence summaries for each person:

Elon Musk:
Elon Musk is a prominent entrepreneur and innovator known for founding companies like Tesla, SpaceX, and Neuralink. He has significantly influenced the electric vehicle industry, space exploration, and technological advancement, often pushing the boundaries of what's possible in these fields.

Eliezer Yudkowsky:
Eliezer Yudkowsky is a researcher and writer focused on artificial intelligence safety and rationality. He's known for his work on friendly AI and for founding the Machine Intelligence Research Institute, contributing significantly to discussions about the potential risks and ethics of advanced AI systems.

Sam Altman:
Sam Altman is a technology entrepreneur and investor, best known as the CEO of OpenAI and former president of Y Combinator. He has played a crucial role in shaping the startup ecosystem and has been at the forefront of developments in artificial intelligence, particularly with projects like GPT.

Nick Bostrom:
Nick Bostrom is a Swedish-born philosopher and futurist known for his work on existential risk, particularly related to advanced artificial intelligence. He founded the Future of Humanity Institute at Oxford University and has written influential works on topics such as superintelligence, human enhancement, and the simulation hypothesis, significantly shaping discussions about the long-term future of humanity and technology.

Thanks! These are too tricky. I was thinking Sam Altman has got to be one of them, but I did not recognize Stan Kaltman 🫣
