DeValuing The Myth of Anything Super

Super.

It used to mean bigger, better, bolder, somehow special. At least when it referred to humans, as in superheroes.

Now that we’re busy replacing humans with Artificial Intelligence, the rush to brand AI innovations as somehow superior or “super” is doing more to devalue the concept of anything “super” since the comic books and their movie spinoffs started examining all the collateral damage their superheroes caused in their efforts to save worlds, galaxies, universes and multi-verses.

Long time proofreading service Grammarly acquired the AI-native email app Superhuman this past summer and has now announced a sort of unusually reversed rebranding that rolls out these bundled services under the subsumed Superhuman brand.

You have to laugh at the decidedly and very human super-ego sized slug line that claim the new effort gives you “the power to be more human.”

The newly christened Superhuman certainly isn’t alone as Artificial Intelligence purveyors have been defining pursuing super intelligence as their goal for quite some time, which has always had an ironic appeal, even if chatbots and the like don’t understand irony.

In my opinion the entire thing is all very silly, far too easily unmasked as unhealthy hubris, yet also very dangerous. The promises continue to fall short, yet the hype continues to feed economic fires that will eventually burn out, even as AI invades everything associated with technology and business.

Super may have a definition that sets anything following the prefix as special and somehow superior to the ordinary. But it is also slang for supernumerary, which in show biz traditions means extra, unwanted, or unimportant.

You can also find more of my writings on a variety of topics on Medium at this link, including in the publications Ellemeno and Rome. I can also be found on social media under my name as above.

So I'm writing a paper about how I think my #college should handle #AI policy concerning
#OpenAI #ChatGPT #dalle2 #jasperai #novelai #grammerly
#stablediffusion #midjourney
and similar gen models.

What do you think a school policy should be?

One of my professors included in her syllabus a rule that AI is okay to use BUT it must be cited, along with the prompt, result, what was learned, and output must be reworked/paraphrased/summarized but cannot be used "as is" and no quoting AI, because AI cannot author (and we don't know the training sources)

What are your thoughts on this? And what are your thoughts on what a school policy should be? Many schools are trying to block the models.

#SEAK announcement

#SEAK is now connected to #Grammerly and #GrammerlyChrome extension.

First time I have tried it. Very, very nice. It doesn't get in my way. When I proofread I have much better correction hints than just spelling.

It's awesome so far 👍 👍

If #GrammerlyPremium was half the prince per year I would have the credit card out in a flash! ⚡

After four hours of usage. I'm very impressed.
