Someone really needs to try this out. Seriously.

Just not me!

Once upon a time, people were amused by this:

Kraftwerk - The Robots (1978)

And now, for example, it just scares me.

Now I understand why the products of the so-called "speech writers" are verbal diarrhea.

They obviously resort to the services of AI .

I subscribe to a free computer security letter put out by Bruce Schneier who is one of the top level experts on cryptography and computer security, mostly summarizing and giving links to the various security bugs, exploits etc. in the online world...

In his latest issue, he posted the result of a test he did on one of the AI engines where he told it to "write an essay on AI in the style of Bruce Schneier" - It did a pretty good job, I might have bought it as his.... His own comment was that it wasn't at the point he could retire, but he might be able to go on vacation for a few days... Scary for sure....

And totally not scary. AI at this stage doesn't know when to stop, and if it lacks details, it confabulates 'believable bullshit'. (coworkers tried asking it questions for IT job interview. Results were "believable on the surface, confident and wrong"). Worse - there is no indication - when it was writing something true and checked and when it was total fiction.

So - if you need precision and not fiction - all what was generated needs to be human-reviewed. And as it was not human who generated it - it will/may require more time.

IMO, this will fill up internet with more advertisements and stuff, indistinguishable from some sane text at first glance and it will make finding something specific even harder than it is now.

At least before Artificial Idiot - you'd need to pay humans. Now you can do it essentially for free.

To quote another one:

- Hey, John, come back to us, we need a programmer!

- But you have monkey with GPT-3 AI.

- Monkey with GPT-3 AI is now a team lead manager. We need programmer again.

ChatGPT is one of the newest, and supposedly most powerful, AI text writers. Theoretically it can write poetry as well as essays.

William McGonagall is reputed to be the worst published poet in the history of the English language. David Hugh-Jones chose some of McGonagall’s poems and used their topics as prompts for ChatGPT. On his web site, you can read the prompt given to the computer and both McGonagall’s original poem (with the themes very clear in the poem) and the AI version of a poem on the same themes. Can you tell which is which???

They're both so bad it's hard to tell.

It's ok, we're safe until it can interpret the difference between what product is saying and what they mean.

I'm not an expert, so I can only speak my personal opinion.

If I have empathy for the author, then I am interested in his statements, stories, and so on.

For example, from LT I am ready to listen to anything, even something with which I do not agree, since it is interesting to me .

But even the most intelligent things spoken by AI will seem unspeakably boring to me...
