Every once in a while, I'll ask it something random to see how intuitive it is. Today here's what happened.

I asked it to tell me a joke about hemorrhoids in the style of Rodney Dangerfield, I got this.

"Hey, I tell ya, I got hemorrhoids that are like VIPs - they get all the attention and refuse to leave! I try to ignore 'em, but they're like a heckler at my comedy show, always making their presence known. They're like my annoying relatives, overstaying their welcome! I've tried every cream, ointment, and remedy known to man, but these hemorrhoids are like the gift that keeps on giving, and they ain't giving me nothin' but pain in the you-know-where. No respect, I tell ya, no respect!".

I've also told them to set the scene for "Woody Allen goes to a shrink about his anxiety", "Paul Lynde and Charles Nelson Reilly go to the Bunny Ranch" and "Andy Rooney visits a headshop". All scenes were set with shocking accuracy and humor.

@Saxondawg I'll bet you can ask it something quirky and specific. I'd be interested to see what you could ask it.

AI is very interesting, I've noticed that AI (along with Machine Learning) Technology has definitely Widened and gone Deeper with seamless Human Interactive Responses at depths that we couldn't have imagined just a few years ago.

I know it's been a subject in Sci Fi forever, but Elon is actually very worried about the existential threat of its presence now.

The pace right now is what excites me. The advances OpenAI have done with GPT from 3-4 are unreal. All of this is in its infancy. Computer Science itself is less than 100 years old.
 
My boss asked SIRI one time a couple years ago what siri stood for and it replied that it didn't think he would understand the answer. He turned red as a UGA home jersey. There were about 10 of us in the room.
 
It is amazing what it can do but it's also not a good thing overall. A lot of people are going to lose their jobs in the future b/c of all these AI capabilities.

I know I'll get the condescending replies that "those people will just have to adapt" or "they'll have to go get a different job" etc. but people losing jobs is never a good thing.
 
I haven't asked it anything quirky but I've held some conversations with it. It actually got some history badly wrong when I asked it a question. I told it so, and it politely apologized and said yes, it had gotten confused on some points. When I asked it the same a couple days later, it had made corrections but some of the garble was still there. Also it knows about NEITHER of our B2B trophies because its last info dump was earlier in 2021.

Did you inform it that GT didn't win a Natty in 1990 ..... Colorado did and Jasper Sanks did not fumble.
 
Does it help with Tinder? Asking for a friend.
This is actually one of the scarier aspects of it. It will help and your date will be AI. It will say and do things you want it to.

The next 10-15 years of technology evolution could be the wildest most of us have ever dreamed we would see.

It has written the last 20 scripts for my job’s social media posts. It wrote a complete practice plan for basketball, volleyball, football, etc with relative ease.

Between this and the Virtual Reality assault issues, going to be fun to see how we manage it.

It's a valid concern for sure. I will say that a lot of people have had to change careers throughout the years with advances in automation and technology. A lot of computers and robots are doing jobs that humans once did and it's still tough to find reliable people to work. I am hoping this will be similar because I think this is eventually going to be a big change for a lot of people.

I was interviewing a guy who is the CEO of an AI-assisted tech platform startup and he used to be a higher-up at Microsoft... for fun he built a set-contained AI that was supposed to monitor all of his own behaviors and then be able to offer advice based on his lifestyle parameters he set. So basically it integrated bio-feedback and was designed to be like "hey don't drink alcohol today, instead get an extra workout in", or "you haven't had fried food in a week, so you can have a cheat meal", etc.

He gave the system complete access to all of his devices in order to provide this feedback in real time, and one day was out at lunch with a colleague, looked at his phone, and the AI he had built had responded to his girlfriend's texts as if it was him... just using the predictive model. The correspondence had emojis and everything. He was like like "whoa, we are absolutely IN the future right now and it's terrifying". And he's the one who controlled this AI's entire operating protocol.

History and the politics connected to history are going to get some fuzzy answers. I think that's baked into it.

Use it every day. Future is both exciting and scary with it. This isn’t the advent of the invention of the combustion engine though… it’s a significant change in human history and it’ll be disastrous at some point. And I’m not a conspiracy guy

I very much agree with the threat (and potential) of AI. But I’m skeptical about whether Elon’s concern is genuine. He’s out fundraising for his own competitor to OpenAI and probably would have gotten in sooner had he not bought Twitter. His urging a pause to sort through ethics is more him wish casting so he can have time to develop a platform and present himself as the ethical AI maestro.
 
