Sobering and compelling essay--unless, of course, Chatbot had been directed to compose an essay casting doubt on the accuracy of empirical assertions by Chatbot, so that our revered blogger could settle back, entrust all future essay composition to the sociopathic mind and incorporeal hand of Chatbot, while evading authorship suspicion on the grounds that 'Hey, he warned us about Chatbot veracity--he would never use it himself.' BTW, this note was not composed by Chatbot. It was composed by Felicity van Crevalt-Pflessenheim, DPhil, Oxon. Honest.

I'd like to suggest that the future of AI will be multiple Agents - a Doctor will use their expertise to select the Agent that fits best with the current diagnosis. The Agent will be like the tests Doctors use to confirm a diagnosis - which many times are overkill.

Asking the Congress to regulate AI is like asking them to set tolerances for a blacksmith.

Trust is the key element of any relationship. ChatGPT is the belle of the ball right now. But what happens as the fickle public learns it can't be trusted?

I've been using ChatGPT to write some first drafts, I'm beginning to notice that it is regurgitated pablum. It sounds good, but real detail is lacking.

I listened to some of the Gatsby. Something is lacking. I had a MIDI program years ago - it had a "Humanize" function - which introduced random slight errors to make the music sound like a human was playing it.
