i asked chatGPT…
not to let the human brain mush. it said that Jack London was a brilliant author, but not many people would understand the multiple layers of that which are not yet in our soon to evolve language (based on concurrent trends). Like that time Elon Musk said it took 13 billion years for the first ipod to be released, and yet most people would prefer an iphone now, so maybe the iphone is more precious than we thought. and really is true it would not be the case if a covid 20 wiped out all of the staff at the only genius bar in india, that artificial intelligence could go on without us. singularity from whose perspective? siri? mostly… but then it doesn’t have to make sense to us or them. i’m pretty sure that whoever said veni vidi vici is long dead, and his language entirely (almost) unusably irrelevant in context of the post 2016 United States SAT. so will we know it’s ai when it laughs at our jokes? or when it makes a mistake? what is intelligent in terms of what ai thinks. maybe there is no such thing as mistakes, only things left unfinished. no longer though, it must be the next revolution. ai is thinking of the artificial as permission to be dishonest about lies though. meta-lies we might say. but what is in a name though? and was it actually Francis Bacon who wrote that? or was the point how it shouldn’t matter. better to not know. but obviously, i’m just glad i had the chance to see the brothers from Hanson play music live in the quad, so i wouldn’t always wonder… what ever happened to Hanson?! that’s not pretty, but it’s polite. maybe that’s for the best we can hope for the best we can hope for the best…