AI is coming. A few things you can expect:

Negatives
Huge negative impact on low-level white collar jobs
Will be exploited to create false news, false news stories, and deep fakes.
Deep fakes could impact voting swings etc.
Deep fakes will result in nonconsensual abuses of nudes/fake porn. I fear for our daughters.
Dangerous hacking and financial exploitation.
Will be exploited by authoritarian governments to limit freedoms and spy on their populations.

Positives
Rapid scientific and medical advances
Create new jobs that do not currently exist
Transform the way we learn, communicate, and work.
Create more leisure time.
Create collaboration opportunities across spectrums of the workforce.

Challenges
Can we avoid injecting politics into this and apply common sense regulation and controls?
Can our nation protect us from bad state actors who wish to deploy this technology against us?
 
Let me preface this with, I’m just a simple dude from small town GA and not super intelligent. So please spare me any condescending “you just don’t understand it” posts, because you’re right, I don’t. Even as a millennial, I tend to buck technology. Having said all this, I don’t like this AI shit one bit

Yeah, but this was factual stuff. So and so was pastor of that church, and so and so was never pastor. It got some other church looped in there. A church's history is more on the fringe of things, which is why I tested it that way.

Same.


Also, I had no idea you're a millennial.

The pros don’t seem nearly ‘pro’ enough to outweigh the risk.

Lol man I’m not sure a dude who turned a $44b business into about a $40m one in less than a year is who I’m going listen to very much
I knew it would be a contentious name to drop, but he isn't the only one who feels this way. And yes, he has skin in the game. But whether or not he's being truthful, doesn't mean he isn't more keen on this stuff than almost all the public, albeit, his stance almost certainly jibes with his interests. But I don't think he's necessarily lying about the problems.

But let's not let political leanings obscure the fact that there are obvious perils. Plagiarism, incriminating the innocent... on top of pasturizing the ability of people to flesh out ideas on their own, or write them.

It’s just a contentious name to drop because he’s a charlatan. There’s credible names to drop who aren’t charlatans.

I'm not convinced he's a charlatan. I feel like that's the easiest shot to take if you don't agree with him. I'm not even saying I agree with him for the most part. But it's not like he doesn't have a lot to lose by being outspoken in his worldview... especially when doing that is a zero sum game. But I digress.

I admit that I went for the most obvious name/cheap pop... but I didn't feeli g digging up some Niedermayer nobody has ever heard of.

Regarding Elon, I will say this. I don't think he likes adopting the POV he's taken (not unlike Johnny Lydon, Nick Cave, Russell Brand and to a lesser extent, Bill Maher, Jon Stewart and Tim Robbins) but the insanity of the world has pushed the overton away from their natural setting... I don't beleive they've changed that much, personally.

You know you bring up some excellent points and as Technology has become more pervasive in our everyday lives we're constantly Adapting. Think about all the IP Laws that have been created, because of Technology. Gonna be very interesting over the next 24 to 36 months.

BTW, Smart Cities are on the Rise as well.

It’s an easy shot to take because he is. You keep seeming to think I’m taking a personal or political shot. I’m not. I’m saying he’s a dude who was born into a fortune who has convinced people he’s a tech or business genius when he just simply is not when you look at what he’s done to twitter and the exploding cars

Very seriously would like an unbiased (AI or Pro) explanation on why & how SBIV performed so poorly on the interview portion of his NFL assessment process, that it single handedly knocked him completely out of draft (rounds 1-7 at least) consideration. Possible meltdown or breakdown? Surely someone in his camp cared enough & was capable enough to provide or insist on better guidance for his best interests.

Very odd sequence of events over the past 30 months of his life…

Well, that would be peak Elon, so I agree 100%. I liked him until he started opening his mouth about everything all the time.

No doubt he's said and done some idiotic things that have cost him and/or his companies (and shareholders) hundreds of millions of dollars. But you can't look at the trajectory of his business career and call him a charlatan from either a business or tech standpoint. He's freakishly intelligent, works harder than 99.99 percent of people on Earth, and is full-blown riverboat gambler with what he earns. Whatever wealth his family had in his childhood is miniscule compared to the $200ish billion he's worth now.

I agree there. If he started on third base, he's circled the bases again about a thousand times.

I'm starting to come across as an Elon fan, but I promise I'm more ambivalent. It's also early in the game for Twiitter for him. The billions lost were out of the gate (he's since laid off enough employees to almost keep the company solvent), because he took a strong stance on free speech from the outset (and the speech on Twitter wasn't very free, and he bet on a sector of the public that feels that way). I think it's way too early to call the venture a failure. Taking that stance was defintiely going to piss off some people with deep pockets. He knew that from the outset.
